Friends, I can hardly believe I get to say this out loud — The Little Hearthwitch is now a real book!   What began as a spark of an idea — a quiet story about home, kindness, and the magic tucked into everyday moments — has grown into a printed storybook you can hold in your hands. In her little cottage at the edge of the woods, the Little Hearthwitch tends her fire, bakes her bread, and helps her neighbors (feathered and furry alike) with warmth and care.  This story was written with children in mind, but I hope grown-ups fee...

As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, autumn invites us into a season of reflection. It is a time when the world slows down, asking us to notice the cycles of life, death, and renewal. For many, this season is also a time to remember those who walked before us — our ancestors, elders, and loved ones whose lives have shaped our own. Honoring ancestors doesn’t need to be elaborate or formal. In fact, some of the most meaningful ways to connect are through small, intentional acts woven into everyday life. Here are a few simple autumn rituals you can embrace to remember and celebrate your roots. Light a Candle of Remembrance There is something deeply comforting about the glow of a single candle in the dark. Fire has long been seen as a bridge between worlds, a way of carrying prayers and memories to those we love who are no longer with us. Choose a candle — perhaps in a color that reminds you of your family, or a simple beeswax taper — and light it with intention. As the f...

  Mabon, the autumn equinox, is the season of balance — equal light, equal dark — and the perfect time to celebrate harvest and gratitude. For families, it’s also a beautiful moment to weave a little magic into everyday life. Whether you’re a witchy parent, a homeschooler, or simply someone who loves bringing the seasons alive for your children, small rituals and creative play can make this turn of the wheel unforgettable. That’s why I’ve made these free printable Mabon coloring pages — cozy enough for the whole family, simple enough for little hands, and filled with harvest charm. Why Mabon Coloring Pages?

These pages are filled with gentle autumn magic, including: Children gathering fallen leaves A forest picnic with apples, pumpkins, and bread A tablescape with seasonal foods  A family lighting candles together at harvest time Each design is bol...

Remembering the Old Path There’s something about reaching this season of life that makes the air feel different, as if the wheel of the year is turning within me. The children are grown, the house is quieter than it once was, and the marriage that began in youthful hope has weathered both its bright days and its shadowed ones. I’ve been a wife and a mother for so long, tending, giving, making sure the hearth was never cold. But somewhere along the way, I realized I’d been hearing a whisper all these years, one that I never truly silenced. A calling. A remembering. The Quiet Arrival of Witchcraft Witchcraft didn’t arrive in my life like a bolt of lightning. It crept in gently, like ivy climbing up old stone. It was there when I lit a candle at the end of a weary day, when I pressed herbs between the pages of a book, when I noticed how my spirit rose and fell in rhythm with the seasons. For a long time, I thought it was just curiosity. Now I know it was something deeper — my blood and bo...

Raising Children in a Witch’s Household  Raising children in a witch’s household isn’t about turning them into little witches (unless that’s a path they’re drawn to someday).

Here are some gentle, magical ways to weave witchcraft and intention into everyday parenting. Teaching the Old Ways with Kids Children are natural seekers of wonder. Sharing your spiritual path can be simple and joyful: Honoring...
