Today I spent time at St Nectan’s Glen, marking the Spring Equinox — a powerful shift in both nature and within ourselves 🌸 The Equinox (around 20th March) is the moment when day and night are equal, light and dark held in perfect balance. It’s one of only two times a year this happens, and from this point forward, the light begins to gently take over. In many traditions, this is seen as the true energetic new year — not January, but now… when the earth begins to wake. And you can feel that shift. Walking through the woodland, hearing the water, feeling the stillness — it was like stepping right into that moment of transition. Not rushed, not forced… just quietly changing. 🌿 What the Spring Equinox represents: • Balance between light and dark, inner and outer worlds• A shift from winter reflection into spring growth• A natural reset point — energetically and emotionally• The beginning of new cycles, new intentions, new possibilities After winter — which often asks us to slow down, go inward, and process — the Equinox gently invites us forward again. But not with pressure. With alignment first. Standing by the waterfall, there was such a strong sense of release.Water carries, clears, and softens… and it felt like a reminder that we don’t need to carry everything into this new season. ✨ you can let go of what feels heavy✨ you can begin again, slowly✨ you can move forward in your own time 🌸 A gentle Equinox check-in: Where in your life feels out of balance right now?What are you ready to leave behind from winter?And what feels ready to grow — even just a little? This is exactly the kind of work we’re doing inside the Sweet Pea community and courses — not surface-level, but gently understanding the deeper layers of your emotions, energy, and life patterns. Because real change doesn’t come from pushing harder…it comes from understanding yourself more deeply and moving in alignment with your natural cycles. Inside the classroom, we’re exploring things like: 🌙 emotional patterns and healing🌿 chakra and energy awareness💫 working with cycles — moon, seasons, and self✨ building a life that actually feels aligned, not forced

Friday the 13th has long been whispered about as a night of mystery, but within witchcraft circles it is often seen as a moment of amplified magic and spiritual power. The number thirteen has deep roots in the craft, once associated with the lunar calendar, sacred feminine cycles, and the traditional belief that a coven held thirteen members. Rather than a symbol of bad luck, many witches see thirteen as a number of transformation, protection, and hidden fortune. When it falls on a Friday a day historically linked with goddesses such as Freyja and Venus, both associated with magic, love, and power the energy is believed to carry a particularly potent charge. This chant is used to claim that power rather than fear it. The words focus on awakening personal magic, turning fortune in your favour, and aligning yourself with the mysterious currents that flow on this night. To use it, light a candle, ground yourself, and speak the chant three or thirteen times, allowing the rhythm of the words to build energy within you. Focus on what you wish to attract luck, opportunity, protection, or personal power. Because for many witches, Friday the 13th is not a night of misfortune. It is a night when old magic remembers its strength.
