"I didn't decide to become a witch. I remembered I was one."
Witch, Lisa Lister
Here's my no holds barred review of this book, which has been rather divisive in the witchy community. I share the structure, good points and possible contentious points. Happy to discuss further in the comments, but no trolling please.
Part 5 of A Year in My Journal 2022 Flip through (video no. 5 of 13).
You can see the whole Year in My Journal here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcUEInTaKUvAu4Hc6dkQHksVGiQZUs7MS
This one shows the beginning of April and how I ran out of space and moved into my new journal.
All of the journals I show here are from Notebook Therapy and are Tsuki journals in the B5 size. I have lots of videos on my channel of how I make/ made these set ups. My main plan with me playlist is here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcUEInTaKUvDZ0bB5F4h_tHaHyhDjLDsV

Welcome kindred, I’m Jessica.
I’m on a magical, healing adventure with journaling, tarot, astrology, and creative self discovery. Here I share the tools, inspiration, and resources I gather along my path of deepening self-awareness and connection with All That Is.
My intention for this channel is for it to be a soothing and sacred space which meets you where you are on your journey of creative exploration and spiritual connection; a place where you can come to find ideas and inspiration - gathered over my decades of journaling, witchery, and working with the cards - to help you to weave your own authentic and life affirming practices. Practices which are rooted in a deeper understanding of this world as a place where magic is real, and where we can work with our own stories to weave what happens next.
I would love for you to come along on this journey with me.

I know shorts are supposed to be short and snappy and loud, well this is the opposite of that. I wish you peace, coziness, calm and prosperity this Yuletide.

ABOUT ME
Welcome kindreds, I’m Jessica TheStoryWitch. This channel is for witches and seekers looking to craft a creative and magical life. I share about tarot, moon wisdom, bullet journalling, astrology, divination, feminism, myth and story, crystals, book and deck reviews, goddess spirituality, herbs, ritual, witchcraft history, different approaches to the Craft, and all that good stuff. I started witching in 1991, just before I turned 13 years old, and have been walking the path of a Welsh solitary, eclectic, witch ever since. I’ve learned a lot along the way, and started this channel as a place to share and connect with like-minded people. I upload on (most) Thursdays.

Pagan planners, Witchy Calendars and Moon Almanacs, oh my! Here are the witchy diaries / pagan planners I will be using to feed into my bullet journal next/this year (2020 eek!). This video is a flip though of each with pros and cons.
Here are the time stamps if you're only interested in one particular panner/ diary...
*Look back on the diaries I used in 2019 0:28
*Earth Pathways Diary 5:01
you can buy that here https://www.earthpathwaysdiary.uk/
*The Astrocal Moon Diary 9:21
you can buy it here https://www.astrocal.co.uk/
*We'Moon 18:06
you can buy that here https://wemoon.ws/
*Llewellyn Magical Almanac 26:50
I just got mine from Amazon as Llewelyn is a major publisher and doesn't need the support in the same way as the others do.
Last year's video is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOwh3Eo5qvI&t=843s

A review of Ezzie Spencer's book Lunar Abundance. I cover the good and bad points of the book and compare it with another popular moon practice book - Moonology by Yasmin Boland.
Have you read it? Let me know what you think.

Journal with me while I share five steps to get organised and ready for 2023. I know it's the end of January but it really is not too late. You just need to give yourself some grace.
In this video I share my system for getting organised and set-up to have a fruitful year. And if it works for me - a weird and witchy creative misfit - then I think there’s a good chance it will work for you.
I don't believe that the perfect one-size-fits-all organisation system actually exists. And honestly, I feel like searching for it can be a way of procrastinating and keeping from doing the actual work of getting organised and feeling ready and excited for a new year. How do I know this? Because I do this too. It’s a common thread for so many of us - especially for neurodiverse folks - and it can be a huge source of anxiety.
But there are steps that you can take, which will move you closer to where you want to be and which release a lot of the worry and feelings of being overwhelmed and underprepared.
Let's start.
Time Stamps
00:00 Introduction
01:16 Step 1 - a working calendar system
02:42 Step 2 - task management
05:57 Step 3 - journaling
09:40 Step 4 - goal setting
16:37 Step 5 - working your system
Things I said I would link in the description...
*Goal Setting - Mid Year Reset Video https://youtu.be/z79iFit891U
*Word for the Year https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcUEInTaKUvCCtYISqvwJ5St9D840s0ew
*Depth Year https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcUEInTaKUvAONP68_fhe6Mzm6CP48d1M
My journal is a Notebook therapy Tzuki in B5 size.
