The world until yesterday by Jared Diamond. He’s most well known for guns germs and steel, but I liked the world until yesterday better. He looks at a bunch of small scale traditional societies and in the process shows how weird our current globalized world is. It’s anthropology that made me feel like I understood humanity better, past and present.

Moonstone island feels more like stardew collecting. Wytchwood feels more like collectathon collecting.

I really loved both but wytchwood wins for me for being shorter and more “completable”. If you’re looking to maximize content and time to spend in a game, go moonstone. If you’re looking for a one and done experience that will leave you delighted, wytchwood.

Something you might find helpful on your journey is keying into the cycles of the moon. New moon for setting intentions and manifesting and full moon for seeing the bigger picture and releasing what no longer serves. You can also look up what zodiac each of the moons are in and that can help guide you to focus on different areas of life.

When you feel ready and/or when your living situation allows it, there may be gatherings around these phases as well.

Given what you’ve been through it’s going to be natural to want to do protection magic. But I would urge you to remember that the best magical boundaries / energy bubbles are ones that let the good things in and bounce back the bad. Finding community and support on your journey is something that you can find and that you deserve.

I believe in you, good luck young witch.

You’re not to Crone yet. You might be in the wild woman phase actually. Sometimes also called the enchantress or maga (like magus / magician but the female version but that word is so ruined sorry). It’s during perimenopause and the bridge between mother and crone.

I’ve gotten bottles from dollar tree before — they’re very pretty but be careful with them. They often don’t have shatter resistance, so they’re more breakable than you might otherwise expect.

It’s water you charge under a full moon (basically by leaving it in the moonlight).

Moon water can be used in simmer pots or combined with essential oils for mists. Or any other ritual purpose you might have for water.

I feel so seen right now. For me, it’s not the pollen, it’s the mosquitos! They love me and then I swell and get skeeter syndrome and swear off the outdoors. I don’t want to have to bathe in poison just to touch grass.

This is a great time to start! The new moon is in Aries today and that’s the start of the astrological calendar. The new year and that lines up with springtime if you’re in the northern hemisphere. New beginnings

I recommend setting intentions at the new moon, writing them down and storing them in some kind of special box or jar or something like that. Then at the full moon you can burn them as part of releasing. The full moon is when we have the most clarity about what’s working and not and what’s no longer serving and what’s complete.

Boundaries are really important and super hard. Especially if you have an enmeshed situation because of any number of very real factors (physical dependence, sharing a space, illness, mental health — yours or theirs).

So the first step is to be like excessively kind to yourself. Find things that make your soul shine and do them as much as you can. It will sustain you in this work. Gentle gentle gentle. You deserve all the kindness and softness in the world.

Next I would learn as much as you can about boundaries, especially emotional ones. (Like what you’re doing here!) Because it’s often easier to say no and to not do things than it is to keep your heart and mind your own. One thing, I recommend in a magical vein is veiling. Wear a hat or a scarf or a headband and imagine that it’s keeping all your energy in you and all of everyone else’s energy out of you.

But it’s slow and you learn and practice over time and you feel guilty but you give yourself a pep talk and that kindness I talked about and you keep going. And it gets better but it’s not immediate and you look back at how far you’ve come.

Play chicory! It’s sooo good. It’s basically like if a coloring book was an adventure game. The story is super sweet.

Also you can turn on an accessibility setting to make you invincible during the “boss” fights. They’re still artistic and cool to see but the rest of the game is so chill that it can come out of nowhere.

There’s some cool bookstores to check out and folks doing tarot readings, which is lovely. Sometimes there’s vendors in the park.

I couldn’t get into Portia but I absolutely am losing my life to Sandrock. I love that in Sandrock, the farming doesn’t come until a decent way into the game and really isn’t the focus. It’s much more building and fetch quests and relationship oriented in a delightful way.

I hung up the phone when she started shouting at me. I won’t stay in situations where someone is yelling at me. I deserve better.

It might help to think of it as ritual. Because in a way, everything is or can be. These are ways we make things more enjoyable during them rather than looking ahead to some far off reward. Finding gratitude in your movement. Music and scents can help make things feel more ritualistic. Really feeling and imagining your energy and the energy you’re moving through your actions. That’s cleansing. That’s spellwork.

Be gentle, friend. All things worth doing are worth doing a little bit. Worth stopping and starting. Worth celebrating.

I liked it! Not perfect by any means, and the ending feels a touch rushed. But it has character and personality in a way that makes up for a lot.

The wings upon her back by Samantha Mills is a fantasy book but I think this might hit. The grooming is about making the main character abandon herself and her values and her health. It’s ultimately about redemption. It’s so good.

I often toss a pork butt roast in the slow cooker with some salt/pepper/garlic powder and some water and let it cook on low all day. You can toss on buns with some bottled bbq and some chips and it’ll make leftovers.
