Mullien leaves are a good healer against the irritant gasses sprayed on protesters. To sooth eyes and mucus membranes, pour boiling water over the leaves, a put you face into the gentle steam to reduce redness and swelling. Ancient healing in modern troubled times.
Mullien flowers in oil is a cure for an ear ache. I also will put mullien flowers and garlic slices into apple cider vinegar to help with ear infection from viral, bacteria, and yeast. Ridgeline healing at its best.
Tonight I heard my first screech owl of the season while canning green beans in the summer kitchen. A good swamp witch knows that the larder best be halfway full when the first screech owl calls. Lucky for me it is. A reminder winter will be here before we know it.
The word revolution is being floated.
President Musk and First Lady Donni have destroyed the economy faster than any leader of any country ever. I guess they think when America was great was October of 1929. #fdjt #resistance #goodbyeUSA

This lady will BE the warlord. So Musk might want to hide out. I butcher my own beef, pork, goat, ven, bear, chicken... I'm pretty sure whiny whites boys wouldn't be too hard to figure out.
View from a hospital room where someone recovered from needed surgery, paid for by their health insurance, terrified they would be caught and deported before they could recover. She has taken care of YOUR children. We stood as a barrier against her oppressors. #FDJT #FuckNazis #FuckICE #resistance

TFG Mollusk. Now he’s trying to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court seat because he thinks he can. I’m thinking we may need to send some $$$ for
that race and screw up fElon’s plans. PLEASE repost and let’s help Judge Crawford keep the court majority Dem and ruin fElon’s plan! 🇺🇸💙
As a child I road my horse, camped out with my dog, or laid on my belly watching tadpoles turn into frogs.
Mother West Wind stories were some of my favorite as a child.
Oh luv, here in Wisconsin, we want Canada to buy us.
How many Tesla’s should we throw in the Boston Harbor?
Sign of the day…
I will start tapping a few black walnut today.
Silver pot of curds and whey.
Fed up the beasts well and spent the weekend in town. I gave a class on cheese making, and took a class on wilderness first aid. Got home late last night to the trees calling. Spring is whispering from the roots. Sap is rising. Shivers... #witchsky #pagansky #cunningfolk #livingseasonally
Yeah, I don't wear "witchy" stuff. So that I understand. My craft is not a fashion statement. Tho I do agree with the power that despite TPTB's best efforts, our rebel souls have survived even the witch burnings.
So getting upset with a t-shirt that reclaims the word and gives a more powerful status to those killed for it seems silly. Even today most people practice some form of magic, back then it was even more common. We are the grand daughters of those left able to breed. Unless we are male of course.
We know in history people were found guilty of being witches. Whatever the evidence, whatever they thought of themselves, they were found guilty of witchcraft. The definition we decide to give the word is irrelevant . They were found to be witches and were often executed for it.
I am older and in my youth a woman defined as a "bitch" was a negative. We denied being a bitch. Then we claimed the title and raised to a powerful status. Calling a woman a bitch is not the slur it once was. We will not be victims.
Understood. I think the difference here is that the author sees those found guilty of witchcraft only as victims, while others who reclaim the word witch elevate those tortured and killed to a more powerful status...
Sorry, the article needed a good deal of editing so skimming was the best I could do. When does the history start in the article?
It just depends on your definition of "witch". Women land owners were hung for witchcraft (I am a woman land owner). People who upset the status quo were burned as witches (I upset the status quo as much as possible). On the other hand, cunning folk were revered into modern times.
I'll spend most of the weekend in town, so I took a walk down to white stone spring this morning to charge up on wild places before I deal with humans (good humans, but I am an introvert). Spring isn't here yet, but for the first time I can start smelling it in the air. #witchsky #northwitch

Broken plow in a autumn forest full of leaves
Blacksmith shop filled with different tools of the trade, and an old forge dead center
Homemade metal concave disk forged for cooking.
Art is transformative, taking raw material and creating something new. I don't have the artist eye, a magic many of you hold doesn't flow thru me, but I am a blacksmith with my grandfather's forge. My art today was turning a broken plow into 12 discadas for cooking around the fire. #witchsky #prep
