✨ Witchy Little Things: Rest as Ritual, Rest as Resistance ✨ What if rest wasn’t something you earned, but something you honoured? Not a reward, but a rite. A sacred act. A spell of softness in a world that worships exhaustion. Rest is ritual. Lighting a candle and curling up with tea. Letting your body follow its own rhythm. Saying no when your soul whispers for stillness. These are all spells, quiet ones, tender ones, that say: I choose to care for myself. For those of us who live in bodies that ache, who navigate chronic illness, disability, or burnout, rest isn’t a luxury. It’s lifeblood. And it’s powerful. Because in a culture that constantly pushes us to produce, choosing to rest is radical. Rest becomes resistance. A refusal to be consumed. I’ve been in a season of enforced slowing, not by choice, but by necessity. And yet in that stillness, I’ve found unexpected magic. The kind that only rises when we stop running. The kind that whispers through warm cups of tea, through long naps and unread books, through simply being. 🕯 Art Witch Tip: Try building a small ritual around your rest. Wrap yourself in a blanket like it’s a cloak of protection. Infuse your tea with a whispered intention. Let your journal hold your fatigue with gentleness. Rest doesn’t have to be passive, it can be deeply intentional. This season, I’m not pushing. I’m listening. To my body. To the earth. To the pauses between things. Because that’s where the magic lives. 📷 Image created with AI — I sometimes use these tools to support my creative practice due to the physical limitations of my disability.

🌕 Full Moon in Sagittarius | June 11, 5:43pm AEST 🔥 Firelight in the dark season 🔥 This full moon invites bold release, truth-telling, and a reclaiming of your inner compass. It’s a powerful moment to let go of old beliefs and step into a deeper truth, especially as Jupiter shifts from quick-thinking Gemini into emotional, moon-ruled Cancer. ✨ What are you ready to release? ✨ What truth feels freeing, wild, and yours? I’ve shared a full Cycles of Craft deep dive over on my Facebook page, including a DIY oracle spread + journal prompt to guide your ritual.

✨ Jupiter in Cancer | Cycles of Craft ✨ June 9 – June 30 Big shift incoming, and it’s got that deep nesting, soul-tending, heart-rooted vibe. Jupiter, planet of growth + expansion, is moving into the watery sign of Cancer, and this one hits home. Literally. Here’s what’s stirring under this transit: • Inner expansion through care, comfort + intuition • A pull toward ancestry, memory + emotional truth • Nesting energy: home updates, altars, sacred corners • Creating space that feels like safety + belonging • Softening the hustle — growing gently, from the roots up For me? Perfect timing. I’m moving into my new forever home this weekend, a space that will hold my studio, my rituals, and my rest. Couldn’t be more aligned with this cosmic shift. ✨ Want the full astrology download? I’ve shared a deep-dive over on Facebook @ Ange’s Studio — link in bio 🔗 🖼️ A note on imagery: Some images I use are AI-generated. As a disabled artist, these tools help me bring my visual ideas to life when pain or access makes it hard to create by hand. They’re still part of my magic, just conjured a little differently. With love from the threshold.
✨ Witchy Little Things: Thresholds Are Sacred ✨ Not all thresholds look like doorways. Some are quiet pauses, the moment between breath in and breath out. A change in season. A creative lull. A choice not yet made. In witchcraft, and in life, thresholds are sacred. They mark the spaces between what was and what’s becoming. Liminal spaces. Magical spaces. Uncomfortable, fertile spaces. Persephone knew the power of the threshold. Her descent wasn’t just into the Underworld, it was into transformation, into deeper knowing. I feel it too, now, as I shift into winter’s slower rhythm. The paints are resting. The words are waking. The studio is packed up, waiting to be reborn in a new space. Even rest is a threshold. It holds potential, quietly gathering beneath the surface. In my practice, I honour these in-between moments with small rituals: lighting a candle before I write. Sitting with a warm cuppa before beginning. Tending to the pause before the doing. 💫 Art Witch Tip: Choose a threshold in your day, waking, beginning your creative time, or even washing your cup, and make it sacred. Breathe into it. Speak an intention. Let that small pause become a portal. ✨ Note: Due to chronic illness and disability, I sometimes use AI-generated images to support my work. It allows me to bring my vision to life when physically creating visuals isn’t possible, an accessibility tool that helps me keep sharing my art and magic, even on the harder days.
🌿✨ Stop it Before it Starts ✨🌿 Hosted by @violencepreventionaustralia, this powerful art competition was created to raise awareness and spark conversations around violence prevention.
