Hunter, that photo is INSANE! Wow! 😍 What a moment that must have been to witness. I'm with you on that summer energy - I've been feeling a similar sort of creative buzz and a sort of restlessness? And YES to the witchy vibes - I just got a new set of Oracle cards called Literary Witches and I'm completely obsessed already. So good and the artwork is amazing! ✨ Lovely post!
Always a lovely read! That photo is so so incredible. We had a huge storm when we were in France that literally shook the whole house! It was insane... I felt totally stirred up the next day... the energy really impacts me! A simple walk round the lake near my home this morning, with the baby snuggled asleep on my chest, is probably my favourite magical and mundane moment this week. I will desperately miss those sling walks when she gets too big so I’m soaking them up! Xx
Oh gosh, I bet that was scary! We had a tornado go by our house last year and it was the freakiest thing seeing everything shake. Glad you're all okay!
Aww what a beautiful moment. I miss Maverick letting me hold her on my chest. You will absolutely miss those magical sling walks, enjoy them for me!
You described the feeling of busyness through the summer and the yearning for autumn and slow living perfectly. I have been feeling the same this summer. I love the summer but feeling the need to get cosy again and start hibernating. I think it’s because the garden takes up more of my time so I don’t get to paint so much. I am looking forward to coming back inside to my studio, drinking tea and painting. Lovely post 🙏💜
So glad you can relate! Autumn has to be coming soon(ish), right? I need it in my life!
Ahh that makes sense about the garden. Thankfully it's all just seasons, isn't it? And the beauty is that they change. Just wishing this one would change a bit quicker, haha!
Brilliant post and captures how a lot of us are feeling during these summer months perfectly! Here in the UK, the summer weather feels so fleeting that when it’s sunny and hot there is a feeling that you “have to busy” so as not to waste the good weather...you have to go on that day trip, or have friends around for that BBQ, or visit that garden or this other attraction. You’re right than it can feel crazy and not at all how I like to live. I must admit that, whilst I adore the nice weather, the last few mornings here have felt a lot cooler and it’s making me yearn for the autumn months. So my favourite mundane activity this week has been taking my morning cuppa and my book outside to our gazebo and listening to the rain. It’s felt quite magical xx
Ah yes, that makes sense! You kind of force yourself to be out just because of the weather. I was actually talking about this with my husband the other day because it had rained for a few days and when it was sunny again I was like, dang, now I feel guilty not being outside. It was kind of nice to just be able to huddle up for a little while.
Your morning routine sounds so magical these days, I love a morning outside reading and listening to the rain. So beautiful!
Ohhh your thoughts on summer’s outward energy and the longing for autumn matched perfectly with what I felt and wrote about recently! Though in my case I fell into the FOMO trap for a bit, thinking I was falling ~behind~ the summer’s frenzy 🤪
The topic of Priestesses is exciting! If you are looking to learn from other Priestesses too, I can wholeheartedly recommend Goddess Rising Mystery School by Achintya Devi.
I’m now in a 9-day devotional to Mary Magdalene held by Achintya and it’s pure magic and reclamation ✨
Oh I'll have to go read what you wrote! I definitely fall into the FOMO trap in summer too. It's hard not to! But is also fun to be with everyone a bit more. Now I'm just feeling the burn out.
Ooh I will absolutely look up that Mystery School! Thank you so much for sharing!!
The devotional sounds beautiful, I definitely would love to be apart of something like that.
Very much relate about the season. I get drained by being so outwardly focused even while enjoying the activities. I always take a sign of relief when fall comes around.
Love that lightning shot! Lightning is a thing I miss having moved from the east coast to the west coast of the USA. But flying from Chicago to Seattle Monday night we passed by a storm and my daughter pointed out the flashes of lightning in the clouds below. It was magic.
I do too! I always feel out of my body in the summer, and once fall hits I melt back into it.
Ooh I bet seeing lightning on the plane was SO cool! When I spent a few summers in England the one big thing I missed was the wild summer storms in Florida. I love those afternoons, there's definitely something magical about them.
Strangely enough I have actually developed a structured routine this Summer and it’s the best I’ve ever felt! I’m actually worried about Autumn/Winter coming as I don’t know if I’ll hop out of bed as easily. I think I am so set as an introvert that Summer doesn’t really end up being any more busy than Winter! 😂 In fact, Winters probably busier due to Yule and Christmas. 🎄
Lovely, though provoking post, Hunter. Thank you. 🖤
Oooh I love that for you! I definitely had every intention of getting more structured and then I couldn't get it together (I always blame it on the travel and not my lack of morning energy haha).
I love that you're so committed to your introvert energy and routine, that's beautiful!! Hope it continues for you as the seasons change!

It was wild! And that was one of the tamer ones-- haha! There's nothing quite like a florida summer storm.
Oooh literary witches sounds amazing, I might have to get those too! Thanks for sharing!!

Wow that must have been wild as well!! I really will miss them... I’m savouring them at the moment! Xxx

What a photo! 📸
It's insane, isn't it?! I stood there for far too long to get the shot, too. Haha
Ahh it’s always the shot after you nearly walk away isn’t it? Think I learnt that from the insta retreat?! ✨✨✨
Yes, always!! Ooh I do think I remember her saying that, too!
