✨magical adventures for every season✨

spring🌱🐇: falling down a rabbit hole, exploring an abandoned castle, meeting a talking bird friend, accidentally stepping into a fairy circle, swimming in a glowing lagoon, climbing the tallest willow tree, having picnics in ancient forest meadows, plucking a witch’s favorite flower, raising butterflies, sleeping under the stars, splashing in puddles, helping a mama duck with her ducklings cross the road, catching tadpoles

summer🌞🌿: discovering a mermaid’s cove, going on a pirate’s treasure hunt, dancing in the woods on midsummer’s eve, meeting an ancient talking tree, finding a dragon’s lair, taking a bite of a magical fruit, shrinking from a magic spell & making animal friends, swinging from vines in the trees, waiting up all night for the meteor shower to begin, napping under a shady tree, an owl swooping low overhead, fresh fruits, light linens, scraped knees

autumn🍂🐿: spotting a witch flying overhead on a misty night, setting out to find a werewolf, investigating the ghosts in the attic, crunchy leaves underfoot as you travel the spooky forest, carving the biggest pumpkin of the patch, hearing eerie howling & screaming as the full moon rises, entering a decrepit old mansion with a creaking door, seeing two faces look back from the mirror on all hallow’s eve, steamy windows as the apple pie bakes on a rainy day

winter❄️🌙: skating across a frozen pond, the sound of your loved ones laughing around a table, the way snow crunches under your feet as you explore a white forest, a family member gifting you a spell-bound family amulet, mysterious sounds coming from the dark woods, discovering a strange tome in the attic, trekking for hours to get the best view of the aurora, the silence of a snowy morning, snowball fights, hand-knit mittens, strange howling in the night (must be the wind)

One of my favorite things about Jane Austen is that she knew the real fear wasn’t running into some terrifying Frenchman or finding your lover’s wife in the attic…it was having to spend time with someone who is slighter cooler than you are, or playing piano in front of a critical audience, or thinking a picnic will be the perfect time for your jokes but then it isn’t

Hey there, witches! Spring is coming

Here are some tips for the season:

- spring for me is all about waking up and planning ahead for the next half year. Spring is slowly getting up, stretching and being excited for what is to come, so 

- get yourself motivated. Think of all the things you want to do within the next weeks and months and if you don’t have any plans yet, make some! The bees are starting their work again, and so should we :) 

- update your calender. Look up birthdays, transitions of planets that might influence you, vacations, deadlines, get that stuff written down. If you have a big garden, look up when to plant what

- if you have any long term wards, renew them!

- clean, clean, clean! If a full house cleaning seems like too much, break it down and start small. Change your sheets, open the windows and get the air circulating. Clean out your fridge. Take on one shelf, or one side of the closet. But get started, and I promise you, you will feel so good every time you look at your accomplishments

- and cleanse, cleanse, cleanse! 

- if your room is still full with that heavy, sleepy winter energy, do something about it. Let in the spring air in the morning and get the energies flowing. Stirr it up however you feel works best. I love me some harmoneous bells (which I feel wake me up as well), burning incense, any kind of jazz like music, but you do you! If you wanna smash some pots together, do so

- this includes throwing things out. Especially during the colder times we tend to hoard, and while there is nothing wrong with this, there might be things you do not need (anymore). Give away what you can and throw away the rest to make space for something new! Holding onto things that no longer serve a purpose attracts heavy, lazy energies

- get in touch with nature. As you feel nature waking up and slowly blossoming, you will too. If you can, spend time with children and animals 

- get a seasonal calender that provides you with info on what plants grow when

- to make a spring wish come true - take some organic paper and a coal pensil or a paint made from ashes, and write your wish down. Be specific and friendly. Place seeds in the middle of the paper over the writing, and fold it all up. In the early morning hours, but before dawn, bury it in fertile grounds. Dig the hole with your hands (make sure not to cut yourself on anything) and as you close the hole again, ask the forces that awaken nature to bring energy and life to your wish as well

- if you are not on a set schedule, take a few days to wake up with the sun, or generally wake up a bit earlier every day, and reflect on the passing of time from dawn to the sun being all the way up

- look up what local products you can buy and how to live more ecologically responsible to honor nature, small but steady steps, remember!

- take time to meditate about who you are and who you will be this year. If there is any anger or fears within you that might hold you back from living your best life, let go of it now. During winter, we take the time to look within. Choose now what parts of yourself you want to show the world

- connect and reconnect with others. after the time of isolation comes the time of connection - share your love and your joy with your dear ones to fortify it 

- make sure to clean your shoes from old dirt. As you clean them, imagine brushing off all negativity and all hindrances that might appear. You want to walk new places in the new year and not drag the past with you. Also you will have clean shoes and feel much nicer when you wear them

- spring is a great time to rewire your brain and your thought patterns to be more positive :) Each time you see a blooming flower or a new bud on an old tree or a young animal, think a positive thought about yourself or others

Most importanty: the morining stets the tone for the day, and spring sets the tone for the year. Show the universe you are ready for a wonderful year full of love and happiness. Make plans and stick with them. Send as many good vibes out there and get your vibration as high as possible. By all means, there is no need to over-do it and for godeness sake don’t compare yourself to others. Small and steady steps in the right direction will be all that is needed.

I am rooting for you
