Ann Morgan's story highlights the importance of honouring historical legacies in folkloric narratives. I believe it's time for the woman behind the witch to be remembered. Let's celebrate her for all of her intricacies.
We are discussing definition 1 of necromancy and definition 2 of geomancy. (see attached images)
Do you believe the actual spirit of the undead is brought out of its state to communion with the necromancer against its will? Necromancy differs from regular mediumship because with medium ship are are asking for info or opening up to receive, and with necromancy, you are doing a ritual to bring them.
It's okay if you don't come from a long line of witches.
Take pride in being the first in your family. Keep good notes for your kids, nieces & nephews, second cousin's weirdo kid.
Start your own family traditions.
Get your portrait painted in full witchy garb. Scan and donate your spells to the library. #Witch#Witchcraft#Witches
Reading a news article I just learned that the astrological date for Beltane is actually May 5th though everybody celebrates it on May 1st technically tomorrow is the true Beltane. So if you missed it on the 1st you have a second chance to do it again tomorrow. #Beltane#witches#pagan#ceremony#celebration#brightfire#sabbat
So I'm just livid. Yesterday, someone from the DNR contacted me to inquire about our Walk in the Woods for witches & he said, "Cutting down plants and removing them from the woods is illegal." I was like, "What? We aren't doing that."
Now I'm jumping through hoops, sending pamphlets that we're handing out to this guy so he can "approve" our walk in the woods after we've already rented a shelter.

I apparently messed it up, it's Samhain down south! fixed it.
Shape shifting, blood drinking witch legends of Macedonia! #youwontbealone is a Macedonian film (with english subs for me). A little dry but worth the watch if you enjoy this kind of film. A small role by #noomirapace always helps! #horror#witches
Three Corners Pagan Circle is hosting a Witches' Walk in the Woods.
$7 Park Entrance Fee. Teens and adults. Cherry Hill Shelter. We will walk through the woods to collect items to make a natural altar. You will learn about indigenous plants and their magical uses and how to use natural formations/locations in your work. See pinned post for details.
Hope to see you there! I will be leading this event!
Witch Trials were one of Jimmy Vi's better known exports to England. Mary Craig is worth listening to, Fala is just into Mid Lothian along the A68 (mid way between Pathhead and Lauder) . Easily accessible, and you can get a bus north or south as the hall is a short walk off the road. Warning - the hall is small.
This coming April 27th I will be giving a presentation at the Harvard Divinity School's Program for the Evolution of Spirituality on confronting White supremacy in Heathenry. It is part of a larger conference on alternative spiritualities engaging in our colonial and decolonial contexts with lots of presentations scheduled that I highly recommend.
The best part is this conference is free to attend, both in-person and online via Zoom.
I still can't believe I found out where she is buried. It still makes me emotional. When I started this journey, I hoped to rewrite her legacy and emphasise her humanity. Sometimes, behind the Folklore and stereotypes is a far more interesting story ✨️
