What I have learned about self-care as a witch
I have been a practicing witch for nine months now. One of the biggest things that I have learned as a witch is not what energies crystals give off, or the ways to make spells, or how to harvest plants under a full moon to get the most powerful energy from it, no, it is the importance of self-care.

Tea with My ancestors
This year I started practicing witchcraft. I was a skeptic for a very long time, but I started to notice that I was able to predict things, then I noticed that I was able to influence things. So I started to study. As I sit here with my cup of tea, which was heating as I finished my coffee, I reflect on the ideas of witchcraft and the things I have learned over the past nine months of study and learning.

He was dressed in a wizard hat, robes, and a long fake wizard beard that hung awkwardly from his ears, exposing his round baby face. He gestured wildly and knocked his wizard staff trying to push himself back into a sitting position, his bout of dramatics done and a grin back on his face.

Another morning broke cold and icy. There was ice in the top of the buckets of water and everyone shivered in the cold. I had started wearing the long, thick dresses my mother had had made for me.

As we ventured beyond the outskirts of my father's farm, I caught my breath. "Are you alright miss?" asked the legionnaire riding by my side. I nodded smiling at him. My heart raced and I felt a thrill come over my. I was free. I had left my home for the first time and felt a certain freedom come over my as the markers passed us by.

The Smell of Magic
I wish I had known what I was before I had done what I did. For I am a witch, born into my powers and was untrained in my abilities. I was a scientist many years ago. But now I hide and run. I am in fear for my life. I alone am responsible for revealing the supernatural world to the humans. I honestly know nothing of the supernatural world before I brought it crashing into the sunlight, bright and fierce and terrifying to the world of the humans.
