December 3rd~

If this kitten was a grey tabby, I’d 100% believe it was my daughter’s kitten.

Add a craggy sea coast and this is perfection.

December 4th.

05 December- morning commute.

Absolutely!

08 December ~

It’s absolute bliss to be in the state of “no longer” and “not yet” just allowing things to be. A welcome and long overdue moment of peace and relaxation.

I am a witch. I refuse to be coy about nature's hard truths. The year is dying. You can feel it in every weakened sunset. You can feel it in every shivering field. I greet its passing with the sadness and gratitude I hope I'll have at my own end. – #EmilyBanting, 1982 #Witchcraft

Witchcraft is entanglement. Witchcraft is ecology. Witchcraft is knowing your relationships to a complex ecosystem of spirits and the physical world they're part of. No part of its magic is some transcendental, divorcing oneself from nature. – Dr. #EmilyBanting, 1992 #Witchcraft

Happy New Year's Eve. It's Mari Lwyd time...

What the cunning folk of Hookland do on #NewYearsEve - year-walking. May your troubles not cross the threshold of midnight. May blessings walk down the lane to meet you in the coming year.

For this is my witchcraft – the land sings to me. Even on days of hard winter sunshine, it sings omens of coming spring, sings of a thousand fox cubs growing toward birth. Its mysteries and its life are in my ears and against my soul. – #EmilyBanting #Witchcraft

I am watching the first major winter storm across the river. Still waiting to see if we are at the southern most edge or not.

Yesterday morning, the wind’s howling was the eerie cries of lost souls; unearthly harbingers of the storm to come. What does one do but batten the hatches, light a candle and offer prayers on behalf of the Anima Sola.

Today's witchy wisdom…

Highly recommend. Still moving through the Foundations course (retirement from teaching was the best health gift I gave myself), but this one comes second.

In a funk today: prescience of the mind-numbing boredom at work. Probably. Me: I should be home. I have crafting to do. Co-worker: What kind of crafts do you do? Me: Witch.
