8 years ago today, I was arrested while taking my toddler to the local trampoline park.

My ex had a bowl and half a gram of w**d on him. A cop pulled me over for having a center brake light out. My ex gave the cop his bowl willingly and the cop asked me if I’d smoked today, to which I had answered honestly that I had earlier that morning.

The cop put me in cuffs and denied me a sobriety test. He told me it didn’t matter if I smoked a week ago, I was gonna test positive for a blood test and that was all he cared about. I was being charged with a ma*****na DUI.

They searched (finding nothing) and impounded my car, detained me for hours til we made it to the local hospital where he high fived another cop as he asked his buddy “Another one already? This is the best 4/20 yet.”

And that was when it hit me, that I was just a fun statistic in a game of corruption. That game cost me my license due to the toddler in the back paired with the illegal drug charge in my at-the-time non legal state, and many thousands of dollars to fight against it and charges from it.

Here I sit, 8 years later… 3 children, a happier home, away from my abuser, life looks very different now…

The first cards I draw this morning just so happen to tell my tale, and remind me that Justice doesn’t always look how you want it to… but if you don’t give up the fight for yourself it does eventually come.

Drawing the High Priestess on 4/20 in 2026 sipping coffee and hitting the penjamin that I’m now legally allowed to is a whole vibe I never expected in 2018.

I don’t celebrate the day anymore, but happy 4/20 to the witches and those reading who do. May you all find the peace and justice today that I not long ago was desperate for. 💜

This week’s Sunday Pull is a custom week prediction spread for only $5! I felt compelled to pull a public message to go with it, and this is what I got 😬💜 Things are feeling heavy and probably gonna feel a little worse by the end of the week when that thing that’s been barely being held together finally comes crumbling down. Focus on self care this week and do not let yourself fall into mourning over why you’re losing. Instead do the thing you’ve been putting off this week and lean into loving yourself. Ride into the week with no fear, only love, and watch for the new opportunity that’s coming in the wreckage of it all.

04/18/2026

Here's an excerpt from this week's The Saturday Thread which focuses on the #6 in celebration of it being the 6th week of it. This particular segments involves a great ritual for Beltane:

"Beltane Lost Desire Garden

Beltane is quickly approaching and we’ve talked a lot about fire magick lately but what we haven’t talked about much is what to do with the remnants of the fire… both physically and psychologically.

This spell is a way to transform passions, opportunities, personal desires, and goals that you’ve either lost or haven’t become possible in your life into something beautiful to watch grow. This is a perfect spell to do on Beltane and watch work physically and psychologically for the rest of Summer.

You need:

Seeds for a fast growing plants or flowers to use in your craft like basil, marigolds, sunflowers, lavender, thyme, dill, etc.

Potting soil

As many pots or spots in your garden as you have desires that haven’t been fulfilled.

Slips of papers to write lost/past desires and goals on

A pencil

A candle

A cauldron/heat safe bowl to burn in

Cleanse your space and take your slips of paper and meditate on the things in your life that you really wanted but didn’t end up getting. The desires you had that just didn’t work out. The goals and opportunities you missed whether due to bad decision making, exterior forces, or whatever other cards life might have dealt you.

Which of these things do you still feel the disappointment of when you think about them? Write each one down on its own slip of paper. When you’re done writing them all out, lay them in front of you and focus for a moment on turning them all into something beautiful, not letting all the past goals and lessons in front of you go to waste.

Light your candle and announce your intention, something like this:

“By this flame and my will,

may this spell with abundance fill.

By the earth and the soil,

let not a single seed spoil.

By the water and the rain,

Transmute beauty from my pain.

By the air in the breeze

Recycle what once brought me to my knees

To now grow tall what I will plant

Since this energy can’t be recant

Instead it will be reformed

For my desires are never truly scorned.

What did not serve me on my quest

Be turned to something I can use in it’s behest.”

Now use your candle to light each slip, thinking about how the energy that you use to put towards that goal will now go to nourishing the plant you will grow with it, removing the ashes from each one when it’s done burning. Really think about the energy and it’s transformation while the burning takes place, taking advantage of the abundance energy of Beltane to amplify it. When it’s done, you can either put these ashes in the pot of each plant you’re going to keep or individualize them in bags if you’re doing this away from the garden.

When you’re done burning all the lost desires for your little Beltane garden, mix them with the soil for each plant and then plant your seeds. This is fantastic therapeutic spell to watch the energy that was stagnant or painful within you grow into something beautiful, something you can tend to for the summer and then even use again in your witchcraft later in the year… the completing a powerful and fantastic energy cycle for yourself and impacting the later spells with even better results.

~~~~~

In witchcraft and folk magic we see the ashes from ritual fires being used, especially in Beltane traditions. We know the ashes can be scattered for emotional release or buried to help fertilize soil for the next crop. What happens with our intention from our spell when we do this? We feed the universe, the source, this energy back releasing it from us and trusting her to recycle it.

What happens when we put intent into that recycling though?

When our intent follows past the point of our involvement, it carried the spell even further.

Consider this the next time you burn your spell and dispose of the ashes. Everything is source, nothing is truly destroyed only changed… including everything from ashes to your will and desires."

"Harnessing 'Sympathy Magic'

In the last year on my other platforms I’ve written about and referenced quite a few times what I refer to as “survivor magic”. To me, this is a particular type of magic born of trauma and harnessed once one walks through the doorway of transformation that stands between victimhood and visionary manifestation. The angst, shame and moral struggle that come with staring in the face your weakest point, on your knees, with or without help… all become ingredients to a powerful summoning spell of sovereignty. Making it through a heartbreak that left you with nothing, burying or losing your best friend for good, being the only one to walk away from a horrific accident, being beaten and abused for years, giving your all to get something only to fall short… There are endless stories and many levels of pain to survival, each crafting the spirit in a direction that often irreversibly affects our lives. We know and refer to this as trauma. I carry the personal theory in this Wyrd little version of my craft that trauma and chaos are nearly synonymous. In this theory of mine, both words just try to encapsulate escaped source energy that have no purpose and/or direction. Turning that trauma into power, forming that chaos into creation, is the special form of magic that I consider “survivor magic”. Which I believe, in many situations, to be a powerful and potent form of energy when directed at something with intent.

I had never heard anyone put this concept fluently or artistical in quite a way such as when I heard the song “Sympathy Magic” by Florence + The Machine.

It was about a month ago now, I actually remember the first time it came across my Spotify and (in tears) after the first verse, I paused and liked the song and rewinded it to hear it again.

This time, I was hanging on every single word by the time the line “I do not find worthiness in virtue, I no longer try to be good. It did not keep me safe, like you told me it would.”

It hit my ears again and this time, I was uncontrollably, ugly ass sobbing. I could feel the pain of this woman’s every word as it echoed through me via this song but that line… that line made me pause it again, just to cry, because honestly how can you NOT relate when you tried for 10 years to do everything right, sure eventually the system would reward you (or at least the father of your children would stop beating and using you) but instead it handed you pain. True suffering.

“So come on, tear me wide open…” the next sentiment leading with psychological breaking down of the ego and spirit that happens with such a trauma and the reflection left that looks back and says “that’s all you got?”.

Along with the resolution of “Let the chorus console me… Sympathy Magic.” The words rippled through my being the first time she beautifully and hauntingly sung them through my headphones. Survivor magic echoed back in my brain, and I knew in that moment that she was singing about the very exact same thing.

“And the wind through my fingers, the only god that I know. And it does not want me on my knees to believe. Head high, arms wide, aching… and alive.” The giving herself to the universe, the trust, the power that flows through you when you do integrate with the source… I felt all of this in just those lines. The story was all there in her voice and her poetry, the same one I knew so well in my heart and had seen across countless other faces. The tale of a person that breaks completely, picks themselves back up in the wake of living through their trauma when the alternative would have been easier, and choosing life and the confidence and conviction in knowing that they can survive anything.

“So I don’t have to be worthy…” The taking back of one’s own will, the control of your life through the madness, the chaos, and turning it into something… the true transformation and magic here. The rebuilding of the character that was so broken you thought there was no return. The growth of a stronger, more self aware and empathetic ego.

It was maybe my 10th listen of this song that I pulled up the info on Spotify for it, and through my blurred tears began reading the story of how this song came to be and began to weep again at the sheer magic and strength of this woman. In true survivor magic fashion, Florence Welch had started to suffer a miscarriage while performing on stage and pushed through the pain and experience to continue performing. Which, as anyone who’s suffered a miscarriage knows, is a certain kind of trauma that for her was amplified far beyond the scope of normal/common/tolerable by the fact that her miscarriage was an ectopic pregnancy which is a far more physically and psychologically painfully challenging journey to face. And yet, she pushed and performed through it.

“So come on, come on, I can take it. Give me anything you got. What else? What else? What else?” This last line echoed through my ears for maybe the 30th time when I realized this was the exact sentiment of survivor magic. Of sympathy magic.

I’ve listened to this song hundreds of times now. The instrumentals alone are haunting and powerful, definitely spinning and pulling and encompassing a particular energy of it’s own. But the lyrics and power carried through her voice I don’t think I’ll ever get sick of hearing. This is where the word “Sympathy” comes in to the magic. Its’ Greek parent “sympatheia” being broken down into the roots “sym” (together) and “pathos”(suffering/feeling).

I’d seen survivor magic countless times in my life. So many stories, so many levels of suffering, connecting grief across a web of fate in the Wyrd the same way love does, resonating on the same frequency at their core. The most powerful magic that comes from the whole situation is the magic that lies in the fact that one tiny fragment of source, once spirit amongst that whole web of wyrd, can pick itself up and turn the chaos of the situation into something meaningful or healing to themselves and others. There’s beauty in that act and it’s something that I can’t help but recognize and appreciate after the physical and mental trauma that I have endured in my life. This song, and many other creations from the chaos that carry the same energy, are a perfect way to both funnel the pain, creativity and connect others who’ve been through the same, thus… sympathy ensues… and the energies of those survivors come together in harmony, even if for just a brief moment during something such as a song.

There are many types of magic and survivor/sympathy magic is not one borne in ritual or kept through bloodline. This energy instead is the direct result of when the solid ground around spirit cracks and fissures… The light bursts through and starts shining with the gemstone that was underneath.

So let it be woven, so let it be Wyrd.

I just read a comment thread that said “Some of us paid attention in history” and the next comment said

“Some of us paid attention in history and the teacher was the wrestling coach.”

I spit my coffee. I laughed. I thought about the old men I let hold judgement over me in school. I reflected on the system yet again. I cried laughing again. Happy Monday.

With wedding season upon us I felt compelled to share this spell that’s great for beginners. t’s a beautiful, meaningful, simple and fun gift to give the bride and groom!
The photos are from one of the first I ever did years ago. Here’s an excerpt from my substack where I originally published it:

“The Wedding Jar

Wedding gifts are often one of my favorites to gift handmade items for those I know personally, rather than the new age often sought after high end materialist items.
My go to favorite spell is this Wedding Jar which is simple, fun, yet powerful when given with pure intent. It’s also a part of my ritual to seek out and pick a lot of the flowers myself by hand, thanking the plant for its beautiful contribution. Though I know this is not reasonable for everyone, and definitely not required for the flowers used here or any others that you may decide to use in your craft.

Needed:
1 large Mason Jar and its lid
1 pink candle
paper and pencil
Ivy sprig (1) (for intertwining of destinies)
Honeysuckle sprig with flowers (1) (binding attachment and devotion to each other)
Morning Glory sprig with 2 flowers (1) (inevitable cycles in fate binding the two)
Phlox flowers (10) (Uniting of souls, representing a reborn beginning)
Clematis flowers (2) (representing mental clarity on both ends in the relationship)
Blazing Star flower (1) (intense activation of magnetism)
White Lily (1) (representing the divinity of the union)
Pink Roses (2) (representing the love itself of both parties)
Chrysanthemums (3) (representing hope in the past/present/future of the union)
Marigolds (7) (representing protection and abundance in marriage)
Forget-Me-Nots (2) (to stimulate remembrance of the love on both sides)
Basil leaves (for luck and wealth in the marriage)
Salt (for protection)
glitter (magnify the energy +pretty)
Rose Quartz (small pieces) (to protect the love)
Coconut Oil(purification)
Rose Oil(emotional love)/Lavender Oil(healing)/Vanilla Oil(affection)/Ylang Ylang(intimacy) Oil

I like to start this spell by writing the names of both parties of the union, along with their birthdates and the date of their marriage. I then usually write something to the affect of :
“May the spirits bind and twine the love of these two souls and carry their will together through this fate and the next.”
Then I usually follow that with a specialized spell. Say X and Y are getting married I would write:
“Protect and guide this love
From the depth of the bone
and the frequency of pneuma
shared between the spirits here
in this now and those past
and those that remain unseen.
May the entities that guide X
and the ones who nurture Y
unionize together also to create
Destiny, Mythos, Journey, Life, Love
A Bond that transcends the flesh
but also celebrates it now.”
Obviously this can be shortened or lengthened and customized to whatever leads your heart when doing this spell.
Fold this paper up when you’re done, dropping it in your jar and then sprinkling salt overtop for protection of the spell. Then layer your jar with each type of flower, while acknowledging and thanking it for its purpose (your intention) in the spell. The flowers listed here are some of my favorites to use in wedding jars, but there are obviously many others so this can also be customized to the union.
After placing all of your flowers, your jar should be mostly full. place your sprigs of ivy, honeysuckle and morning glory (your binding elements) to the middle, placing your basil leaves and more salt over top blessing, protecting, and amplifying the intertwining of the union.

Next you’re going to mix your oils using coconut oil as your carrier oil adding several drops of each of the other oils, acknowledging their purpose while added and stirred. This should be added to your jar to completely submerge the contents and preserve your spell. Sprinkle glitter within the jar both to disperse and activate the energy evoked from the flowers, and also for visual effect (it’s a wedding after all!).
Now it’s time to seal your lid, light your candle asking for blessings from your designated deity if desired, and begin melting was over the lid to seal it. I often do this in ritualistic fashion, making designs and layers within the wax. While the wax is hot, I layer the pieces of Rose quarts (and whatever other stones you wish that work with your spell) into the wax, also creating visually appealing designs and sigils. I also like to add a slight bit more glitter and salt in this last step as I finish my final layers of wax.”

The Sunday Pull: This week to pair with our fire themed edition of The Saturday Thread (check it out if you haven’t yet!) the spread featured is a personally crafted one by me, with 6 cards determining the truth behind your connection. This is a great reading for those in tumultuous relationships or friendships you’re unsure about!
This week only - $6!

04/12/2026

This week in The Saturday Thread we talk about the power of flame and smoke in your craft and talk about a few different ways to work fire magic into your craft, from Beltane bonfires to my favorite name warding spell.
It also announces the launch of my new R-rated erotica witchcraft publication The Spicy Cauldron, the first post is linked at the bottom of the article if you wanna check it out.
Here’s an snippet of an except from this week on Beltane Bonfires:
“With Beltane quickly approaching and Spring being sprung upon us, many of you will encounter bonfires, but do you know the true power and potential to the bonfire itself?
Bonfires are arguably one of the oldest forms of human magic. Used across many cultures, through many rituals and celebrations, fire magic is just amplified in force when it comes to a bonfire and the collective energy around it. Whether used for cleansing and purity, or release and rebirth… fire, air and earth come together at the will of a collective and create a sort of portal within itself for transformation. Whether through celebration or mourning, the flame and smoke carry that intent to the universe with a quickness, transforming sometimes as rapidly as the elements had together to create the fire itself.
Beltane bonfires are one of our most obvious annual instances of this. An old celtic tradition the word “Beltane” comes from the original “Beltene” which can be directly translated to mean Bright Fire. The fire itself represented the celebration of the rebirth of summer again, the return of life, fertility, good fortune for the livestock, crops, and for their families. The passing through the flames and smoke of such a fire was a symbolic threshold of entering a new and more prosperous season. In the same way a bonfire can be used as such a threshold on its own for personal or communal transformation.”
