There’s a moment on the healing journey that catches almost everyone off guard. You start to feel better, clearer, more like yourself again. And then, out of nowhere, something old returns. A feeling, a trigger, a thought you thought you had already moved through. It can feel confusing, even frustrating, like you’ve somehow undone all your progress. But what if you’re not back at the beginning at all? What if this is actually a deeper level of healing? Because something has changed. You notice it now. You understand it in a way you didn’t before. You don’t lose yourself in it quite as much. Even if it still hurts, there is a part of you that is more aware, more present, more steady. And that is growth. Healing doesn’t move in straight lines. It moves in cycles, in layers, in quiet returns to the places within you that still need care and compassion. Each time you revisit something, you’re not starting over—you’re meeting it with more of yourself. This is how real healing happens. Not in constant forward motion, but in these gentle, powerful shifts that slowly change how you experience your inner world. So if something has come up again for you recently, take a breath. You are not going backwards. You are going deeper. And that matters more than anything. Where have you noticed a shift in yourself lately, even if it feels small?

Since November it’s been storm after storm, wind, rain, grey skies… but if I’m honest, it hasn’t just been the weather. It’s felt heavy on a deeper level too. With Jupiter in retrograde, it’s been like everything has been brought back up to the surface. Old thoughts, old emotions, things I thought I’d already worked through… suddenly right there again. There have been moments where I’ve genuinely felt a bit all over the place, like I’ve lost my footing slightly. And I know I won’t be the only one feeling that. But I’ve been sitting with it, and I don’t think this has been about going backwards. I think it’s been about clearing. Clearing what’s been sitting underneath. Clearing what we’ve pushed down. Clearing what’s ready to finally be let go of. It doesn’t feel comfortable… but it feels important. So if this winter has felt heavy for you, if you’ve felt emotional, tired, triggered, or just not quite yourself… you’re not alone in that 🤍 Be gentle with yourself right now. You’re not falling apart — you’re shifting. I’ve created a little space where we talk about all of this more deeply, support each other and just be real about life, energy and healing. You’re so welcome to join us inside Sweet Pea 🤍 How has this winter felt for you? 🌿

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.
