There is an image of Saint Lucy in a frame, lit by a beeswax candle, set above a plate of traditional Italian cookies called Saint Lucy’s Eyes. Next to the plate, there is a crystal goblet filled with water.

Happy Saint Lucy’s Feast Day! I baked these traditional italian sweets called Saint Lucy’s Eyes and prayed to the Saint last night to bless them as she passed through my home, as tradition goes. #WitchSky #Folkmagick #FolkWitch

Thank you! 💗

Thank you so much! Calligraphy is a truly beautiful discipline, and surprisingly relaxing once you get the hang of it! I encourage you to give it a try. It takes practice but I promise it’s not as hard as it looks :)

Update on the big book! I wish I had more time to draw, paint and write! The process is very very slow. I love how it’s turning out tho and can’t wait to show you more of my grimoire 💗

Have you ever wondered why certain saints or night creatures bring gifts during the Christmas season? Every country has its own traditions, and Italy is no exception. As witches I do believe that we can weave them into our solstice practice! #Witchsky #FolkMagick #Witchcraft #Folklore

Today is April 25th, and Italy we celebrate the liberation from the Nazis and Fascists. Today is a celebration of freedom, and I honor this day to thank my ancestors who fought so that their children could be free 🌹 Viva l’Italia Antifascista!

I'd recommend doing things which bring wonder back into your life. Repetitive Mundane actions can lead to what I call "human brain". It's a good idea to do things outside of your normal routine to keep in touch with the magical part of yourself. #witchsky #pagansky

Wonderful advice! I’ll def Put it into practice, thank you 💜✨

Great advice! It’s like going back to the basics but with a fresh twist every time 😊

Lately, I’ve been feeling a bit disconnected from my practice. What do you do when that happens to you? #Witchsky #folkmagic

Good job! That's so beautiful and the details are amazing! 🗝

Have you ever considered making a scrapbook-style grimoire? Mine actually started that way! Until I felt confident enough in my skills to draw in it I used the scrapbooking technique!

Thank you! Omg keep up the work! I bet it's going to be an amazing grimoire 💗

As the new ancestors,

How are you archiving our era?

Write, Journal and or Create Art.

Thank you! I made it myself but it's definetely going to be a family heirloom for my future children 💗

(2) Close the bag and fumigate it with a protection incense while reciting the prayer to Hekate Enodia (She who is on the road). Carry it with you everytime you drive #witchsky #witchmadness #folkmagic

Protection Charm Bag for Driving: work on a waxing moon, on a Tuesday, during Mercury's hour. Take a red bag and put in lavander for calm, mint for mental clarity, rosemary for protection and laurel for luck. Add a taglock or any protection sigil of your choice. 🧵⤵️ #witchsky #witchmadness #folkmagic

I'm sorry for replying so late! Thank you for you kind comment. I'm doing much better now 💜

Yes the energy has been very chaotic lately! I'm so excited about the blood moon but here in Italy the lunar eclipse will not be visible ❤️‍🩹🥹

how are y'all doing? I had a very rough week and took a break from posting! #witchsky #witchmadness

For Day 10 of #witchmadness, I want to do a short post about the liminal spaces.

My best jumps have corresponded with the betwix and betweens. So as a tool, for a #Hedgewitch, this is probably one of the most important. 🧵

Animism.
Is the idea that all things have spirit. I literally mean everything. My spin is that not all things have enough spirit to be awake.
The more life, story, and myth the greater the odds of it being awake. That doesn't mean it will want to work with you.
Still Consent

Intentions Vs Spells: how do you use them?

I use Intentions when I have no time to weave a spell, especially when I need something quickly.

A spell is the transposition of intention onto the physical plane. There's no spell without Intentions.
