🎄 On a bright but bitterly cold morning by the shoreline, the Hearth Witch of Tea & Tarot begins her winter preparations. The sea air is sharp, the sky the color a frostbitten blue, and a hush settles over her cottage as she sweeps the entryway with her faithful broom. Each stroke clears away the remnants of seasons past, making room for new magick to take root. Her breath curls like smoke in the air as she works, humming a tune older than memory, calling warmth back into the bones of her home.
Inside, she turns her focus to protection and blessing. She hangs fresh pine and braided sprigs of rosemary along the window frames and doorways, letting their scent weave through the house like a quiet shield. Pine for longevity. Rosemary for remembrance, intuition, and warding. In her cauldron, mulling spices bubble softly. She used cinnamon, clove, orange peel, and star anise, filling the cottage with their rich fragrance. These are the scents of welcome, of hearth magick, of winter gatherings yet to unfold. Before her teachings of the day begin, she lights a bundle of sage grown in her summer garden. She allows the smoke to drift purposefully through each room, cleansing and enchanting the spaces where her guests will soon be held.
🕯️ She places a final charm upon the mantle and steps back to admire her work. The glow of candles, the shimmer of winter ornaments, the soft hum of protection weave into every corner of her dwelling. Just as she ties the last ribbon around a sprig of pine, a gentle jingle rings from the doorway. Her first visitor has arrived, ready to receive warmth, wisdom, and the blessings sparked from her hearth.
