This is On Becoming a Crone: Witching & Writing, my space for all the things that make life interesting—the good, the messy, and the downright magical.
I'm Stacy, a 50-year-old daughter, wife, momma (and now a mimi!), dog-momma, college professor by day, and an unabashed witch by, well, whenever the mood strikes! Here, we'll delve into the everyday magic woven into the fabric of our lives. Think of it as a kitchen table chat with your favorite aunt, a mix of personal stories, practical tips, and a healthy dose of "been there, done that" wisdom.
What to expect on this journey:
Seasonal Rhythms & Rituals: We'll explore the rhythms of the earth, celebrating equinoxes and moon phases, and crafting meaningful rituals for everyday life.
Gardening & Culinary Magic: From nurturing life in the garden to whipping up delicious meals that nourish the body and soul, we'll explore the magic in the kitchen and beyond.
Raising the Next Generation: Juggling kids, grandkids, and the ever-evolving family dynamic? We'll share tips and stories from the trenches of parenthood and grandparenthood.
Day Jobs & Dreams: We'll navigate the world of full-time work, balancing our dreams and passions with the realities of paying the bills.
Peri-Menopause & Mental Health: Let's talk openly and honestly about the wild ride that becoming a crone really is and how peri-menopause can wreak havoc on us physically and mentally.
Claiming Our Power: We'll explore the art of witchcraft, but in a way that's practical, accessible, and empowers you to call forth your own unique magic.
Nesting, Growing, & Creating Sacred Spaces: We'll explore the magic in our physical spaces with hygge, DIY Home Improvement projects, and Mini-Farming in Urban Spaces.
The Bigger Picture: Yes, sometimes we need to talk politics and the world around us. We'll do it with a healthy dose of skepticism and a commitment to making a difference.
