Going down in flames is not as much fun as it may seem to a heart aching in Dystopia.
Typing these words, my thoughts return to the nice man wearing a silver west over a fine shirt while explaining the model of a candle light and pointing out the 1300°C it could reach, and oh! I was on fire back then!
But since I have been writing so much about all these precious, magical and unique things which have been going down in flames, I will now try to write a short and simple guide about how to avoid all of this.
This is a short guide for not losing heart and soul in flames and ashes!
Can‘t be that difficult, right?
So, let‘s get started. Once again, I am basing all of this on my extensive and not at all soul-eating and depressing research about the being of witches and why they have to burn (thanks Heinrich!).
- Don‘t daydream!
Yes, excessive daydreams are dangerous as hell! They lure your thoughts away from what you‘re actually doing right in that moment, making it easier to discover something not being alright, or even something else to pursuit. This makes it safer not to ever dream at all, because dreams matter far too much in witching!
- Don‘t wish for things
When was the last time a fairy appeared in front of you, ready to grant you a wish? Very long ago, probably, if ever. That is because wishes are just another way to escape reality and turn things upside down. Wishes are just an innocent from of daydreams, and thus are the safest to be avoided.
- Stop needing things
A Vanilla Latte in the morning? A midnight snack? Calling a friend after hours? Watching just another episode? Do you really need any of these things? Well, if you listen to your whiny heart, it will probably try to convince you so, but that is just a trap. You better realize that actually you do not ever need any of these things at all.
- Don‘t have a voice too high
…and resist the temptation to sing out loud. Because witches have always been known too have the highest and sweetest voices of all, and to use them to get their wicked ways. Don‘t sound like them, and don‘t sing or hum any sweet melody ever crossing your mind.
That sounds tough to accomplish? Oh well. Just keep things simple.
Enjoy your life through not even expecting anything really good to ever happen. Work hard on being the pretty but not too beautiful asset. Nice to look at, but actually quite redundant.
If you don‘t want to go down in flames, that‘s all it takes!
My witching autumn desk
This was my longest quiet. My witch took a few weeks off. I have a lot of things to say, dark and urgent things! But my health made me pause everything. The first time in my life I’m saying that. I’ll be back in the next few days! Until then, enjoy the witching mood at…
Why do we stop doing things?
“When for health reasons we stop being ourselves, what is left then? ”, I complain to my witch just when the cold and dark season is ready to arrive. I am usually decorating a cake when the message I am dreading arrives. The pastry bag in hand, I read one cancellation after another. Of course,…
When we fall …
Who’ll be thereWhen we fall?Who will comeTo catch us all?Who’ll be thereIn the end? Late at nightI hear his voiceAnd I know thatHe waved her goodbyeThrough the noiseOf a world turning away. Laughter fromA window aboveBlurry lightsAnd I know thatShe gave upon loveRight there. And I wonderWho’ll be thereWhen we fall?Who will comeTo catch us…
