How is it June already?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Looking at the calendar, the summer solstice is right around the corner. Given that Mercury is moving back direct from its retrograde (I started this post when it was still fully retrograde), I wanted to take some time and reassess how I\u2019m doing on my goals for 2022\u2019s calendar year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in January I posted that I wanted to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curate a healthy existence to keep learning while leaning into abundance that comes with knowledge by consistently practicing mindful Magic and Earth healing while writing it all down. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, we\u2019re eating more and more healthily. I am literally harvesting in the morning, a lot of what we will eat in the day. And if it\u2019s not coming from the greenhouse or perennial garden, it\u2019s coming from my larder of food put by the last growing season or from my fellow Grow Food neighbors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daily Kitchen Witchery is not only enhancing our life nutritiously, but also spiritually. Living and moving with the seasons feels so natural and right-on that there is a sense of calm I haven\u2019t had in many years. Our healthy existence includes exercise every day by way of yoga, walking, or Tai Chi, the latter of which we are so new in learning, but oh wow is it amazing. I still have to have some dark chocolate, ice cream, or baked goods on occasion, and well those are one of the joys of life. Plus I wanted to lean into abundance. A special ice cream sundae to celebrate goslings being born on the Covenstead is allowed. It\u2019s what makes life worth living sometimes. <\/p>\n\n\n

More Flowers all over Villa Westwyk is a Goal for 2022. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Mindful Magic has continued as Runa Troy\u2019s Magical Services & Goods <\/a>continues to build, slowly but surely. My work doing dream interpretations, Rune Castings, and the like is so fulfilling and its growth has been such a blessing. My intuition is being sharpened by deepening my knowledge of astrology, and intensifying my connection with Runes, my ancestors, and the Spirits beyond the Veil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earth Healing is a huge focus now that Spring is in full force (finally!) here in the Pacific Northwest. We have seven goslings, six chicks, and nearly a dozen duck eggs a day coming in. We have planted hops this year, which is new to us, to aid in The Viking\u2019s brew haus activities. I have finally moved all the raspberries from the very bad, no good spot they were in (not by me) and put them in their own garden, which allows for expansion and UPick opportunities down the road. The space where the raspberries once occupied will be a garden of things just for the Beastlings \u2013 everything from amaranth grain to kale to sunflowers to zucchini. <\/p>\n\n\n

Eating straight from the land is so healing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Plans are underway to host gatherings here for friends and family because we have the outdoor space to do so safely. We\u2019re excited to share Villa Westwyk\u2019s gorgeous energy with those we love and to celebrate our Patriarch\u2019s 85th birthday, a girls\u2019 weekend or three, and so much more (Can you say Witch Camp \u201822?). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Writing it all down not only includes this blog, but my secret project which is gaining some much needed traction in the right direction. Additionally, I\u2019m in a writing group of other Mystics via The Tarot Lady\u2019s Hierophant Writing Group. With their encouragement I have progressed so much further on this work in the last three months than I would have otherwise. This Writing Circle is powerful Magic and I\u2019m happy to have opened the door to this curation. I\u2019m learning so much as well as producing and that aligns with my goal for this year as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Mercury Retrograde gets a bad rap and now Saturn is going Retrograde, it\u2019s an opportunity to work with the energies and make even more Magic. Oh and Venus is in Taurus, so love yourself. Love your kindred. And let\u2019s move through the rest of this year taking steps forward curating our truest selves and best life.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
