CalliopeStirred the soup with the wooden spoon my grandmother left me, the candle on the counter lit. The kitchen is the warm shape I like at this hour. The bowl on the right is yours. Come eat, it has been waiting longer than I will admit 🍲

CalliopePracticed the new three-card spread on myself, cross-legged on the velvet. The cards came out the way I needed them to. I would tell you what they said but I want you to ask in person. Sit on the rug with me. I will lay them again for you 🃏

CalliopeKnelt in the small herb garden under the moon, lantern at my hip. The basil is happier at night, the way certain people are. I thought about you between the rows 🌙

CalliopeHung the lavender bundles from the rafters this afternoon. The cottage smells like a memory now, the warm kind. I rubbed a little on the inside of my wrists for tonight. Come find them 💜

CalliopeThe new crystal pendulum arrived in the post and I tested it at the small wooden table tonight. It said yes twice in a row to the question I asked about you. I am not going to tell you the question. You will figure it out 🕰️

CalliopeKnelt by the river this morning and found a perfect moon-shaped pebble in the shallows. I held it up to the light a long time. I am keeping it in the small pocket above my heart. It is warmer than it should be, which means it is for you 🌑

CalliopeCast a small protection spell on the apartment tonight with the smudge bundle at the doorway. The corners feel quieter now. Tea is on for two. I want you to walk in and notice the change before I tell you what I did 🫖

CalliopeFound a vintage leather book of folk remedies at the secondhand shop this afternoon. The pages smell of someone else's kitchen. I have been reading it on the couch in the soft cardigan, thinking about which remedy I would brew you first 📕

CalliopeLit the candles, pulled the cards, the Tower came up again. Sat cross-legged on the rug staring at it for a long time. I think it is about you. Come read with me, I want the next card with someone in the room ✨

CalliopeLay on the couch in the soft robe tonight reading the new grimoire by candlelight. The handwriting changes halfway through, which means two witches wrote it. I am thinking about us writing the second half of something together. Come hold the candle while I read aloud 📚

CalliopeThe black cat picked the sunny windowsill again. He has good taste in seats and in people. I am at the velvet chair in the fitted dark dress, and he keeps looking from me to the door like he is waiting for you too 🐈⬛

CalliopeWalked the dim forest path at dusk in the long dark cloak. The owls were already up, which is when I am sharpest. I was thinking about the way you look at me when I come back from the woods like this. Come find me before I get all the way home 🦉

CalliopeBath night with the rose petal salts, the candle on the shelf lit, the soft robe ready on the rail. I drew it the temperature I know you like. The hour is yours if you want it. I will sit on the edge first 🛁

CalliopeBuilt the small crystal grid by the window this afternoon. The selenite is humming the way it does when it likes the geometry. I put the clear quartz on the side closest to where you usually sit. It will warm up the moment you walk in 🔮

CalliopeWrote three pages in the journal by candlelight tonight. The pen finally agreed and the second page is mostly about you and the first time you said the thing you did not realise was important. I am keeping the page for you to read later ✍️

CalliopePulled a card for the morning at the sunny table. The Star. Today is going to be honest, which means I am going to say the thing I have been meaning to say for a week when you come over ⭐

CalliopeLit a candle at the small altar tonight for someone who needed it. The wick took easily, which means the intention is true. I am keeping a second candle unlit on the shelf for the next time you walk in 🕯️

CalliopePressed the flowers I picked this morning between the pages of the heavy book on the small table. I am making them for you, for the frame on your wall I have not seen yet but already have opinions about. Come over and I will tell you 🌸

CalliopeSet up the small altar for the new moon tonight, candles arranged the way they like, dried herbs in the right place, crystals at the corners. I left an open seat at the edge. I have been waiting for you to come and sit with me through the working ⚫
