Every day in October is meant to celebrate & honor our witches. Those in the past paved the way with their sacrifices so a new world might understand the power in every piece of magic. #witchsky #witches #Halloween

Unknown source of the image but it’s truly one of a kind in beauty 🎀

Spirit of a woman looking away to the horizon. The colors in the flowers & texture of the skyline with a partial sliver of moon are breathtaking. Unknown source.

The Legend of the Bell Witch is hailed as one of America’s most haunted stories where a Tennessee pioneer family was taunted between 1817 & 1821. The story of John Bell includes sightings of strange animals with “the body of a dog and the head of a rabbit” out in the cornfields. #WyrdWednesday

Fascinating tales of real witches. Each defined by their destiny. Some magical, some healers, some foretell of the future but each one determined to shape real lives #witchsky #witches #WyrdWednesday

In the African-American folk traditions of the American South, a "conjure man" or "conjure woman" is a professional sorcerer. They would live outside the community, often in the swamp. Though feared, conjure folk would be consulted for various magical services.

In 'Trick or Treat' (1952), Witch Hazel spies Donald tricking his nephews, so to even the odds she brews up a potion that has inanimate objects chasing after Donald, turning the tables for once on the dastardly duck.

Folklore connects hares and bluebells, particularly in Scottish and Irish myths, where the flowers are called harebells. Witches were believed to use the flowers' sap to transform into hares, and then hide among the blooms.

Not all witches were women. In early modern Europe, more than one in ten people executed for witchcraft were men, including cunning healers, charm-makers, or astrologers who crossed unseen boundaries. #WyrdWednesday

Trump gets a $400 million jet, Qatar gets an air force base in Idaho, and you get higher taxes. Trickle-down patriotism at its finest. Are things getting better yet?

I blame the parents. No matter what you are told by the gov’t, you still have the knowledge to do the right thing for your children & that includes minimizing the spread of diseases.
