The witchcraft I practice is based on living within my swampy home. Spring floods and storms bring nutrients to my home and is the reason my house is built on stilts. I adapt my magic to the high water and winds today. #witchsky #pagansky #witchery #cunningfolk #witch #livingwithnature

Happy to see this little one looking over the edge as the goats, dogs, evil cat and I walked past. Welcome to the world! #greathornedowl #nature #witch #witchery #witchsky #pagansky #cunningfolk
The first nettles of the season. After a long winter of eating heavy dense, easy storage food, the first greens of the season feels amazing. I love living seasonally. #seasonaliving #foraging #witchery #cunningfolk #witch #hedgewitch #witchsky #pagansky
I've been seeing her tracks around the farm for the last few days, but today I can see the girl's butt under the porch. I left her a bit of salt as a gift before I left her to herself. Good to see one of the neighbors. #livingwild #woodswitch #witchery #witchsky #pagansky #cunningfolk #witch
On days when the man-made world seems too wrong, when anger seems to draw too much power...going back to simple lets me catch my breath. Eggs and bacon cooked at the hearth as the wind howls around the cottage. #hearthmagic #firemagic #witchery #witchsky #cunningfolk #folkmagic #hearthwitch #peace
Greetings from the wild. This one was waiting for me as I went out to gather sap today. #wildlife #livingwithnature #cunningfolk #northernliving #witchsky #witchery #pagan #naturemagic #tracker #badcamerashaking
Gaze into my cauldron. After boil maple sap for hours on end, figures appear in the foam. Secrets are revealed. #witchery #witchsky #pagansky #witch #hedgewitch #woodswitch #cunningfolk #backwoodswisdom
Because cottonwoods are vulnerable to being blown over, they shed branches in the high winds. We can use this to harvest buds for balm of Gilead without harming the tree. It is a good salve for wounds and burns. #healingherbs #witchery #pagansky #witchsky #cunningfolk #healer
The goats are tucked away and the cat and the dogs are resting by the fire. Darkness covers this land, unbroken except for the oil lamps over the woodstove. The witch's kitchen will invite all who wish to share. Goodnight, everyone. #witchsky #witchery #pagansky #cunningfolk #simpleliving #peace

Living with nature means living with the seasons. It is coming up quickly on tree tapping season. The first trees I tap are black walnuts and they will be running soon. Spent the day getting ready for the boiling time. #woodswoman #foraging #homesteading #witchsky #pagansky #cunningfolk
Listen to the crows. They will always tell you where the predators are. #woodslore #woodswoman #livingwithnature #witchsky #pagansky #cunningfolk #bushcraft
Straddling the modern world of the norms and the wild world of the swamp means every now and again I need to come home and file and clean my broken fingernails. #cunningfolk #pagansky #witchsky #homesteading #homesteading #bushcraft #hedgewitch
Heading out into the night to do a bit of ice fishing up on a hidden lake. I need a bit of time away from the human world. I'm going out where the wolves howl along with the wind. #solitude #backtonature #freedom #cunningfolk #witchsky #pagansky #fishing #bushcraft
Usnea, or old man's beard, is a sign of a healthy swamp. Deer, bear, and even the wily fox will use this medicine from the deep forest. Usnea is a wonderful antimicrobial, and can be used internally as a tea or tinture, or added to a salve for wound care. #bushcraft #witchsky #pagansky #cunningfolk
Snow covered roof with smoke rising against the forest
As a woodswoman I watch the rising smoke to see coming changes. The smoke has changed in the last few days. Something different is coming. #pagansky #witchsky #cunningfolk #signsofnature

To add something lighter to the mix, we're also playing The Wise-woman of Hogston by Thomas Heywood, a city-comedy that orbits the wise-woman and her terrible cold reading skills which the community accept. For some reason. #comedy #CunningFolk

Some kilt-clad fella was trying to sell me this yesterday. I was about to complain to a manager, but @emilygreymoore.bsky.social emailed me this morning to say that mine’s in the mail so I guess that’s ok.
