Welcome to the very last episode of 2025! I don’t know about you, but this moment always hits different. There’s something tender about the last episode of the year. Something sacred. Something that feels a bit like standing in the doorway of your home at night ... one hand on the knob, pausing, letting the warm air meet the cold, knowing you’re about to cross a threshold. And, well ... That is what today is. A threshold moment. Because today, we’re slowing down. We’re gathering around our little Witchy Work Wishes hearth and we are reflecting on the Wheel of the Year. Not only as a set of dates and sabbats, but the Wheel of the Year as a living, breathing companion that’s walked beside us all year long.

The Wheel of the Year isn’t just a calendar for witches ... it’s a map of our growth. It’s a reminder that life isn’t linear. It’s cyclical. Rhythmic. Spiraled. We grow forward and inward and outward all at once. And when we pause at the end of the cycle and actually look back? We can finally see the story the year told us. A story we don’t always notice when we’re in the middle of living it.

So as 2025 falls gently behind us, I hope you carry the things that nourished you… and leave behind anything that weighed you down. I hope you trust yourself a little more deeply. I hope you honor your boundaries a little more fiercely. And I hope you step into 2026 with a sense of wonder .... soft curiosity and a willingness to grow in the ways your spirit is ready for.

And just know (truly know) that I’m walking into 2026 right alongside you. We’ll continue learning together, growing together, laughing together, lighting candles, pulling cards, drinking tea, and finding magic in the everyday moments.

You are a part of this circle. And I’m so grateful for you.

We've got this!
