Wake up, sleeping beauty!

That is what I have been hearing in my head as of late. The whole active witchcraft thing I used to love when I moved into my first dorm to go to university, and which I kept up all the time I was living on my own, has been reduced since I moved in with the BF. It is not that he disapproves, he is very supportive and usually asking questions about the sabbaths and such, but I also know that, despite having looked into tarot and druidry, he considers himself a "scientific" and "logical" man and tends to fron on all this "weird" stuff. So I have tried to keep the openly displayed witchyness to a minimum - I make charms or charge jewelery and wear it, I occasionally put up an altar in my room (which usually ends up put in the box again because we either need the storage or we need a room to keep the cats safe if we have visitors with dogs), but apart from that my activity has been slumbering. You may have read, some time ago, about my struggles with worshipping Diana as a witch and being in a traditional relationship at the same time (which, it seems, was not what she had in mind for me - and sometimes I still wonder if I was not simply standing in my own way), and then I started looking around for other goddesses to work with, and some have raised their heads with curiosity - Freya being the most frequent visitor, followed by Hekate and Isis every time something is wrong with our cats (don't ask me why it is Isis and not Bast, I wouldn't know). Others have stopped by simply to say "hello", without much happening, and I have acknowledged it and thought (each time!) that I should spend more time and space on my witching.

For a few days, now, it seems that one or more of them has/have been poking me and asking, "Are you finally ready to pick that wand up again?" (Figuratively, I have never really worked with a wand.) I feel the need to incorporate more actual witchcraft into my life instead of just living witchily, and I do not really know where to start... maybe pick up some of my older books again, and declutter my room to once more make space for my altar and a meditation cushion (I have made three, all of which are used as throw pillows in the livingroom).

Furthermore, I do not only want to put the witchy back into my room and my "me time", but also into the rest of our home and into the things we do together. If the BF gets his christmas tree and the holiday lights, I should get my witchy will as well.

Now, if only I knew how to start... okay, maybe really just start decluttering my space. Sleeping beauty is officially awake!
