You Are The Spell

I was supposed to be going to Mexico today.Instead, Jim and I are going to North Carolina.This week brought an unexpected pivot right in the middle of my Great Witch Lock In, and it made me ask a question I wasn’t expecting:What happens to your big desire when life suddenly says, “Not right now”?I’m still manifesting my new smile. I still don’t know how I’m going to pay for it. But with Jim’s mom in fragile health, Mexico had to move—and I started worrying about what that delay might do to my momentum, my hope, and even my magick.In this video, I’m talking about disappointment, guilt, spiritual bypassing, and why I don’t believe every hard thing needs a silver lining.I’m also figuring out what I’m calling minimum viable devotion: the smallest meaningful practice I can realistically return to when life needs my attention somewhere else.And because “minimum viable” apparently does NOT mean aesthetically minimal around here, I made myself a tiny, ridiculously sparkly portable altar. 😂✨The plan changed.The devotion didn’t.If something you deeply want has had to move to the side because life is asking something else of you right now, this one is especially for you.✨ Give It Three Months is my three-month experiment in focused magick, creativity, and finding out what happens when we give something a season instead of demanding an immediate result.CHAPTERS00:00 The Plan Changed00:47 Give It Three Months: My New Smile Experiment01:24 When Family Comes First02:17 The Right Decision Can Still Disappoint You02:36 “Everything Happens for a Reason”… Really?03:18 What If I Lose Momentum?04:01 Maybe Momentum Is Continuity04:48 Minimum Viable Devotion05:21 The 2014 Ritual That Changed My Love Life06:10 My 2018 True Lies Came True06:45 I Was Making the Ritual Too Complicated07:28 “I Love My Smile” Is Already a True Lie08:04 Minimum Viable Altar, Maximum Viable Sparkle09:14 Why the Whimsy Matters10:40 Return to Your Burning Desire11:31 You’re Still Allowed to Want What You Want12:16 Taking the Experiment Into Real Life12:55 The Plan Changed.

What if you found an old journal and realized you had written parts of your current life before you were actually living it?In 2018, I filled a little sparkly Dollar Store notebook with stories about the future I wanted: living and making music with Jim, leaving temp work behind, creating Santa’s Reindeer Ranch, and building a creative life on my own terms.Eight years later, some of those stories look remarkably familiar.Not everything happened. Some things happened sideways. And sometimes the path was wrong, but the scene was weirdly right.So for the next part of my Great Witch Lock In, I’m returning to scripting and narrative magick through Anna Bellissima’s True Lies hypersigil practice.This time, I’m writing about my burning desire: a beautiful new smile that I love.For at least 21 days, I’ll be using narrative magick as my Keystone Ritual, writing from the reality where that smile already exists and seeing what happens.Maybe scripting belongs in your magickal toolbox too.✨ Give It Three Months is my three-month experiment in focused magick, creativity, and finding out what happens when we give something a season instead of demanding an immediate result.CHAPTERS00:00 I wrote this life before I lived it00:06 My One-Month Check-In for the Great Witch Lock In01:07 What Is a Hypersigil?02:08 My sparkly 2018 scripting journal03:22 The creative life I wrote into being03:58 The path was wrong, but the scene was right04:55 The day I wrote myself out of temping06:23 I wrote about our musical before we finished it07:23 Does scripting actually work?08:37 Writing into the Astral Plane09:28 My 21 day True Lies experiment11:25 Try writing from the other sideBecause you are magick! ✨## JOIN THE GREAT WITCH LOCK IN✨ *Free Great Witch Lock In*Start creating your own season of focused magick:https://redsoulflower.com/lock🌙 *Great Witch Lock In VIP*Go deeper with Future You work, monthly rituals, meditations, and more:https://redsoulflower.com/vip#Scripting #NarrativeMagick #Manifestation #Hypersigil #Witchcraft

What happens when Cardi B becomes your Tooth Fairy? 😂In this episode of *Give It Three Months*, I’m breaking down how I created a personal *pop culture magick* working around my new smile, using Cardi B, candle magick, archetypes, narrative magick, music, sigils, and my own “soft chaos magick” approach.This isn’t about copying my spell. It’s about learning how to notice the people, characters, songs, stories, and symbols that already have *charge* for YOU, and using those personal associations to create magick that actually feels like yours.I’ll share why Cardi B became my Tooth Fairy, how “Bodak Yellow” fits into the working, why I chose a green candle, how my old Future You and archetype work connects to pop culture magick, and why I think boredom can sometimes mean a spell is fully charged and ready to be released.Most importantly, I want you to leave this video thinking:*“Ohhh. I know what I want to create, and I know who I want to work with.”*✨ Watch the full **Give It Three Months** playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK8OD1QLgMWQ## CHAPTERS00:00 Cardi B is my Tooth Fairy 04:56 What does “charge” mean? 05:55 Why pop culture can be magickal material 09:09 My Oprah experiment 10:15 How to choose your own pop culture icon to work with 11:34 Building the Cardi B Tooth Fairy candle 12:44 The Tooth Fairy candle spell 15:32 The Keystone Ritual that manifested love 18:54 What I want YOU to take from all of this ## JOIN THE GREAT WITCH LOCK IN✨ *Free Great Witch Lock In*Start creating your own season of focused magick:https://redsoulflower.com/lock🌙 *Great Witch Lock In VIP*Go deeper with Future You work, monthly rituals, meditations, and more:https://redsoulflower.com/vipYour magick.

What happens when you lose teeth as a kid? Everybody celebrates. You’re growing! You’re changing! The Tooth Fairy is coming!But lose teeth as a grown woman and suddenly there’s shame, embarrassment, a treatment plan...and a whole lot of money involved.After spending nine months dreading the moment someone would ask about my missing teeth, the person who finally did was my little grandniece. And instead of making me feel embarrassed, she immediately started bonding with me over losing teeth. Except there was one very important difference:SHE was getting paid. 😂So naturally, I started investigating the Tooth Fairy.In this episode of Give It Three Months, we’re talking about adult tooth loss, the strange economics of dentistry, why childhood gets rituals for becoming, Tooth Fairy folklore, egregores, and why I have officially decided that the Tooth Fairy owes me money.And somehow Cardi B got involved.Because if anybody understands “got a bag and fixed my teeth,” she is clearly qualified for the position. 🦷🧚🏾‍♀️✨ Underneath all the foolishness, though, there’s something I keep coming back to:I’m not going into hiding while I’m becoming.I’m 58. I’m missing teeth. I hate my dentures. I’m figuring out what comes next.And I’m still becoming. Next Yap: I’ll show you how I made my Cardi B Tooth Fairy candle, where this ridiculous idea came from, and how I turned it into an actual piece of magick. ✨ GIVE IT THREE MONTHS / THE GREAT WITCH LOCK-INWant to give something that matters to you one season of focused attention?🍂 Join the FREE Great Witch Lock-In:redsoulflower.com/lock🌑 Go deeper with GWLI VIP + Future You New Moon rituals:redsoulflower.com/vipYour magick.

What if balance doesn’t mean giving everything equal time, energy, and attention?I’ve been thinking about that a lot during my Great Witch Lock-In—especially because the thing I originally planned to focus on this season has changed.I started this Lock-In wanting to learn how to draw faces. I still do. But when I looked honestly at what was happening in my actual life, I realized that my dental journey and getting my new smile needed to become the main quest.Drawing didn’t stop mattering. It became a Sacred Side Quest.And maybe that’s part of balance, too: not pretending everything has equal urgency, but deciding what needs to be front and center for this season—and what can stay alive in a smaller, gentler way. With the Libra New Moon approaching, I’m also preparing for our Balance Reset Future You ritual—a guided meditation where we connect with a future version of ourselves who has already made some of the choices we’re wrestling with now.Whether you join us for the ritual or not, here’s the question I’m sitting with:✨ What deserves more of you in this season?✨ And what could become a Sacred Side Quest?Because maybe balance isn’t something we achieve once and for all.Maybe we notice.We adjust.We live a little.Something changes.And we adjust again. And apparently, somewhere in all of this...the Tooth Fairy has entered my Great Witch Lock-In. 🦷🧚🏾‍♀️I have questions for that woman.We’ll talk about that next time. 😂 CHAPTERS00:00 I Think I’ve Been Doing Balance Wrong01:21 Balance Isn’t a Pie Chart02:10 When My Original Lock-In Plan Changed03:02 Main Quest vs. Sacred Side Quest04:17 Giving What Matters More Room05:13 The Energy We Forget to Count06:35 Libra, Balance & a Better Question08:08 What Is a Future You Ritual?10:25 The Balance Reset11:58 What Deserves More of You This Season?12:41 Sometimes the Season Changes the Plan13:03 The Tooth Fairy Enters the Chat 🦷✨ JOIN THE GREAT WITCH LOCK-IN🍂 Join the FREE Great Witch Lock-In + get the Quick Start Guide:https://redsoulflower.com/lock🌙 Join the VIP Tier — live Future You rituals, replays, resources + the Notion Hub:https://redsoulflower.com/vip

What could change if you gave something that matters three months of real attention?Not three months to reinvent your entire life. Not three months to produce some perfect before-and-after transformation. Just one season to focus, take the next step, gather information, adjust when necessary—and keep coming back.This is Episode 1 of Give It Three Months, a new series about what happens when we stay in relationship with something that matters long enough to see where it takes us.The idea grew out of The Great Witch Lock In, my seasonal practice of choosing what deserves more of my time, energy and attention instead of waiting until January to start changing my life.In this episode, I’m talking about:✨ Why three months can change your trajectory without completing the transformation✨ Why baby steps create momentum—and spaciousness makes it sustainable✨ Why changing your mind isn’t failure; it’s information✨ Why consistency means returning, not never stopping✨ How the Phoenix Protocol helps you come back after Life Happened™✨ Why this year’s Lock In has become less about achievement and more about devotion✨ Why my own new-smile journey is getting more of my attention this season✨ And the question I’m already wrestling with next: Have I been doing balance wrong?So here’s the question:What deserves three months of your attention?Not because you have to finish it.Because three months from now, your life might be headed somewhere it wasn’t headed before.✨ JOIN THE GREAT WITCH LOCK-INThe Great Witch Lock-In is an invitation to give something that matters to you a season of your devotion.Baby steps create momentum.
