I thought I'd take you out with us while gathering sap today. 1 minute of looking at a horse's butt in a one-horse open sleigh that is filled with maple sap that will help feed us in the coming year. #witchofthewoods #sleighride #witchery #horsewhisperer #cunnningfolk #witchsky #folkwitch #witch

On days when the man-made world seems too wrong, when anger seems to draw too much power...going back to simple lets me catch my breath. Eggs and bacon cooked at the hearth as the wind howls around the cottage. #hearthmagic #firemagic #witchery #witchsky #cunningfolk #folkmagic #hearthwitch #peace

Greetings from the wild. This one was waiting for me as I went out to gather sap today. #wildlife #livingwithnature #cunningfolk #northernliving #witchsky #witchery #pagan #naturemagic #tracker #badcamerashaking

Where earth and water meet. I stopped at the spring to gather some watercress for tonight's salad and spent a few minutes staring into the water bubbling up from the depths of the earth. #elements #rewilding #witchery #witch #witchsky #pagansky #waterenergy

Speaking to the Guardian, Guterres said: "Our world is not a gigantic corporation. Financial decisions should be based on more than a snapshot of profit and loss.” Read the full story ⬇️

Gaze into my cauldron. After boil maple sap for hours on end, figures appear in the foam. Secrets are revealed. #witchery #witchsky #pagansky #witch #hedgewitch #woodswitch #cunningfolk #backwoodswisdom

Because cottonwoods are vulnerable to being blown over, they shed branches in the high winds. We can use this to harvest buds for balm of Gilead without harming the tree. It is a good salve for wounds and burns. #healingherbs #witchery #pagansky #witchsky #cunningfolk #healer

The warming days bring a popping that slowly grows louder and louder until, with a crash, the ice break free. For a moment the sound is loud; hissing, grinding, roaring and then there is a river where an ice highway once was. Break up is a power to behold. #seasons #witchsky #pagansky #witchery

"The cardinal sings the sap up" is old northern folklore that means when you first hear the cardinal singing its spring song, it is time to tap your trees. We have begun the spring quickening with maple season. #northernwitch #witchsky #pagansky #seasons #bushcraft #witchery #mapleseason #woodswitch

Because we have to stand up to the fear this regime wants from us.

Are we winning yet?

We are entering the “falling out of windows” phase.

After an interesting night I needed some down time, so I headed out for a walk in the late winter forest. South facing hills reveal fun finds. Here is antler shed from a younger whitetail buck. #nature #tracking #witchsky #pagansky #folkwisdom #witchery

👏👏👏🤷‍♂️ That’s where we are!

This is concerning, that a rep feels they must post this. A lot in our coalition has felt the same way and worried about it, but didn’t think we’d be here publicly.

If this isn't attitude, I don't know what is. This lady has had enough of us humans spying on her and let her feelings be know. #attitude #witchsky #pagansky #wildlife

Minnesota has been one of the "fly over" states forever. Now an East Coast elite President looks to occupy it. Go back to Maralargo and leave the ignored middle of the country alone.

Little Sister Wintergreen is starting to peek out from her hiding places as the snow melts. Not only does she make a delicious tea, but her medicine helps relieve pain and relaxes our bodies. She is always ready to help, no matter the season. #herbalism #witchsky #witchery #pagansky #foraging

Up here around The Great Lakes, we wait for months for anything besides emergency medical care. Many of our nurses and healthcare professionals are Somali. They are the only ones willing to work in the cold north. Without them The US would be much more of a third world country.

This is a very good thing to contribute to!

The goats are tucked away and the cat and the dogs are resting by the fire. Darkness covers this land, unbroken except for the oil lamps over the woodstove. The witch's kitchen will invite all who wish to share. Goodnight, everyone. #witchsky #witchery #pagansky #cunningfolk #simpleliving #peace

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

As seasons change here in the backwoods, different chores come and go. Soap making cannot not begin until after The Final Harvest, and I am finally getting the last bars finished. After they cure, I'll distribute them around the neighborhood. #simpleliving #community #witchsky #witchery #pagansky

You’re part of something ancient; the slow, quiet repair of the living world.

The river is still tucked away under its blanket of ice, but in the lengthening days, the ice moans and crackles. The seasons are changing. The witch in me feels the river calling. Soon we will be free. #witchskky #pagansky #seasons #witchcraft #nature

A large CAVA bag stuffed with what it says is $50,000 for White House Border Czar Tom Homan. It’s been reported Homan took bribery money when he was recorded by the FBI accepting a bag full of $50,000 in cash. “ICE GTFO OF MN” Minneapolis February 4, 2026

Living with nature means living with the seasons. It is coming up quickly on tree tapping season. The first trees I tap are black walnuts and they will be running soon. Spent the day getting ready for the boiling time. #woodswoman #foraging #homesteading #witchsky #pagansky #cunningfolk

Listen to the crows. They will always tell you where the predators are. #woodslore #woodswoman #livingwithnature #witchsky #pagansky #cunningfolk #bushcraft

I'm opening the sugar shack this weekend, getting ready for maple season. I checked out my maple mead stash and it's looking good. Should be ready for spring celebration when we start getting ready for the summer workout. #homestead #pagansky #witchsky #oldways #witcchcraft #foraging

Straddling the modern world of the norms and the wild world of the swamp means every now and again I need to come home and file and clean my broken fingernails. #cunningfolk #pagansky #witchsky #homesteading #homesteading #bushcraft #hedgewitch

The northern winter forests and swamps offers up a bit of help for adapting to changing times. Labrador tea helps our bodies fight off stress as well as aids in any kind of upper respiratory problems. #herbal #healing #witchcraft #witchsky #pagansky #woodslore #foraging #woodswoman

A lifelong racist, spawned by a racist, also spawned by a racist, is a grotesque RACIST—it was definitely RACIST (intended). Trump will never recover from the fact that a Black man is smarter, more educated, and more respected than himself. Also, that Obama is not a child rapist in Epstein’s files.

A lovely fisher came to my farm earlier today. The fisher here is seen as both a trickster and a bringer of wisdom. To have her near you means you are safe from evil spirits, because evil doesn't want to fuck around with this mighty one. #folkmagic #witchsky #pagansky #backwoodswisdom #woodslore

Heading out into the night to do a bit of ice fishing up on a hidden lake. I need a bit of time away from the human world. I'm going out where the wolves howl along with the wind. #solitude #backtonature #freedom #cunningfolk #witchsky #pagansky #fishing #bushcraft

Just sayin’.

We think we have tamed fire by running it thru copper wires in our walls, but every now and again we should talk with her directly, thank her for our gifts, and ask nicely for her not to burn us. Dinner for friends cooked at the hearth. #hearthwitch #witchsky #pagansky #homestead #simpleliving

I had a visitor in the early morning hours. Beano the Bear came out for a quick trip around the yard before heading back to bed for another couple months. Obviously I chose the bear. #wildlife #tracks #pagansky #witchsky #woodswoman

The people of Minneapolis have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. The first time a city's population has ever been nominated. www.newsweek.com/minneapolis-...

They earned this! 👊

😬

Lessons from The River: Even in the coldest time of the year, when the ice is so strong you can drive a truck on it and it refuses to break, an earth warmed spring cuts a path to allow the river to touch the sun. Be the spring. #iceOUT #pagansky #witchsky #woodslore #wethepeople

Usnea, or old man's beard, is a sign of a healthy swamp. Deer, bear, and even the wily fox will use this medicine from the deep forest. Usnea is a wonderful antimicrobial, and can be used internally as a tea or tinture, or added to a salve for wound care. #bushcraft #witchsky #pagansky #cunningfolk

As a woodswoman I watch the rising smoke to see coming changes. The smoke has changed in the last few days. Something different is coming. #pagansky #witchsky #cunningfolk #signsofnature

Heading to Minneapolis tomorrow afternoon, so this afternoon I went to the swamp to ground myself. There are scars here, from battles won and lost. The forest whispers, "Hold onto hope. We will rise." From the decay of evil comes new life. Our light will shine. #witchsky #pagansky #FuckICE
