I had a tea with mugwort last night for the full moon 🌿

Hillfort walk this morning ☀️ the land is waking and the transition to spring is here! #witchsky #pagansky

Thank you to my parents for my new rosemary and thyme plants ♥️ 🌿 can't wait to nurture these two beautiful herbs to be full, healthy, lively, and protective #witchsky #herbalism

Today's unpopular opinion: Cord cutting should involve the active use of a sharp tool to cut an actual cord. Watching and waiting for a candle to burn a cord is passive. There are many ways to do things but some things are more effective than others. #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky

I can't believe I'm waking up to the sound of songbirds! I could never hear them from my old rented place, and I haven't heard them in the morning since I lived with my parents. I'm actually quite emotional that I have my own home and I can hear a blackbird in the garden in the morning 😭 🐦

While decluttering I found a stick I picked up over 5 years ago at the ancient abandoned settlement near tullymurdoch. Today it has become a pretty piece to hang my necklaces! #witchsky #witchcraft #pagansky

Today @selkieandhare.bsky.social and I attended a herbal tea and bath salt workshop run by our local herbalist collective 🌿 🌹 #witchsky #pagansky

Such a beautiful #Imbolg and full moon with my witchy bestie @selkieandhare.bsky.social Snowdrop festival, finding an ancient holy well behind the ruins of an abbey, and cheese by the fire 🔥 #witchsky #pagansky #scotland

Day Five of gentle, unfussy witchcraft. This one is for Imbolc. #witchsky

#imbolg crafts 🌿 #witchsky #pagansky

May have been a bit daft today, clambering about slippery rocks in a storm to collect water from an ancient holy well, then to get rushes to make a cros Brìde for #Imbolg The pics don't capture just how wild the sea was! It isnt snow in the 3rd pic but spume from the sea!! 🌊 #witchsky #pagansky

Getting so excited for imbolg and the full moon this weekend!!! One of my absolute fave times of year 🌿 ❄️ snowdrops, frost, teeny tiny buds on a few trees, and the gently growing light ☀️ #imbolg #witchsky #pagansky

It's now light enough for me to comfortably drive my preferred route to work through the hills and farmland - snowdrops are beginning to come up and the sheep look cosy in their winter wool 🐑 i love this time of year! #imbolg #witchsky #pagansky

A prayer to Brighid in troubled times

Had such a lovely day at my local herbalist collective meet up 🌿 today we were studying rosemary! Participating in a wee community, learning new things, drinking healing herbal teas 🍵 feeding my whole health!

I'm terrible for wanting to "correct" mistakes and misinformation so hear me out here: A lot of Imbolg posts state that the sabbat is about new life and lambs being born - it is not! Imbolg signals the ewes beginning to lactate - they are pregnant, but not get giving birth #witchsky #pagansky

I have to keep remembering to forgive myself. I don't need to be energised and active. I can relax, avoid an exercise, half-do a job. This isn't laziness, this is building back my resilience. The moon and the sun are waxing, and I can trust my energy to grow with them. #witchsky #pagansky

Today's #BlueSkyArtShow theme is #One Standing against the wrath of the ocean, a lone figure is unafraid, calling upon its ageless wisdom and power. #WitchSky #Ocean #Naiad

As if on cue this evening! Here is one poking her wee nose out of the water! I think she is waiting for the tide to go out a bit more and expose her fave resting rock 🩵 #selkie #folklore #scotland

January is such a dreadful time for starting up new projects - there's no way I can start back at the gym, eat salads for lunch, and make "resolutions" to begin now! This is the time for resting, clearing, cosying up ☕ work with the flow of the seasons, not against it #witchsky #pagansky

~ to hold a selkie coat, is to hold a body, but never a heart ~ to the sea she will return 🌊 My new tattoo! My favourite stories were always of the selkies. I still love visiting the seals that rest on the rocks near my family home. #folklore #pagansky #witchsky #tattoo

Holy wells and saining with water The call of oyster catchers across a still icy morning Rushes that grow fresh and green along the coast Sheep's cheese and oatcakes/bannocks

Folk magic loves found objects because meaning is portable. Micropractice: choose one small object you already own (stone, key, button). Give it one job: courage, protection, “remember to breathe.” Put it where you’ll see it, and each time you do, take one slow breath. #witchsky

I've been reading about my Appalachian hillbilly witch women ancestors and found this exerpt that made me pause. "Folk magic is what grows when power is limited but responsibility is not." Brb, gonna go think on that for a while. #Appalachia #witchsky #AmericanHistory

Although circle casting and opening isn't always necessary, this is one way that it can really help with structuring your rituals! As well as all the other benefits... #witchsky

I went to the antique centre today and bought a big stick. Images incoming

Making my flat a little more magical ✨ Now to just add the horseshoe above the door, and get a rowan cross made at Beltane #witchsky

By December, I will succeed in getting my first band 6 post! By August, I will have designed and implemented a forensic rehab group based on Recovery Through Activity 🕺 By February, I will have presented a talk to my team about the Human Givens approach and how it relates to OT!

Our visit to Dunino Den yesterday: a beautiful site with many powerful voices echoing in the rocks 🌿 we did a wee clean up because so much plastic can harm the beautiful trees and the river @selkieandhare.bsky.social #witchsky #pagansky #scotland

That's me fully moved into my new flat ✨ been a whirlwind end of 2025 and I'm so excited to be making this my home

It's here: the annual round-up of my favorite folk horror media! As always, these are not strictly 2025 releases but rather the movies I watched for the first time (mostly) throughout the year. What were your favorites?

Over halfway through my 8 week fitness program and I can't believe how much stronger and more together I feel in my body!

November 1st #occult #samhain

Had a lovely time at the Scottish #Pagan Federation Conference 2025 yesterday - I love connecting with and learning from pagans of all paths, and it was great to be back in my birth city of Edinburgh again ✨

Got a bit emotional this morning seeing all the autumn colours - hello home! 🍂🍁🍄

Visited Dunino Den today after being recommended it as a great site for pagans... To find it covered in rubbish. People keep tying bits of plastic to trees as a vague gesture to clootie well traditions, but it just hurts the land. I left the den with a full bag of litter..

It's taken 2 hours but I've managed to clean, clear, rearrange, and tidy the whole living room 😤🥱 only 4 more rooms in the flat to go!!

I keep revisiting The Outrun (2024) - her story hit me in such a personal way and the island on which it's set was a place I visited at a pivotal moment in my life. Going to read the book soon 🌊

Camping in Glen Etive last weekend was pure healing ⛰️ lots of swimming in Crystal clear water 🌊 #scotland #folkmagic

Nothing like pausing on my way to work to watch two hares running in a field under the bright morning sun ☀️ it seemed like they stopped to watch me for a bit too, a wee magical moment 🥰

Climbed up what felt like the windiest hill in the world today, surprised I wasn't blown right off the top! Worth it for the stunning views from the Tay and other Sidlaws, right to Shiehallion, Ben Mor, and the Angus Glens #scotland

As a pagan with an atheist partner having to explain not to wash up the offerings on the altar when he asks: "so uhh.. The things in the spare room [referring to the oatcakes and drinks]... Is that like umm... Gifts?"

Having a life admin day with council tax, hmrc dealings etc... Its really making me reflect on the accessibility of it all

Always finish an episode of black mirror ready to delete all my apps, throw out my phone, live off-grid... And yeah I never stick to it

Garlic bitter, gorse sweet; Springtime gifts for us to eat. Pick it, wash it, add it to stew, But just enough for me and you; For if we wish to live in peace, We must ensure that all can feast! A little springtime forage poem that the spirits helped me to write 🌱

Coming back home for a couple days and reading in my folks beautiful garden ☀️ The period around #Beltane is my favourite time of year; I am so glad to be creating some homely magic amongst the birds, by the sea, and under the blossoming rowan #scotland #witchsky

It is still wild garlic season! I like to forage from this den about 10 minutes from my home; where it grows so abundantly you could collect a sackful and not make a dent in the green.

I love Highland coos so much!!!!! Cutest animal in the world I was so excited

The UK Supreme Court is made up of 10 men and 2 women. So congratulations "feminists" you've effectively allowed a group of men decide what it means to be a woman. Incredibly progressive, I'm sure this won't pose ANY problems for cis women as well as trans men and women /s
