The Witchy Side of Pleasure: Why I’m Manifesting More Orgasms This Halloween
I’ve always been a bit of a witch at heart. Not the pointy hat kind, more the candles, crystals, and full moon journalling kind. I love anything that makes the everyday feel a little bit more magical.
But this year, my focus isn’t on love spells or manifesting money. It’s on something a bit more personal: pleasure.
I came out after years of trying to be the kind of woman I thought men wanted. It took a while to untangle who I actually was underneath all that — a lesbian who’d never really taken the time to get to know her own body. I’d been so busy people-pleasing that I’d forgotten what I actually liked.
Last Halloween, I decided to change that.
I made it a bit of a ritual; lit a candle, poured a glass of wine, put on music that made me feel good. And I finally used this crystal dildo I’d bought months before but kept hidden in the drawer like it was contraband.
It sounds silly, but it felt powerful. I wasn’t trying to perform or reach some finish line. I was just there, with myself. Slower, more curious. There was something almost spiritual about it, like I was finally listening to what my body had been trying to say for years.
Since then, I’ve started treating pleasure like a kind of self-care. Not something to squeeze in at the end of the week or feel embarrassed about – just part of looking after myself.
This Halloween, I’ll be doing it again: a long bath with oils, some candles, maybe a new toy I’ve been eyeing up. Nothing fancy. Just time to be in my skin and enjoy it.
Because honestly? You don’t need to be a witch to cast a spell — you just need to give yourself permission to feel good.
