Dancing naked in the woods bathed in moonlight.
Ooh I gotta try this!
Did you use any music or did you just dance in the nature’s own sounds?
What sort of dance was it?Just the sounds from a crackling fire and the wind moving through the treetops. And no specific dancing at all, at least nothing with intent going into it. It becomes what I feel like, connecting my inner state to the now very limited existence around me.
This week or ever?
Ever was my plan of asking 😁
Probably set up my meditation circle with rocks in the woods beside my house when I was a teen just getting into witchcraft. At that time, I would also squirrel away branches my mom pruned from her trees and sand them down into wands. I had a crepe myrtle wand that felt so soft and good in my hand :') I took my little hot glue gun and glued a quartz I had found onto the tip lol. It wasn’t the prettiest, but I loved it.
As an aside, that’s part of why the meme trend on lemmy right now about women not understanding how cool sticks are makes my inner witch hiss. That and it just being an extension of the stupid girls-are-dumb-boys-are-quirky thing 🙄
Edit: also! I made myself a fertility shrub this past summer (Google what shrubs are, they’re delicious and some of the earliest drink mixers). Basically made a ginger-peach shrub that I meditated over and dedicated to Aphrodite. They have to ferment for a few weeks for best taste results, so every day I’d shake the bottle and repeat my spell/meditation until it was ready to drink. I’m now 16 weeks pregnant with our son :)
Of course, we were using fertility tracking techniques as well, but incorporating magic into the process—for me—certainly made things feel more fun and, idk, intentional I guess?
I turned my cousin into a newt.
