A newly married, late-diagnosed ADHD witch in her 40s.
As I step into this new chapter, I’m embracing the messy, beautiful journey of growth, navigating marriage, unmasking my ADHD, and pushing myself far beyond my comfort zone.
After decades of quietening my inner witch, I’m finally letting her speak. There’s a lot for me to unpack and learn about my own magic and what makes me the witch I am.
Here, you’ll find everyday witchcraft, honest reflections, and the small practices I’m weaving into a softer, slower life in a world that doesn’t always make sense.
Grab a cuppa, light a candle, and join me in the magical chaos of figuring out what becoming Fergs really means.
When you first get prescribed Elvanse (Vyvanse in some countries) for ADHD, it can feel like a lifeline you’ve been waiting for your whole life. You read online stories about people getting their lives back, finally finishing tasks, and feeling “normal” for the first time. But the reality of taking Elvanse is often more complex, more personal, and sometimes, messier than you might expect.
Tonight, the Full Moon graces us with her steady, glowing presence, illuminating the July sky with silver light. In all her glory she is giving us a reminder to slow down, look up, and breathe.
For a number of years I’ve found myself going through regular cycles where I shift from contentment to discontentment within my career. Anyone who knows me laughs and reassures others that I am just going through this "I'm quitting!" phase again. I'll take a break, refocus my energy on something that interests me and get over myself... until next time.
You might not call yourself a witch. You might roll your eyes at the word “spell.” But if you’ve ever whispered a wish before blowing out birthday candles, stirred your tea while thinking of something you want to happen, or placed a crystal on your windowsill because it just feels nice there—you’re closer to everyday magic than you think.
I used to think I was just messy. A bit forgetful. Prone to starting projects and never quite finishing them, leaving half-painted walls and notebooks filled with plans I’d outgrow before the ink dried. I thought everyone felt the constant buzz in their head, the low hum of ideas and to-do lists colliding together, until I suddenly found myself stuck on the sofa in a period of executive dysfunction where I couldn't get myself into the kitchen to cook dinner.
I’ve been thinking a lot about how to start this space, and the truth is, life doesn’t always arrive in tidy, themed boxes. Right now, I’m making the most of my days off, basking in the warm afterglow of being newly married, and looking forward to our upcoming road trip to Somerset. I’m in a season of small joys—coffee in the garden, organising my office space, and moments of quiet laughter that remind me how much goodness can sit inside the everyday.
Just me, spilling the real stuff. Married life, soft living rules, big dreams, stormy days, and the chaos in between. Sometimes deep, sometimes ridiculous—always honest.
ADHD life, loud and glittery. The wins, the chaos, the “wait, what was I doing?” moments. Just me, learning to roll with it and finding my own magic in the mess.
Here I share my own ways to bring witchcraft into everyday life — tarot pulls, spells, manifestation tips, and the little rituals. Take something from stories from the history of witchcraft.
