I love that age when little girls get really weird and mystical and savage
Like nine through eleven years old, those are some weird years for us
When I was 9-10 I read The Egypt Game and The Headless Cupid, taught myself hieroglyphics, and decided to practice witchcraft
The past three years, my son has come home telling me about the girls he knows, who are: 1. possessed by a demon controlled by a button at the back of her neck, 2. haunted by a dead aunt, and 3. converse regularly with the dead.
I used to talk to bees by running in circles of their dance patterns
this is my new favourite post omg ♡♡♡
girlhood in it’s natural unbridled state is magical
never forget the mysticism of girlhood
When I was that age, I started hiding part of my supper so later that night I could put food on the wood pile for the monsters. I was worried they were hungry.
When I was that age, my friends and I would talk to ghosts at recess and pick herbs and do spells in each other’s backyards.
