You Don’t Have to Be a Witch to Have a Witchy Creative Practice
It doesn’t matter whether you consider yourself a witch, if you don’t have a spiritual practice, or even whether or not you “believe” in magic, divination, or astrology. You just have to want to make your creative time/space/approach more sacred. Or structured. Or personalized. Or sexier. Just more.
It doesn’t matter if you’ve never set up an altar, picked up a Tarot deck, or noticed what sign Saturn is in. You can start where you are, take what works, and leave the rest.
It also doesn’t matter—speaking from personal experience—if you built a practice and then lost your way. You can come back, rebuild, try a different approach.
Witching your creative practice is a process of honoring yourself and your work. It changes your relationship to creating. It asks you to pay attention to your space, your emotional and energetic responses, and how the particulars of the outside world are affecting your creativity.
We all already have rituals for creating. From where we sit to which pen we use to the scented candles we burn to the playlists we make for writing time—you’ve already witched your practice.
So, what might it look like to, say, dedicate a corner of your desk to a creative altar? Or call upon Mercury when you sit down to write? To move with the natural rhythms of the seasons, work within auspicious astrological transits, rest when the moon is waning?
Which part of your process needs to be honored?
Which part of your relationship to your creativity needs to be tended to?
How might witching your practice invite more softness, more openness, more inspiration to your creative projects?
If you want to think deeper about these and other questions around creativity, I hope you’ll join me on June 29th for our free workshop, Witching Your Creative Practice. We’ll talk about several different ways to make your practice witchier and better aligned with your hopes and desires.
