I'm working my way through a series of short poetic pieces about the trees associated with Irish folklore on my website. It's a joy to learn about each spirit, and I'm really enjoying the project. Feedback welcome! sistersspellbound.com/written-magic #druidsky #pagansky #irishmagic #witchsky

If I didn't have the grounding of community through Kathy Scott's Scoil Scairte program, great scholarly classes by patreon peeps, and a lot of tea, I wouldn't be surviving this insane timeline half as well as I am. #scoilscairte #witchsky #teawitch

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us:

“The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

The prompt was carrion.
I wrapped it in a Morrigan face, set it in a battlefield and then, I passed it back.

Your name is a carcass
That I keep under my tongue
Did you think I would discard you?
Nay, I leave you to rot there
Your blessed purgatory
Where you can ride in the warm dark
And survey the battlefield
Your hopes lie fallow
Carrion in the dirt
Did you think I would fall easy?

Good morning.
I don't know who did this, but I love you.

All treasures should be repatriated. Unpopular to some but required to get out of the role of colonialism.

#13DaysOfHalloween Day 9 is the Dracula parrot, living in New Guinea rainforests. They have hooked beaks and featherless heads, unlike other parrots, giving them a vulture appearance. While they look super spooky (and their calls sound like screams), the 🧛 parrot feeds almost exclusively on figs 🧪

The ‘Dracula parrot’ with a black head and beak that follow down its body till about mid-chest, where the feathers become bright red. The photo comes from the following link: https://www.discoverwildlife.com/animal-facts/birds/dracula-parrots

Is someone who uses drugs also a druggist though in the same way as a soloist, fascist, and herbalist? 😉

Washington state friends! Of all the grim things happening, one of the very grimmest is going into winter with SNAP benefits about to disappear. I'm trying to raise $10,000 between now and the week before Thanksgiving for Northwest Harvest.

Please donate if you can!

Solidarity Fund is raising funds for Northwest Harvest

Your gift ensures all Washingtonians can access the nutritious food they want & need.

Samhain

Sing a song
for the mistress
of the bones

the player
on the black keys
the darker harmonies

light jig
of shoe buckles
on a coffin lid
...

–John Montague, from “Ó Riada’s Farewell” in A Slow Dance (1975)

Crone... the most dangerous, the most radical, the most revolutionary woman in existence. This old woman stands between the worlds of rationality and mythos. She is the knucklebone on which these two worlds turn”

This song rang in my mind when I woke up:
"Sail away, sail away, sail away...
Carry me on the waves to the lands I've never been
Carry me on the waves to the lands I've never seen
We can sail, we can sail with the Orinoco Flow
We can sail, we can sail
(Sail away, sail away, sail away)" #witchsky

along the heather-stream
despite bald heels of rock,
despite the kissy mink,
despite a saintly air
until the stream runs dark
with what needs
to blacken out of you." Annemarie Ní Churreáin #poetry #Samhain #witchsky #druidsky #gaelige

"Drink these star-leafed nettles
and keep in your purse a fern.
To become invisible, say your charm
to the hill.
This is pagan.
This hill is Hill.
It will answer in bog-tongue
and occasional fire,
burning back at the earth 🧵1/2

Same. This is going to be a big change driver, as sad as it is, in my view, and I think it's one more brick in the wall of dawning realization for some people.
