Hello fellow baby witches and other witches who are no longer baby witches who still may come here!

I had a thought pop into my head, and while I think the answer is "yes, it is!" I figured I'd ask what anyone else thinks.

I was thinking about swimming in natural water (lake, river, ocean, pond etc) - I've been feeling a pull to be in mother nature, in her forests, in her waters etc.

I have a pool but my logic brain pops in and is like "well actually that's chlorinated pool water so it's different from mother natures natural water" which, it does feel different, honestly. I don't feel the same groundedness and recharge as I do after swimming in "natural" water. THEN after that little curiosity jaunt, I thought to myself "I wish I could swim in moon water."

ANYWAY all that to ask, my thought/question was - on a full moon, is my pool water getting charged as moon water? AND if I swim in it before dawn and before sunrise, am I technically swimming in moon water???? Even though it's pool water with chlorine?

I kind of feel like yes? But also, maybe it isn't? But also, placebo effect and there's nothing really stopping me from telling myself "yes I swam in moon water and it felt lovely" lol.

I don't know. Curious on what you all think?

It is YELLOW outside where I live. Like, someone applied a real time sepia filter out there.

I'm near exit 34 area so a little bit east of Syracuse but not too far.

Is it yellow outside for anyone else?

Woke up thinking we might be expecting a big rainstorm but went outside to look at the sky and its not indicative of rain but smells mildly like campfire to me. Not sure if there's something happening close to my area or if we are getting the residuals of the wildfires happening in Canada?

Not really residuals but I can't think of better verbiage for it as I don't have the background knowledge etc.

Wildfires season always hurts my soul 💔

Was a "lifestyle influencer" on Instagram??

Like, sponsored by certain products, travels for discounted prices to post their travelings and dwellings on social media?

No indication on their profile or public social media that they are a therapist / LMFT. (Which makes sense)

More like, you know they're an LMFT, you see their face while scrolling on reddit advertising for, say, ollie vitamin gummies, then look up their name on Instagram out of curiosity, and see their whole lifestyle bloggings and posts.

I'm trying to sit with why I feel bothered by this? And why my immediate response / feeling is that I do not want to work with them?

I think at face value I can say that I don't particularly like influencer culture, I have a bias against them and the feeling that (most) influencers are vapid.

I know therapists are human and are *allowed to be* human, but I just feel so turned off by the notion, so I'm coming here for some outside opinions.

What do you all think??

I realized this about myself the other day, wondering if anyone else here can relate or if it's just a "me thing" - though I'm going to assume this is part of what people mean when they talk about our "detached" Aquarian nature....

I am the QUEEN of: knowing immediately when someone is upset / angry with me but I will act like I'm oblivious and everything is fine until they come to me and tell me there's a problem.

I KNOW there's a problem but I'm not doing your emotional work for ya! Until someone tells me their issue, I act like there is no issue 🤣

Edit: to be clear, I'm not wreaking havoc in people's lives and playing oblivious "heheh now tell me what I did"

Im speaking to a sudden, silent but visible or audible shift in energy. But nothing has otherwise changed - not a disagreement or a fight or a slight. It can feel passive aggressive in a way?

Especially if I do ask and they tell me nothing is wrong then baby, nothing is wrong! Business as usual, let's carry on.
