The witch works with cold realities. She walks the mud, she walks the mist. Puddles on the threshold of ice become her scrying pools. Trees become a black scratching against sky gift her a new secret language. No season is hollow of magics. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

Only one card today: Our Song. -The voices of the spirits, deity, the dead & the invisible are all around us…we just have to pay attention. They don’t talk to us in the way humans talk but in other quiet (or not so quiet) ways. Open your eyes & ears.

Christmas pic of the day.

10 Dec: Ukrainian #folklore tells of a kindly spider who decorated a poor family's fir tree with sparkling webs of silver. On #Christmas morning the threads magically transformed into tinsel. To this day spider ornaments and tinsel are hung on Christmas trees as thanks. #kindness

Today’s divination with the Embroidered Graveyard. Temptress - The Fates - The Morrigan. You may notice that the Temptress card has been visiting me a lot lately.

My Embroidered Graveyard divination today. Cherish Me - Mother - Temptress.

Commenting on this recently...Harder to find the things you want, genres you like, things you’re in the process of watching…then add everything you land on has FUKCING SOUND blasting. I hate it.

Happy Pansexual Pride Day for those who celebrate!

Apparently if you visit, you too can buy some 'legit' Santa juice for your own purposes. Not that I'd suggest they'd probably be a powerful addition to your personal workings & craft or anything, but... www.mentalfloss.com/article/5414...

I think I very much need this vibe for my own personal sartorial splendor. The blue/blue sparkly trimmed out robe makes a statement.

7 Dec: Legend tells of a bird with a broken wing who begged each tree for shelter from the cold. All the trees refused; only a fir tree offered it sanctuary. For this kindness the Frost King decreed that the North Wind should never blow away its leaves in winter. #FolkloreSunday

Hey. Yeah, you over there. I'm glad you're alive. Thank you for making your mark on this world. Without you, it wouldn't be as bright and beautiful. 💜

Just doing my part to keep the Satan in Christmas.

Goodnight. 🖼️ Rien Poortvliet

The 6 to 65 age bracket for girls day means we just played a few rounds of hide and seek after a few rounds of cranberry mimosas.

Do it!!! I started this as a family tradition last year, and everyone loves it… this is thanksgiving, but we’ll do it again as part of today’s festivities.

It was seen by the old people as one of the noble trees, and it was never cut down completely, although sprigs were often taken for the decoration and protection of homes. Some would ask permission first, and leave a piece of silver at the roots of the tree in thanks #folklore

My work week is done, now headed out to start the Girls' weekend festivities at home. No rest for the wicked, but at least it will be fun!

One of the best skeleton friends found today! hes a cutie, has not only worms but frog friends too.

Hope you’ve all been well behaved…

It seems awful early in the season for it to be -1F outside.

Spent my night replacing heating elements, thermocouples and relays in the kiln for the first time… that feel of walking away with it set to fire to 2200f is a bit nerve-wracking…

Katie sent me one of the first round of these when she was refining the package, & they're really beautiful! I have no hesitation in encouraging you to check it out. Her reading for me came with some bonus information that was both accurate & impactful. I'm really excited by what she's doing!

We have a work study in the office a few days a week and she's super nice and sweet and a REAL FUCKING TRASHPANDA when it comes to any of the leftovers, candy & snacks in the department. Had some day old donuts that were about to go away...and she's claimed them for lunch/dinner.

✨ I HOPE YOU MAKE IT ✨ The entire universe has worked too hard to put you exactly where you are, so against all the struggles in your way, I truly hope you make it ✨ And also have a joyful day ✨

Now with the madness of Thanksgiving and Black Friday weekend out of the way, I can finally get in the holiday spirit. #witchsky

December’s #FullMoon is the Cold Moon and Oak Moon. In this lunar month the #Yule All-Heal rite was kept: on its sixth day white-robed Druids cut mistletoe from the oak with a golden sickle. Given to each home, it was said to deepen prayers, stir dreams and seal a kiss of peace.
