This community isn’t about rushing into spellwork or collecting practices without foundation. The Witch’s Threshold has been created to give you something many people skip entirely: a grounded, responsible entry into witchcraft. These lessons are not tutorials. They are orientation. Each lesson is written to slow you down, clarify your understanding, and help you build discernment before you ever touch tools, spirits, or workings. This is about learning how to enter practice consciously, without fear, fantasy, or pressure. 🔮 Lesson I — The Call & The Crossing is now live in the Classroom. If you’re new, start with Lesson I and take your time with it. There is no rush here. If you’re experienced, this lesson will help you re-examine foundations that are often overlooked. This path doesn’t demand urgency. It asks for awareness. You’ll find Lesson I waiting for you now in the Classroom.

An Old-Way Ritual of Purification, Fortification, and Quiet Power The Snow Moon is the Moon of endurance. In the old ways, this was not a moon of “manifesting,” but of surviving well, strengthening the spirit, and purifying what must be carried through the last stretch of winter. This rite works with restraint, silence, and intention rather than excess. This ritual may be performed outdoors beneath the Moon or indoors by a window. Snow is traditional but not required; the Snow Moon is about the season, not the weather. What You Will Need • One white or natural beeswax candle • A small bowl of clean water (spring or rainwater if possible) • A pinch of salt or crushed eggshell • One personal token (ring, stone, key, or charm you already own) • A dark cloth or shawl • A quiet space where you will not be interrupted In old-way practice, tools are not “activated” they are recognized. Use what you already have. Before the ritual, wash your hands in warm water. As you do, say softly or internally: “What clings may loosen. What burdens may rest.” This is not banishing it is permission. Dress simply. Avoid jewelry other than the token you will be working with. Cover your shoulders with the cloth or shawl, symbolizing winter’s mantle and the wisdom of restraint. Sit or stand facing the Moon if visible. If not, face north the direction of cold, bones, and endurance in many old traditions. Place the bowl of water before you. Add the salt or eggshell, stirring clockwise three times with your fingers. Do not rush. Old magic begins in silence. Take nine slow breaths. With each breath, imagine your weight settling downward, as if your spirit were sinking gently into frozen earth steady, not trapped. Light the candle and say: “By winter’s light and hidden fire, I stand within the quiet hours. What endures, remain. What weakens, fall away.” This candle is not for wishes. It is a witness. Dip your fingers into the water. Touch your forehead, heart, and palms. As you do, speak:

I’m really excited to share something deeply intentional with you. I’ve created a 30-minute guided liminal meditation with Hekate, designed as a sound bath of words for protection, grounding, and reconnecting with your inner power. This was created for moments when you feel energetically exposed, in transition, or called to deepen your practice in a way that still feels safe and supported. In this meditation, you’re guided into a white light orb of protection while Hekate, the liminal goddess of witchcraft and thresholds, stands watch. There’s no forcing or pushing in this journey. It’s about sovereignty, safety, and allowing yourself to be held while you explore the in-between. This is especially powerful if you work with intuition, witchcraft, or shadow work, or if you’re navigating change and need a ritual-like space you can return to again and again. It’s gentle, grounding, and intentionally designed to leave you feeling sealed, steady, and empowered. 🔮 You can experience the full guided meditation here: 👉 https://youtu.be/tPnI81iwVrE?si=hGTeSkfEb6btNuPN If you listen, I’d love for you to come back and share what you noticed, what stood out for you, or where you are in your journey right now. This community itself is a liminal space, and I’m really honoured to share this work with you here.

I owe you all an explanation and an apology for my absence. Last year I became seriously ill with pneumonia, and since the first time, it’s come back and taken me down three separate times. Recovery hasn’t been linear, and it’s impacted my energy, consistency, and ability to show up the way I want to and the way you deserve. I’m truly sorry for the silence and the lack of presence in this space. This community means a lot to me, and disappearing was never my intention. Right now, I’m focusing on rebuilding my health properly so I can come back stronger, clearer, and more aligned not burnt out or forcing energy I don’t have. Hex & Shadow deserves depth, intention, and presence, not rushed content or half-energy. Thank you for your patience, your understanding, and for being here. I’m grateful for every single one of you, and I’m committed to showing up again with integrity, consistency, and real value as I regain my strength. With love, Laura 🖤
