A friend taking pictures of the balsamroot and lupine bloom on grassy hills.
A few years back, I went hiking with @payslee.bsky.social on another daylight savings time morning. Stopped for coffee and heard a barista shout out, "Daylight savings special. Quadruple espresso coming up!" 😆 #WitchyWalk
A nice day for a #WitchyWalk with my hellhound before the weather gets real crazy.
Easily one of my most favorite activities and ways to bring myself back to center.

An old log covered with moss surrounded by ferns and fog.
My first #witchywalk of 2026 in some nearby woods. Being in nature helps me remember who I am. #WitchSky
A gnarled log with spirit guardian faces and mossy background
These two guardians greeted me as I entered a waterfall viewing area on a #WitchyWalk #WitchSky
A fallen log with no bark deeply etched with what appears to be an image from the bark beetles that burrow under the bark of distressed or sick trees.
I found what appears to be a sigil, created by bark beetles.

Demolished house site with the herbs and perennials still going strong.
The calendula at this demolished house site is still going strong.
I use calendula magically to represent the sun, healing, and to strengthen magical barriers. The plant is an amazing healer, but do any of you use it in magic? #Witchcraft #WitchSky #WitchyWalk
A holly tree with berries and a branch arching.
I found this great holly tree, and I might finally be ready to enter the holly gate of Solstice/Yule. Samhain stuck around for me a long time this year.
Holly is protective and was often included in gifts during the Roman festival of Saturnalia. #Witchcraft #WitchSky #Witchywalk
Rooftops with the clouds parting
After my walk yesterday, I was happy to see the clouds open up a little and welcome the night sky in. And this morning I was able to catch the last of this month's full moon phase as it set.

A weathered clump of tree roots from an overturned tree. Forest background. Autumn forest with ferns and fallen leaves.
I went out for a #WitchyWalk with a friend to take advantage of the dry, clear weather. Good views and lots of magical tree creatures. This one is still in its root dancer phase. But as the roots weather the faces of the root spirits who lived there will start to show. #WitchSky
Red autumn leaves against a golden pink glow as the setting sun shines through thin clouds.
Yesterday's #WitchyWalk at sunset was so amazing. The colors were so deep and glowing in the liminal light of dusk. After spending a lot of the day editing and working on blogs, I had to get out. So magical. #WitchSky
autumn colored leaves against a twilight sky
I went out for a #witchywalk during a brief pause in the rain. This has been such a good year for autumn leaf color. I use the leaves for color magic, composting spells and on my altar during the Autumn full moon to for seasonal energy and to represnt a change from waxing to waning energy.

A little frosty #WitchyWalk this morning ❄️
Deep green mossy forest and ferns with golden sunlight beams.
I took a #WitchyWalk with a friend. It was magically delicious to walk the secret paths of green and gold.
A vibrant Rose of Sharon bloom, with luscious petals bearing inner markings of red velvet. The single-center pistil is thick in the tradition of mallow
While out and about I came across Rose of Sharon, or Hibiscus syriacus
I love the Mallow family so much, a vitamin C & demulcent-rich medicinal. Other members include the Hollyhock & Malva neglecta

A flower of two Datura blossoms in full bloom at night.
The moon speaks to me this night (Yeah)
She says, Follow my light
Like a moth's inner compass

Moth napping on a flower
It's almost too hot to breathe but I took a short #witchywalk anyhow, and was rewarded with a moth napping in what I think is a rose of Sharon bloom

Clear sky, wide trail, and forest trees frame a mountain that still has snow on its flanks.
I have been trying to find time to rebuild my physical strength and get back out into the magic of mountain, sky, & forest.
It's alpine season, and it was a glorious #WitchyWalk with a friend. #WitchSky
