The Grove Stirs: How It Feels to Begin
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.
