Considering 2026

 

I just repeated a spell that I've done several times before. I decided I wanted to start the New Year with an Etsy shop sale. I generally take a picture, then post the picture on DeviantArt so that the Internet lends energy to my spell. These spells are successful. I've never had a spell that I posted fail. I do all sorts of spells online, usually with several layers built in, but out of sight. While I may indicate what kind of spell I am doing, I NEVER explain exactly what I did. I do not want anyone to undo my work. 

I feel like spells online is just the latest way for Witches to work between the worlds. We can all be in our homes, or at work, or in restaurants, or on the bus, or waiting for appointments while viewing the same thing at the same time. Or we can see it days, weeks, months later, and still hit the like button, which adds a bit more energy to the work. I love that people I do not know and will never meet face to face, are in agreement with my majick. That's very encouraging, and I think it's much better than trolls spewing hate. I have never gotten a negative comment on one of my spells, but if I did, I would delete the comment, cleanse, and rework the spell. 

I am trying to do majick every day. I feel like that's what Witches should do. I have been thinking about the past year and noticing that several things fell to the side. I haven't studied Latin. I stopped designing fabric. I stopped designing needlework. I have lots of projects in piles. I have project piles in my bedroom and in my studio. I bought lots of things then never used them. 

I struggle with pain and diabetes. Sometimes it's easier to give up. There are days when everything seems like a wasted effort. Many times I realize I forgot something important. 

I think journaling helps. At the very least, I get all the feelings out so I can move on. Making to do lists is an absolute necessity. Without a list, I will not remember and I certainly will not know where to start. With the list, I can figure out what is important. 

For 2026, I would like for my life to be easier. I would like to remember that I am an artist who makes cool art. My fiber group started a sketch book project. I am nowhere close to finished. I decided to keep going, maybe adding in fiber works. Every day, I can make something. 

Blessed be, my dears. What do you want 2026 to bring?
