Weekend plans? Why not snuggle up, sip slow, and sink into this cycle’s Art Witch Journal. 🫖✨ I’ve carved out this cosy little nook in the studio, soft light, a comfy armchair, altar by my side, oracle cards at the ready. It’s become my winter sanctuary, a space to rest, reflect, and reconnect. This cycle, we continue exploring the magic of doing less. Inside the journal you’ll find: – Chapter 4 of my longform musings – A powerful art journaling prompt on reclaiming the unseen self – Oracle insights – A new Witchy Little Things ritual – Updates from the studio and Cycles of Craft Imbolc is just around the corner, and I’ll be sharing a special edition blog post this weekend to honour the seasonal shift. 🌱 Let this be your reminder to slow down, soften into stillness, and honour your creative rhythm, you don’t need to catch up. You’re already right on time. 🕯️ Grab a cuppa, pull up a blanket, and come join me in the journal. Don't forget my playlist over on Spotify to complete the winter vibes. Link in bio link 🔗

🌀 This week’s Cycles of Craft update is now live over on Facebook! Imbolc Blessings! Traditionally Imbolc is celebrated on August 1st in the Southern Hemisphere. Astrologically, this year it will fall on August 7th. This one’s a seasonal check-in, a little look at where we are in the Wheel of the Year, a quick astro pulse, and a gentle nudge back toward your creative rhythm. Think of it as a weekly weather report for your inner world. Head over to Facebook to read the latest post — link’s in my bio 🔗 A deeper dive (with all things Imbolc, rituals, recipes + more) is coming in next week Special Edition Blog. This image was created using AI to help bring my vision to life in a way that supports my disability. Chronic illness and limited energy mean I can’t always physically set up and photograph these moments myself, but visual storytelling is still such a vital part of my practice. Using AI allows me to share the mood and magic of the season while honouring my body’s limits.

I joined the garden group again today. All the planter boxes are now filled, medicinal herbs, teas, kitchen herbs, leafy greens, veggies, and a little strawberry patch. I had fun making signs for each bed and helped plant out the last box. There’s something really grounding about working with soil and herbs, a quiet kind of magic.

✨ Witchy Little Things ✨ This cycle, we continue with the quiet magic of doing less. We live in a world that worships productivity, always reaching, always performing. But nature doesn’t bloom all year round, and neither do we. Late winter calls us inward. This is a season of roots, of tending to what’s unseen. What if you stopped trying to catch up? What if there was nothing to fix? What if less was not only enough, but sacred? 🕯️ Try this: At dusk, light a candle. Let the shadows stretch long around you. Whisper aloud: “I release the pressure to perform. I honour the wisdom in rest.” That’s it. No agenda. Just presence. 🎨 Art Witch Tip: In your journal or sketchbook, create a page that reflects stillness. Use soft textures, pale colours, or unfinished lines. Let it feel incomplete on purpose. Leave space. See how rest can live on the page. 📖 The latest Art Witch Journal is now live on the website, including Chapter Four of my long-form musings, seasonal reflections, playlist, art prompt, and more. A special Imbolc edition will also arrive this weekend. 🔁 Cycles of Craft updates land on Facebook later this week. 🎥 Studio updates and behind-the-scenes moments on Instagram throughout the cycle. 💻 Please note: I sometimes use images that are created using AI tools. This allows me to keep creating consistently while navigating chronic illness and disability, thank you for understanding and supporting accessible art practices.

🧙‍♀️ Tonight I swapped the pointy hat for a ladle — Kitchen Witch mode: activated 🌿 There’s something sacred about standing at the stove, stirring a bubbling pot of something nourishing. Tonight’s spell? A deep, earthy mushroom soup made from pantry bits, veggie box leftovers, and a splash of the Shiraz I opened the other night for pasta sauce. Mushrooms, rosemary from the garden, garlic for protection, mushrooms for grounding, and walnuts for wisdom. Every ingredient added with purpose. Stirring in healing, letting go of waste, and turning scraps into sustenance. ✨ The cauldron holds: – Sautéed mushrooms – Garlic + onion for warmth and warding – A splash of beef-style Massel stock + red wine – Cracked pepper, salt, and fresh rosemary – Toasty bread rubbed with garlic + rock salt on the side – A little magic in every mouthful Because not all spells are cast with candles, some are simmered and seasoned.
