I first shared this earlier in the year, but it’s more apt than ever.
The world is throwing a LOT at us all right now. Maybe we weather it fine. Maybe we weather most of it fine. But eventually, A MOMENT will be too much.
Maybe that MOMENT is a snarky work email. Or a rude driver. Or a wet sock. It doesn’t matter. No matter how well we are handling the storms of the now, eventually, some random moment will be too much.
Then what?
As Witches, we don’t look for Saviors.
We may have Spirit Allies, guides, guardians, and more. They guide us and offer wisdom, but we don’t look for these Beings to save us.
In those moments in which we need help, we look for it within ourselves.
Begin With Grounding
- Begin with a deep breath, letting it fill your solar plexus (the space right in the center of your abdomen).
- Imagine that breath traveling down your legs, through your feet, driving through the floor and into the earth.
- Breathe.
- Notice something you can see, something you can smell, and something you can feel.
Behind You Stands Your Past Self
- Remember that you have survived 100% of the challenges you have faced to date.
- Remember that before each of those challenges, you didn’t know what you would do. And when the challenges appeared, you found a way to address them.
- Draw that past self into your current moment. The ingenuity that got you through those times still lives within you.
Before You Stands Your Future Self
- They are proud of you. They exist because you made it through what you are making it through, now.
- They know you have access to all that you need to make it through this moment, even if you don’t.
Try This Incantation
I know myself.
I trust myself.
I have all that I need, and if I don’t see it now,
I trust I will find it.
And you will. <3
More Magick For Making…

Ninefold Festival: Becoming A Light In Shadow Times
September 27-28, 2025
Virtual
I’m teaching Bird, Cattle, and Wolf: The Mórrígan As Shape-Shifter at Ninefold Festival through Sisterhood of Avalon. This virtual conference is open to all people who identify as women. Bird, Cattle, and Wolf is one of my favorite new classes I’m offering people who are curious about The Mórrígan, and it’s certainly one of my most impactful offerings. I’ll be offering it alongside twelve other phenomenal presenters whose topics range from End of Life Doula work to The Transformative Power of Healthy Anger to Goddess journeys and more.
If you identify as a woman, I strongly encourage you to join us next weekend!
Bird, Cattle, and Wolf: The Mórrígan As Shape-Shifter:
The Mórrígan is an ancient Irish goddess frequently associated with warfare and Magick. Yet in many myths, the Mórrígan shape-shifts, influencing major events in Irish mythology. This class will begin with a brief introduction to the Mórrígan, with a special focus on the myths in which the Mórrígan changes shape. Through original exercises inspired by these mythologies, participants will have the opportunity to explore ways in which they can shift different courses of events in their personal lives.

So Mote That Con 2025
A Virtual Conference on Living as a Witch in Today’s World
October 18-19, 2025
I’ll be teaching my popular class The Dangerous Goddess. Here’s a peek at what we’ll explore:
The Dangerous Goddess
When is a goddess bad, good, or misunderstood? What if a goddess is a little bit of each? Can a fertility goddess be vengeful? Would a death goddess offer comfort? Contemporary goddess worship is quick to label goddesses as “dark” or “light,” without considering the nuances and context of the era from which they originated. By looking at the powerful contradictions within Brigid, Hekate, and The Morrigan, we will explore the “scarier” parts of these three goddesses, and discuss the importance of becoming comfortable with these aspects both in the goddesses and in ourselves.
The Magick. The wisdom. The shenanigans…and one HELL of a line-up!
So Mote That Con is the virtual conference I’ve co-hosted with my TWL Cohorts for five years running and this year, our keynote is MARA WILSON! Yes. THAT Mara Wilson: of “Matilda” ,”Mrs. Doubtfire”, “Miracle on 34th Street!” and more! She’ll be chatting with us about her own Magick of the movies as well as her own spiritual journey in a live Q&A.
