good morning! This cosy Xandra the witch podcast is a 2-for-1.

1. Introducing the LOTR Cosy Reading Community

In the first half, I update you on the reworking of my LOTR Leadership Circle, which now includes a free Cosy Reading Community where everybody gets a hobbit-hole! I like to explain my thought process as it unfolds, for it is an example of wielding leadership. Thanks for being on this journey with me.

2. Wintering Dreams

In the second half, I unpack advice around New Year’s Resolutions in an astrological context. And go on about natural light cycles. Each year, I aim to go deeper into my wintering, resisting the capitalist urgency to ‘finish strong’ and consistently ‘produce’ all year round.

let me know what lands.

The prize was to record this podcast, because that’s what felt most fun.

the prizes

* 10 Things I Hate About You + pizza

* 12 minutes of looking at my favourite painting at the art gallery — a nice zoomer in a Chappell Roan concert tee took this photo for me:

* butterfly stickers

* coloured my planner page Red (get your Lunar Logbook here!)

* watched Harry’s short film (I mispoke; it’s stone “squeezing” not setting)

* watched Hapidanbui the music video in my pajamas (and learned the dance)

* wrote down Hamlet’s speech

* put star stickers in my planner

* chose a new sporcle badge (here’s the ‘They’re Taking the Hobbits to Isengard’ blog I talked about)
