𓅇 Yesterday, on February 26th, Mercury stationed retrograde, and with it comes a familiar shift in the air. Mercury governs communication, technology, travel, contacts, thoughts, and perception.

✨Twelve Days of Witchmas: A Journey of Light, Protection & Sovereignty✨
As the year turns and the light slowly returns, I completed my Twelve Days of Witchmas, a devotional and ritual journey rooted in protection, reflection, peace, and personal sovereignty. This was not about perfection of performance, but about presence: showing up each day with intention, even in small ways. Over these twelve days, I worked with simple but powerful practices: candles, offerings, divination, journaling, and moments of stillness, to realign myself with what trul

☽◯☾ As we move deeper into winter's quiet embrace, the night sky gifts us with the Cold Moon on December 4th - and this year, she rises as a Supermoon, appearing brighter and closer than usual.

Tonight, the moon rises full and near, luminous and warm, draped in its golden mantle.
