the trees you grew up with have not forgotten you. their branches still whisper your name in the breeze and their roots remember the paths your feet once traced through their shade.

My 3 Favorite Books ~ as a green witch 🧙🏼‍♀️

These three books have offered huge foundations to my practice and are ones I continue to reread time and time again to inspire and revive my practice and to welcome new wisdom by reading the words from a new perspective. They are great for green witches, druids, or anyone interested in nature based magic. 🌲

"Witches' Night" is here!

May Day Eve (Apr 30) is Walpurgisnacht (Walpurgis Night) across parts of Europe.

Known as "the other Halloween", it's a time when witches and evil spirits take to the skies for a little mischief.

The Bardic Tradition

I made a long thread explaining in detail all the symbolism in this piece when I first posted it. That's lost to time now, thanks Elon. I'll try to rewrite it to the best of my ability in an abridged form.

The basic gist is that its a visual representation of the ancient Gaelic bardic tradition. Seated in the center is St. Colmcille, composing an old Irish hymn to St. Brigid, "Brigit bé bithmaith". He is holding hazel nuts, symbols of knowledge / inspiration in Irish legend. On the two pillars on either side of him are King David (left) and Orpheus (right), two famous poets from antiquity. Two legendary poets from Irish legend, Oisín and Amergin, are situated above each pillar respectively. The two fish are seen swimming "upstream" (as in the legend of the Salmon of Knowledge) toward a sheela na gig, a architectural feature / grotesque of early Irish churches which some consider to be symbols of femininity, meant to ward off evil. At the top of the image, hands from a cloud (representing God) release a white dove (representing the Holy Spirit) down to St. Brigid. She owes her angelic appearance to her being considered both a pagan goddess and Christian saint. She is guarding a flame, which symbolises poetic inspiration, and which can be seen floating above the heads of all the other figures.

If you're interested in a community that is Adult Witchcraft Folk Magic Intermediate to Advanced or just any "magic" path or faith that falls around these practices, I've started a community for one.

It's geared to not include very baby witch information/inquiries. For me, that content no longer serves me. Its also a safe space for information on magical concepts that you may not want to discuss with children/minors.

We still need a lot more interactions and community involvement and its almost spring! When I think a lot of us start to defrosting lmao.

Request to join if you're interested! 🕯
