Suburbia is usually riddled with parks. unless you’re in Florida I guess. Go into those parks and talk to whatever spirits remain there. I’m sure they’ll be happy to get some attention. Leave offerings in a cemetery and talk to the inhabitants. Fly. You can use a lot of the trees and weeds growing in sidewalks and backyards for magic. I’d reccomend working with Dandelion. Wild Lettuce is also a slight hallucinogen you can use to achieve spirit communication or flight. Just work with the local spirits is what I’d reccomend. Visit your local library too. Read up on folklore and history and who’s dead, etc…

Yes to all of the above, and there’s even more that can be done. 
I grew up at the edge of a giant forest. At some point in time, I uprooted and moved to a city. I still go back and forth. 
You can imagine my horror when I thought that I couldn’t connect with the land. I was very, very wrong. 
Those giant buildings are towers of stone and steel, lasting generations, seeing hundreds of years of life. They’re filled with souls. 
The streets hum with the vibrations of thousands of feet, walking to and fro. 
The air is filled with electric currents, charging those great towers. 
The parks are the least of the power sources. 

The wilderness still exists in cities. It leaks in liminal places, in alleyways, in bus stops, in abandoned buildings, etc. In the night, it drips from parks and wide empty spaces. Learn to use it. 

The Land is the Land, whether covered in great formations or untouched by man. It has a memory and a voice if you can listen and hear. 
That sacredness, that power, still flows like blood in the land. You only need to find the veins.

Hopelessness only serves the ruling class and hope is always revolutionary

Grand hope is revolutionary, little hope is sustaining. You must shed hopes that rest on capitalism and the generosity of the soulless and embrace the hope of your own agency and power to change the world for the better

Mundane can be magic.

So I’ve seen a few posts circulating about magical ways to take care of yourself, and while I’m not knocking those, I’m just here to say that mundane things can be just as magical as magical things.

I was talking to @starborn-witch the other day and she was discussing her shower and how it doubled as a cleanse. And it got me to thinking.

There’s so many things that are completely mundane that could be magical in themselves, plus they help in their own way.

Showers and baths? Totally mundane. They’re good for getting clean. But they can be magical if you add that intent.

Eating? Totally mundane. It fills you up and stops hunger pains. But it also can fill you with goodness and energy if you add that intent.

These things are totally mundane, but with the right mind frame they can become daily rituals for you.

Not only that but it’s also a form of self care. And self care is so important for mental wellness.

Self care isn’t always elaborate and special, just like how all spells aren’t huge and elaborate. Sometimes it’s washing your face, brushing your teeth, and making your bed. And each of those things, with the right intent, can be just as magical as anything else.
