It\u2019s funny how shifting one thing can nudge everything else around. And also give you a trip down memory lane with some practical advice for future you.<\/p>\n

Recently I had the opportunity to rearrange and reorganize our ritual room (which is also the library and the guest room). We switched out some smaller bookcases for much larger ones that had been down in my partner\u2019s studio. So all of the books had to be gone through and sorted. (Including pulling ones for donation or selling.)<\/p>\n

As we were doing that, I turned my eye to the hutch we had acquired via craigslist when we first moved here for $15. It was a hulking particle board beast and if you put too much stuff in the drawers, they got stuck. (To be fair, it looked much nicer in the picture and we really needed some furniture for that room at the time.) In the end, $5 a year for use was a pretty good deal, but it was time to upgrade. I wanted something that was more streamlined, had working drawers, and also freed up the wall behind it. I found the perfect desk\/dresser at our local estate sale place. Definitely a lot more than $15, but so worth it!<\/p>\n

The new ritual supply set-up with my hand-carved cabinet sitting upon the opened desk.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So now in addition to rearranging the books, I had an amazing space to tuck ritual supplies and the perfect place to put my hand-carved cabinet. Which in itself prompted a cleaning. In that cabinet and subsequent spaces I found many an unlabeled bag and bottle of mystery \u2013 as well as folded up napkins and tin foil also hiding mystery treasures! All of them gifts from folks over the years. Which was lovely except that I had no idea what these bags and vials contained OR who had given them to me.<\/p>\n

And so I was inspired to film a new 6 Minutes of Witchcraft (and it\u2019s been a hot minute since I\u2019ve done one of these):<\/p>\n
