I Be That Very Witch

Every once in a while, I catch wind of something that makes me laugh at my "witch-ness".  My practice is based in intuition. I sense shifts in energy before they happen. I notice things happening; but don't pay close attention to upcoming astrological events.  In fact, on the "witches calendar", the only events I remember are the solstices and equinoxes.  This year is the first where I have encountered the "longest night" (the night before the shortest day; winter solstice). This led me to announce, jokingly, that I am a shitty witch. Of course, I'm not...but I thought it was funny.  I wanted to talk a bit more about my sensing of energy shifts, though - because I am told that there is a "huge conjunction" happening.  Fun fact: this is being called the "2020 Christmas Star". A quick Refinery29  search tells me that this is actually called "the great conjunction", and it happens when ...

 My maternal grandmother is something of a mystery to me. Growing up in a country on a completely separate continent means that I knew her much  less than my cousins of the same generation. Her passing in 2012 marked the end of a 93 year run Earthside, and I didn't know her as well as I should have. In spite of this fact, I still have much of  her.  Her cheekbones, her jawline, her thin lips. Her love for growing plants and flowers.  Her appreciation for Fado ; more notably Fado da Coimbra .  My mom told me her favourite song was "Samaritana", and it truly is a spectacular piece of music.

Typhoid Mary is still kicking through the Plague When I die, I promise that I will come back to visit my loved ones as a Harpy Eagle.   I was listening to Morbid Podcast (10/10 recommend) It's a strange time.  Winnipeg is under pretty firm restrictions right now, and it's disheartening to see how many people are actively resisting these measures - completely missing that the less they work with advisories, the longer the advisories will be in effect.  Like, figure it out, 10-ply. Of course it's difficult.  Clearly, it sucks.  It's the plague, not a Mediterranean holiday, Chad.  And no, I promise you that it's not the "NEW WORLD ORDER" that is performing a "GREAT RESET" on the planet.  If this is what it looks like, then the NWO really needs to review their financial practices; governments are bleeding money. But, I digress...because these are debates that I don't bother wasting my time with.   Stating that, I do want to spend valuable e...
