I’m lucky to live with this chalk giant on my doorstep. His origins are shrouded in mystery. He is in proportion as if he’s meant to be seen from a distance or even above. Either way its a very special magical place, occasionally frequented by wonderful magical people /|\ #Druidsky #Pagansky #OBOD

This is very true.😁💫🧹🧙‍♀️ If you haven't read a Terry Pratchett discworld book. I recommend Equal rites by Terry Pratchett. The first of his Witches story arc. They are clever & funny and addictive.
You may spot some familiar stories. 📚 #Pagansky #witchsky #Occultsky #Druidsky #Greenwitch

A MEME that reads: "The last thing you wanted a witch to do was get bored and start making her own amusements, because witches sometimes had famously erratic ideas about what was amusing." Terry Pratchett, Legends 1

Happy Imbolc! We picked fresh reeds, made Brigid's crosses, hung them above our doors, lit our Imbolc candle, lit from the eternal flame from Kildare, and left a Brat Bride for her to bless as she passes.
Love & Imbolc Blessings to all who celebrate🕯️🌱 /|\ #pagansky #Druidsky #witchsky #OBOD

At Imbolc to welcome Brigid, celebrants weave her likeness from oat sheaves and rushes, adorning it with a dress. The doll cradled in a basket awaits the goddess's blessing on the home. Imbolc candles are lit, bonfires blazes, honouring Brigid's sacred fire. /|\ #Pagansky #Druidsky #Imbolc #witchsky

Before refrigerators existed, people in Russia would preserve milk, by adding a frog to it. In 2017 scientists found that a chemical exuded from a Brown frog's skin helps prevent milk from spoiling! #greenwitch #historicalweirdness #pagansky /|\ #Druidsky

Pre the Gregorian calendar change, the turning of the year, aligned with Imbolc or the Spring Equinox a time of rebirth, when spring bought forth new life. It is not a failing to rest now, true transformation blooms in harmony with natural rhythms

A peaceful scene featuring a person gently sleeping on a vibrant, multicolored couch adorned with an array of colorful throws and cushions. The couch is set in a cozy, warmly lit room. Beside the couch, a small wooden table is cluttered with open spell books, their pages filled with mysterious symbols and arcane illustrations. A delicate porcelain teacup, half-filled with steaming herbal tea, sits precariously on the edge of the table. Soft, ambient lighting casts a warm glow over the scene, enhancing the tranquil and mystical atmosphere.
