✨ Emotional Regulation for Neurospicy Witches (No Deep Breaths Required) ✨

Digital graphic with distressed white text reading “Emotional Regulation for Neurospicy Witches (No Deep Breaths Required)” over a dark, cracked ember background with faint occult symbols.

Raise your hand if you’ve been personally victimized by the phrase “Just take a deep breath.”

For neurospicy witches, that advice feels about as useful as telling a wildfire to calm down. When your nervous system is short-circuiting, breathwork isn’t the vibe—it’s just another reminder that you’re “too much” for a world built for quiet, polite magic.

This isn’t about finding serenity in a meadow. It’s about sacred stimming, rage-crying in the bath, cursing into your tarot deck, and reclaiming emotional regulation on your terms.

🌩️ Why “Calm Down” Doesn’t Work (and You’re Not Broken)

  • Neurodivergent brains process emotions differently—bigger, louder, wilder.
  • Breathwork, mindfulness, and “just regulate” advice can backfire, leaving you feeling more out of control.
  • The shame spiral: When you can’t “just calm down,” you start believing you’re failing—at healing, at witchcraft, at life. You’re not. The world is just bad at teaching you how to regulate in ways that fit your brain.

🔮 Witchy Regulation Tools That Actually Help

  • Sigil Doodling: Repetition plus magic = calm hands, focused mind. Sketch the same symbol over and over. Trace a rune in the air. Let the movement anchor you.
  • Fire Bowl Rants: Write the chaos down. Don’t edit. Don’t pretty it up. Then burn it safely. Let the flames scream with you.
  • Talisman Touchstones: Charge objects with grounding energy. A stone, a key, a bead—something you can grip when the storm hits.
  • Hexable Playlists: Music that meets you where you are—rage, grief, hope. Build playlists for your moods and let them hold space for the chaos.
  • Candle Gazing: When your thoughts race too fast to catch, let the flame’s flicker give you something steady to focus on.
  • Mirror Magic: Speak the storm aloud. Watch yourself as you do. Let the mirror witness it, and make that part of your ritual.

🕯 Build Your Witchy Regulation Kit

  • A journal where you can scribble, scrawl, or rage-write
  • A small pouch with enchanted fidget charms or stones
  • Mood-matching playlists for when you need to feel seen, not silenced
  • A permission slip—literal or symbolic—that says you don’t have to be tidy to be magical

🖤 Final Hex of Wisdom

You’re not broken because you can’t force yourself calm. You’re not a bad witch because serenity isn’t always your path.
Your emotions are sacred. Your magic is valid in the storm as much as in the stillness.
Regulation isn’t about control. It’s about alchemy—turning chaos into power.

No deep breaths required.

12 Steps For Fostering Your Creativity: Weekend Workshop 1

Image
SARK isn't exactly a Muse, but she puts mine to shame. When I was a teenager, I found this poster by SARK in a Toronto mall and immediately fell in love.  I took it home, gave it a place of honor on my bedroom wall, and made it a point to read it from start to finish at least once a day. Some of the best advice I've ever received for fostering my personal creativity came from "How to be an Artist", and to this day, the words remain with me, even though the poster has long since disappeared. If I could, I would take every single bit of advice in this poster and turn it into one of the 12 Steps For Fostering Your Creativity this weekend. However, rest assured that you don't need to stop at the 12 steps listed here today.  Find your own copy of this poster, frame it up, and hang it in your writing space - and don't be afraid to open yourself up to being the creative creature that you are. Are we ready, then?  Grab a notebook and a pen or open up a fr...

Tommyknockers - What every writer wishes they had

Insomnia. It creeps up on you and doesn't let you go.  One minute you're so tired that you can't keep your eyes open, and the next minute your brain is on overdrive and you're still so tired that you can't keep your eyes open.  So you lay there and let your brain run rampant.  In my case, last night, it was on full overdrive.  I did everything.  I rolled over.  I put a pillow over my head.  I got up and went to the bathroom.  I got a glass of water.  I even grabbed my phone and tweeted to whoever was awake and listening for insomnia to go away and tell my brain to shut up on the way out. And then, it came to me... Tommyknockers. Not the movie - the book. Have you ever read it?  "Late last night and the night before, Tommyknockers, Tommyknockers, Knocking at the door..." I'm no genius, but this book holds the solution. Stephen King, when he wrote "Tommyknockers", was expressing an idea that writers all over the w...

Writing a novel in 30 days (otherwise known as NaNoWriMo Madness)

For those of you in the know, the title of this post speaks for itself, and you are either laughing at me or nodding your head in sympathy because you are planning on spending the month of November much the same way I will be -- glued to your computer, gulping down coffee, and neglecting your family and friends until you have completed your goal of writing a fifty-thousand word novel. For those of you who are new to NaNoWriMo Madness , don't let that first paragraph scare you away.  I didn't mean it.  Okay, so I did, but it's not as bad as it sounds.  Really, its a lot of fun, and your friends and family will be so proud of you when it's over that they won't hold a grudge about you neglecting them for thirty days straight.  (In theory, anyway.) So, what exactly is this NaNoWriMo Madness of which I speak?  Simply put, it is that festive event that takes place every year during the month of November where aspiring novelists test their resolve (and their san...
