February Musings
It’s wild to me that it’s already the end of February. Time seems to fly by so quickly the older I get. I know that the past couple of months I have been slacking on this blog but a lot has been happening behind the scenes for The Northern Mage.
To date, I have gathered all of my equipment and successfully started The Northern Mage YouTube Channel. Those videos will soon be posted to this website, as will links to my podcast “The Crooked Broomstick”. I have also created a lengthy list of topics that I want to cover in both video, blog, and podcast format, and I have begun researching several of those topics and planning out that content. My hope is that I will create a robust online treasure trove where followers will be able to find exactly what they are looking for, in the format they prefer.
In addition to the above, I have spent time starting down my own path of self growth and education. For years….and I do mean years…I have explored the world of Tarot and the world of Herbalism. These are two topics that interest me greatly and are very near and dear to my heart. Despite spending years studying these topics, I have never done any formal education around them. This year that will all change. I have signed up for an online Tarot course, through a reader that I have followed for years now and been inspired by countless times. I have also signed up for an herbalism course through the Herbal Academy. It has been refreshing during the first few lessons to see that I know a lot of the information they have already supplied, which means that my independent studying has not been for nothing. The things I did not know have been a wonderful thing to learn and I am adding them to my ever growing book of notes on herbalism.
When I started 2024 I knew that my main goal was going to be to learn more about myself and to lean more into who I am. As I embark on these new paths, I feel like I am on the right course. I am so incredibly excited for what this year has to offer and I hope that my hard work and dedication to The Northern Mage project will become something that will be beneficial not just to myself but to others as well.
