Oíche Shamhna shona duit! The Coligny Calendar informs us that Samhain, or Samhuinn, fell on the 2nd new moon after the equinox - this year, that's today 🌑 Long ago, Samhuinn was a night of revelry, purification, & consecration of harvest, families, and animals 🧵

ive had this in my head all day but now it’s LOUD M A M D A N I

As many of you know now, my sweet Thor baby recently passed. I had to take him to emergency vets, and although they did everything they could, his little heart just couldn't take it all. The treatment and surgery was expensive and I'm trying to recover. Thank you <3 tilt.fyi/zpazx4UGLR

I have some very sad news. Around 1:40am early Wednesday morning, Thor quietly passed away at home. I hate that I am posting this everywhere, I am just trying to cover my bases. Thor had a progressive heart disease and a gnarly cancer. I am heartbroken and lost. Rest easy my sweet boy.

I'm currently in an area experiencing such extreme and serious drought. Our well has run dry so we've been using bottled water. The limited water we can get delivered has to be used so carefully. I'm grateful we have the resources to manage this, but fuck if this isn't challenging to manage.

Autumn approaches 🍂 What if, hear me out, you decolonized your practice?

38 rotations around the sun 🌞 I've learned a lot, I've made a lot of mistakes, I've taught a lot of children, I've given so many hugs to friends, I've cared for so many animals, and I've grown and tended to so many plants. I'm so grateful. Here's to many more years ✨️🎊

Hekate is not a Triple Goddess. Brigid is not a Triple Goddess. The Cailleach is not a Triple Goddess. The Morrigan is not a Triple Goddess. The Triple Goddess is a neopagan concept created by a poet in the 20th century to mimic the Holy Trinity of Christianity. These Goddesses are far older.

The Celts never referred to the equinox as Mabon. In 1973 an American witch created a neopagan calendar. He disliked that it lacked balance between the equinox and the solstice, so he named them himself: Mabon and Litha. Use the calendar you wish, but don't call Mabon an ancient celebration.

Okay well if you need me, I'll be in my office. *walks off into the woods*

I get anxious when I tell some1 new I have OCD , bc i’m afraid they interpret that as a “silly haha, I have OCD”, rather than I have a debilitating mental disorder that makes life really hard & i’m trying to communicate that by sharing my diagnosis

"Let's get one thing straight..." Oh, no thank you

Watching the Nosferatu remake finally. The occult elements? The visuals?? The ambiance??? The horror elements???? 10 out of 10. What a good vampire film.

After an impromptu hiatus [again], I've had time to think about the content I create. As I shift over to Patreon, I'm focusing more on witchcraft and folk practices. So, if you were [or are] a beginner practitioner, what are some questions / topics YOU would want information or guidance on?

Well over a decade of teaching and I've never put together a wishlist. My new co-teacher put one together for her classroom, so I was inspired to do the same. These are wants, not needs, but any and all help is deeply appreciated, thank you <3 throne.com/dreadvoidwit...

This week we say goodbye to our sweet Odin. 10 years ago he and his brother were found in a culvert. For a period of time when I lived at home, he would sleep with me and watch me play WoW. In his old age, he joined me on my late night walks. I'll miss you, sweet boy 💜

"I asked ChatGPT" Oh yea? I asked the trees and they said you need to get a fucking grip.

Good morning✌️🍀

Psssst... Hey... When was the last time you cleaned your headset?

I'm resharing this since many celebrate using the modern day date of August 1 and I keep seeing people USE THESE NAMES INTERCHANGEABLY Social media witchcraft is such a huge mess sometimes 🫠

*taps mic* Lughnasadh and Lammas are NOT the same holiday and to interchangeably use them is cultural erasure. Lughnasadh or Lunastal is an ancient Celtic festival of the first harvest, a time of grief and celebration. Lammas is a Christian holiday where they brought fresh loaves to mass.

I don't know who needs to hear this [all of you do] but don't touch the dropper of your serums and oils to your face. Stop it 👏

It's important to remember that one of the core tactics of systems of oppression is immediacy. It's pushing for a rapidfire response in the face of a crisis [real or imagined]. This is relevant to all aspects of online interactions and online creative spaces.

Finally watched Sinners God damn. What a masterpiece.

Did some readings outside this evening and every single card from every single deck literally said "girl you literally have free will. Make a decision. If you don't like it, make a different decision or change your mind. You've got agency and change is inevitable." OOOOKAYYYYY then FINE.

Things are bad right now, and many of us have incoming heat waves. Don't skip care for yourself right now. Take your meds, drink your water. I'm a gardener and wanted to share a list of steps you can take to help your plants and garden creatures survive the heat in the coming days 🧵

Elon saying he’s going to reprogram his chatbot’s view of history is a perfect example of why these kinds of AI products aren’t the neutral “tools” people always defend them as. They’re little political projects reflecting the ideologies of their creators

I know everything is on fire but PLEASE contact your representatives about the selloff of public lands. It's a heartbreaking proposal that will destroy the soul of America.

I’ve been wanting to rebrand for a bit now, and I finally got the courage to do it. I wanted a name that felt true to me. Connecting to the magical, whimsy and witchcraft part of me. And connecting to my Costa Rican heritage. So with that… Bye, Cassidot. Hello, FaerieAbuelita 🌿🧚🏼‍♀️🖤

Pride Month so far: Jonathan Joss is murdered in a disgusting hate crime and the Navy intentionally announces they are changing the name of the USNS HARVEY MILK. America... now more than ever... David Lynch's words ring loudly. "Fix your hearts or die." This cannot be our normal.

The big “why do you hate AI?” Thread got comments and quotes turned off, but here’s the main reason I hate AI: It’s being developed by the worst people on the planet solely to enrich themselves at the expense and labor of the world’s vulnerable populations. Everything else stems from that
