The first frost on a parked car. The hum of the city under a full moon. The faint green of moss reclaiming a wall. Even in the city, the cycles never stop. For many pagans and witches, life is not a straight line. It moves in circles — in rhythms, in repetitions, in cycles that echo the natural world. Observing these cycles isn’t about following rules or rigid practice; it’s about listening, noticing, and learning to move in harmony with life itself. In this article, I will n

With All Hallows’ Day — also known as All Saints’ Day — just behind us, an interesting thought came to mind. There’s something about this time of year, the thinning veil between worlds during Samhain (Halloween or All Hallows’ Eve), that draws attention to the interplay between the old and the new, the pagan and the Christian. It’s a liminal space — a moment to reflect on cycles, ancestors, and the sacred mysteries that live in both shadow and light. It made me think: many pe

When the fog rolls over the streets and the days grow quieter, a different kind of time begins — not one of loud celebrations, but of honest reflection.November is a threshold month.Between the golden glow of autumn and the deep stillness of winter, it invites us to turn inward.It ’s the time when nature dies in order to renew itself.And perhaps, we too are allowed to release what no longer belongs to us. Shadow work isn’t a dark or gloomy concept. It’s an act of self-care —

A Nature-Based Spiritual Perspective on Shadow Work Candles flicker in the window, somewhere the scent of pumpkin and damp earth drifts through the air. The world grows quieter – yet at the same time, some people feel uneasy. This season of darkness and introspection often reminds us of what we would rather not feel: our mortality, fear, ourselves, and the parts of our being we usually avoid. And that is exactly what the dark half of the year is for. Samhain – Halloween, All

There’s something sacred about this time of year ( okay, granted, I do say that about every season, but autumn to be as a person with SPS (Sensory Processing Sensitivity) autumn really is special to me) . As autumn deepens and the veil between worlds thins, nature invites us to slow down, to turn inward, to reflect. Samhain — the ancient festival marking the transition into the dark half of the year — reminds us of cycles, endings, and the quiet wisdom that comes with lettin

From energetic shielding to mindful detachment — how to survive open-plan offices without losing your sanity. So, I’m not just an Urban Mystic — a witch navigating deadlines, Teams meetings, and fluorescent lighting — I’m also an HSP. A highly sensitive person. Which basically means that while others are vibing with their third coffee and background chatter, I’m silently negotiating with the universe to stop the energy avalanche coming from my open-plan office. You know what

Halloween wears many masks. For some, it’s horror movies, plastic spiders, and candy in XXL bags. For us Urban Mystics, it’s Samhain  – a...

How to transmute office politics, stress, and endless meetings into something that fuels your personal power instead of draining it. You know the scene. Someone’s monologuing in a meeting about “synergies” while your soul quietly leaves your body. Another email thread spirals into chaos, and suddenly you’re questioning all your life choices — again. Corporate life can feel like a bad spell that just won’t break. But what if the magic isn’t in escaping the chaos — it’s in tran

This text was written in 2021, on an old blog. Some thoughts are timeless, others may have evolved further—but today it can blossom here in my new magical home. --> to the original article (in German) I recently found myself in one of those conflicts that you don't see coming – and then suddenly everything boils over. You may be familiar with this: first a spark, then fireworks of emotions. After the initial storm had passed and I could breathe again, I came across a term th

Some stories begin with an ending.I was about three years old when I first sensed that something could disappear without truly being gone. My great-uncle had died suddenly — my grandfather’s brother. I remember my grandfather bringing us the news. But I also remember the smell of autumn leaves, the heaviness in the adults’ voices, and the strange feeling that the world had both stopped and kept going at the same time.Maybe that was my first glimpse of the threshold — that fin

Difficult Women, Misunderstood Minds: When Being Unapologetic Is Branded “Crazy” I lost count of how many times I’ve been called “too intense.” Too opinionated in meetings, too emotional in arguments, too direct for comfort. It used to sting—until I realized “too much” is often what people say when they can’t handle your clarity. “It actually doesn’t take much to be considered a difficult woman. That’s why there are so many of us.” — Jane Goodall From the moment a woman dares

We live in a world that has turned even self-care  into another item on the to-do list. Light the candle, roll out the yoga mat, put on the face mask, relax — now . But here’s the truth: forcing yourself to relax is about as effective as commanding a cat to sit still. The moment you add pressure, the magic evaporates. That’s where the witchy way of self-care comes in. Witchcraft has never been about rigid routines or polished perfection. It’s about tuning in, experimenting, a

Let’s get one thing straight: witches don’t worship the devil. Or at least — most of us don’t. The other day, I read a sister witch’s...
