I do not seek to bring back the old magic 
For the old magic has failed us
Diluted, cowering before the liar god 
It begs for dispensation to exist.

I seek a new magic, undiluted by fear 
Forged in the rage of injustices wrought
Tempered in the blood of my fallen sisters
A vorpal blade meant for the necks of our oppressors.

Our 12yo gd had surgery yesterday to remove her internally fitted chemo line. It seemed to go well. She's home now, to recover gently and start putting a bit of weight back on. She's exhausted, almost transparent with big dark panda eyes. A 3-year weekly treatment plan is ahead, but hopefully the worst is behind her.

Thanks to the Mórrígan, who promised me she would bring our girl through this. And thanks to you, my friends here who have held our girl in prayer. Thank you. xxx

Mary Poppins never explains anything, the spell supercalifragilisticexpialidocious for example, but occasionally someone else will.

"The intelligence that flows through inspired art does not need its instruments to be conscious of the profound weight they're carrying."

*/ Esoterica & Lies /*

This world is not the truth

We all sense that something lies beneath

Ancient secrets, buried in the dust of time

Lost esoterica, waiting to be discovered

The weight of knowledge half remembered

A burden we bear in ignorance

Will we ever wake?

Or are we destined to remain in this

Illusion, this

Lie, this

Prison we but rarely glimpse?

Time has been weird these past two weeks. Like really... off. Not sure if I mentioned but last week felt like Thursday all week, then Friday I legit could not remember the week right. Like I knew it happened but... it was like I read a summary of it.

"She had a mostly uneventful week, punctuated by her perpetual frustration with her job." <-- like that.

THIS week has so far felt like a perpetual Weds.

And I'd just dismiss it, but things ALSO feel full of potential, like one of those brief windows of possibility where the normal paths of what can be are laid aside and ANYTHING becomes possible, if u can figure it out.

Last time this happened and I found my way through, I passed a threshold. Or a test.

I sense, not know, that whatever it is, is something I'd never have expected. And my feeling is that I'll have to choose to take a huge risk.

And that is to start.

Will I pass thru, or will I miss the opp?

I guess we will see. Ha ha.

For Christmas, my son bought me Vagabond by Tim Curry. It's his life story up to and including his stroke and the long road to recovery. Great book.

When, to allow sunlight to hit the new solar panels on his roof, the old man whose back garden sits above my grove on our valley hillside had his great Scots Pine tree halved in height and its branches trimmed severely, the crows abandoned their home there. I've heard them in the years since, still somewhere in our valley but not where I wished they were. This summer they're back, calling, shouting, flapping strong wings, building their big heavy nests in the growing tree. Joy!

The Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben. What trees feel, and how they communicate. I've read this book three times and recommend it.

While I find the story of The Craft more entertaining, the way the magic is portrayed in Practical Magic is so much more charming and recognizable. For example, they actually call to Hekate for aid in one of the spells. In a weird way, it's basically a rather blunt request for something, which, in my experience, isn't the way she rolls. While The Craft invented a sort of meta god 2.0 in a fictional deity called Manon.

I know, I know, it's comparing fictional apples... but it's always interesting to see how magic portrayed. Often it's absolutely infuriating, like the persistent idea that you need to be some sort of special chosen one. Which is why I like the end of Practical Magic, where all the Mums come together to improvise a coven. Showing there is magic in everyone.

So I am re-implement the midnight margarita traditions. Who's with me?

Homegrown, DIY lavender scrub magic! I love doing this. The whole house smells purple. 💜 Making a dry face scrub and an oil/honey scrub for hand and feet. Doing this type of thing really makes my tiny mud soup potion making inner witchling child giggle. Anyone else brew up some goopy magic when they were tiny?

Oh, new moon tonight.

I guess we're doing magic. :diotima: :diotima: :diotima:

Focus: Freeing more of my chaos and recklessness and hellion core from its prison.

Okay I was going to be stupid and silly but nnnno.

Darkanist time.

This reality is a trap. And the fked up part is that it is good at keeping us blind to our chains. Have some tech. Have some fleeting happiness. Have a life of "almost good enough."

All it will cost u are ur dreams.

...

Fk that. Fk. That.

I'm not giving up. Maybe I forgot for a little bit., but I am back. I'm better than this world would allow me to be. U are better than this world has allowed u to be.

Maybe u think I'm delu. Or maybe u need to think I'm delu, BC if I'm not, then what does that mean for u? U failed, right?

No. Fk no.

Ur dreams, ur belief in a better world, a better you, they aren't dead. They're still there.

They're waiting for you to remember.

Remember who u are. Reject the trap. And help me break through the lies of this dystopic nightmare.

Wonderful news! Results are in from the tests our 12yo granddaughter had in June, and her consultants agree that after 4 months of chemo she doesn't need any more!

Treatment will continue for 2 - 3 years, including weekly blood tests, fortnightly doctor's appointments, monthly monitoring, and surgery soon to get her line out.

Thank you, Great Queen. I believed your promise.

Thank you, my friends here, for all your prayers and good wishes. I love you. xxx

The old goddesses are not gone.

Some are hiding.
Some are sleeping.
And some await the whisper of their name from ur lips.

I have forgotten your lessons
I have been less than true
Hiding in comfortable mediocrity
Cowering behind fear, and shame, and doubt.

No longer.

For I am a child of Lilith
I am sex and love and joy and rage
Empowered by magic long thought lost
And I am no one's to control.

There was a small pile of plastic for recycling taking up kitchen space this morning, so I grabbed an armful of it and stepped out onto our front patio where the green bin lives. Bright sunlight made me squint, and the path was warm beneath my bare feet. My focus fixed on a beautiful Dandelion growing happily there in a crack. I stooped to caress her flower and thank her for being my mentor for resilience.

Serious tipsy comment.

Coincidence in this world is fking broken. There's something weird going on, whether it is like, simulation or magic or illusion but too fking MANY weird things are happening for it to be a mistake.

U know it. I know it. Stop fking lying to urself.

I need more witches in my life. Being a "was mostly atheist until THINGS" makes it hard to not slip back into denial mode. I'm trying, I'm not failing, but ugh it's such a pain.

"Just go find some IRL, Elle!"

I'm.... not rdy for that, tbh. And mostly I find Wiccans who are nice and stuffs, but that isn't rly my vibe.

My old friend and sister, Madam Plane, seen through our front room window. She was planted as a sapling in the same year I was born, down on our avenue when our future family home was being built. House, the spirit of our home, is my dear old friend and brother. He and Madam Plane protect us. I love them.

Blessed Litha/ Midsommar!

Looking forward to the solstice tomorrow. We usually go find a nice spot to watch both the sun rise and the sun set, and reflect on what has flourished in the past year.
