Written by Coming Out of the Broom Closet
2025 was the year I finally stopped hiding.
As a Scorpio, I’m no stranger to keeping secrets, to holding things close, to maintaining that protective shell around what matters most. But this year, something shifted. The weight of staying silent about my practice, about what I actually believe, about who I really am, it became heavier than the risk of speaking out.
So I did it. I finally spoke openly about witchcraft. Not in hushed tones to a select few, but publicly, clearly, without apology. And in doing so, I made a decision that would shape everything that followed. I would build crafttalk.com as a learning and circle platform for practitioners who, like me, were looking for authentic community and genuine teaching.
That moment of choosing visibility over safety? Pure Scorpio transformation energy. Death of the hidden self, rebirth into authenticity. It wasn’t comfortable, Scorpio growth never is, but it was necessary.
The Lesson I Didn’t Expect
Here’s what I thought I knew about myself going into 2025: I’m a solitary practitioner. I work best alone. I don’t need community or circles or other people’s energy in my practice. I’m self-sufficient, independent, perfectly content in my solitary path.
