Your inner critic has been trained by society to blame every problem on some failing of the individual. The explanations it can imagine are All Your Fault. This spell will help you turn the critic’s question on its head, and think about what you need rather than what you’re doing wrong. Make Magic: Your inner critic takes such a narrow view of ever…

I’m having a practice-what-I-preach moment, giving myself permission to rest when I need it, like we all, inevitably, do.

Mentioned: Kristin Neff’s self-compassion work. Check out her …

What does success mean to you? Like, you personally? The dominant culture sure knows what IT wants you to strive for. Money, titles, bigger houses, and more stuff to put in them. But, if you’re here, you’ve started to realize your search for those things supports the system way more than it serves you or the communities you want to lift up. Mention…

Last week, I talked about Evolutionary Discomfort. Choosing the discomfort of change and growth over the discomfort of settling. So often, this requires us to leave behind jobs, relationships, and associations that don’t support our values. This spell will help you decide if it’s time to go in a self-honoring, self-loving way. Mentioned: Mind Witch…

Okay, love. Today's incantation might make you more uncomfortable than usual. It will challenge you to be real about your discomfort, and how you choose to experience it. I'm sorry, but I'm not sorry. I believe this world needs you at your most fully expressed, at your most free to grow. I hope today's spell helps you to honor that version of you. …

Do we want to be people who take responsibility? Of course! And/but, dysfunctional, oppressive systems RELY ON US to feel personally responsibility for fixing systemic bullshit. It is WAY past time for us to stop beating ourselves up for our inability to solve problems that are sooo much bigger than us as individuals. Mentioned: Brigid Schulte’s bo…

Creativity is evolutionary and empowering. And a lot of the time, it’s really fucking scary. It comes with all kinds of social baggage, about worthiness and individuality, and the impossible demands of uniqueness. This spellbook will help you find a way out of your own head, so you can add your voice to the glorious chorus of human creativity. Ment…

Why “already?” Because there’s something you've been wanting to do, that you've been intrigued by, that sounds like it could be great for you, that would be taking you in a new direction, and you keep talking yourself out of it. This spell will help you summon the courage to do something with that impulse rather than denying it or stuffing it away.…
