Magick That Honors Neurodivergence—Not Performance or Perfection

Hi, I’m Michelle—and I want to share something personal about how I approach magick, planning, and spiritual support here on Witchy Weird.

This space was born from the messiness of real life. From motherhood, burnout, brilliance, and the honest truth that structure—when too rigid—just doesn’t work for everyone. Especially not for folks like me.

“Not everyone works in straight lines—and neither does real transformation.”

🌿 Why I Center Flexibility in My Magick

I’m a mom of two, including one amazing kid who’s autistic. That means my days are full of shifting needs, sensory surprises, and a lot of love—and over time, I’ve come to recognize something else: The way I experience the world has always been different, too.

I’ve never had a formal diagnosis, but I’ve carried a quiet knowing for most of my life. Even as a kid, I knew I processed things a little differently. My earliest memories carry that sense—of noticing too much, feeling deeply, and being told I was “too sensitive” or “too much.”

And now, raising a neurodivergent child and learning more about how different brains work, it’s deepened that clarity. So much of what I’ve navigated in life now makes sense in a new light.

If you're curious about more of my story—including how Witchy Weird came to be—you can read that here on my About page. It’s where I share a bit more about my path, my purpose, and the heartbeat behind this space.

As my life shifted—especially stepping into motherhood—It became harder to find space for the small things that nourished my spirit. My magickal practice, spiritual check-ins, even basic self-care often got pushed aside.

The old methods didn’t fit anymore.

So I stopped forcing them—and began creating rituals, tools, and journaling prompts that could bend with me. More forgiving. More real. Still powerful.

And once I did that? Everything opened up —and I finally felt like my magick could meet me where I actually was.

🧭 What This Means (If You’ve Ever Felt “Too Much” or “Not Enough”)

If you’ve ever felt scattered, sensitive, inconsistent, or like your energy doesn’t always cooperate—you’re not alone.

I’ve felt it too.

That push-pull between wanting to create something beautiful and just needing a nap. That guilt when a ritual feels like one more thing on the to-do list. That relief when someone says, “you can do it your way.”

So if you find comfort in flexible check-ins, visual trackers, or rituals that don’t mind if you skip a step—you’re in good company.

However your energy shows up today—or doesn't—your magick still matters. Your connection to magick doesn’t have to look a certain way to be real.

This space is for witches who are doing their best in the real world—not in some imagined perfect version of it. Whether your brain jumps ahead, slows down, or spirals sideways… there’s still room for your magick here.

🧙‍♀️ What Magick Might Look Like for Neurodivergent Witches

When we honor the real ways our energy moves, magick opens up in new, beautiful ways. It doesn’t have to be elaborate or perfectly timed to be powerful. Sometimes, the simplest moments hold the deepest connection.

Here are a few ways magick might look when you create space for your true rhythms:

• A one-minute grounding spell: placing your hand on your chest and whispering a word of intention before stepping into your day.
• A sensory-friendly altar: built with soft textures, calming scents, and objects that feel soothing instead of overwhelming.
• A spell in motion: whispering affirmations to the trees during a walk, letting the earth carry your wishes.
• A ritual of pauses: lighting a candle in the morning and blowing it out with gratitude at night—even if nothing else fits into the day.
• A spell of softness: choosing a gentle color to wear or a crystal to carry when the world feels too sharp.

✨ Magick isn’t about doing more—it’s about connecting more. Even tiny moments count.

I’ll be sharing even more detailed ideas, rituals, and tools in future posts—but for now, I hope these simple examples help spark new possibilities for how your magick can meet you exactly where you are. 🌿

🌙 How to Start Honoring Your Magick Today

You don’t need to overhaul your life to begin honoring your energy. You can start with something simple, soft, and completely your own.

Here are three small ways you can connect with your magick today:

• Name your energy: Take one minute to describe how you’re feeling right now—no judgment, just noticing.
• Find a symbol: Choose one object near you (a crystal, a leaf, a piece of jewelry) and invite it to become a reminder of your sacredness.
• Breathe with intention: Take three deep breaths, imagining yourself gathering your energy back home.

✨ However you begin, know this: your magick is already within you. There’s no wrong way to reconnect.

✨ What You'll Find Here

• Rituals that don’t demand perfect timing (and let you come back later)
• Journaling prompts with visual, voice, or sensory-friendly options
• Planning tools with gentle structure and flexible layouts
• Spellwork ideas that can be done in five minutes or less
• Gentle tarot spreads designed for reflection, not perfection
• Practices that welcome imperfection and celebrate tiny victories

I often mention practices that are especially helpful if you’re navigating neurodivergence—whether that’s ADHD, autism, sensory sensitivity, or emotional overwhelm.

But these tools aren’t just for one kind of brain. They’re designed for anyone who needs a gentler, more compassionate way to connect with themselves and their magick.

🌿 Witchy Weird is still very new, and there’s so much more on the way! More tools, guides, and soul-supportive resources will be added soon.

In future posts about rituals, spells, and practices, I’ll also be adding special notes where needed—offering ideas on how to adjust or modify instructions so they can better support your energy, your needs, and your magickal rhythm.

Because no matter how your energy moves, your way of doing this is valid. This is a space where all kinds of minds and all kinds of magick are welcome. 

💌 You Are Still Sacred

If no one’s told you lately: Your energy is still sacred. Your presence is enough. Your rituals don’t have to be perfect to be powerful.

You don’t need to perform your spirituality. You get to live it.

🌿 This is the heartbeat of Witchy Weird. Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.

✨ If you're craving ritual tools that honor your energy, your pace, and your magick—you’re not alone. I’m working on a special resource designed just for our neurodivergent, magical minds. Stay tuned. 💫
