That's a Wrap!

Or was it a trap?

Listen, 2025 was a fever dream. How could so much have happened while simultaneously nothing happened? What the fuck is even that??

If you’ve been following me on pretty much any platform (except TikTok because I’m scared of people over there), you’d know my sentiments on the way things have been going this year. In short—not great. As I’m in the states, living through this hellish political landscape has wreaked havoc on my mental health, which includes my creativity.

I’ve bounced around half the year, trying to find the muses to get some work done, and I’ve found myself running out of steam as the year end approaches. As frustrating as it’s been, I have to remember that the darker months are meant for rest and reflection and it’s normal for energies to wane.

Allow me to get a little woo-woo for a minute…I promise it’ll be quick.

As a practitioner of magick, or a Pagan Witch as I’m often referred, I like to think I’m pretty in-tune with the natural cycles of life, and for some reason I always forget that the winter months have a specific purpose—to reflect, plan, prepare, reset, and spend quality time with those we love. The “reason for the season” may vary from person to person, but the general sentiments remain the same. As we are a part of nature, it makes sense that we would be in tune with her seasons and the lessons we’re meant to learn if we take the time to listen. Apparently, I’m just stubborn enough to need reminding every year (hella Taurus energy, amirite??)

Here’s how I’ve been spending my time…

  • Working on TAFAR

  • Brainstorming 2026 publishing & strategies

  • Cleaning & purging clutter from my home

  • Lighting candles every day to bring warmth into my space (honoring the Sun)

  • Planning for Yule & Christmas

  • Taking time off from my day job to spend with family

  • Buying in bulk & stocking up for the harsher weather to come

  • Reading for pleasure & growth

  • Journaling & shadow work

  • Going to therapy weekly

  • Goal planning & mapping for next year

Does some of that sound boring or tedious? Sure, but this is when the good stuff happens. This is when I’m able to regroup and figure out what I want the next season of life to look like—how I can work within my means to accomplish it.

I’ve thrown together a little collage of what 2026 has in store…

A little sweet, a little spicy, but unequivocally everything I’m looking for.

Call it a mood board. Call it a manifestation board. Whatever you call it, you can’t call it ugly!!

I can’t wait to see what everyone is planning for 2026. While we aren’t sure what it has in store for us yet, we can at least start off on the right foot, right? Right? 🫣

Either way, I’ll be dropping more gems as we head into the new year, including a new podcast, artwork, cover reveals, deleted scenes, favorite quotes, and who the hell knows what else!!
