Today was a Monday, but it was a Monday in which I got some things done! I made a delicious chicken pot pie, put away what I washed in the dishwasher yesterday, and didn't hate work as much as usual (just the normal amount). Thus the post.
I'm having fun with my witchy journey. I think I mentioned that I don't believe in deities, and that was the thing kind of keeping me from embracing anything for reals. Now that I've discovered secular witchcraft, I'm finding that it is really just intentional mindfulness with pretty smelling things that connect you to the earth and nature better. Fun! I haven't done much aside from some gentle intention setting and lots of reading, but it's good. I'm going to low key celebrate Imbolc, which is something new.
I reject a lot of the "woo woo" stuff I just can't get behind. Like I get a big fat nothing from any rock or crystal, for example, and this has always been the case, so that part is right out. I'm not, like, imagining there will be *~*~magical*~*~ happenings at any time. I really really like the discipline of having patterns to follow with neat props to help sustain my brain. I've been a lot less full of despair this month in some important ways. So that is super cool!
I think this year for my patio, I will do an herb garden, because why the hell not? I love rosemary when it's not being used as a prop for some witchy workings.
Joy/Miss Mouse/Chaos Mouse is doing great. She outgrew her kitten climbing tree, so there is a new sturdier one for her now. Her health remains good, and her appetite prolific - this cat will eat pieces of lettuce, squash, peas, anything that falls on the kitchen floor and anything I'll share with her. Ridiculous baby. She's keeping me on my toes. She is also the reason why I keep all of my witchy materials in the hearth that is shut off to her by a screen I keep tied together with bread ties.
