'Tis the season! Time to roast some chestnuts... right after I'm done picking up all the prickly burrs out of the yard. #harvest #chestnuts #nuts

Some little white morning glories have volunteered in the flower bed next to the vitex bush. I'm enjoying their delicate beauty. #flowers #WhiteFlowers #MorningGlory #bloomscrolling

Forget the darkest timeline, I'm beginning to think we are on the dumbest timeline instead.

well meaning people love to be like ‘aren’t you scared of being left behind if you don’t start using AI in your work’ and from the bottom of my heart: no, im not scared of that. i would rather go back to restaurants for the rest of my life than publish AI ‘books’

Interesting. This is a tidbit of US history that I didn't know. I hope they can revive this system.

In the West, dragons are greedy hoarders of gold. In the East, they are honorable guardians of cosmic treasures. Could their shared origin have embodied both traits? #BookologyThursday

I'm better known for "that Minoan stuff," but The Wiccan Wellness Book remains my bestselling title. I wrote it because I was fed up with typical self-help books and wanted something different, something better. Details: www.lauraperryauthor.com/wiccan-welln... #book #wicca #pagan #PaganSky

".... For this bird is more than just a boisterous menace, but an active symbol of creation, fertility, and enchantment🪿" Everyone knows I love geese 💛, so I couldn't resist writing a little bit about their fabulous presence in myth and lore ✨️ #folkloresky thepagancollective.com/2025/09/21/f...

The muppet show is returning. I repeat THE MUPPET SHOW IS RETURNING. Kermit was my first crush this is momentous. If this little girl’s giggle, Kermit’s disgruntled face & the last 10 seconds of this don’t make your day better then I cannot account for you:

Rosemary has such pretty flowers! My rosemary plant didn't start blooming until really late in the season, but it's making up for lost time now. #flowers #herbs #gardening #bloomscrolling

Believe trans people when we tell you the 'science' behind the Cass Report is as solid as the 'science' behind paracetamol causing autism.

Breton kids pose in front of the Dolmen de Crucano at Plouharnel-Carnac, scanned from an old postcard I picked up with a few others (for 20p a piece) in, of all places, a little shop in North-East Wales. #TombTuesday #dolmen #megalith #Neolithic #Brittany #Breton #Carnac

Forgot to share the muscadines from a couple of weeks ago when they were ripe. The local wildlife have planted the seeds all over the place, so we now have muscadine vines throughout our little woodland as well as on the pergola where we planted the initial vine. #grapevine #muscadines #gardening

The elephant's foot is looking very cheerful as it offers the butterflies a few last tasty drops of nectar at the end of the season. It's a native wildflower where I live in the southeastern US. Interesting tidbit: It's also called Devil's Grandmother! #flowers #Wildflowers #bloomscrolling

Spectacular octopus from the floor of the women’s changing room at the Central Baths in ancient Herculaneum. This magnificent #Roman monochrome mosaic makes quite an impact! 📷 by me #MosaicMonday #Archaeology

youtu.be/Gs069dndIYk Happy 21st Night of September to all who celebrate!

The cards suggest we lean into our "softer side" this week. Sounds good to me. #Tarot #TarotSky #Minoan #MinoanTarot #MinoanArt

Wormwood blooms are so cute! These little yellow buttons of flowers make incredibly tiny seed that grows teeny tiny seedlings. #herbs #gardening #wormwood

Remember the person who censors you most of the time is you. Do not obey in advance.

The geometry of nature: tiny spiral of leaves unfurling in the center of a sage plant. #sage #herbs #gardening #spiral

Another ecstatic posture exploration, this one with spirit work purposes. It's amazing how much information is right in front of us in the form of ancient figurines! #Minoan #shamanism #AlteredStates #EcstaticPosture

Call your reps AND senators! Trans people need to have their healthcare protected. Tell them you support trans people. Cis people, pick up your phones and do some heavy lifting.

there's no contradiction between "hating trans people" and "wanting to fuck trans people". have you guys heard what men think of women

Lifted up a plant saucer and accidentally disturbed a gray tree frog. It was kind enough to pose on the nearby lattice before leaving for parts unknown. Fun fact that I learned recently: gray tree frogs can change the color of their skin, like chameleons do! #nature #frog #TreeFrog

Our medieval curator Alison Ray introduces Rawlinson Bodleian Library MS. Rawl. D. 252...a 15th Century necromancer's journal. This manuscript contains spells written in Latin and Middle English, and would have served as a reference for a professional sorcerer. #MedievalMonday

The field peas have completely taken over this garden bed so you can't even see the fence they're growing on. You also can't see that one side of the fence is propped up with a stout bamboo pole because the weight of the plants broke one of the fence posts. #gardening #VegetableGarden

I finished painting my house today

This cute (and anatomically correct) little pipe clay Roman dog was discovered in Bath close to the temple of Sulis Minerva. In Roman religion, dogs were associated with the deities Diana and Aesculapius. #FindsFriday

I am amazed and delighted to announce that my book 'The Road to Mons Graupius' has been longlisted for the Saltires, Scotland's National Book Awards! www.thesaltires.org.uk #RomanSiteSaturday

Something beautiful for the weekend! An extraordinary Acheulean handaxe knapped around a fossil shell c. 500,000-300,000 years ago! The shell’s central display has been described as an example of aesthetic intention by the toolmaker. West Tofts, Norfolk. 📷 MAA Cambridge University #Archaeology

The dahlias are adding some lovely early autumn color to the garden. #dahlias #flowers #bloomscrolling

The Wicker King is less quiet in the ember months.

So: the new book's going well.

I seriously don't know how to explain to people that it is not in fact a sign of maturity and democracy to peacefully debate whether certain groups of people should be allowed to exist

Early morning clouds looking dramatic. #sky #clouds #dawn #morning

In the herb garden, pruning equals harvesting! My studio smells lovely - it was the only place I could find room to set the screen full of sage. #herbs #gardening

We have positively gorged on figs this year. Our little fig tree has been full to the brim! This is the last of them... now we'll have to be patient until next year. #gardening #HomeOrchard #fruit #figs #GrowYourFood

Malia #Bee 🐝Pendant: A 3,800-year-old accessory found in a #Minoan 'pit of gold' I bought a replica when I worked in #Crete in 2008...but it has disappeared...perhaps due for another one when I return this fall??!! www.livescience.com/archaeology/...
