My list of reasons is long. My main reason is blissful solitude. This has been a dream of mine since I was a teenager. It's so quiet, requires very conscious thinking and allows me to be connected to the universe, right here, right now without leaving massive negative impacts on the planet. It truly is blissful.
I've never been one to fit in the box. I tried. I tried to stuff myself into the toxic box of living the dream. Then I woke up one day and had simply had enough of living like a door mat, fighting severe anxiety and depression. I wanted to fully experience living, my way.
One could say I began my spiritual awakening that day. That was 13 years ago, before it was TikTok cool.
This whole awakening has not been all roses and glitter. Quite the opposite actually. But it has been eye opening, heart opening, and life changing.
My witchy practice is very...eclectic. What resonates is what I follow. My entire life has been a series of various experiences, so why would my practice be any different?
Sure, I live next to a swamp, with my husband, 5 chihuahuas and Auggie the cat. Sure, I'm probably the crazy lady to those around us. Sure, I light fires in my firepit and dump large quantities of incense on them as the wind blows the incense smoke across the swamp, with the intention of balancing the energies. Sure I plan pretty much everything I do around the moon cycles.
I mean, come on, don't all witches do that?
However, my practice is my own, just as yours is your own. We can practice as we feel fits, and respect how others practice, even when it isn't the sane as what we do.
I just wanted to pop on before I go get firewood and say "Hey!" and welcome you to my blog. I'll share parts of my practice and parts of my journey with you and all I ask is that you take what resonates, leave what doesn't. We are all here to experience this living thing. In my little corner, I ask we follow the golden rule. There's enough hate out there, let's keep it pleasant in here.
