Those solitary stones that keep silent watch, that persist across the rise and fall of our own petty kingdoms, are storytellers. When we learn the language of the Long Neolithic they speak across time. It is beholden on us to listen. – Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday

Incense offering (my own blend) to Cernunnos in our woods. It burned for quite a long time, and I had the sense that it was being deeply received. #cernunnos #oldways

The modern paraphrase "As Above, So Below" is based on the Latin translation of the second verse of the Emerald Tablet, "that which is above is like to that which is below". The Emerald Tablet first appeared in print around the 9th century, but is believed to come from older sources. #oldways

I was in dire need of new ritual garments, so I just ordered a few pieces that hopefully work well together. I am assisting with a Samhain ceremony this year, so I wanted something befitting the Old Ways, including this lovely hooded cloak.

New standing banner for my booth. I'm not sure about the picture of myself for...reasons, I may change it to something more gothic, but it will do for now. I also updated my logo.

I will be at this event, offering readings (tarot, runes, ogham), and selling my handmade magical items (witch bottles, candles, oils and powders). Arrive early, because this event has been incredibly busy in past years.

The Autumn issue of UK based Witches Magazine was released today, and I happen to have an article in it. They currently do not ship to the United States, because of the tariff nonsense. However, since I happen to be in the UK at the moment, the editor graciously sent me a copy.

Morning coffee at our flat in London, England. Pure bliss. Here's a look at the outside of where we're staying. It's not a hotel, but actual flats you can rent for the week. It looks remarkably like a certain location in a certain film.
