Creating Your Neurodivergent Witch Curriculum for 2026

Neurodivergent Witch Curriculum: 12-Month Guide for 2026

I saw this trend on TikTok last year, people creating “personal curriculums” for their hobbies and interests. Learning Spanish? Make a curriculum. Getting into film? Make a curriculum and I thought… what if we created a neurodivergent witch curriculum that actually works with our brains instead of against them?

Here’s the thing about most spiritual learning plans: they assume you have consistent energy, reliable executive function, and the ability to “just commit” to something for a year. A truly neurodivergent witch curriculum needs to work differently.

So I’m creating a witch curriculum that works differently. This isn’t a plan you follow, it’s a menu you choose from. Some months you’ll dive deep. Other months? You’ll do absolutely nothing. There will be months where you hyperfixate and learn everything at once. All of that counts.

Below is the neurodivergent witch curriculum I’ll be using (and adjusting) throughout 2026. Each month has:

  • A learning focus (if you want one)
  • Reflection prompts (if you’re into that)
  • Grimoire ideas (if you have the capacity)
  • Neurodivergent adaptations (because your brain is different, not broken)

Nothing is rigid. Everything is optional. You can start in March, skip June entirely and do November three times. There’s no wrong way to do this.

Let’s build a practice that works with your actual brain.

What Is a Neurodivergent Witch Curriculum?

A neurodivergent witch curriculum is a flexible, permission-based learning framework designed specifically for ADHD, autistic and highly sensitive practitioners. Unlike traditional spiritual study plans, this curriculum prioritizes capacity over consistency, honors executive dysfunction and builds in explicit permission to skip, modify or abandon anything that doesn’t serve you.

TABLE OF CONTENTS


JANUARY: Foundations & Permission (Your Neurodivergent Witch Curriculum Starts Here)

January feels like a threshold: quiet, reflective and full of pressure to “start fresh”. But what if instead of forcing transformation, we just… notice what’s actually here?

Monthly Focus Ideas:

  • What does witchcraft mean to me right now (not what it should mean)
  • My core spiritual values (not the ones I inherited or saw on TikTok)
  • What I’m actually capable of vs. what I wish I could do
  • Tools and practices I want to explore (knowing I might abandon them)

Monthly Reflection:

  • What do I want to learn this year, knowing I probably won’t do it all?
  • What beliefs about my practice are based on neurotypical expectations?
  • What feels genuinely nourishing vs. what feels like another obligation?
  • What would my practice look like if I had unlimited energy? (Just curious, not aspirational)

Grimoire Ideas:

  • “My Path as a Witch” overview (in however many words you want – 5 is totally fine)
  • Word of the year (or don’t pick one, rebellion is valid)
  • “Things I’m Not Doing This Year” permission list
  • Personal ethics or boundaries (the ones you’ll actually keep)

✨ Neurodivergent Adaptations:

If you have low capacity this month: Just write “I’m a witch” on one page of your grimoire. That’s your foundation. You’re done.

If you’re hyperfixating: Research one specific tradition or practice for 6 hours straight. Go down every rabbit hole. Take notes or don’t. Enjoy the deep dive.

If you can only do ONE thing: Write down what kind of witch you DON’T want to be. Sometimes knowing what we’re moving away from is more useful than knowing where we’re going.

ADHD-friendly tip: Don’t start a new grimoire in January just because it’s a new year. Use whatever notebook is already half-full on your desk. Starting is more important than perfect.

Sensory consideration: If writing feels like too much, voice record your thoughts. Your grimoire can be audio files. Magic doesn’t require hand cramps.


FEBRUARY: Energy Awareness & Your Actual Capacity

February is cold, dark and exhausting. Instead of fighting that, what if we just… listened?

Monthly Focus Ideas:

  • What does “energy” actually feel like in my body (not metaphors, actual sensations)
  • The difference between intuition and anxiety (they feel similar but aren’t the same)
  • Recognizing my capacity before I’m already burnt out
  • How my energy shifts with moon phases, seasons, medication, sleep, food

Monthly Reflection:

  • When did I feel most energetically aligned this month? (What was I doing? Who was I with? What had I eaten?)
  • What signs does my body give me before I crash? (Do I get irritable? Nauseous? Spacey?)
  • When did I push past my capacity? What happened?
  • How do I best receive intuitive information? (Gut feelings? Random thoughts? Physical sensations? Dreams? Memes?)

Grimoire Ideas:

  • Energy sensations reference page (tingling = excitement, heaviness = dread, etc.)
  • “Signs I’m Overextended” checklist (personalized to YOUR body)
  • Intuition journal (track hunches and whether they were right)
  • “Things That Drain Me vs. Things That Recharge Me” lists

✨ Neurodivergent Adaptations:

If you have low capacity this month: Just notice one thing: Do you feel better or worse after doing magic? That’s data. Write it down or don’t.

If you’re hyperfixating: Deep dive into energy work, psychic development or intuitive practices. Read everything. Try everything. See what sticks.

If you can only do ONE thing: Track your energy for one week. Rate it 1-10 each day. Notice patterns. That’s it.

ADHD-friendly tip: Set a phone reminder to check in with your body twice a day. “How do I feel right now?” Answer in three words or less.

Autism-friendly adaptation: If “energy” feels too vague, track concrete things instead: hours of sleep, meals eaten, social interactions, sensory overload moments. Energy is just… how your body responds to inputs.

Chronic illness consideration: Your “low energy” baseline is someone else’s crash day. Adjust these practices to YOUR range. A 4/10 energy day might be your 7/10. That’s fine.

MARCH: Lunar Cycles & What Actually Happens

March is the bridge between winter and spring. The moon is still doing its thing whether we’re paying attention or not.

Monthly Focus Ideas:

  • New moon vs. full moon energy (do I actually feel different or is this placebo?)
  • Creating realistic lunar rituals (3 minutes counts)
  • Tracking emotional cycles (PMS? Medication changes? Moon? All of the above?)
  • What moon phase feels most supportive to me (might not be what the books say)

Monthly Reflection:

  • How does my energy actually shift with the moon? (Or does it?)
  • Which moon phases feel most supportive? (It’s okay if full moons wreck you)
  • What patterns am I noticing? (Sleep? Mood? Appetite? Motivation?)
  • Am I forcing myself to do moon rituals because I “should” or because they genuinely help?

Grimoire Ideas:

  • Moon phase meanings (personal to YOU, not from a book)
  • Monthly moon tracking spread (energy, mood, capacity, what happened)
  • Simple lunar ritual templates (that take less than 5 minutes)
  • “Moons I’m Skipping This Month” permission log

✨ Neurodivergent Adaptations:

If you have low capacity this month: Just look at the moon once. Notice if it’s full, new or something in between. That’s moon work.

If you’re hyperfixating: Deep dive into lunar astrology, moon gardening, historical moon worship or astrophysics. Learn everything. Build a moon altar. Go feral.

If you can only do ONE thing: Set a phone reminder for the full moon and new moon. When it goes off, take three deep breaths. That’s your ritual.

ADHD-friendly tip: You will forget about the moon. That’s fine. There’s another one in 29.5 days. The moon is not mad at you.

If you can’t see the moon: You live in a city, it’s cloudy, you work nights or you just don’t want to go outside. The moon’s energy is still there. You don’t have to see it to work with it.

For the “all or nothing” brain: You don’t have to do rituals for EVERY moon phase. Pick one. Or none. The moon will continue to exist regardless of your participation.

Real talk: If tracking the moon makes you feel worse (more pressure, more guilt, more “I’m not doing enough”), skip this month entirely. The moon is not a productivity tool.


APRIL: Seasonal Magic & Where You Actually Live

April invites us back outside. Or not. Depends on your climate, your energy and whether you even like being outside.

Monthly Focus Ideas:

  • Seasonal energy where I actually live (not where the books say spring should be)
  • Observing what’s happening around me (plants, weather, animals, people)
  • Apartment-friendly nature magic (windowsill counts)
  • How do I connect with nature when I’m chronically indoors?

Monthly Reflection:

  • How does my local environment influence my practice? (Or does it?)
  • What seasonal signs stood out to me? (Even tiny ones such as a bird, a flower, warmer air)
  • How do I feel when I spend time outdoors? (Good? Overstimulated? Anxious? Peaceful?)
  • Is “nature connection” something I genuinely want or something I think I should want?

Grimoire Ideas:

  • Seasonal observations pages (what’s actually happening outside your window)
  • Nature notes and sketches (or photos/desciptions/nothing)
  • Local seasonal correspondences (not from a book but from YOUR area)
  • “Things I Noticed This Month” list (weather, animals, plants, smells, sounds)

✨ Neurodivergent Adaptations:

If you have low capacity this month: Open a window. Breathe outside air for 30 seconds. That’s nature magic.

If you’re hyperfixating: Deep dive into foraging, herbalism, local ecology, native plants or seasonal folklore. Become an expert on one local plant.

If you can only do ONE thing: Take one photo of something outside. That’s your nature observation for the month.

ADHD-friendly tip: You don’t have to go on nature walks. Looking out the window counts. Watching birds from your couch counts. Nature magic doesn’t require hiking boots.

Sensory consideration: Outside is loud, bright, unpredictable and full of bugs. If that’s overwhelming, bring nature inside: houseplants, flowers, stones, feathers, photos.

Apartment dweller adaptation: You don’t need a garden or access to wilderness. A potted herb, a windowsill crystal or watching clouds from your balcony is still nature magic.

For the chronically indoor witch: Some of us are inside for reasons: disability, agoraphobia, sensory needs, safety, weather, health. Your magic is still valid. Nature exists inside too, you’re made of it.


MAY: Spellcraft & What Actually Works in Your Witch Curriculum

May is when we start consciously shaping energy. Or trying to. Or wondering if any of this is real.

Monthly Focus Ideas:

  • Crafting simple spells (that don’t require 47 ingredients)
  • Creating personal rituals (that take less than 10 minutes)
  • Understanding intention vs. outcome (sometimes nothing happens)
  • What makes a spell feel “real” to me?

Monthly Reflection:

  • What intentions felt most aligned this month?
  • How did my spells or rituals feel energetically? (Did they feel powerful? Silly? Neutral?)
  • What would I adjust next time? (Or would I just skip it?)
  • When did I feel most connected to my magic?

Grimoire Ideas:

  • Personal spell framework (your process, not someone else’s)
  • Ritual planning pages (or just notes scribbled on your phone)
  • Completed spell reflections (what worked, what didn’t, what was weird)
  • “Spells I’m Not Doing” list (jar spells that require 3 weeks of daily attention? Hard pass)

✨ Neurodivergent Adaptations:

If you have low capacity this month: Light a candle with intention. Blow it out. That’s a spell. You cast a spell.

If you’re hyperfixating: Learn everything about one type of magic: candle magic, sigils, kitchen witchcraft, knot magic, cord cutting. Master it. Write a grimoire chapter.

If you can only do ONE thing: Write down one thing you want. Put it somewhere you’ll see it. That’s a spell.

ADHD-friendly tip: Most spells don’t require follow-up. If a spell needs daily attention for a month, it’s not ADHD-friendly. Pick spells you can cast and forget.

Executive dysfunction hack: Pre-make spell kits: put everything you need in a bag or box. When you have energy, grab the bag. No gathering supplies, no decisions.

Autism-friendly adaptation: Spellwork with strict instructions can feel comforting. Use templates, follow recipes, stick to what’s written. That’s valid. Spellwork that requires improvisation can feel overwhelming. Scripts are magic too.

For the “did it even work?” brain: Sometimes you won’t know if a spell worked. Sometimes the result is subtle. Sometimes nothing happens. Cast it anyway. The practice is the point.


JUNE: Tools, Objects & Stuff You Don’t Need

June is about relationship with tools. Not collecting them, connecting with them. Or realizing you don’t need them at all.

Monthly Focus Ideas:

  • One or two tools to actually use (not just own)
  • Cleansing and charging practices (that make sense to you)
  • Tool symbolism (what does this object mean to ME?)
  • What do I reach for naturally vs. what do I think I should use?

Monthly Reflection:

  • Which tools do I naturally reach for? (Even if they’re “not witchy”)
  • How do tools enhance (or distract from) my practice?
  • What feels truly sacred to me? (It might not be crystals)
  • Am I collecting tools to avoid actually doing magic?

Grimoire Ideas:

  • Tool profiles (one page per tool you actually use)
  • Care and cleansing logs (if you remember to cleanse things)
  • Tool symbolism pages (personal meanings, not book meanings)
  • “Tools I Bought and Never Use” honesty list

✨ Neurodivergent Adaptations:

If you have low capacity this month: Pick one object. Hold it. That’s your tool relationship for the month.

If you’re hyperfixating: Research the history, geology, folklore and magical properties of one tool. Buy 17 versions of it. Become the local expert on that specific thing.

If you can only do ONE thing: Use your hands. Your body is a tool. You don’t need anything else.

ADHD-friendly tip: Keep your most-used tools in one place. A basket, a box, a shelf. If you have to hunt for your lighter every time, you won’t do the ritual.

Shopping addiction consideration: Buying tools feels like progress. It’s not. If you have more than 10 unused crystals, you don’t need more tools, you need to use the ones you have. (Or admit you just like shiny things, which is also fine.)

Minimalist witch option: You don’t need tools. You don’t need an altar. You don’t need supplies. Magic works with or without objects. If tools stress you out, skip them.

Sensory consideration: Some tools feel good to hold (smooth stones, soft fabric). Some don’t (scratchy herbs, sticky resin). Choose tools based on texture, weight and how they feel in your hands.

Creating Your Neurodivergent Witch Curriculum for 2026

JULY: Boundaries, Power & Saying No

July feels bold. This month is about sovereignty – knowing where your energy begins and ends.

Monthly Focus Ideas:

  • Personal power vs. force (one is sustainable, one isn’t)
  • Energetic boundaries and protection (what does that even mean?)
  • Saying no as a spiritual practice (revolutionary for people-pleasers)
  • What drains me vs. what empowers me?

Monthly Reflection:

  • Where do I feel most empowered? (Probably not where you’d expect)
  • Where do I leak energy? (People? Places? Situations? Tasks?)
  • How does my body signal energetic overwhelm? (Headache? Fatigue? Dissociation?)
  • When did I say yes when I meant no?

Grimoire Ideas:

  • Boundary-setting rituals (simple ones, not 45-minute ceremonies)
  • Energy protection practices (that actually work for you)
  • “Signs I’m Overextended” awareness list
  • “People/Places/Things That Drain Me” honest inventory

✨ Neurodivergent Adaptations:

If you have low capacity this month: Say no to one thing. That’s a boundary. You practiced magic.

If you’re hyperfixating: Deep dive into protection magic, shielding techniques, cord-cutting, banishing or shadow work around boundaries.

If you can only do ONE thing: Notice one time this month when you felt drained. Write down what happened. That’s data.

ADHD-friendly tip: Your “no” doesn’t need an explanation. “I can’t” is a complete sentence. Practice saying it.

Autism-friendly adaptation: Social situations are exhausting. That’s not a moral failing, that’s how your nervous system works. Protecting your energy might mean canceling plans, leaving early or saying no to gatherings. That’s valid.

People-pleaser warning: If you’re reading this and thinking “but I can’t say no because [long explanation]”… that’s exactly why you need this month.

Chronic illness consideration: Your body already has boundaries. Pain, fatigue and symptoms are your body saying “no”. Listen to that. It’s sacred information.


AUGUST: Creativity, Expression & Making Stuff

August is warm, bright and creative. Magic moves through making things: art, writing, cooking, music, whatever.

Monthly Focus Ideas:

  • Creative magic practices (making art with intention)
  • Infusing intention into creative projects (your painting is a spell)
  • Witchcraft as self-expression (not just following rules)
  • What mediums feel magical to me? (It might be spreadsheets, honestly)

Monthly Reflection:

  • How does creativity shift my energy? (Does it recharge or drain me?)
  • What mediums feel most magical to me? (Drawing? Writing? Music? Spreadsheets? Organizing?)
  • Where do I feel most alive when creating?
  • Am I making things I want to make or things I think I should make?

Grimoire Ideas:

  • Creative spell experiments (collage, painting, poetry as spells)
  • Art-as-magic spreads (visual grimoire pages)
  • Color, symbol and texture correspondences (your personal ones)
  • “Creative Practices That Feel Like Magic” list

✨ Neurodivergent Adaptations:

If you have low capacity this month: Doodle one symbol. Scribble with intention. That’s creative magic.

If you’re hyperfixating: Make 47 versions of the same sigil. Fill an entire sketchbook. Write a 30-page spell. Create obsessively. It counts.

If you can only do ONE thing: Color one page in a coloring book with intention. That’s enough.

ADHD-friendly tip: Unfinished creative projects are not failures. They’re experiments. Your grimoire can be full of half-finished pages. That’s fine.

Perfectionism warning: Your art doesn’t have to be good to be magic. Ugly sigils work. Bad drawings work. Messy paintings work. The intention matters, not the skill.

Sensory consideration: Some art supplies feel good (smooth markers, soft pencils). Some don’t (smelly paint, scratchy paper, sticky glue). Choose based on texture and scent.

For the “I’m not creative” brain: Creativity isn’t just art. Organizing your altar is creative. Arranging crystals is creative. Making a playlist is creative. Writing a grocery list with intention is creative magic.


SEPTEMBER: Integration, Wisdom & Letting Go (Neurodivergent Curriculum Check-In)

September is not about learning something new. It’s about looking at what actually happened this year and being honest about it.

Monthly Focus Ideas:

  • Reviewing the year’s practices so far (what did I actually do vs. what I planned?)
  • Identifying core spiritual habits (the ones that stuck without effort)
  • Letting go of what didn’t resonate (even if it “should” have worked)
  • Accepting that some months I did nothing and that’s fine

Monthly Reflection:

  • What practices truly stayed with me? (Not the ones I think I should do, the ones I naturally reached for)
  • How has my understanding of witchcraft changed since January?
  • What feels essential versus optional? (Be ruthlessly honest)
  • What am I doing out of obligation vs. genuine desire?
  • What did I abandon that I thought I’d love? (And why is that okay?)

Grimoire Ideas:

  • “My Current Practice” overview (write what you’re ACTUALLY doing, not what you wish you were doing)
  • Lessons learned this year (the uncomfortable ones count more)
  • Practices I’m releasing and why (permission to quit)
  • “Things I Thought I’d Do But Didn’t” list (no shame, just observation)

✨ Neurodivergent Adaptations:

If you have low capacity this month: Just write one sentence: “I’m still a witch”. That’s your integration.

If you’re hyperfixating: Review every note, every ritual, every moon phase from the entire year. Make spreadsheets. Cross-reference everything. Build a year-in-review presentation.

If you can only do ONE thing: Name one thing you learned about yourself this year. That’s it.

ADHD-friendly tip: You probably didn’t do most of the things you planned to do this year. That’s not failure, that’s data. What you DID do (even the small stuff) matters more.

Autism-friendly adaptation: If reflecting on the past feels overwhelming, just focus on this month. What worked this month? What didn’t? That’s enough.

For the “all or nothing” brain: September is not about “getting back on track”. There is no track. There’s just what works and what doesn’t. Release the rest.

Permission slip: If you started this neurodivergent witch curriculum in January and fell off by March… you can start again here. September is a threshold too. You don’t have to catch up.

Real talk: Some of the practices you loved in January might feel stale now. Some of the tools you bought might be collecting dust. Some of the books you started might never get finished. That doesn’t mean you failed. It means you’re learning what actually fits.


OCTOBER: Ancestors, Death & What We Carry

October deepens everything. This month is about what we inherit (genetically, spiritually, culturally) and what we choose to keep.

Monthly Focus Ideas:

  • Honoring spiritual ancestors (not just blood relatives)
  • Learning from traditions and stories (with respect, not appropriation)
  • Ethical engagement with lineage (yours and others’)
  • What wisdom am I inheriting? What cycles am I breaking?

Monthly Reflection:

  • What wisdom am I inheriting? (Skills, beliefs, trauma, strengths?)
  • What cycles am I breaking? (Patterns I refuse to continue)
  • What does remembrance mean to me? (Beyond just “thinking of” people)
  • Who are my spiritual ancestors? (Teachers, authors, artists, activists who shaped me)

Grimoire Ideas:

  • Ancestor pages (blood, spiritual, chosen family)
  • Lineage reflections (what I carry, what I’m releasing)
  • Seasonal remembrance rituals (Samhain-focused or not)
  • “What I’m Breaking” list (generational patterns ending with me)

✨ Neurodivergent Adaptations:

If you have low capacity this month: Light a candle. Say one name. That’s ancestor work.

If you’re hyperfixating: Genealogy research. Family tree building. Ancestor altar construction. Historical deep dives into cultural practices. DNA test analysis. Go all in.

If you can only do ONE thing: Think of one person who came before you who would be proud of you. That’s it.

ADHD-friendly tip: Ancestor work doesn’t require elaborate altars or daily offerings. A photo, a candle and 30 seconds of acknowledgment is enough.

Trauma consideration: Not everyone has healthy relationships with their blood family. Your spiritual ancestors: the authors, artists, teachers, activists who shaped you count just as much. You get to choose your lineage.

Autism-friendly adaptation: If “feeling connected” to ancestors sounds abstract, focus on concrete things: recipes they made, objects they owned, skills they had, places they lived.

For the estranged: You don’t owe your family connection. If honoring blood ancestors feels harmful, skip it. Honor the people who actually cared for you instead.

Cultural sensitivity note: If you’re drawn to ancestor practices from cultures not your own, pause. Learn the difference between appreciation and appropriation. Honor your own lineage first.


NOVEMBER: Rest, Shadow & The Dark Season

November invites quiet. This is the month we stop producing and just… be.

Monthly Focus Ideas:

  • Rest as spiritual practice (not as reward for productivity)
  • Gentle shadow work (the stuff you avoid looking at)
  • Listening instead of doing (radical in a world that demands output)
  • What surfaces when I slow down?

Monthly Reflection:

  • What surfaced when I slowed down? (Feelings, memories, truths you’ve been avoiding?)
  • What needs compassion right now? (In yourself, not someone else)
  • What am I integrating? (From this year, this month, this day)
  • When did I push through when I should have rested?

Grimoire Ideas:

  • Shadow prompts (gentle ones – no need to traumatize yourself)
  • Rest rituals (permission to do nothing)
  • Integration notes (things you’re still processing)
  • “What I’m Avoiding” honest list

✨ Neurodivergent Adaptations:

If you have low capacity this month: Sleep. That’s the magic. You’re doing it.

If you’re hyperfixating: Deep dive into shadow work, psychology, inner child healing or rest research. Read everything about rest. Then actually rest (this is the hard part).

If you can only do ONE thing: Take one nap with intention. Call it shadow work.

ADHD-friendly tip: Rest is not scrolling. Rest is not “relaxing” while anxious. Rest is doing absolutely nothing and being okay with it. That’s the practice.

Burnout warning: If you’re reading this and can’t remember the last time you rested, this month is for you. Not “self-care Sunday” rest. Actual, deep, restorative rest.

Autism-friendly adaptation: Rest looks different for everyone. For some, it’s silence. For others, it’s repetitive activities (stimming, organizing, special interests). Rest is whatever recharges YOUR nervous system.

Depression consideration: If you’re depressed, rest might feel like giving up. It’s not. Rest is how you survive. Survival is magic.

Shadow work safety: Shadow work is not about digging up every trauma. It’s about gently noticing what you usually avoid. If it feels unsafe, stop. Get support. Therapy is also magic.


DECEMBER: Reflection, Closure & Beginnings

December closes the circle. But circles don’t really end, they loop back around.

Monthly Focus Ideas:

  • Reviewing the entire year (without judgment)
  • Honoring growth (even if it was just survival)
  • Preparing for renewal (or not, rest is valid too)
  • What seeds am I planting for next year?

Monthly Reflection:

  • How did I change this year? (Be specific, be honest)
  • What am I proud of? (Including tiny things, showing up counts)
  • What am I ready to call in next year? (Or what am I ready to release?)
  • What do I want to carry forward? (Practices, beliefs, relationships, tools)

Grimoire Ideas:

  • Year-in-review spreads (visual or written)
  • Lessons & gratitude lists (the hard lessons count too)
  • Seeds for the coming year (intentions, not goals)
  • “What I’m Releasing” final list (burn it, bury it or just write it down)

✨ Neurodivergent Adaptations:

If you have low capacity this month: You survived 2026. That’s the magic. Write that down.

If you’re hyperfixating: Create elaborate year-in-review spreads. Color-coded calendars. Detailed reflections. Data analysis of your entire spiritual practice. Make it a project.

If you can only do ONE thing: Write three words describing this year. That’s your reflection.

ADHD-friendly tip: You don’t have to plan 2027. You don’t have to set intentions. You don’t have to make resolutions. December is for closing, not opening. Rest first.

For the “I didn’t do enough” brain: You did enough. Did you only do two months? That’s enough. Skipped most of it? Still enough. All you did was survive? That absolutely counts.

Perfectionism reminder: Your spiritual practice doesn’t need to be optimized. You don’t need to do more, learn more or be more. You’re allowed to just… be. That’s revolutionary.

Permission slip: If this neurodivergent witch curriculum didn’t work for you, that’s fine. If you modified everything, that’s fine. If you ignored it entirely, that’s fine. The point was never to follow rules, it was to explore what works for YOUR brain.


CLOSING THE YEAR’S neurodivergent witch CURRICULUM

To close the year, if you have the capacity, create a final anchor:

Core Beliefs & Values: What do I actually believe about magic? (Not what books say but what feels true to me)

Daily, Weekly & Seasonal Practices: What actually stuck? (Not what I wish stuck but what naturally stayed)

A Vision for 2027: How do I want my magic to feel? (Not look… FEEL!)


HOW TO USE THIS neurodivergent witch CURRICULUM WITHOUT SPIRALING

Permission slips you didn’t know you needed:

✅ You can skip months
✅ You can do months out of order
✅ You can do the same month multiple times
✅ You can ignore this entirely
✅ You can modify everything
✅ You can fall behind and never catch up
✅ You can quit and come back six months later
✅ You can just read it and never do it
✅ You can use this as a reference, not a plan

What this NEURODIVERGENT WITCH curriculum is NOT:

❌ A rigid plan you must follow
❌ A way to become a “better” witch
❌ Something you can fail at
❌ Proof you’re not doing enough
❌ A replacement for rest
❌ Another productivity tool
❌ A way to “fix” yourself


This neurodivergent witch curriculum isn’t about mastery. It’s about relationship with knowledge, with self and with the quiet magic of becoming.

I’ll be using this neurodivergent witch curriculum throughout 2026, adapting it as I go. You’re welcome to join me. Or not. Both are valid.

This is your practice. It works with your brain. You make the rules.

Blessed be, ✨ Nono
