At 6 years of age, I punched my 9-year-old brother in the gut. The little torturer deserved it. More than that, I deserved to be defended. So I defended myself. That was a badass moment for me.

Now, I don’t recommend violence. But I was 6, I had no one else to go to.

To be a badass, witches need to know what they stand for. They also need to know what they will not tolerate.

I have three insights for you.

1. Experience Inspiration from the Warrior Goddess Athena.

Athena is known to be related to wisdom, crafts, and warfare. I knit, brew wine and mead, make soap, and more. In the past, I painted with oil paints, and I have created jewelry.

The Badass Boundary is to Reserve time for your creativity.

“Your habits define who you’re being.
Your boundaries define the space you require
in order to be who you’re being.” – Jen Sincero

What activity do you like to do? Do you feel called to create something? Something artistic?

2. Experience inspiration from the Goddess Brigid.

Brigid is connected to wisdom, healing, protection, poetry, smithing, and domesticated animals. My cat, Magick, just jumped on my lap. I have the connecting with animals covered. For example, years ago, I volunteered at The Peninsula Humane Society. I took care of the small animals—known as pocket pets.

The Badass Boundary is to Reserve time for connecting with flora and fauna in the world.

Do you enjoy having a pet? Do you have any interest in having a familiar?

3. Experience inspiration from the Goddess Venus.

Venus is related to love, desire, sex, fertility, beauty, prosperity, and victory.

The Badass Boundary is to Reserve time for your personal victories.

I made the first move to bring my husband into my life. It took courage. And he’s sure glad I expressed interest! Lucky guy!

How do you want to feel? In what area of your life can you move forward? What can be a small step toward your next personal victory?

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
