(This is rootsofthestories's fault, to be clear.)

Any of y'all who have done something with magic over the past week or so, tell us about it!

This post will recur every Friday (or so I intend). The idea is accountability: those of us who want to practice magic more regularly can check in to say what we've done, and that'll encourage us to do more.

I haven't really, but I figure waiting to start this till I have really will not be a help!

I uh.

I don't even go here, but: I made a charm for road safety for the express purpose of shutting my anxiety about driving the heck up, and I have had a very close call this week that none the less ended with everyone safe, and I've been way less anxious. \o?/

I'm not really part of a magic-making tradition, but if this works, I'm going to keep doing it.

Well done!

Thanks! I am Very Confused, but also pleased.

I did some journaling about grounding techniques in my um, I guess we can call it a magickal journal? Sure.

and I thought about spellcasting for reframing ableist narratives.

more...I'm poking at intent and technique, etc.

also because I did a spell I'd done before lots of times on Mabon and uhhhh, it was one coincidentally I did often when hanging out with toxic people, and I mostly did it so I would have a low spoon spell to do on Mabon, and THAT WAS A BAD PLAN. because I was immediately in the headspace I was in when hanging out with toxic people for like, a night. (I mean, I was *technically* doing a "cleansing negativity" spell but I was hoping for something like, gentle and soothing, not like "cleanse it like a purgative" kind of thing. So in the spirit of "learning from one's misdeeds" and "being careful what you wish for" I'm uhhhh being way more mindful of my intent and technique while I go over basics again that I was initially taught by toxic people.

(thanks, universe. thanks for that kick in the butt to do that. I probably needed that. but oof.)

Eek. But you did learn something you might not have otherwise, it sounds like?

[untonuggan]

yes!
