Self-Care As Resistance In Anxious Times

Send us Fan MailWe name the collective unease, then build a gentle plan to hold steady: practice self-care as resistance, clear intuition, and small rituals that restore joy without ignoring the world’s weight.We start with the week’s oracle pull—a tiny mouse that signals subtle warning and asks us to trust first impressions. From there, we navigate how to protect our attention, set humane boundaries, and stay grounded in kindness. We share what hope looks like on ordinary days: seeds on the altar waiting for rain, snacks and laughter during the game, and a simple Friday the 13th ritual that honors Freya’s many facets and Venus’s call to self-love. Along the way, we explore February’s tricky astrology and why naming one real reason to believe each day strengthens the “hope muscle.”Community threads run through everything. I invite you to my Substack for poetry and personal essays, extend a warm door to the coven’s dream-focused month, and celebrate live conversation on Witch’s Movie Coven. For those craving hands-on learning, I chat about Spirit Northwest in Portland, where I’ll teach building effective, ethical spells from correspondences to ritual structure. I also talk honestly about influencing, how creators balance integrity and income, and simple tactics for mindful consumption—like the 24-hour cart rule and the magic of Little Free Libraries.If you’re craving steadiness, symbolism, and sustainable magic, this one is for you. Listen, breathe, and gather a few tools you can use tonight.
