    Read excerpt

    Welcome to Ink-Stained Compass! You asked and I listened. This week’s letter is in response to a call I sent out asking my readers to suggest topics for me to write about. I’ve saved all topics to the drafts folder on Substack so I can write as inspiration hits. This one is written according to a topic suggested by a lovely reader who asked me to write about “an ordinary day in the life of a witch.” If you’d like to suggest a topic, just reply to this email if you’re reading this from your email
