Patchouli: the official scent of every metaphysical shop you’ve ever walked into and the reason your friend Jeremy’s place smells like a Phish concert. It’s an herb that divides people—some say it’s earthy and grounding, others say it smells like wet dirt and regret.
Picture this: you’ve just crawled through the ashes like a reborn Phoenix, and now—boom!—the archer (aka Sagittarius) shows up, flexes, and aims his arrow toward the stars. The vibe shift is real. Scorpio season had us all sweating bullets, facing our phobias, dysfunctions, and those oh-so-cringe things we’ve been avoiding. But Sagittarius? It’s all about looking ahead—no rear-view mirrors allowed.
Agrimony: not actually the name of a Greek philosopher, Agrimony spends its time as the unsung hero of magical defense. If you’re out there trying to reverse curses or block negativity, Agrimony’s your ride-or-die. Often used in sleep aids, it’s the herbal equivalent of a weighted blanket—except instead of cozy comfort, it’s more like a magical brick wall full of NOPE. Smells kinda grassy, like a meadow on a breezy day, if that meadow were secretly plotting to be the ultimate buzz kill.

Let's embrace Virgo's organizing prowess and tend to our neglected magical practices with some candle-based cleansing spells.
“What you radiate outward, you will attract inward.” —Dr. Joe Vitale
The journey of manifestation is not merely a pursuit of external goals or material success.

“Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.” —Albert Einstein
In the realm of manifestation, synchronicity is that invisible force that guides you toward your (usually) intended reality. It’s the universal orchestration of seemingly unrelated events, people, and circumstances that align in remarkable ways to support your journey.
How many prosperity spells does it take a witch to reach their goal?
This sounds like the opening for a dad joke. If so, the punch line would be two. One to get out of your own way and one to manifest your intent.
I decided to write about mugwort because I am doing a 30-day challenge with it. I drink a cup of mugwort tea before bedtime every night for an entire moon cycle. Here’s what I’ve noticed so far. My dreams have become increasingly surreal, and the spirits that often visit me during sleep are speaking to me in unusual guises. I am used to seeing them in a certain way and now they are changing faces and bodies continuously.
