Needed this ❤️ I have the tendency to want everything to be perfect and ceremonial and ‘right’ or I don’t do it… needed this reminder that I can still be magick without all that ✨ thank you

I feel this so deeply. So many of us were taught that magick has to be perfect to be powerful, but the truth is, it just has to be real. You are magick, even in the undone moments. Especially then. Thank you for walking this path with me.

I guess I'm a 'lazy' witch, because this is what my practice looks like all the time. 😄

Lazy? Nah, sounds like you’re a master of sustainable magick. Restful or intuitive, and low-effort spells are still sacred spells. The Witch’s path isn’t graded on hustle.

Thank you thank you thank you! This was such a beautiful reminder that just being in flow is enough. I don’t have to searching or healing all the time

Exactly that! You don’t have to earn your peace by constantly unraveling. Flow is enough. Rest is enough. Just being is enough. Thank you for feeling that with me.

So happy you found me here too! 💛

Yes, rest is a spell all its own, and tired witches are still powerful ones. I’m honored this gave you permission to breathe a little deeper. You’re always welcome here.

I’m so glad it brought you that sense of restoration. That’s the true magick..gentle, nourishing, quietly powerful. May whatever you try from it wrap you in exactly what you need.

Wonderful. When I was young everything had to be just so or else I thought I was performing properly. Then I did a spell which turned out miraculously & I had turned the wrong direction, addressed a deity in that space, lol. I learned Al is the Tao, if you will. Now I am on a walker, can't stand too long. First, I apologized. Then I figured they have eyeballs. So I often have to sit in the middle of something. It's all good. Thx 4 article, lovely.🌞
