The Lonely Witch
Hi, I'm Brazilian, in my twenties, I love studying, reading, playing video games, doing oracles and listening to political podcasts. I'm introverted, sentimental, affectionate and passionate about music. I speak four languages, I've lived abroad, but this is where I belong. I love baking and trying out new recipes. Whenever I can, I go to... Read more

What does it mean to me to be a witch in the 21st century?
To make matters worse, Brazil is a country with high rates of religious intolerance on the part of the majority faiths. Okay, assuming that one day someone comes across this blog, which is more of a diary and personal grimoire than anything else. Even seeing the clear aggression towards those who profess any religion other than... Read more

The only chance I've ever had to escape my mother's clutches never seems to return
My mum tells me not to be afraid of her leaving me with no money, but it doesn't seem that way. Just today she told me to pay for my psychiatrist, blocking me from accessing the bacno's mobile phone as if I were a compulsive consumerist. She does it just like her father... Read more

Artemis has gone up to heaven, she's already come down, Apollo has taken her place and I haven't slept yet
Bloody hell. Tonight is particularly difficult. Not that restless legs having an episode are the only impediment: somehow I'm also suffering from heartburn, insomnia, nausea, migraines, hyperactivity... all at the same time. After I made the final decision not to lift a finger to take oracles about A.,... Read more

I don't feel the need to write every day, no matter how much I've been "prescribed" to do so
My mum said that if Hecate showed up demanding blog posts, I should write more. But about what? I only have therapy to talk about today, and how to stay motivated until August. I used to have strength, but now I feel empty. I don't know how to recharge. I have more sessions tomorrow, I don't want to talk about the same thing. I'm... Read more

List of resources
When I read a friend's birth chart, I finally understood why she got some things right intuitively - she said I was like a fortune teller and my mum was like an astrologer, long before I knew that this was actually our most extensive knowledge. Her 8th house is in Scorpio, which means spirituality... Read more

If Hecate has spoken, she has spoken
I wasn't going to write anything. But my mum said that Hecate told her to tell me that I had to write about "today" sitting where I am. Since I had promised the Goddess that I wouldn't write again until after Lent, I effectively quarantined myself, and I think she came to collect. More... Read more

Something's not right.
The complete absence of T.'s chosen one hurts me in a strange way. It hurts me as a person, because we were going down a very nice path, and obviously, at the very least, I like him. There's no time to fall in love, of course - but my feelings for him go beyond a crush, for example. It hurts me as a soul... Read more

"With great powers come great responsibilities", as Uncle Ben used to say
A situation in my life led me to reflect on who would be responsible if someone took a certain action after a reading from any oracle. A few things were passed on to me by my teacher, although I haven't had many lessons with her yet: never speak of betrayal; don't identify those responsible for murders; warn... Read more

I'm tired of discovering new basements below the basements of the basements of the basements of the basements of the bottom of the well
Everything that could go wrong today did. I burnt myself praying; I dropped seven books on my foot while I was trying to put them in the cupboard; my pack of cards turned to toffee because it was on the table; I had to go out without my wedding rings because it was Juno's day; I forgot to put on my Isis talisman...

If I won a dollar every time my mum tried to put me down...
By then, I'd already be on the rails. Today was finally a normal day. I got ready, went to the usual café and stayed there studying for three or four hours, compiling the List of Resources that I want to publish here. It only took fifteen minutes of my mum coming down to talk to me for me to make a fuss, storm out... Read more

To be or not to be a witch, that is the question
After writing the post "What it's like to be a witch in the 21st century" here, I realised that it would actually make a great chapter, to say the least DISCLAIMER: I'm not generalising or saying what other witches/esotericists experience with their faiths. I ALWAYS refer ONLY to my beliefs and experiences. Even if... Read more
