Sometimes being a witch is not fancy. Often, in fact, in my case. Most of the time.
Sometime it is making your entire house smell terrible because you just had to brew that fermented walnut dye because its colours are without compare and walnuts truly are a gift from the Earth itself. Sometime it is holding against your heart that dear close friend who's having a tough period of Life whilst she cries out all her tears and muck on your shoulder and tells you about her stuff, because what she needs at that moment is neither a pretty amulet nor a delicious tea but an actual, carrying friend who listens to her weakest self and loves her unconditionally. Sometime it is freezing your fingers like crazy in the night because the spirits and wild animals need their offering and there is no such thing as "doing it tomorrow" when it's about survival in cold winters. Sometime it is cutting open two roadkilled fox babies next to a noisy road, in order to extract the parts that can be saved from their already awfully smelly flesh, to give their spirits some kind of rest and their bodies some purpose. Sometime it is telling your mother, sister, friend or lover their shit that no one dares to tell them, because they need to hear it to be able to grow as even more beautiful persons instead of staying comfortably in a not-so-healthy state. Sometime it is getting freaking wet and cold in the bad weather because the call of the Outside was stronger than your little comfort. Sometime it is feeling oh so shitty because the gods you have called upon demand incredibly difficult things from you. You're still sure it's worth it, but you're not sure you are. Still, you try, and fail, and try again. And you feel Them glancing towards you to see if you're making any progress and you really, really don't want to disappoint not break your word. Very often it is having muddy feet, dirty nails and tousled hair. Short nights, too. It is often a damn lot of social and emotional work, aswell as nature-related messy stuff. And a good lot of daring to face yourself in full. At least that's me. I'm not a fancy witch. But I like to think I'm a deep and efficient one. Although I often doubt that - and it's okej.

Pensées et réactions sur bien des choses liées à la spiritualité. Peut-être beaucoup de critiques. Mais aussi beaucoup d'admiration.
