By 2026, the Formalwear Rental market has matured into a multi-billion-dollar industry, significantly reducing the environmental impact of "Single-Use" fashion (clothes bought for one event and never worn again).

• Logistics and Hygiene Tech: 2026 rental platforms utilize Ozone-Cleaning and specialized UV-C sterilization tunnels that deep-clean delicate silks and suiting without the need for harsh dry-cleaning chemicals.

• AI Fit Optimization: To solve the "size mismatch" problem, platforms use 3D body-scanning apps. A user takes two photos, and the AI generates a "Digital Twin" to ensure the rented tuxedo or gown fits perfectly upon arrival, reducing return rates by 60%.

• Subscription Occasion-Wear: Many consumers now pay a monthly fee for a "Rotating Wardrobe," allowing them to rent high-end formalwear for weddings, galas, and corporate events as needed, effectively decentralizing the "closet."

I'm always curious to see how people react to the words Witch or Witchcraft. For some, it draws them in, but for others it feels more uncomfortable.

Some of this is the emotional imprint of the Burning Times, where anyone who was outside of a very small box of acceptability was persecuted and marked as "other" in a very dangerous way. If you'd like to dig deeper into that piece, I highly suggest Celeste Larsen's book 'Heal the Witch Wound'.

For me, I use the word very intentionally, in an effort to remove the fear around it and re-establish it as a way to invoke empowerment. Being a Witch, in my view, simply means you are aware of and in control of your own energy, and aware of the energy of others & the energies of all that surrounds you. Because of this, you're able to work with those energies…

Here is where we can get to know each other even more deeply.

Do you have a favorite pet you love to show pictures of?

Did you take a video of a beautiful sunset that you'd like to share?

Is there an event coming up that you're hosting or just excited about?

Do you have something happening with your own business you'd like to promote?

All of that and more you can share here!

Do you have a question for me, specifically? Curious about my history, path, methods, or practice? This is the topic to use for those questions.

As the owner of Hearth Magick, a practitioner, reader, healer, and teacher, I am committed to being an open book to those around me. Vulnerability begets vulnerability, and if we are to all embrace the immense power of the Divine Feminine in these times, we can begin by modeling this.

(Obviously some private or unrelated subjects are off-limits and I will address those if they arise.)

I am happy to share my journey, how it has shifted my perspective on humanity and everything surrounding it, and how I continue to work on moving through the world in a mindful way. I'd love to hear your stories, too!

Hello! This group topic is here to serve as a landing pad for all Past Life, Pre-birth Planning discussion and questions.

Whether you're just curious about the concepts and want more information, or perhaps you've had a facilitated regression or spontaneous regression into a Past Life and want to discuss that - this is the space to explore!

This topic exists for those of you who are readers, want to become readers, or somewhere in between. Here you can post spreads to get opinions on meaning, offer free practice spreads to others in the group, and discuss Tarot-related or Oracle Card-related questions or information.

I will also use this Topic to announce when my Tarot class is open again in late summer/fall.
