Monday, June 29, 2026: 11:15 AM: I only slept for around 4 hours and 40 minutes last night, me feeling irritated with things I observed yesterday. But it’s worth mentioning here that this morning’s affirmation statement is not new, my recollection of it having definitely been handed to me courtesy of my inner witch. This happened around 4:48 AM, Just as I drifted off to sleep for the final time before daybreak.
I had written the affirmation in the previous journal entry years ago, me noting a slight modification from the original as I lost consciousness. Upon waking, I realized the changes were to my benefit, me feeling peaceful and calm, with the familiar charge in the air I associate with a kind of cosmic shift in reality.

A resident of Newtonian Gardens in New Jersey, he is a witch in the nontraditional sense: an explorer of consciousness, meditation, dreams, intuition, manifestation, and the strange territory where inner experience meets everyday reality. Accepting claims solely on the authority of a teacher, book or tradition isn’t in his DNA. His approach is experimental rather than prescriptive: he tries various techniques, observes what happens, journals, questions, and adjusts his practice accordingly. For him, witchcraft is a conscious practice of working with attention, intention, language, and intuition to explore personal transformation. He writes honestly about that ongoing experiment, sharing successes, failures, doubts, surprises, and unanswered questions here. He does not claim absolute answers as to what an experience means.
