A Letter From Your Editor | November 2019

It’s a wild feeling to realize just how special you are and what that actually means for your life’s work. You are limitless when you step into your own power and though you have boundaries. You are still someone who has figured out the key to their own success. That’s it though, knowing that your key won’t fit anyone else’s lock nor will it open any door outside of what’s meant for YOU. In order to get to that point though, you have to figure out what you want to align with, what you are aligning with and what your boundaries are. Those three things can (and will) guide you to and through your life’s journey.

Recognize that The Divine is you, everything you do (especially the things that bring fulfillment into your realm) is because of The Divine. Blessed one, and you are most certainly blessed because you’re still living your path. Whether you’re just figuring it out, are excelling, or you’re starting over for the 10th time… You are exactly where you are meant to be. In this space right now, I want you to ask yourself if you’ve really been holding you in light. Have you’ve been letting discomfort lead you or praying from a place of frustration or lack? If yes, then I need you to HEAR ME when I say this, okay? YOU ARE ALREADY ABUNDANT. The Universe shows up for those who know how to (or at least are ready to) use their blessings because they know that that’s what they’re meant to have. You are a DIVINE being created in the image of The Divine itself, so how are you going to ignore the fact that you were created to manifest?

Trust your process and trust that your guides and angels are listening to you and working on your behalf. You just have to do your part of that relationship and that’s showing up for them too. You can not work with any form of energy, whether living or ethereal unless you have formed a trusted relationship with it. It’s simple really, would you have the friends that you do if you never picked up the phone? Hung out with them? Made an effort to be in their lives? No, you wouldn’t and that’s the exact thing that people always fuck up when they get into this spiritual life.

For me, I talk with my ancestors and angels EVERY single day, multiple times a day if we’re being real. I have full blown conversations with them and sometimes they talk back and sometimes they quietly lead me to where it is that I need to be. Get to know your spirits folks! Get to know the entities that take care of you in the spirit realm. Know their names, stories, and communication style! I know that seems impossible to some and you’re probably thinking “what the hell is she talking about, how can I speak to what I can’t see?”. When my Grandfather passed away in June 2019, a single bumble landed on my knee when I heard the news. After that whenever I thought of him a bumble bee would show up and buzz around my head. Now, he shows up in my dreams with open arms and hugs, which is so beautiful and amazing. He constantly brings me messages to tell my family and often shows up when I least expect it too. Like how my new car tag is an angel number AND has his initials on it. Wild right?

Start writing down when you see spirit numbers (numerology), when you have dreams that involve your ancestors make notes! They are helping you, help yourself and let’s be real we all need some guidance. Treat yourself with care and your magick will flow freely! You are the light, you are the dark and all that is in between. When you align yourself with who you REALLY are, The Universe will show up and put people in your life who match that energy.

You are deserving of worthy people who love you within your boundaries, You need to love you within your boundaries.

Blessed be.

A Letter From Your Editor | October 2019

Over the last few months I have struggled to find the words to explain my absence. Until I realized I actually don’t need to explain anything and can just get back to work. I took time, a lot of time, more time than I wanted to give myself tbh. During these moments I found myself questioning every little detail about my life and my purpose. I know I preach a lot about self acceptance and working hard to achieve your dreams. Which in retrospect is great, but let’s be real you can’t always be on 100 like that. So I let myself not be, I let Magickgal sit and wait for me while still keeping her financially afloat. So many things have happened over the last six months and I have changed in many ways because of it.

On a complete transparent note, if you choose to read further into this please know that this isn’t an explanation, but more of a way for me to acknowledge my life now. I’m not sure when I decided I wanted to be a writer, I think I’ve always been like this. I spent many days writing in journals and notebooks when I was young. Creating lives of pretend people and sometimes my own life that I felt like I deserved at that time. Throughout my twenties I’ve had an interesting (at best) relationship with my divine craft and it’s only getting deeper. With that being said, I really had to sit with Magickgal for awhile and I mean a long while. She’s an extension of myself and of my love of community and for that I knew I had to really hash out the fine details.

I went into business mode when getting to the fine details of this space that I have created in this particular universe. Magickgal is a space for all, but specifically for womxn / non binary magick folks. People who have the “unconventional” ways of living, people who use their energy to bring wellness and truth into collective human spaces. Magickgal is an online co-working space, a place where folks can advertise their business, sell their products, book clients and create. It’s not just about me or what we previously imagined this road would look like. Magickgal is the center of exposing oneself with love and intention in mind. The place where mindfulness is welcomed and shedding of layers is required.

As we move forward into the last few months of this decade, I want to shed all things that no longer align with my current self. That includes outdated ideals that don’t align with what my journey is now. When it comes to manifesting and alchemy, the key to it is knowing what is yours and what isn’t. Trusting that The Divine has planted you perfectly where you are now, so that you may grow and take that growth when it is time to move on. Focus your power on your gifts and don’t settle for anything that doesn’t aid in the showcasing and betterment of those gifts.

What’s so great about growth and acceptance is that we constantly go through cycles that may seem repetitive, but are actually us aligning with our highest good. Now don’t get me wrong, some karmic cycles need to end and THAT is always okay. Generational trauma, bad dating patterns, being broke, etc… all of these things can be healed, as long as one is ready to heal it. That’s what we’re doing here, we are healing through sharing our stories, through community work and most importantly through being vulnerable.

Keep yourself in the light and when you find yourself in a dark space, hold it in the light too. You are protected, remember that when you feel as if you’re lost. Your guides want you to feel everything that happens, simply because through feelings we understand our needs.

Trust in you, trust in spirit and trust in your community.

Blessed be,

Kirsten Renee xoxo
