This is my creative space for soft chaos, collage art, cozy streams, and witchy joy. The Grove Stirs is our first season (May–July), focused on new beginnings, healing from burnout, and reconnecting with creativity.

I’m showing up with grounded, authentic energy—sharing my artwork, exploring my spiritual practice, and building community at a gentle pace. Whether you’re here to watch, rest, create, or just quietly exist alongside me, you’re welcome in Moondrop Grove.

Other posts here dive deeper into each part of the season—like what I’m streaming, why I’m sharing my art now, and how I’m using this space to heal and grow. Take a look around and find what resonates.

This season is personal. All of it. This isn’t just branding—it’s me letting myself be seen, in ways I haven’t before. I hope you feel that when you visit Moondrop Grove.

You can hang out with me on Twitch, chat in Discord, follow along on Instagram, check out the shop, or just quietly lurk if that’s more your speed.

Whether you’re new or you’ve been here a while—thank you for being part of this.

It’s soft here. It’s a little messy. It’s real.

You’re welcome in Moondrop Grove.

This week’s reading feels like a breaking point and a turning point. Some things are ending whether we’re ready or not—and others are beginning beneath the surface, even if we can’t see them clearly yet. There’s tension here, yes, but also potential. Let’s walk through it together:

Overall Energy — Seven of Coins
The Seven of Coins is that moment where you stop, take a breath, and look around. Is all this work paying off? Are you heading where you meant to go? It’s a card of quiet progress—but also of honest reflection. You’ve planted something. Now it’s time to ask if you’re still aligned with what’s growing.

Internal — Death
Change is already happening inside you. Whether you asked for it or not, something’s shifting. Death isn’t about destruction—it’s about release. You’re making space, consciously or not, for a new version of yourself to take root. Let it. Even if it’s uncomfortable. Especially if it’s uncomfortable.

External — Ten of Swords
Something outside of you is ending—and not gently. This card is the final straw, the breaking point, the “I can’t keep doing this” moment. But it’s also liberation. The situation may hurt, but it’s no longer sustainable. Let it die with dignity. You don’t need to carry it forward.

Challenge — Five of Wands
Everything feels loud this week. Conflict might pop up in conversations, group dynamics, or even inside your own head. The challenge isn’t to win the fight—it’s to decide whether the fight is even worth your energy. Be picky about what you engage with. Chaos loves attention. Don’t feed it.

Ally — Five of Swords
Sometimes your ally is the part of you that refuses to keep the peace just to stay likable. The Five of Swords reminds you: not all bridges are worth preserving. Walk away when you need to. Speak the truth even if your voice shakes. Self-preservation is sacred, not selfish.

Summary
This spread says: not everything can come with you. Something needs to end so something else can grow—and part of that process might be messy. But mess isn’t failure. It’s evidence that you’re alive, moving, transforming. Let yourself be honest about what’s done, what’s changing, and what’s truly worth fighting for.

Reflection Questions

• What have I outgrown—even if I haven’t admitted it yet?

• Where am I spending energy out of habit instead of alignment?

• What would change if I stopped trying to keep the peace?

Affirmations

• I release what no longer serves me, even when it’s hard.

• I do not owe anyone my silence or my suffering.

• I am allowed to change. I am allowed to begin again.

This week’s reading feels like walking through fog with a lantern. There’s healing here, but it’s quiet. Gentle. Not loud and dramatic, not urgent and burning—just persistent and steady. Let’s walk through it together:

Overall Energy — The Star
Hope doesn’t have to scream to be real. The Star is that soft pull forward, a reminder that even if you’ve been gutted or scattered, you’re still meant to shine. This week carries quiet optimism, the kind that doesn’t demand perfection—just presence.

Internal — Temperance
Your inner world is stirring with the need for balance, but it’s not about doing less—it’s about blending the pieces of you that feel at odds. Patience is required, especially with yourself. The discomfort you feel might just be alchemy in progress.

External — Strength
The world may test your resolve, but Strength says you already have what it takes. Not brute force—this is heart-led endurance. Whether you’re dealing with conflict, overwhelm, or just the pressure to hold it all together, remember: compassion is a power move.

Challenge — The Hermit
You may feel the urge to pull away, to isolate or disappear into your own little void. Solitude can be sacred—but check whether you're using it to escape. The challenge this week is discernment: Are you retreating for insight, or to avoid something uncomfortable?

Ally — Four of Swords
Rest is not laziness, it’s strategy. Your greatest ally this week is stillness. Recovery. Giving yourself a damn break. Even just a few moments of intentional rest could shift everything. Let silence work on your behalf.

Summary

This spread says: healing is happening, but it’s not a spectacle. It’s in the in-between moments—when you’re sipping tea, when you choose not to fight, when you take a breath before reacting. Let softness win this week. You’ll be surprised what grows from it.

Reflection Questions

• Where am I trying to force clarity instead of allowing it to emerge?

• What does true rest look like for me—and why do I keep avoiding it?

• Am I isolating for wisdom, or to avoid feeling vulnerable?

Affirmations

• I don’t need to earn peace—I am allowed to rest without guilt.

• My strength is steady, compassionate, and rooted in truth.

• I trust the healing process, even when I can’t see the full picture.

Each reading includes five card positions: the overall energy guiding the week, your internal landscape, the external influences around you, a challenge to be aware of, and an ally offering support. At the end, you’ll find a Reflection & Takeaways section with three key reminders and three questions to help you integrate the week’s message.

Overall Energy – Page of Cups
This week invites emotional openness and curiosity. The Page of Cups encourages you to explore new feelings and let creative sparks guide your actions. Stay soft-hearted and receptive—ideas may come through dreams, intuition, or quiet moments of reflection.

Internal Landscape – The Hanged Man
Inside, there’s a call for stillness and a shift in perspective. The Hanged Man suggests a need to pause, surrender control, and trust the wisdom that comes from letting go. Transformation often requires patience and the courage to see things differently.

External Influences – 3 of Swords
There may be grief, separation, or the sting of betrayal present in your environment. The 3 of Swords asks for honest acknowledgment of emotional pain. Whether it’s a recent disappointment or an old wound resurfacing, facing it with compassion is the first step toward healing.

Challenge – Page of Wands
Your challenge this week is to stay bold in your curiosity. The Page of Wands encourages free-spirited exploration and a willingness to try something new—but this may feel daunting if you’re still processing pain or navigating uncertainty. Lean into the discovery process, even if it’s messy.

Ally – The Lovers
Support arrives through meaningful connection and intentional choices. The Lovers card reminds you that you don’t have to face challenges alone. Whether it’s a relationship, a creative passion, or a decision aligned with your values, something—or someone—is helping you come home to yourself.

Reflections & Take Aways

Three things to remember this week:

• Let your feelings guide you, not control you.

• Stillness is a valid and powerful step forward.

• You don’t have to explore or heal alone.

Three questions to reflect on:

• What new emotional truth is trying to surface for me?

• Where am I being asked to pause instead of push?

• Who or what helps me feel aligned when things get hard?

This season’s streams and content are centered around two things: expression and connection.

• On Mondays, I’m embracing quiet creativity—art collages, tarot, and soft structure.

• On Fridays, we play games, explore strange worlds, and laugh a little more.

Each stream day has its own vibe, and the redeems will reflect that. Some will only be available on specific days so the mood stays balanced.

I’ll also be experimenting with my massive collage supply stash (seriously, it’s a whole thing) and finally trying to sell my work. That’s a big step, but it feels right. I’m learning to show who I am visually—because that’s how I understand the world.

There’ll be mini goals and sub rewards spread throughout the season, and a small celebratory event in late July to help transition into the next season: The Path Turns.

The core of all of this is rest and processing. I know connection and creativity will come if I give myself space. And I want Moondrop Grove to reflect that pace—not rushed, not overloaded. Just unfolding.

Outside of Twitch, I’ll be growing my shop with more items (not just “merch”—that word feels too limiting). I’ll be using Instagram more, and maybe trying some local outreach. TikTok will stay more focused on political thoughts and local stuff for now.

It’s that first moment of newness. The little sensory reminders that things are changing: a floral breeze, a warmer sunrise, a flicker of curiosity. As someone who struggles with transitions, this kind of small shift feels doable. Even comforting.

I’ve gone through a lot internally lately. Learning I’m autistic was part of it, but just as important was believing what I already knew about myself—my talents, my perspective, my spirituality. I didn’t have time to process it, and that turned into physical burnout. This season is me choosing to lean into my truth instead of numbing it out.

More than anything, I want to create a space where I can be myself—and let others in. I haven’t always allowed that, even with good people. But I want that to change. Moondrop Grove is a chance to build trust, community, and a softer version of growth. For myself and maybe for others, too.

I’m excited—and a little overwhelmed. I’ve planned this season down to the hour, and now I get to actually see what grows from it. I’ve poured my energy into making something that allows for natural connection and creative freedom, both for myself and the community I’m building. This season is about transition—into brighter days, clearer selfhood, and softer joy. Not just in the world around us, but in my world too.

The energy I’m bringing into this season is grounded, authentic, and hopeful. I want my streams and artwork to say, “Hey... it’s going to be okay. Let’s make what we can of that.” Without forcing too much. Without needing it to be perfect.

This season, I’m finally sharing my collage art—something I’ve loved for a long time but haven’t had the space or outlet to showcase. Moondrop Grove gives me that space. I get to cross the internal barriers I’ve had, without pushing too far past my comfort zone. My art is good enough to share. I know that now.

My witchcraft, too, is part of that shift. It’s been a huge source of healing and clarity for me. I want to reflect that in Moondrop Grove—not as rules or aesthetics, but as a practice that’s personal, lived-in, and gently powerful. Letting myself just be in my craft has made everything feel lighter.

The season’s symbol? Early spring. That crisp jacket weather where the birds are chirping, the flowers are starting to bloom, and the wind still bites a little. That soft in-between. It doesn’t last long, especially where I live, but it’s magic while it’s here—and I want to hold onto that feeling.
