Another way back to my ‘self’ is to let my old sense of self go. Gently. My new self-identify is a more mature version who embraces my life experience. She is happy to share without building a sense of obligation and expectation. I like this part of myself.

I have been looking for ways to find my way back. Back to what? Back to participating in society in ways that don't make my nervous system want to turn itself inside out. Ín gentle ways. In ways that work with my strengths and don't erode my confidence. I continue as a carer in the meantime.

More formal shift in Australia with the appointments of business executives into mgmt positions in Universities. Including head of school and all the way up to VC.

I'm retraining in end-of-life death care because I’ve lost most of my family of origin within the last 15yrs. It's an important part of life to not shy away from. Everyone will face death sometime, so why not learn to dance with death instead of avoiding it? Find joy and beauty in the everyday too.

The intersectionality of my lived experience over time is getting me through a challenging phase of life, along with therapy. So much therapy. I spend alot on therapy because my choice of religious expression and craft won't 'fix' this on its own. And it's not supposed to.

I try not to let the c-PTSD and MH stuff get in the way, but it frequently does because the shadow of extreme childhood trauma comes back to haunt you when you’re trying to raise your own kids. It's triggering. Most of what I grew up with would make your toes curl.

I’m polyamorous with an interesting dynamic bordering on RA living a pretty unconventional lifestyle if you scratch beneath the surface and I trust you enough to tell you about how that works. It's not just about sexual orientation and gender, but about love and relationships.

I'm an occultist and I practice magick and witchcraft and I've used those skills from a young age to change my life. I’ve had a 20yr corporate career and I have a post-graduate education behind me. One day when spoons, luck, and finances allow, I’ll tackle that PhD.

I am writing a workhop talk about 'modern witchcraft today' and I'm actually not focusing on the definitions of 'modern' anything anchored or defined in the past >70yrs ago....what a concept! Thoroughly enjoying pulling my thoughts together so far.

I see people over there 'complaining' that the witchcraft and pagan community isn't what it used to be, no, it's just thriving elsewhere. Go talk to different demographics *where they are* and see what happens....

Sionnan (she/her) @sionnan.bsky.social · 21/05/2026
I hear you. I am prioritising other platforms over Meta right now for witchy pagan community things, and I tell you, I am reaching younger and more diverse people more easily. It's an awesome thing to see when people turn up in person and it's a completely fresh demongraphic. I am still on FB and...

Plot twist! It seems magick is actually real when you start working it, sooooo we have more to say. Workshops, rituals and more in the works for the Western Sydney Witchcraft community. Oh, and we have some questions for you too ;-)

Western Sydney Witchcraft: What Pagan Fringe Has Planned for 2026
This is a little bit of a remix of an email newsletter I sent out earlier in the week, and a social media update I made, however like tossing up a pizza dough to spin it to impossibly thin proportions to slap it back down, I'm trying to top it off with different ingredients for something tastier for a longer form blog post.

Academic besties, I'm begging you to stop giving your students snippets from books about Wicca published in the eighties and acting like it's contemporary and representative. I made you a present (and it's cheap)! Happy Halloween season, religious studies! bookshop.org/p/books/witc...

moreso, teach them how to lie effectively and with flair if necessary (and even when it's not when stakes are low). It's not just valuable, in these times and at all times, it's a *survival* skill.

Australian here. It’s hideously expensive to travel overseas, cost of living is also high, and somehow we fit it in as we are fortunate & privileged to be able to do it. Personally we don’t travel often due to caring responsibilities at home.

And when folks start to charge beyond covering costs and shifting into a profit model, it transforms relationships to a service provider/customer dynamic. And that alters things. In my opinion it's not a healthy dynamic in Australian Witchcraft spaces. #witchsky #australianwitchsky

THIS, a million times this. And you can choose to lead by example by providing a good and solid example of *how* to handle conflict well if you know how or if you've learned over time. You don't always have to look to others for that leadership if you can stand up yourself.

Salient info: British citizen Becky Burke was stopped at the Canadian border while on a backpacking trip. Being held by ICE in Tacoma WA. Two unrelated German tourists—Jessica Brösche & Lucas Sielaff—being held in San Diego for over a month. By being held, I mean in ICE detention, aka jail.

I think it’d be valuable if you have the spoons for it. I don’t begrudge folks charging for their time (whatever they do with it) but if you’re directly harming what you say you value (the environment) then it’s all a bit bullshit, isn’t it?

Such a powerful message. I’m sick of being segmented and marketed to. And I’m sick of folks pretending to ‘serve community’ by re-selling sweat shop produced junk from Temu.

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.
