How do you reconnect/nurture your feminine side?

    I’ve come back to witchcraft and spirituality. After years of taking a hiatus because I didn’t believe in my power/craft enough, and hit many low points, this is transformational energy for me. It’s my Saturn Return, and oh boy did it come in with an absolute bang.

    I spent 4 years with a man who prided himself on being a “rationalist”, which involved simply tolerating my witchcraft. He tolerated it because he was getting sex out of me. Majority of the time I dealt with snark, mockery, disregard, “well actually” explaining away everything I believed, sighs, eyerolls, comments about “space racism”, “oooookay then”, “witchy shit”, “you’re getting woowoo again”, lots of little jabs. I used to laugh it off because I just accepted he was a snarky person. It actually bristled me, quite a bit, but I said nothing and joked along.

    Well, he is an actual piece of shit who was cheating on me the entire 4 years.

    So now at a time I need to reconnect with myself on a deeper and more intuitive level, I am getting back into the craft. I’ve shifted away from Green Witchery just because I lack the supplies at the moment, but the Fair Folk have been calling me hardcore so I’m now basically a Fae Witch lol

    Practically, I’ve been doing yoga. A lot. A LOT. Every morning, a yoga practice. Started off at 10 minutes, now doing 20-35 minutes. And they can vary in ‘type’; mostly a vinyasa but I explore yin and gentle/restorative when I’m in craploads of pain. Yin yoga is VERY feminine so it’s wonderful, slow, and nourishing when you just need to slow down and not do Virabhadrasana.

    Combining the two? And lots of sacred yoni/shakti menstrual related yoga flows, to nourish myself at a time where endometriosis is wreaking absolute havoc in my body? Absolute bliss. Bliiissssssssss.

    Outside of the spiritual stuff, I dress in the kind of clothing I love and do my makeup accordingly 🙂 just a little whimsical faerie hippie who absolutely has a medicinal cannabis prescription.

    Self love and care. Not being stingy with what I want–be it skincare, cosmetics and apparel. And speaking kindly to my inner child.
