Your joy is resistance.

A bit warmer this morning for barn chores (36 F). Just means we need to shift the flocks to the winter Barn and pastures, but farmer Runa needs to do some set up and harvest some hops for a new brew first. #WitchAlt #WitchSky #OnTheCovenstead

bsky.app/profile/tws-... Life could be so easy if haters learned to be polite in kindergarten. Sigh. I hope we get there

The owls, coyotes, frogs, and crickets joined the Covenstead in frolicking under the Moon by a bonfire tonight. Cakes and ale were consumed and we brought a new Witch into the fold. An excellent Harvest Moon if I do say so myself. #WitchSky #OnTheCovenstead

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

ICE agents are reportedly creeping around high schools in Chicago. And because they are wearing masks, often not wearing uniforms and using unmarked vehicles this means that ANYONE could show up dressed like this and disappear kids off the streets. This is especially dangerous

The 1% suck. But I hate they have a thumbnail of a couple on a sailboat. Being on a sailboat does not necessarily make one wealthy. There is an entire population on the planet that lives aboard sailboats in an effort to live more holistically conscious. www.cnbc.com/2025/10/03/t...

Greenhouse is ready for the Covenstead's chief engineer to do some winter upgrades; Tomatoes harvested and stored; Now I need to get some plants in pots in the ground. Go Witch Go! #OnTheCovenstead

Rest is doing.

Awoke to 34 degrees today. The last tomatoes will be pulled from the tunnel today. We'll do our best to winterize & use the space as we can until deep winter. The tunnel allowed us twice the harvest this year. Next year we take this year's lessons and kick even more #GrowFood butt. #OnTheCovenstead

Truth matters; keep beating the drum of facts. Drown out the lies.

🧹Be discerning, the Tech Witch Edition: Trying to be clear and loud for those in the back: don't click on any kind of email that has anything to do with $$. Look at the To line; look at who else is on that line; and more importantly, where it originates. There is always a tell. #WitchSky

It's that witchy time of year, friends... #OnTheCovenstead

Uhaul will never get my business again. Any corporate entities helping this B.S. are non est bonum to get my dollars. blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/02/s...

Inspired by @thetarotlady.bsky.social some time ago, I do a "Black-out Sabbath" and refrain from news and social media on Sundays. However, I think today I need to take the whole weekend to stay away. Shits crazy out there.

Chicken and (#sourdough) dumplings simmering in the cauldron, coleslaw for tomorrow in the fridge, and a batch of peppers harvested and flash frozen. Now it's time to write. #OnTheCovenstead #KitchenWitchery #TodaysHarvest

Not bad for October. Yesterday's and #TodaysHarvest #GrowFood #OnTheCovenstead #WitchAlt #WitchSky

Another reason to shift to DuckDuckGo, EFF is doing good work for digital privacy.

Good Stuff, Witches! If you got nominated as the one to break generational cycles, this toothy Witch is the one to help you start your journey in a discerning, well thought-out framework. Her patreon community is one of my favorites, too. #Witchsky

Getting fancy with the confit today. #GrowFood #OnTheCovenstead

The Oregon Department of Justice is asking a federal judge to temporarily block President Donald Trump from federalizing and deploying Oregon National Guard troops to protect federal buildings in Portland.

Y'all; ya don't keep a national drink from its people without great unrest. We've already learned this lesson repeatedly. If you read Magic In Your Cup, I wrote about one such situation. Collective energy in a drink, it's a thing for real.

Today's words of wisdom: Don't Poke the Sasquatch! #OnTheCovenstead

Oh, and against the law... Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), 18 USC § 1030; Identity Theft and Aggravated Identity Theft, 18 U.S.C. §§ 1028 &1028A; Wire Fraud, 18 U.S.C. §1343; and False Personation of a Federal Officer, 18 U.S.C. §912 (easy fight to conspiracy, OOJ, and Espionage, too.

So does certain regime members not understand about the UCMJ? I remember Article 134 very well. All of these domestic ops are discrediting to our armed forces. Oh, and there's something called the Posse Comitatus Act (1878). Ask your congressional reps about both of these LAWS.

No words. Just rage.

“Nobody should have to pick between cancer treatment and paying rent.” Working families cannot afford for their health insurance costs to more than double. The Trump admin must fund the government and prevent an even worse health care crisis NOW.

Samhain decorating has not begun and I'm hoping that when I get out of class this evening those boxes have been brought to me. When there is a toddler Grand Witchling about, everything seems to not happen on schedule. #OnTheCovenstead #WitchSky

Nothing personal, but I don't even want to see any media that includes TFG. So, if I mute you because your posts/content has his mug on it, that's why. One form of resistance is to not give them the time of fucking day.

🧹Noticing a trend towards manifestation talk lately. A lot of folx forget the sacrifice part of spellcraft. It asks for something real from you: your energy, time, resources, even blood, sweat, or tears. Magic has a cost. When you honor that exchange, there is power. 🪄 #WitchSky

She didn't call herself an animist; but, if you read her work, seen her lecture, etc., she absolutely described beliefs and experiences to what animism encompasses. I would dare to call her Witch; but, she would have bristled at that and corrected me to say "scientific naturalist."

Dreams can feel mysterious, comforting, or even unsettling. Yet they are never meaningless. If you'd like a thoughtful interpretation of what your dreams may be saying, I'm here to help. #WitchSky #OnTheCovenstead runatroy.com/index.php/pr...

This news guts me particularly because I recently picked up her book, Seeds of Hope: Wisdom & Wonder from the World of Plants. After reading I learned she narrated the audio, so I've been listening to it. I just finished it this morning during barn chores. #OnTheCovenstead #WitchSky janegoodall.org

Where whiteness is a closed door, ancestor work is a key to culture and belonging—a key that is literally handed to you by those to whom you irrevocably belong, to those who claim you and hold you across time. (this one goes out to the mixed kids) #WitchSky #PaganSky

Talking with Kindred yesterday, the headlines brought up the stay or go conversations that have happened since TFG. I said the Land won't let me leave. No one blinked, and convo turned to more Land Tending tasks for Winter prep, ending with 2 y.o. Grand Witchling saying, "See, You stay home."

Hey Witches, if you're able, our community needs help.

As a vet, the announcement today is disturbing to say the least. And I hope the good people I know are on the front lines of this war will do the right thing.

Hey Friends, Please share this video, and if you have the means please help our friend and her family in need. Thank you 💗 Love you all 🏳️‍⚧️💕🏳️‍🌈

Who's your favorite Jedi? (Wrong Answers Only)

Raise your glasses, Witches. Here's to the Princess of Shadows 🥂 She was more than 112 in pup years -- oh so full of adventure. We feel so privileged to have been her humans. May the summerlands be full of your favorite treats, plenty of geese to chase, and cool, shady lawns. We love you. RIP 🐈‍⬛❤️‍🩹 🌈🌉

1084 words for the day and I un-kinked some disconnect within the text. Flowing from one idea to another sometimes is where I struggle occasionally. Transitions! They can make or break ya! #AmWriting

#AmWriting Hope to get at least 1k words done today. I'm struggling with caring about this project and have shiny new ideas to write. But, I already know that won't help, so keeping my butt in the chair and plodding along. #OnTheCovenstead #MetaphysicalWriter
