Mullien leaves are a good healer against the irritant gasses sprayed on protesters. To sooth eyes and mucus membranes, pour boiling water over the leaves, a put you face into the gentle steam to reduce redness and swelling. Ancient healing in modern troubled times.

Mullien flowers in oil is a cure for an ear ache. I also will put mullien flowers and garlic slices into apple cider vinegar to help with ear infection from viral, bacteria, and yeast. Ridgeline healing at its best.

Tonight I heard my first screech owl of the season while canning green beans in the summer kitchen. A good swamp witch knows that the larder best be halfway full when the first screech owl calls. Lucky for me it is. A reminder winter will be here before we know it.

President Musk and First Lady Donni have destroyed the economy faster than any leader of any country ever. I guess they think when America was great was October of 1929. #fdjt #resistance #goodbyeUSA

We're now the joke heard 'round the world... #FDJT #FuckFacsists #FuckNazis #resistance #buycanadian

View from a hospital room where someone recovered from needed surgery, paid for by their health insurance, terrified they would be caught and deported before they could recover. She has taken care of YOUR children. We stood as a barrier against her oppressors. #FDJT #FuckNazis #FuckICE #resistance

Last nights cartoon 🥲

www.crawfordforwi.com TFG Mollusk. Now he’s trying to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court seat because he thinks he can. I’m thinking we may need to send some $$$ for that race and screw up fElon’s plans. PLEASE repost and let’s help Judge Crawford keep the court majority Dem and ruin fElon’s plan! 🇺🇸💙

Sign of the day…

Fed up the beasts well and spent the weekend in town. I gave a class on cheese making, and took a class on wilderness first aid. Got home late last night to the trees calling. Spring is whispering from the roots. Sap is rising. Shivers... #witchsky #pagansky #cunningfolk #livingseasonally

I'll spend most of the weekend in town, so I took a walk down to white stone spring this morning to charge up on wild places before I deal with humans (good humans, but I am an introvert). Spring isn't here yet, but for the first time I can start smelling it in the air. #witchsky #northwitch

Art is transformative, taking raw material and creating something new. I don't have the artist eye, a magic many of you hold doesn't flow thru me, but I am a blacksmith with my grandfather's forge. My art today was turning a broken plow into 12 discadas for cooking around the fire. #witchsky #prep

Hawthorn was one of my 1st teachers. The berries can be used in tea, jelly, wine, and vinegars for your salads. All of these are good anti-inflammatories, lowering blood pressure, and calming the body and mind. She has healed us since before humans recorded history. #witchsky #pagansky #cunningfolk

We have lived without refrigeration generations longer than we have lived with it, and our bodies evolved on fermented foods. So did the animal souls we domesticated. Turns out the simple ferment of sauerkraut has been shown to help with avian flu. #prepper #HealingFood #witchsky #ferment

$300 of seeds donated to our community garden by one person. It looks like my dining room table will be taken over by tomato seedlings. Every bit helps to keep the people moving during these dark times. #resistance #FeedTheRevolution

Words from a childhood favorite reminding us that generations have seen this battle and refused to back down. It echoes in our fables and myths. We are the heroes and heroines of the story now. #witchsky #pagansky #resistance #fdjt #wearetheheroes

Stay Rooted, Stay Wild, Blessed Be 💙🏴🌀 History warns us! The Malleus Maleficarum justified persecution—Project 2025 must not do the same. Together, we rise! Protesting is power—demand justice, protect rights, and create a better world. #Witch #Project2025 #Activist #Rights #MalleusMaleficarum

Two more plant allies that hang out all winter long, uva-ursi and pipsissewas. Both are good for anything to do with the urinary tract, with uva-ursi being a powerhouse, and pipsissewas as a more gentle healer. Wort cunning in the dead of winter. #witchsky #pagansky #cunningfolk #herbalism

I needed to recharge, so I spent a few days being a wild woman talking with the wild neighbors. A small trip into the earth revealed Smudge the Bear is a mother again. Even in the darkest depths of winter, life happens. We endure. #witchsky #pagansky #naturelessons

Late night chores done with a winter storm rolling in. There's a pot of chaga/spicebush tea simmering on the back of the stove, acorn squash stuffed with wild rice and dried apple in the oven. Taking into my body nourishment from the land herself. #mysacred #witchsky #pagansky #firecooking

The best time to start preparing for the shortages that are coming was in 2016. The second best time is now. In the chaos Trump has created, farmers are being denied loans because the banks cannot be guaranteed they will get paid. No loans, no food being grown. Get ready. #prepper #resistance

With the moon almost full, and the wolves howling up in the Black Jack, the forest is calling me. I saw a chaga in the birch stand, so I'll harvest some while I'm out and about. I become a creature of the night. #wildwitch #moonbathing #witchsky #pagansky #cunningfolk

It's a bit late, but I'm doing my last harvest of witch hazel for the year. I use her in so many of my skin tinctures throughout the seasons I need plenty. This year I asked her for a few more tips. She agreed being prepared is probably a good thing. #witchsky #pagansky #cunningfolk #wortcunning

A sauna is a living being, the rising steam a life force of its own called a loyly. A birch vihta, or branches with leaves, can be scrubbed across the skin to prevent inflammation and relieves muscle/joint pain during the sauna (or even in a bath). #witchsky #pagansky #cunningfolk #herbalhealing

There are those interested in learning to shoot, but can't use traditional means. Minorities and women often find themselves without firearm instructors. We offer our skills to those who want to learn. Don't mess with this witch, she has lots of teeth. #resistance #witchsky #pagansky #survival

We will all fight for that one last breath that will never come and then transcend into the role of ancestor. How will your descendants see you when they call for your guidance? Will you be a warrior, a sage, a light in the darkness? We are the power. #witchsky #pagansky #resistance #cunningfolk

Seriously. Our voices are. our most effective weapon. Speak up. #writingandwriters #writers #journalists #authors #bloggers #Witchsky #powerulwomen #womeninpolitics #womeninhistory

Since political spell work without political action is no different than the "thoughts & prayers" approach of dealing with the problems of the world, it's important to back up your magick with mundane effort. Call your reps. Join a volunteer organization. Feed folks. Get in good trouble. #witchsky

With some gifted deer tallow I have enough for 6 batches of soap. I posted an impromptu soap making class for 12 people and it was filled in less than an hour. People really want to learn basic skills. I'm packing up the class and goin' to town. #oldways #witchsky #pagansky #homesteading #prepping

WANTED: Brian Bjelde, a SpaceX bootlicker who's helping Elon Muskolini steal sensitive private data from US citizens, probably for nefarious purposes. Bjelde is a "top DOGE lieutenant". Bjelde has reportedly taken up residence on the 6th floor with his wife and child in a federal agency building.

Some wild medicinals need more care than others. Skunk cabbage, a unique plant of the swamps, gives us a medicine that is VERY powerful for deep pain and to calm whooping cough. EXTREME care must be taken to remove 100% of the moisture from the plant. #witchsky #cunningfolk #healingplants #wildwitch

I gathered some eastern red cedar needles and "berries". I'll soak them in grapeseed oil to use as a chest rub for chest colds. In their green state they can be used sparing as a spice or put in grain alcohol for homemade gin. #herbalhealing #witchsky #naturemedicine #cunningfolk #greenwitch

An altar is anywhere you raise and direct energy. It doesn't have to be bought, it isn't something extra you have to carry around. A kitchen counter, the garden harvest, your favorite chair, your car dash...are all altars to the powerful being that is you. #witchsky #nocapitalism #resistance

The land stirs from winter torpor in snowbell peal, in Stay Below rising. Jackdaws quest for twigs, toads wake. The witch hears whispers of green promise, the song of pussy willow swelling to silver. Feral magics swim her blood. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

There is magic in tracking. All the universe is contained in the trail. The position of the stars, the moon, the sun, the other wolves, the prey, each snowflake...are all contained in a single track. The wolf uses the universe to move through the world and teaches me the same. #witchsky #wildwitch

Dreaming of the magic of syruping. Staring deep into the bubbling sap, seeing images in the foam, being enveloped in the sweet steam, sipping on sap tea. The liminal time of winter ending and spring beginning opens us up to the energies of the trees. #witchsky #homestead #greenwitch #cunningfolk

We had our annual wassail yesterday. 24 hours of singing, dancing, reciting poetry, screaming like banshees...to call in the good spirits and send the bad ones packing. The orchard is a sacred keeper, giving us nourishment in the coming hard times. #witchsky #greenwitch #cunningfolk #homestead

Oh my gosh a cup of borage infusion right before a public speaking endevour... (a party with new people, a meeting, a presentation, officiating a wedding lol) ... mixed with a bit of lemon balm is like liquid courage for those who fear those things 😅🖤😉 #Herbies #Witchsky #Herbalism

Up for discussion: Granny from 'Beverly Hillbillies', witch or no? #witchsky #grannywomen #folkcraft #witchcraft

I have a mild foot injury today, so I headed down the water's edge to gather myself some alder catkins and cones. A strong foot bath of alder pulls out the soreness while toughening the feet. With alder being a tree of Imbolc, this seems appropriate. #witchsky #healingherb #cunningfolk #greenwitch

Chickweed in the snow tells us a valuable lesson. She cannot feed the whole world, but she can give 1 person a nutritious meal, and that person can pay it forward. No matter how small we think we are, we have power to change lives, one at a time. #resist #witchsky #greenwitch #cunningfolk

We spent the last couple days making sure we could do this. We have a community--check. We can move people safely--check. We can feed 50 to 150 people at a time--check. We can help during ice-y storms--check. #fuckICE #undergroundRR #FDJT #noNAZISallowed

Eggshell vinegar. Put eggshells into apple cider vinegar. Let set for a couple weeks. Take a shot daily for healthy bones and joints. Dogs, cats, horses, goats... can all just have eggshells crumbled over their food for the same results. #folkmedicine #witchsky #homestead #cunningfolk
