Witchy Things


I’ve recently been feeling the calling of coming fully back to practicing and really doing witchcraft everyday. I’ve recently fallen off of actually incorporating it into my everyday life and turning to my altar during any inconvenience lol. I swear there have been more crows showing up around me and it makes me smile honestly, it feels like home is calling. I can hear the crows whispering to me, telling me that I know what to do. I love it. Sadly, when I moved away for a bit I wasn’t able to fit my altar anywhere in my place so I had to unfortunately abandon her. So it only feels right to worship her again and

give my sorrows. 


During the time that I had moved, is really when I started seeing all of the crows! I remember one crazy day, which is also the day I noticed this happening, quite literally as soon as I had pulled into the driveway, two crows landed right on top of the house and squawked at me. Plain as day! I will never forget it, truly a magical moment. That’s when I knew though, that it was time to start making my way back to the light (lol im jk). But still! I knew I had to do something and stop ignoring my needs and wants. 




Now that I’m back, I can actually focus on my witchcraft. I actually really want to truly teach myself how to read and pull tarot. It’s something I’ve always been so amazed by, and it’s always right! I strive to be just as good as people who can look at the card and know exactly what it means. I hate having to go into my little notebook and be confused asf by the meaning lol. I know you need to connect with the deck and kinda make your own meaning but for me, even that feels difficult but I got this! I will get there, I swear. 


As of right now, I have two tarot decks. One is the classic but instead it’s in black and white. Then I have none other than The Labyrinth tarot deck which I don’t let anyone touch, those are specifically for me! Unfortunately I don’t use those as of yet just because I haven’t really got down the meaning of all the cards and I want to wait a bit until I know more so the deck and I are at least understanding each other. 


Anyways! That’s all I have for today's post and I hope everyone has a lovely lovely night!

Cozy days filled with rain


Fall is slowly approaching!! Yesterday it started raining and it got sooo cold outside that I was wearing long pajama pants and a long sleeve shirt. It was so cozy you wouldn't even think it was the middle of August. I'm not sure if it's because I was born in the winter but I just love how fall/winter feels more okay for me to stay inside and bundle up. Sometimes it feels like summer is obligating me to go outside and if I don't, I'm wasting the day. But I never get that feeling any other time of the year and I LOVE IT!!



I made banana bread muffins last night so it's not even to mention that baking made the day even comfier than it already was with just the rain. 


I feel like end of the summer rain days are nice gentle reminders that Autumn is in fact around the corner. With that being said, I absolutely need to do my fall thrifting, I'm sure there are amazing things in the shops right now. My closet has barely any long sleeves or sweaters, I end up buying more pants/skirts than tops. 


The gif I added on this post is a great example of how I felt as soon as the air felt crisp yesterday lol but instead I wanted coffee rather than hot chocolate. Sadly, it was hotter today but the morning was foggy and absolutely beautiful. I will keep holding onto these colder evenings and soaking in all the moments leading up to September.

My rating: 8.5/10



Review: 


I really enjoyed watching this movie! It kinda had the same vibe and aesthetic as The Amazing Spiderman which was very cool. It was nice to see the punisher hehe but the movie also felt kinda quick? Maybe that's just me but the acting was amazing!! I loved the story telling and world building.

 I loved the detail that went into this movie, there were even some small references to the other Spiderman movies! Ugh so cool. I didn't give it a full 9 just because I don't know a lot about the most recent marvel movies and lore behind everything, so the movie (to me) didn't feel super insane on that level.



Would I recommend it: 
Yes!

 Drive-in Movie Night!

08.15.26


Tonight I am finally going to see the new Spiderman Brand New Day! My boyfriend and I have been planning for so long to finally go out and watch it, and tonight is the night we get to! I'm so excited, I've been trying so hard to stay away from spoilers on tiktok but I have unfortunately seen a couple things. Other than that I have no idea what happens. 


I wanted to choose a drive-in theatre because 1. they're cheaper and 2. they are just SO cute! I love the whole set up between the sitting in a car and getting cozy, to walking to the concession stands to get some snacks. 


I'm so happy they're still open and working, I think it's a great way to get people to see movies. F streaming services! I fully agree and support the coming back of everyone going to the theatres, I feel like our world needs some fun things like that. 


Anyways, I'm just ranting now. Expect another post todat as I will be back on here to post a Review and Rec for the movie
