The harvest moon was so bright last night in all of her silvery splendour😍. Known as Lleuad y cynhaeaf/ Lleuad y Naw Nos Olau, this phase was particularly adored amongst reapers who harvested the last crop under her guidance, hence the name "the moon of the nine light nights"

Blessings everyone 🌕

Yesterday the community gathered to honour the Goddess Sabrina/ Hafren for World Rivers Day 2025🌎🌊🌀
We are called Sabrina Folk not just because we grow up or live close to her river, but because she is inseparable from us as our home, our culture, our livelihood, our ancestral source, our mother🩵🩵

They say at the end of a rainbow, in the mystical land of JD Sports, lies a pot of Gold. But in actual fact, its not a pot gold...its a pigeon 😂🐦

We have reaped and we have mowed
And we have brought home every load
Hurrah for the Harvest Home" 🌾🌾🌾

While many of us are removed from the agricultural process, we can still rejoice in the wonderful wisdom of this season including the importance of community, gratitude, and appreciation for the land🌞.

However you celebrate today, may it be a blessed one 🧡🧡🧡

Have you really celebrated the harvest if you haven't taken a photo in a wheat field amongst the insects, mice & occasional doggers😂?

Happy Lammas/ Lughnasadh/Calan Awst. May the blessings be numerous during this beautiful time when the Earth is bountiful and prosperous🍞. #Lammas #witchsky

The land remembers. It reminisces over bygone ages & mourns for its soil saturated in Spirits lost to turbulent times who can still be seen wandering the battle field🖤

Today marks the feast of Mary Magdalene, a woman who is the embodiment of hope, devotion, love & empowerment. Her Church⛪️, built upon the site of the 1403 battle of Shrewsbury, stands as a place of silent, melancholic commemoration for the 1,600 people buried there💀. #folkloresky #historysky
