What is home?
I actually did a lot of looking into this question only to discover that there really is no one answer. Home means something a little different for each of us. Some think it’s a place, while others think it’s a feeling. There are those to whom home is the land of their ancestors, and others who feel at-home wherever their loved ones might be.
Some of the people I read on Substack have publications that delve into this question at length. One of these is Beyond the Comfort Zone where—through some of the most compelling writing I’ve ever read—
takes us with her on a journey across the continent as she finds home in the most unexpected places. And then, from a completely different perspective, Susie Mawhinnie’s A Hill and I is dedicated to the hill that she calls home, and explores her life in that rooted place with beautiful words and pictures. At the beginning of this month, Samantha Corrie from wrote a lovely post, called Home, that honors the liminal place between home and not-home, and guides us to enquire what home means for ourselves.What I think it comes down to, for me, is that home is an idea. We know it when we’re experiencing it and when we long for it. When we’re in it, home provides us with safety, security, comfort, belonging, rootedness, connection, and the freedom to be ourselves. When we’re at-home, we are well-resourced and prepared. Home is often where we can return to be made whole again. It is where we take refuge. Whether it is an actual, physical place or something more ephemeral, home is where we are restored.
This month, I want to explore bringing that idea of home into our relationship with magic, and also bringing magic into our relationship with home. When our home becomes our sacred space, magic becomes part of our everyday experience, rather than something we only tend on holidays or other celebrations.
Join me this month as we turn our homes into sanctuaries of Magic. This month’s downloadable pack includes:
Week one—an exploration of what home means to us, and a ritual to connect Magic to our homes.
Week two—an intro to house spirits, as well as a ritual to protect and bless our homes.
Week three—a guide to creating a primary sacred space, and exercises for creating magic in every room of the house.
Week four—a look at different types of altars including seasonal, ancestor and prosperity altars.
And, of course, journal prompts, a card spread, a winter solstice ritual and much more!
As always, if you have any questions or comments, please leave them below or send me an email. I can’t wait to explore Home and Magic with you! 🤗✨
(In case you’ve missed them, you can find the first three downloadable packs here.)
Well done Jenna, this sounds amazing!
What a gorgeous and timely read for me, personally, Jenna, as I have returned 'home' in my (always at home) home on wheels, holding questions about home as belonging, as I settle into the familiar with a sense of wonder. What a treat on the day that I set out to catch up from missing out of much of November here on Substack that this post is the first that I read! Thank you for including Beyond the Comfort Zone. 🙏
