What is a Witch

Katie, I mailed a couple of bonus items to you on this dreary morning! Maybe they‘ll make it to you by Halloween? I‘ll post the ETA in the comments below. 🔮📦🦇

Gifts are double-wrapped in plastic baggies for protection against the elements. I don‘t know about you but we‘re supposed to get A TON of rain this week!

sprainedbrain, mklong

monalyisha @mklong They‘re expected to reach you on the 28th! 🖤 3y

mklong Oh how exciting! Thank you! You have some extra goodies coming too 😊 3y

monalyisha @mklong lol do we each need to pinky-swear to stop sending one another stuff? 😅 (edited) 3y

mklong LOL, never! 3y

mklong It‘s here! I can‘t wait until Sunday!! Your second package is scheduled for delivery on Saturday so 🤞 3y

Good thing I was too nervous & neurotic to wait for the final piece of my #BasicWitchSwap to arrive before mailing! Anxiety for the win! 😅

@mklong Be aware that your gifts are ~exceptional.~

Last night, I signed up for one of my very favorite Litsy swaps (started by me…not to toot my own horn because I quickly realized that swap-hosting was for those made of tougher stuff & passed the torch): #BasicWitchSwap!

@sprainedbrain has been running it flawlessly for years now, & this time @mklong is co-hosting!

You, too, can have a magical time & register here:
https://forms.gle/4WGbwnSp8hN9Bjf16

mklong I‘m thrilled to be part of keeping this one going! It was such a great idea! 3y

monalyisha @mklong In general, I‘m an idea machine. It‘s that pesky execution…🙃 3y

Annie1215 @monalyisha I‘m doing 3 swaps right now and all of my shopping has looked like that. This is exactly what I‘m like when I holiday shop too lol. The good thing is I get myself really good stuff which means my match will hopefully really like their stuff 😂 4y

monalyisha @Annie1215 SAME! I just get excited about all of my favorite things & want to share the love. 4y

Clare-Dragonfly I have a feeling my shopping will look like that 😂 My match has such good taste! 4y

My #basicwitchswap package has been sent! There was room on the broom at the post office today (& room in my schedule to find the time to finish wrapping & get it there 😉). It should arrive Friday, October 25th.

Can‘t wait ‘til Opening Day! 🖤🦇🧙‍♀️🔮🌚

sprainedbrain, Meaw_catlady

Meaw_catlady Amazing wrapping!! 🖤🖤 it‘s almost time!! 5y

monalyisha @Meaw_catlady Thanks! I somehow dipped the ends of my hair in my coffee while I was wrapping & then didn‘t have time to shower before work. 🙈 So I‘m glad it was worth it! 😅 5y

Meaw_catlady My hair always ends up with coffee in it somehow!! Haha and whenever I wear white I end up with coffee spills ☕️ 5y

1. Pine/fir/juniper (woodsy). Lavender/gardenia/tuberose/basil/sage (floral & herbaceous)
2. Reese‘s pumpkins! 🎃 Kit Kats. Also, I love when something unexpected is mixed with chocolate: pretzels, sea salt, cayenne, flower petals, etc. Milk over dark. Local treats are always welcome!
3. I love ghosts (even if I‘m a skeptic). 👻
4. The magic & possibility in the air. ✨& homemade costumes! I love the creativity the season inspires.

monalyisha @Kaila-ann The sad part is that *I‘m* also the person tripping on the stairs & spilling coffee on her shirt. I‘m just so complex & conflicted. 😅 5y

1. Coffee - esp. a light/medium blend, ground, non-flavored (but I'll drink anything)! We have a grinder which we can use to pulverize whole beans, if need be.*
2. Fiction
3. Light magic; gray fiction
4. Bunnies!
5. Tarot**
6. Story & practice
7. Plants (though I'm an unintentional plant murderer).
8. North? I'm choosing this based solely on Joni Mitchell‘s lyrics from the song (“Case of You“) on the Practical Magic soundtrack. 😅
#basicwitchswap

monalyisha *I like tea, as well (but I don't drink it as often). I like sleepy, nighttime teas (herbal or spicy more than fruity).
** I have a tarot deck & guide (by Kim Krans) but I've yet to commit the time needed to teach myself to use them. One day? Someday soon? (edited) 5y

Meaw_catlady Great answers! And do you have a bunny? 5y

I don‘t know if any of my fellow #witchpleaseswap-pers follow hagclub on Instagram, but they‘re restocking their shop in the next 48 hours & I‘m so eagerly awaiting the lavender bush underwear design that I think I might cry. 😂 I mean, that might be a *little* bit of an exaggeration. But I just think they‘re so cool.

That is all. This has been a magically-feminist PSA. Please continue with your day.

Desperately Seeking Susan... I mean, *someone*... to send a REPLACEMENT #WitchPleaseSwap package to a super-chill & kind Litten in Germany. The package she was waiting for never arrived. 😪

The minimum requirement was 2 books & 2 witchy, thematic &/or bookish items. I‘m hoping someone will fly in to supply this for her. If interested, comment below & I can provide more details. It‘d be super good for your karma & I & the Universe would thank you!

I‘m truly blown away by the amazingness of this #WitchPleaseSwap box that @DoonTheGoon put together for me! I love everything but I think my favorite parts are the spell jar that she made just for me and the super rad “Charms of the Witching Hour” box (which contains its own additional set of little goodies)! Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness, Dana! 🖤 This was my first Litsy swap and you set the bar HIGH! 😂

This is the most awesome book sleeve EVER; & the button on the closure is FANTASTIC! You made me weepy with the owl & your note stating you made it for me since I don‘t have a familiar!!😁. Her name is Athena, & we have already bonded!

I‘ve been focused on making sure that all #WitchPleaseSwap packages have been sent... but now, with just a few days left, the time has come to obnoxiously pester people to ensure that packages have been *received.*

If I‘ve tagged you below, it‘s because I don‘t have updated notes for you. The most likely reason for this is my own messy brain.😅 Please know that several packages have been sent in the last few days; things are still forthcoming! 🔮

monalyisha @HufflepuffGirl90 @Linsy @tex have you guys sent your packages out? (If I missed a comment, apologies!) 6y

monalyisha @julesG just wanted to let you know that your match sent your package out about two weeks ago; she was told it should arrive within 7-14 days so it should be there anytime now! 🖤 6y

julesG Thanks! 6y

Linsy Sorry, I probably forgot to tag you! I sent my swap package out and received my package in return. I haven‘t heard from my swap, but her package should get there soon! 6y

callunakeep @monalyisha @Maewyn and I already spoiled that surprise! We know who each other are. 😂🤣 We are both very excited! I will definitely post pics of the box when it goes out!🤓💕❤️ 6y

Julies_Bookshelf_Adventures @monalyisha I sent mine out about a month ago lol, could have sworn I tagged you in it. Oops. I‘ve also received my swap as well. 6y

Tex2Flo Just as bad as the others. Sent and received. 6y

monalyisha Thanks for the update @tex! 6y

slightlyfoxed @monalyisha I just sent you an email - I‘ve run into a snag in that my match did not include her mailing address in her response, which I did not notice until I was going to mail it. Let me know if I should contact her directly to ask about it! 6y

monalyisha @slightlyfoxed Sent an email your way! 6y

LiteraryLona Sent and received @monalyisha 6y

WhiskeyMistress @monalyisha still haven‘t gotten mine yet... 6y

monalyisha @WhiskeyMistress Yours has gone out & should be there Monday or Tuesday, I‘m told! 6y

WhiskeyMistress @monalyisha awesome! Thanks so much. 6y

monalyisha @WhiskeyMistress No prob. 👍🏻 6y

monalyisha There are so many comments on this post that I‘m actually having trouble loading them all! 😱 Just quadruple-checking on @kamoorephoto & @AmyG that your packages were sent out! Also, (probably needlessly 😆🤓) checking on @kaysworld1 to make sure that the goodies portion of your package went out to your match & is due to be received before 10/31. Thanks! 🙏🏻🔮 Sorry for being annoying! 😜 6y

AmyG Mine was recieved by @CindyMyLifeIsLit and hers was sent to me and should arrive today. I will post a picture when it does. And...you are not annoying. Just doing your job. Thank you!!! (edited) 6y

kaysworld1 @monalyisha all sent out and in the post days ago. 6y

monalyisha @kaysworld1 Thanks! Did you get tracking/ETA? @AmyG Thanks for the update & for nursing my self-image. 😉🎃 6y

kamoorephoto Package has been sent out!!! I had some domestic issues (ones that require swear words) that prevented me from mailing sooner, but my lovely friend @IheartYA should get her package on Halloween (forgive me, Patty...it WILL be worth the wait, I promise) 😽🖤 6y

IheartYA @kamoorephoto Ooooooooo I believe you. Lolol But I don't think anything can top what you sent me last time. 😮♥️🎃 6y

Quirkybookworm I never heard a word if my package was ever received. I sent it out like 3 weeks ago. 5y

monalyisha @Quirkybookworm I‘m sorry about that! I do have indicated on my notes sheet that she received it. Let‘s see if she opens it today & then all of the questions will be answered! 5y

Quirkybookworm Ok making sure! Thanks! 5y

LiteraryLona Got it @Quirkybookworm ! I opened it but didn't take a picture, my kids loved it too! 😂 Thank you! 5y

monalyisha @LiteraryLona please take a photo when you can! 🖤 5y

Quirkybookworm Can you still take a photo, @LiteraryLona ? 5y

LiteraryLona No, I actually put it all up after opening it and didn't take a photo, I'm so sorry! 5y

monalyisha @LiteraryLona Maybe post a picture of it “up” then? Or some portion of it? I hate to be pushy/exacting but I know I‘d be disappointed if I sent a package with intention & care & I didn‘t get to see it in its new home. It‘s all part of the swap experience/commitment! I know @Quirkybookworm had some issues with her package being torn/having fallen from her mailbox, as well, so it would be nice if one part of the swap went according to plan! 😔🙏🏻 5y

monalyisha @LiteraryLona if it‘s not possible tonight, then maybe sometime in the next day or two? 5y

kamoorephoto I‘m waiting to receive something in the mail in order to put it in my box to mail out... 6y

monalyisha @kamoorephoto I hope it comes soon! I‘d say, if it doesn‘t come by Thursday night, maybe send out your package Friday without it & send the missing item along later? Just a thought. 💞 Want to make sure you give the package a little wiggle room to arrive on time! 6y

CindyMyLifeIsLit @AmyG It took longer than expected for some of my items to come in. I got the last one yesterday, so the box should go out tomorrow. I always use priority shipping, so it should be there in plenty of time! Can‘t wait for the witching day to arrive! 🧙‍♀️🎃👻👹 6y

@Jess_Franzino your #WitchPleaseSwap box will be going out either today or Monday (depending on if I can get my feeble, sickly butt off of the couch 🤧😆). Keep a lookout!

Can‘t wait ‘til October 31st! 🖤🔮✨

Jess_Franzino YAY! Your box will be going out either Monday or Tuesday. I‘m sick too, which rendered me useless for the past two days ☹️ Hope you feel better soon! 6y

monalyisha @Jess_Franzino nice! We‘re a match even in terms of our (poor) health! 😅 Actually, I got yours all taped up & then realized I forgot something... and then couldn‘t even find the something I forgot. 🙈 It‘s just a little non-fiction resource (all of the books in your package are fiction, otherwise); if I find it, I‘ll send it in a separate package! 6y

monalyisha @Jess_Franzino All mailed out! It should arrive on Wednesday. 🔮 6y

Jess_Franzino @monalyisha I can‘t wait!!! Not opening it until Halloween will be SO hard! I‘ll likely be sending your package out on Wednesday, since I lost Thursday-Saturday due to being sick, and still need to get you some final items. 6y

monalyisha @Jess_Franzino Sounds good! 😊 6y

monalyisha Hi @Jess_Franzino 👋🏻. Did my package get to you safely? 🖤 6y

Jess_Franzino @monalyisha It did ♥️ Sorry I forgot to update. Also, mine should arrive for you on Monday! 6y

monalyisha @Jess_Franzino It‘s cool! Happy it‘s home. 🔮 6y

Jess_Franzino @monalyisha Update: I think USPS wants me dead. My box hadn‘t left the USPS facility, so I had to go pay extra to make sure it arrives by Tuesday x.x All sorted out now, so be expecting it around Tuesday at noon. 6y

monalyisha Ack! Sorry you had to do that @Jess_Franzino ! 6y

Hi #WitchPleaseSwap pals!

If you see this, can you do me a quick favor?

If you‘ve received your package, email me with the subject RECEIVED? In the body of the email, you can say, “I‘ve received my #WitchPleaseSwap package! My Litsy name is _______.”

If you‘ve mailed out your package, can you email me w/ the subject SENT? In the body, do the same & provide your Litsy name.

It‘d be a huge help! If you‘ve sent & received, send 2 separate emails!

monalyisha My email is monalyisha@gmail.com. Thanks! 🙏🏻🔮 (edited) 6y

Something a little fun & witchy for my #WitchPleaseSwap participants!

To play, mark the squares describing an activity of which you‘re “guilty.” 🧙🏻‍♀️

Also: check-in time! How‘s your researching/shopping going? Let me know! 🖤

WeeziesBooks I keep thinking I‘m done buying... and then I find something else 🤷🏽‍♀️ 6y

monalyisha @WeeziesBooks Me too! I think I may send mine out a bit early (as soon as the books arrive) to avoid further temptation. 6y

mrsmarch I need to find a delightfully witchy wrapping paper but so far, no luck! I think I‘m done with the gift buying, just need some tasty treats to fill the nooks and crannies. 6y

Clare-Dragonfly I have one item purchased… I looked at all the books with “witch” in the title at the bookstore this weekend, and none were on my recipient‘s TBR, but I bought one for myself 😅 6y

Clare-Dragonfly @mrsmarch @Joy0201 Spoonflower has lots of good ones! 6y

SMayWrites I shipped mine out a few days ago! If I'd kept it any longer I would have been tempted to start reading her books 😅 6y

Joy0201 @Clare-Dragonfly is that an Etsy shop? I found some orange and black at Walgreens 6y

Clare-Dragonfly @Joy0201 No, it‘s a website where people can upload their own designs. It‘s mostly for fabric, but they also have gift wrap and wallpaper! 6y

Here‘s my real-life hand:

I‘m wearing a Pisces ring & I‘m not a Pisces. It‘s not delicately-crafted. I don‘t care. I got it at the Brimfield Antique Fair & I love it. I love spoon rings. I love the ocean. I love the blue of the stone. I‘m chronically dehydrated from drinking a brew of iced coffee & little water.

I have warts. When the kids at work ask me what they are, I tell them it‘s a sign that I am magical. #bodypositivity #WitchPleaseSwap

Trashcanman 👁️👁️🙂 6y

CouronneDhiver My real life hands give me the creeps right now (veins)... isn‘t it funny how unkind or “judgy” we can be to ourselves?! No one else thinks like that 6y

monalyisha @LazyDays It‘s the typical Pisces symbolism: two fish. “The fish are usually portrayed swimming in opposite directions; this represents the duality within the Piscean nature. They are ruled by the planet Neptune. ... Pisces are the mutable water sign of the zodiac. They represent emotion, intuition, imagination, escapism, romance, and impressionism.” 6y

LazyDays Very cool I didn't see the fish😊 very pretty rings still!💓 6y

Last time we went, my mom & future sister-in-law & I met some vendors who host a swimming pool out of the back of their truck every year (& a tiki bar at their site even when there‘s not a pool).

So, after finding the picture I used to promote the #WitchPleaseSwap (via a google image search), I determined its original source (the tagged book) & then took a leap of faith & ordered a copy of the book for myself, despite its steep price tag.

HOLY HECATE, you guys! I think it might be the coolest thing I‘ve EVER bought for myself!

One of the goodies I ordered for my swap-mate came today, too - & it‘s truly magical. What a GREAT mail day!

I‘m hard at work on your #WitchPleaseSwap matches, I promise!

We joined in on an impromptu yard sale today (hey, I made 40 bucks! 🤷‍♀️), so it‘s a little slower than anticipated but all matches will be sent out by the end of the night. Witch‘s word. ✌🏻🔮

Everything‘s all set up... sending the emails just takes a little bit of time (lots of copying & pasting & making sure I‘m sending the right thing to the right person).

SOON. 🌕

JoScho Thanks for all of your hard work. It is a job. 🖤 6y

SMayWrites I'm sure you're doing a marvelous job! Have a glass of wine! 🍷Sorry for bothering you about it 6y

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego Thanks for all the hard work. 6y

monalyisha @SMayWrites It‘s okay! No problem. And as for the wine... you don‘t have to tell me twice! 😉🍷 6y

monalyisha Thanks @JoScho & @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego! It *was* a job; I knew finding the right swap-mate for everyone would be a challenge but I didn‘t realize how loooong it would take to physically send the matches. Whew! 😅 Thank goodness it‘s a long weekend for me. 😉 6y

The #WitchPleaseSwap is officially closed... but we have an uneven number of participants! Therefore, I‘m putting out a call to arms (of Littens - to add to the eye of newt).

I need one more person to join our “coven.” The first person who emails me at monalyisha@gmail.com will be the winning weirdo.

Minimum commitment is 2 books & 2 thematic goodies. Please tag any friends who might be interested!

UPDATE: THE SPOT‘S BEEN TAKEN! 🙏🏻🔮

MirrorMask I'm fine having two, if that helps 🤗 6y

monalyisha @MirrorMask I‘m just awaiting a final confirmation but I‘m 99.9% sure we‘re all set. Thanks for offering! I‘ll reach out if anything goes awry. 🖤 6y

Today (8/27) is the LAST DAY for sign-ups!

The registration form will close at midnight (the witching hour) & no amount of magic will reopen it — so register now! 🔮

https://goo.gl/forms/xUyhSsJ46ylJFR7B2

The #WitchPleaseSwap is all about witchy magic & feminine power (either in fiction, practice, or both).

Minimum commitment is 2 books + 2 goodies.

RavenLovelyReads Hi- I know it‘s closed but there were things going on keeping me from signing up from stuff....IF there‘s someone needing a partner- would you consider one more participant? Volunteering if there‘s a need for another 🙋🏻‍♀️ 6y

monalyisha Hi @RavenLovelyReads! We don‘t have need for another participant at this time... but if any issues arise & someone needs a match as the month progresses, I‘ll definitely reach out. Thanks for offering (& sorry you missed the deadline)! 🖤 6y

RavenLovelyReads @monalyisha Thanks!! 6y

WHOA... guess which writing implement I randomly pulled out of my junk drawer when I started to organize the #WitchPleaseSwap list? 😱🔮

...which reminds me: these little guys would make a great addition to a swap package!

You can find (a version of) them here:
https://etsy.me/2Nkvrmh

*note: your position on this list has absolutely no connection to who you‘ll be matched with; it‘s just to make sure I‘ve gotten everyone!😉

monalyisha If you‘re still looking to sign-up, registration is open through the end of tomorrow (8/27): https://goo.gl/forms/xUyhSsJ46ylJFR7B2 6y

mrsmarch I see people I know on that list! 6y

After multiple attempts I was finally able to sign up for the #WitchPleaseSwap . I had to fill out the form on my computer, my phone was doing weird things to the doc. This will be my first #LitsySwap. I'm so excited.

Are you interested in magic, nature, spells, spirituality, spookiness, &/or feminine power? If so, register for the #WitchPleaseSwap gift exchange! There are only a few days left to sign-up! 🔮

https://goo.gl/forms/xUyhSsJ46ylJFR7B2

Minimum commitment is 2 books + 2 goodies.

I won‘t finalize the matches until the form officially closes, but I‘ll be starting to make a first draft of preliminary matches tonight.

So get in there, witches! 🖤

Alright. I made a simpler, cleaner #WitchPleaseSwap #StarChart template! If you‘re interested, repost & fill-in with your birthday & time.

If your match is interested in astrology, they may want to try their hand at making you a personalized star chart! (It would require you sharing some limited personal info, such as your age).

Have fun! 🌚🔮🎉
