I'm home from my witchy sisterhood trip to Colorado. No, really, that's what the impetus was: an off-the-cuff (no doubt ruffled and lace-embellished) email from Kambriel, about an herbal magic class at a local farm, and would any or all of us be interested in coming out and visiting?

The trip turned out to be exactly what I needed. People I needed to see in a place I'd never visited. There was fancy tea, there was walking around Garden of the Gods and marveling at a type of landscape I'm not used to, there was snow, and so much spending time and talking with people I adore.

I am very happy to be home. (The Stroppy One and the kitties are very happy I'm home.) But I miss the other ladies of our personal #MileHighCoven.

(Edited to add: Kambriel warned all of us about the dry climate, and I packed and determinedly applied moisturizer, but wow, I am going to be coating my face in multiple layers of serum for at least a week.)

Cartomancy, a return to.



Halloween tarot: Knight of Bats (Knight of Swords).



Vintage Wisdom Oracle: Gratitude.

Hi, my name is Jilli, and I need to get back to doing things that help me feel balanced and perceptive. Which means more cartomancy and spellcraft.
Lessee, last I wrote, I was feeling better from chiropractic adjustments. That night, I was tripped by a certain large black cat, and fell down a couple of stairs. The bruise on my rear is spectacular. Thankfully, the fall didn't throw my back out again.

The doctor's appointment was good, and I have a follow-up on the 26, so we can go over the results of the x-rays of my upper spine and base of my skull, and the results of the mass of blood tests that are being run. But I kept having milder versions of the migraine that sent me to the ER ... and then on Sunday, the Stroppy One made me switch back to my old glasses (I'd gotten new ones in June), and we have determined that I probably gave myself hellacious eye strain over a few weeks. It is interesting to note that now that I've switched back to my previous glasses, the swings of vertigo and light sensitivity have died down.

And then on Monday, I slid down two stairs again and banged my right arm up. (Not Vlad's fault this time, but my own carelessness.) And the rotten cherry on this sundae of nonsense: all of this has left me exhausted, so I'm not able to get as much done as I want, and therefore I am feeling unproductive and guilty.

WHY, BRAIN RACCOONS? WHY?!

But! I got a new Gothic Charm School post written, I did slooooowly manage to get a couple of mending projects done, and the bedroom is still tidy after last month's Great Uncluttering. And I'm sloooowly stepping up my witchy work, because it makes me feel better.
