Poetry is magic. And poems are spells. The spirituality of poetry is clear - but it's not always obvious; like many paths and practices (especially witchcraft, folk magic, or other spiritual paths), poetry is a way toward self-reclamation, finding autonomy, understanding yourself and the world, and getting in touch with the divine, mysterious force within us - creativity. And like a spell, a poem is born of intent and uses specific ingredients. Poetry is shadow work, a way of mining the depths. And through that act, it is a torch of illumination. If we are the soil, the poetry is the rose that blooms. And the magic - that's what brings it to the surface. Cover Credit: @FreddomLiar (Thanks a thousand times over❤️)
