Any Witches Here? Part 9.

[speakout]

Or Wiccans. or Pagans? Or anyone who is interested in a magical path or feels some magical stirrings.

A place for support, learning, swapping ideas and magical inspiration.

Yashmis and Speakout thank you for your good wishes. I'm feeling much better after a quiet day, working from home. I don't actually mind feeling rough after healing work. I know it's just my body letting things go and I'll feel so much better as a result 😊

I completely agree with the advice about raising your vibration. When I work, I set an intention to only work with the highest entities, those evolved souls working with universal love and for the good of us all. This is where the magic really happens. I've no time for lower entities who want to fall around making people trip up or spill drinks, what's the point in that?

Just wanted to share this. I saw it and thought of your bee dream speakout. Very shamanic, right up my street! 🐝

Oh thank you! I will try that meditation, if I ever find some quiet time!

Thank you for sharing the meditation Yashmis I've saved it and will look forward to listening to it.

Busy day at work today, rushing from one thing to the next with little time to draw breath! I'm looking forward to spiritual group tonight. We always start with a guided meditation to relax us down, just what I need after a busy day.

Love to all ❤️

Good evening, lovely ladies.

I'm de lurking after reading When I work, I set an intention to only work with the highest entities, those evolved souls working with universal love and for the good of us all. This is where the magic really happens.

I would love to hear more about this please @VioletCharlotte if you wouldn't mind.

Also, we had an impromptu trip to the beach where dd2 collected an eternity of shells (now in a large coffee jar) and dd1 found a hagstone!

Good morning everyone, and a warm welcome to Kalim8, I love the sound of the shell collection, shells have such a special energy don't they.

A day of protection for me, piled up with obsidian. A wise friend talked to me yesterday about other people's " stuff" in life. Their traumas, their feelings- I have a huge tendancy to take on all that burden as my own and try to fix things for people I care about.
I am always happy to help those that are dear to me, but they have ownership of their path, and their own challenges and mess ups, and today I feel like just taking a back seat and letting everyone sort themseves out.
Many of us overburden ourselves I guess, especially if we feel deeply and have an acute intuation.
But, that phrase "other people's stuff" made me think deeply- for what exactly it is. Not my stuff. And they can deal with it while I tend my own spirit.
So I have my Labradorite in my bra, my obsidian beads around my neck, my goddess candle burning to honour her within and start my day with lightness.

Sending everyone an ease of burden today.

Good morning sisters,

Your strength is tangible through your words and intentions speakout. It is beautiful. I agree we have a tendency as empathic people to want to fix things for those closest to us and like you I know that really we need to attend to our own needs first. You are very wise. Wishing you peace and protection today.

I love the sound of the shell jar too Kalim8, and how wonderful for your DD to find a hagstone. It’s lovely to see you here.

A busy people filled day ahead here, like speakout I’ll be using special stones and other protective practices to balance my energies. Bras are such handy receptacles for us witches aren’t they?! Mine currently contains a blue lace agate stone and a piece of tissue infused with oils to help generate the energy I want for the day ahead!

Morning all - Peace reigns, well sort of.

First set of holiday guests went home yesterday and my parents arrived last night and are already driving me crazy. Luckily everyone has gone out for the day leaving me home alone. I pleaded the necessity of doing some work which did the trick.

Annoyingly next door needs some work done on their roof and need to put some scaffolding on my land. I've said yes but the noise of the contractors is really intrusive. Just as well it's me up here this week rather than guests.

I've also managed one trip to the beach for more hagstones and shells but I really need to be rid of everyone and able to do some "stuff". Roll on Monday.

YashmisCrone thank you for your kinds words. I hope you feel supported today.

Elphame sounds like you have a lot of intrusions going on, and craving some peace. I often feel this way.
A quiet time and space is my favourite place!.

Thank you speakout, I do feel supported today ☺️

Good call playing the work card Elphame, a witch needs her space. Wishing you space and peace to do your stuff uninterrupted.

Just having a tea break and saw this. I love the way this woman writes and her humour.

‘Mainline the magic’. Brilliant.

I've been following these threads since the beginning. I'm in awe of the strength and wisdom of the women here.
Yashmis thank you for your post about the energies, that really resonates with me too.
Speakout Your post about 'other people's stuff' really spoke to me. Like you, I tend to take on other people's dramas and pain as my own. I am really trying to do something about this.
Reading about the 'drama triangle' has really helped me understand what is going on, I am a classic rescuer. I think women who are drawn to the spiritual life are often empathetic and feel for others too much.
I can really visualise you all going about your daily business, and it is immensely comforting.
Violet The cloud photo is amazing!

RoseQuartzGlow Glad you have posted, there's always room by the fire, grab a comfy seat.

Ah, thank you. I can feel the flames and the warmth.

Hello everyone, popping in to sit by the fire for a while before bed. I'm feeling relaxed and happy after my yoga class and hoping for a good night's sleep. I've had a number of vivid dreams the last couple of night, I feel these are full moon related.

Speakout I know exactly what you mean when you talked about 'taking on other people's stuff'. I was in exactly the same please last week and was beginning to feel rather overwhelmed by other people's dramas. I mediated in it and was reminded that although we can support and advise, we can't let people use as a crutch to prop themselves up. We all walk our own path and people need to lead their own lives. It's ok to step back sometimes. I hope you've managed to find some peace today 🙏

Yashmis thank you for that link, I will take a look later. I hope you're not too tired after your busy day.

Elphame being busy and surrounded by people seems to be a bit of a theme today! I hope you manage to find the peace you're craving.

RoseQuartzGlow (lovely user name!) welcome to the thread, lovely to have you with us.

Kalim8 thank you for your question, I'll reply properly tomorrow when my brains working properly!

Blessings to you all for a peaceful night ❤️

Good evening sisters,
I hope everyone is feeling peaceful and is able to take time to rest and replenish.

RoseQuartzGlow you are very welcome here, I’m glad you’ve posted too.

Violet thank you, I am feeling peaceful and happy this evening too. Glad to hear you’ve had a good
yoga session, I hope you sleep well.

I agree it’s something us women often need to work on in order to protect our own energies. Alongside our empathy I think we are taught we’re the emotionally strong ones, often we are.

Women throughout the ages have needed to be emotionally resilient, take it all in our stride and our strength is admirable. But it doesn’t mean that we can or should fix everything for everyone else.

By pushing our own needs aside to attend to others we can lose touch with what they are. I think it takes practice to retune and attend to our own needs. But it is crucial if we are to stand in our power.

I think changing the way we interact with others requires us to be gentle with ourselves. Building new neural pathways can feel strange because it’s unfamiliar even when we know it’s the right thing to do. Working on my saviour complex has probably been one of the scariest and most rewarding things I’ve done.

I forgot about the roadworks on my usual route home this evening so my 20 minute journey turned into an hour. A quick reframe from frustration, I took the opportunity to listen to an audiobook. Interesting stuff on the subject of how we’re programmed:

wordery.com/i-thought-it-was-just-me-but-it-isnt-brene-brown-9781592403356?

I know I’ve shared it before but it’s the same woman who did this TED talk about the power of vulnerability:

Interesting groundwork for the incoming shadow season

Wishing everyone a restful night

Thanks for that link Yashmis, I really admire Brene Brown. Have never listened to an audio book. How do you download them? I am reasonably tech savvy but have no idea how to do that. Is it Audible or something?

I saw this on Facebook and thought I'd share it as it resonates with yesterday's discussion about 'dealing with other people's stuff'

Hope you all have a good day. I've got a day off today to help DS get ready to go off to university in Sunday. So I expect to be doing lots of laundry witching! But first a coffee and a walk in the forest with my dog.

Love to you all ❤️

Ooooh.... this looks exciting!

Just a quick, hi, flying past, just wanted to say thank you VioletCharlotte for those beautiful words. Exactly what I need right now.

Good morning,

It feels like a particularly magical one to me today. I’m hoping to find time for some planting spellwork and will make full moon water later. Until then I’m enjoying the wonderful autumn breeze and light whilst I go about my day.

foreverconscious.com/spiritual-significance-friday-13th

I’ll pick up on anything that makes the day about the divine feminine!

Rose I listen to them on this app- borrow them from the library

Have a magical day sisters 💫

Ooh, that does look interesting Violet, are you going to go?

Thank you for sharing those wise words, pertinent for all of us 🙏

Don’t know what I’m on about with the autumnal air- it’s like summer here today!

Just spent a happy hour in the garden, bare feet on the ground getting earth on my hands. Lovely wild bee and spider medicine today! 🐝 🕷

It's such a beautiful day Yashmis. I've been for a dog walk in the forest, I'm home now sitting in my garden enjoying the sunshine. Love the bee and spider photos!

I'll have a proper look at that event later, I would like to go I think.

Here's a link about tonight's full moon. Quite a bit of this resonates with me. There's some good advice here about remembering to stay grounded and keep one foot on the earth. Something I need to do more of as I have a habit of drifting off into the other world!

I am so inspired by all the self nurture going on here.
VioletCharlotte that is a wise thought. Keeping grounded, with one foot on the earth, allows us to keep a connection to the source while doing work we need .
YashmisCrone ai love the persepctive on your photos, skygazing.

The moment I read your post I tore off my shoes and socks and headed into the garden. The ground felt divine. Soft, cool and so so comforting and solid. I need to do that more.
Everyone is fed and watered, and my socks are back on, but I can still feel energy fizzing from my feet.
I am looking forwwsrd to the full moon energy.

I am loving the feel of this special moon, loved the energy of Friday 13th at 8 💖💫, only just come out of my practice.

Thank you for the article Violet, wise advice there.

I love it that you did that speakout, it’s such a simple but powerful practice isn’t it. I very much enjoy the thought of us weaving our witchy ways in our own little corners, connecting as we do. Again, I’m feeling very grateful for our powerful community here.

I hope everyone’s feeling the magic tonight x
