The Witching Year

I Spent Most of My “Witching Year” Feeling Like a Failure

By Guest Contributor | October 13, 2023

When people ask “why do you want to become a Witch right now?”, I hesitate on answering. There are technically two truths to that answer. One is not sexy. The other is embarrassing.

Tarot of the Week

Deck: This Might Hurt Tarot Deck,by Isabella Rotman, published by STERLING ETHOS, an imprint of Sterling Publishing Co., Inc.

Card: Major Arcana Thirteen (13) – Death

This week, there is apt to be a strong emphasis on letting go of something that no longer serves—be it a career, a belief, an object, or a relationship. The cycles of change are unavoidable, and by working with the energies of change rather than fighting against them, allow space for new and brighter opportunities to present themselves.

In contrast, avoidance or resistance to change is only likely to prolong the inevitable. The more one clings to opposing the incoming changes, the potential for stagnation and greater difficulties are only likely to increase. Refusal to recognize and accept what needs to be released is unlikely to prevent any transitions, but merely postpone the transformation, possibly making it even more difficult.
