I Want {Ed. 5}
Copyright Yael Wolfe & Jack Wolfe
I want to return to my witch world. I have walked in the World of Man for far, far too long. It has dried out my skin. Left my heart bruised.
My soul longs for home.
I want to buy flowy fabric with which to make a new dress - something I can wear all summer to make me feel soft and feminine, connected to my womanhood. And I want time - time to spend carefully crafting the garment, time to spend cutting it correctly, time to spend learning new sewing skills, time to pour my heart into my craft.
I want gold jewelry to celebrate the work I put into the world. Chandelier earrings that complement my femininity and whose gold sheen symbolizes abundance. I want a hammered crescent moon necklace to remind myself that I’m a goddess, impervious to the arrows of the World of Man. I want teeny-tiny, incredibly delicate brass studs. I want a huge moonstone pendant that commands the eye of anyone who sees me.
I want new eyeshadow colors that I haven’t worn in years - eyeshadows that don’t cause me allergies, that I can wear with confidence and comfort.
I want a new bottle of herbal perfume - a roller vial because I so love feeling those little balls roll against my skin.
I want a rune set made from wood or antlers that will make a hollow skittering sound when they hit the surface of a table. I want to unwrap my tarot cards and remember how to read them.
I want my work to be so valuable to the world that I no longer struggle to make ends meet. That I can fill my world with these simple, feminine treasures.
And I want to never again forget that I always need to stay close to home, close to my feminine heart, close to my womanhood.
