Witchery 101: New Materials
Getting started transferring my notes into sharable pdfs for newsletter subscribers. Ultimately, there will be study guides for Tarot, Crystals, and Herbs, and I think I may get into Moon Phases, Runes and Sigils when those are done. If you’re interested in sharing my research, subscribe now and get a new page every week.

Illuminated Playing Cards: 1st Draw
I’m just starting with these new cards, so it’s not hugely surprising that I pulled a bunch of the same suit (needs more shuffling). That said, the clubs are aligned with wands, which are the spirit/creativity cards, and I’m trying to make up for the lack of progress on my WIP today, so… there might…

New Cards! (Also Plants, and Books… Millions of Books…)
I went into Books-a-Million for the first time in forever 🎶 Got some more #research in the form of a classic magical novel, a book on being a writer (as opposed to a book on how to write), and a book on modern witchcraft practices. The big win was seeing these cards in person. The #illuminatedplayingcards box has two…

Working…
I got back from our Spring Break (#Woohoo!!!) trip yesterday, and jumped into today like that #girlonfire (and not just because my tarot draw for today was the Seven of Wands). Vacation was more stressful than relaxing at times (they always are – new place, lots of unknowns, of course the kids get sick, of…

Why I didn’t post anything yesterday…
Or, you know, last week. At all. I wish I could say that I was writing all day and was so super focused and productive that I never touched my phone. I wish I could say that I was working on some fun decor project for my Etsy shop or planning out a new post for my blog.…

How to Witch
As part of my ongoing efforts at productive procrastination (I’m going to get some writing done soon, I swear), I did a little shopping at The Aquarian Bookshop and Secret Roots. I’m reading a lot of YA, fantasy, contemporary fiction, and witchy nonfiction. I’ve also been listening to some podcasts (This one, and this one…

Tarot Tuesday
So, not gonna lie, first impression was “Swords!?! Ack! Not good!” Then, you know, I actually looked it at it some more. They’re counting down, which means the worst is behind me. (Literally behind me in the case of the 10). I’ve been waiting and waiting for my youngest to be old enough to be…

Tarot Twos-day!
I promise I meant to get more posts done last week. The good news is, after I got the message from that reading that I should “keep going,” I did. I read two comparable novels and added over 2,000 words to my WIP. It’s not nearly enough, but it’s more than I had been doing…

Tarot Tuesday
I’ve been feeling a little down on my writer-self lately because I haven’t written as much as I wanted to, and the cover design I’m working on didn’t get the response I expected. Obviously, it’s normal to feel this way, and it makes sense that my work needs… work. I’m new at this after all.…

Book Mail!
Stepping outside my usual genres for some lighter reading from Paperbackswap.com. This was a great swap, both books are in beautiful shape (and I didn’t realize they were hardcovers!!). The swapper put in a pretty handmade (I think?) bookmark with Finding Audrey. Fangirl has an actual built-in ribbon bookmark, the likes of which I have…
