Officially registered my master thesis! I'm so tired and broken, but happy. I want to thank my #witch, the demon with the apple-porridge recipe, and everything that laughs about me in the middle of the night! Soon I'll be a real historian of science. #writing #blogging #history

Enjoy with me my witching autumn desk, while I gather my strength for writing. #writing #blogging #witch

A desk with cups and masket full of stationary, aper and real plants in bottles, a laptop with stickers on it, and little orange ferry lights.

"Can you tell me more about these secret blood draining places that they have in the basement? I'm very interested in those!" Hanging out with Historians never gets boring! This was about the building of early modern anatomical theaters btw. #writing #blogging #witch #history

When visiting a friend in Luxembourg for her birthday, of course I find a castle ruin to hike 25km to. What a witching moment! Taken at château d'Esch sur-Sûre. #writing #blogging #witch #history

Ever since the pandemic began in 2020, I have not been able to get a grip on my circle of friends. One coffee a year, sometimes a Voicemail, and of course always short written messages about emotional exhaustion ... #writing #blogging #witch mistresswitchwrites.com/2026/09/21/w...

“When for health reasons we stop being ourselves, what is left then? ”, I complain to my witch just when the cold and dark season is ready to arrive. I am usually decorating a cake when the message…

A writer's worst nightmare just happened to me. I received an E-Mail that my short story was accepted, but then 2 minutes later was notified that it was a mistake. I had narrowly not made it. Oh, how often I feared this to happen with my actually accepted work. #writing #blogging #witch

An elvenring breaking around my finger can't be a good sign, right? My #witch is giggling. #writing #blogging

A woman is photographing her hand with three rings each on one finger. The smallest one is shaped like an elven crown and broke. The background is her outfit. A green dress with golden shows and an orange scarf.

When I write a short story for a contest, I tell myself to not be sad when it gets rejected, because now I have more material. ... here we go. I have a wonderful historical horror story about demonic obsession and late medieval treatment of infectious diseases to sell! #writing #blogging #witch

What a witching view! Taken on a walk through the fields that inspired my witching novel. #writing #blogging #witch

A writer contacted me through my blog for advice on a story surrounding witches. I got really excited! Sadly, he did not read one of my posts. None of his questions were historical, but merely surrounding Wicca practices and crystals. He stopped responding. Whoops. #writing #blogging #witch

I think that's out of question. Putting intimacy in the title however emphasized it in a way that had me wonder. Over the years, I read a lot of questionable, presentists over-interpretations : D but this reads a lot more promising (after the first third).

Not exactly a witching read, but it had me wonder how intimate history can be?! Reading this for my thesis and enjoying it! #writing #blogging #witch #history

A woman with red, long hair and glasses wearing a blue dress is sitting at a train station. She takes a selfie while holding the book "An intimate history of evolution-the story of the Huxley Family" by Alison Bashford. The cover shows a man in a suit having a coffee with a female gorilla.
