My beautiful boy and my familiar passed away last night.
So sad, but wanted to note it here.
This place has been a step by step journey through my life for a few years.

The Sacred Tree of Takeo Shrine 💚
This Camphor tree in Japan is over 3000 years old. It is 30m tall with a trunk circumference of 20m. Inside is a gaping cavity with an area of 12 tatami mats, which houses a stone shrine deep within 💚

Not good messing with the natural course of nature.
This animal does not look natural he/she has an unnaturally long body and very short legs - will probably have health issues.
Not meant to be pets but probably incapable of fending for itself .. very sad 😞
The Majesty Oak in Fredville Park, Nonington, England is estimated at around 800 years old 🌳
It is one of the biggest oaks in the UK having a girth of over 40 feet and a height of over 61 feet 🌳

When a crow dies & is discovered by another, that crow calls an alarm drawing together a big, raucous mob to view corpse. After about 15 minutes the group disperses.
Do they engage in funerals to learn about danger? Or are they grieving ?
Both I believe 🖤

Not like me to post a selfie really it this is me at the end of a 2 year battle. Still not quite there, but honestly lots of negative about social media~?but this place has helped me immensely .
Thank you all !
Sometimes you have to lose your mind to come to your senses.
The enigmatic black diamond apple is so rare it is only found in Tibet.
It is not only a visual spectacle , looking like the night sky studded with stars, but a culinary delight, with a heightened sweetness resembling honey 🖤

Welcome
#Samhain
🖤
The veil between living & dead is at its thinnest. The 'in-between’ _ a time in which the dead can move more easily into the realm of the living.
"We welcome our departed loved ones into this home & honour your presence amongst us”
I am my mother's savage daughter
The one who runs barefoot
She looks for her omens
In the colors of stones
In the faces of cats
In the dancing of fire
In the curve of old bones
She sings heathеn songs
By the light of the moon
And dreams she can reach it
With a song & a broom.
Happy
#Caturday
🖤
As a Celtic animal symbol the cat was regarded as guardian of the Otherworld; gatekeeper to the other realm of existence
Silent & mysterious, cats are expert guardians of homes & people, master secret keepers & symbols of hidden knowledge.

#Hecate
is often depicted as a powerful witch or dark goddess but her truth lies far deeper. She bears the wisdom which leads us out of the darkness & into the light of new life, & is a divine personification of magic. She is the part of you that helps you to find your way 🖤
This is what happens when a rainbow falls apart...it’s actually being diffused by scattered raindrops which reflect off the clouds behind it. If the clouds were gone it would just be a regular rainbow.

We welcome the return of the Earth Goddess; She brings life back to the land, flowers blossom and the earth is green and fertile again🌻 🍃💚
In the night of Midsummer’s eve,
focus your sight on a spot under a big tree where usually fairies dwell
For maximum success choose a tree that corresponds with Fairy Magic, a Willow or Rowan
Stay there patiently and quietly with eyes half opened 🧚♀️

#Hecate
is honoured on 16 November.
She is a powerful witch & dark goddess, but her truth lies far deeper. She bears the wisdom which leads us out of darkness & into the light of a new life.
She is the part of you that helps you to find your way 🕯️
Being an empath means that you feel other people’s moods & energies. Empaths are highly intuitive people who have an innate ability to help others. Unfortunately some people take advantage of their kindness & drain their energy which is detrimental to an empath’s well-being.

Witches have a love for animals, as they do for all living things.
Witches often have familiars, that support them in magickal works, gather information, offer guidance, protection & healing.
The connection between Witch & familiar is very special.
Look at this incredible Dragon Wall created to guard a Belfast home❗️
Just 1 project revealing the incredible talent of Michael Murray.
His teachers labelled him a waster & daydreamer. Leaving school with no
qualifications, he says he was expected to vanish into obscurity.
The Morrigan, Celtic Crow Goddess of Death War & Transformation teaches us that we need to let some parts of our lives “die” for others to flourish.
Sometimes we must change our surroundings, habits, friends & even our ourselves to achieve our full potential.

Happy Samhain Eve All 🖤🎃
Under star or under cloud
They come the midnight crowd.
With a drink in hand
To watch and stand.
Another year
And they're here to see
The turning of the key 🗝️

A magical world where ancient, gnarled & twisted trees have stood for 600 years enshrouded in a blanket of fog.
Fanal Forest, Madeira is last surviving ancient Laurel forest which once spanned much of Europe 💚

1-2 February we celebrate
#Imbolc
, harbinger of Spring ushered in by the maiden known as
#Brigid
To grasp the significance of Imbolc it’s necessary to understand the life-and-death struggle represented by winter which holds us in its grip, only relaxed with arrival of Spring.
A Magical 800 year old pack horse bridge in the 'lost village' of Wycoller , Lancashire which was loved by the Brontes.
Cars are banned - but walkers are free to roam across its ancient bridges and through the eerie ruins of a haunted hall.

The White Stag wanders through the tangled forests & wild moorlands of our distant past.
Elusive & rare, you may catch a glimpse in some hidden glade or see it moving ghost-like across the wild moors 🤍

Thank you everyone who supports my account.
I’m really humbled by your support, especially those who have been so steadfast. I do notice. I’ve been allowed to be myself here, which is something that has its issues even In these days, in day to day life.
You are appreciated.

Just testing .. like if you can see me.
Myself & quite a few others appear to have been made semi invisible .. for some reason.
Maybe because we don’t hold blue tick it some strange x thing going on ..

Witchcraft is a spiritual path. You walk it for nourishment of the soul, to commune with the life force of the universe & to thereby better know your own life.
