Wednesday Witchy Musings-Tea Many have told me their grandmother used to read tea leaves. But why? It is an easily hidden form of magic. There are few images more innocuous than a woman, a granny, sitting drinking tea. Add a bit of divination and it transforms to a symbol of secret wisdom. #WitchSky

Wednesday Witchy Musings - Sacred Time Some times and places it is easy to feel the magical and sacred; others we have to work to get there. Circles, incense, working at an altar are ways to shift ourselves to a moment of “other”, feeling that we are a step away from mundane reality. 1/2 #WitchSky

Deity of the Week - Danu Mother of the Tuatha Dé Danann, a mother goddess, and a river goddess, widely honoured by Celtic peoples. Take a walk by a river and thank her, leave the water better than you found it (safely!) or at home offer her milk or water. #PaganSky #WitchSky
