My Journey
My journey began way way (way) back with a very large, very heavy book on astrology and tarot.
The content intrigued me so much that I soon bought my first tarot deck. I was all in! Throughout high school, I was fully immersed in witchcraft and its way of life. I could practice freely in the comfort of my own space and communicate openly with most of my family and closest friends.
However, when I left home for college, my practice came to a screeching halt.
In this new environment, I didn't feel secure enough to continue my practice while sharing space with strangers. I no longer had a support system, personal space, or the confidence to be open about my beliefs. When I did open up to people, I was usually met with comments like, "Every girl goes through that phase in high school." I started to doubt myself. Was it just a youthful phase? I never knew how to respond to these so buried that part of myself for a long time.
Fast forward many years later, as a mother of 2 nature-loving children, I longed for something deeper to share with them.
In my search for a natural and nurturing approach to education and parenting, I came across the methods of Waldorf education, where I rediscovered the Wheel of the Year. The emphasis on connection with nature, creativity, and honoring the cycles of life mirrored my own core values. It sparked the realization that witchcraft was still deeply rooted within me. Since then, I have rededicated myself to my craft and sharing this practice with my children.
Now, as I reflect upon my journey, I am filled with gratitude for the twists and turns that led me back to my magickal path.
I came to realize that external validation was not necessary for my spiritual growth. I know that your journey is unique and ever-evolving. May you find the courage to honor your own spiritual path.
“My darling girl, when are you going to realize that being normal is not necessarily a virtue? It rather denotes a lack of courage!”
