A chant for a Goddess of poets on Her day..which has just been recognized as a national holiday in Ireland! #speakitthrice #anniespells BRIGID Ring, ring, ring, ring! Hammers fall. Your gold will all be beaten over sudden flaming fire moving from you, the pyre. Sweeten your cauldron, until the sun runs with one flame through the day and the healing water will sing, linger on tongues, burn away. from Spells: New and Selected Poems by Annie Finch (Wesleyan University Press, 2013) #speakitthrice #anniespells https://www.instagram.com/p/CoIumDYPXwe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s quite a feeling for a poet, after a lifetime in the poetry corner, to see my little book right there on the shelf with the other books that regular people read... #PoetryWitchLittleBookofSpells #crossovers #everybodyneedsmagic #poetryofinstagram #poetrywitch #anniespells #anniefinch @busboysandpoets @weslpress https://www.instagram.com/p/B4cW017hZxG/?igshid=1lsje2vzn09iw

The more I read and learn about the ways of patriarchy the more clear it is that abortion bans are the advance guard of patriarchal fascism...from medieval Ireland (as described in the great book by Mary Condren, The Serpent and the Goddess) to contemporary Muslim and Catholic patriarchal hells. My anthology Choice Words Writers on Abortion shows the same kinds of oppressive patterns in the literature of 6 centuries & 5 continents. Posting this poem in solidarity with our sisters in Texas, and all over the US, and all over the world!

Filmed by the talented @eliciasara for the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies. Thank you to my beautiful coven sister @thepeacefulpagan for posting this record of our path #blessedbe.

It's the Witches' new year!—time to dive deep into our core powers. I will be celebrating my own birthday, and with it the lives and spirits of the Dead who have gone before. Today is a good time to share our messages with them, through fire (burning notes in a candle) or water or earth. Wishing you a very blessed and happy Samhain! #Samhain #halloween2019  #Samhain2019 #SamhainBlessings #anniespells #ancestors #poetrywitch #witches @weslpress @WitchWavePod https://www.instagram.com/p/B4SZlCOhGYm/?igshid=n9cz9b7by5cr
