  • Let us meet neath the ancient yew tree... . I've been pondering the connection between yews and churchyards. Many popular explanations, such as the trees being grown as stock for English long bows and to keep them out of the way of foraging cattle, have generally been rejected. My own conjectured theory is this: As we know, many churches were built on already established pagan sites, I guess to create a smoother transition to the idea of Christianity. As most yews are so much older than the original church buildings (sometimes by centuries) it makes sense to assume the yew trees were already there. Pagans, animists, perhaps to mark a significant place may have planted yews. Seemingly immortal (they can live for thousands of years) yews represent the worshippers own undying devotion to the earth and it's spirits, and create the ideal living home for a god or deity to inhabit. Christians may have kept up this tradition, allowing the trees to remain, and changing their significance to representing the eternal house of god, the promise of immortality. Perhaps yew trees were the guardians of the pagan dead. I guess I'm just rambling, but what do of think? . #yew #churchyard #graveyard #cauldron #broom #ancient #witch #witches #witchesofinstagram #traditionalwitchcraft #history #myth #legend #britishtraditionalwitchcraft #pagan #heathen #animist #folkmagic #wanderlust #oldtree #spirit #deity #occult #nature
  • This morning I sat by the open window, and could hear songbirds and the cooing of collared doves. It made me think of summer, of long days spent outside in lanes of cow parsley and meadows of golden haze. It was the sweetest sound I've heard in what feels like too long; this miserable grey winter is draining. Bring me snow or bring me spring! . #songbird #dove #collareddove #pigeon #summer #spring #life #sun #nature #winter #britain #rain #witch #witchcraft #witchesofinstagram #birdwatching #britishbirds #dreaming #wanderlust #adventure #pagan #heathen #potion #feathers

  • In the summer of last year this strange and beautiful frog was gifted to me by some spirit of the land, it's the only explanation. It may sound bizarre, but I went out specifically looking for something like this, something liminal and chthonic, and against all odds it lay in the garden waiting for me. It was perfectly dry and preserved, who knows how long it must must have lain there, fragile and gothically posed. I will treasure it always. I like to think that when I'm dead a large wooden chest containing all of my magical possessions and collected curios will remain behind, for some unknown person to enjoy and explore. This frog of betwixt and between shall be part of that collection, rescued from deterioration. . #frog #toad #magic #betwixt #liminal #gift #spirit #faerie #folkmagic #witch #witches #witchcraft #witchesofinstagram #traditionalwitchcraft #talisman #death #crystals #spells #jars #pagan #heathen #curio #curiosity #witchthings

  • Look what's arrived! The magical toad-witch pendant by @gemma.gary from @troy_books_publishing. A symbol of the folkloric initiatory rite, where an aspiring witch would feed a churchyard dwelling toad a piece of sacramental bread to receive strength and power In their Arte.

  • It's at night when the world is theirs again. When the shadows creep in, when ordinary folk are asleep in their beds, something awakens. Something primitive, timeless. The rustle in the hedgerow, the whispering in the trees, the call of the screech owl, the glimmer in the moonlight. The magic hasn't gone from this world, oh no. It's at night when the world is theirs again. . #witch #witchcraft #witchesofinstagram #witches #rooftop #photography #night #stars #galaxy #traditionalwitchcraft #folkmagic #magic #pagan #owl #mystical #stang #broom #solitarywitch #midnight #liminal #betwixt #fairies #faeries #gothic #pointyhat #enchanted #twilight
  • How do you know you're a witch? I think part of it is this: It's a realisation that everything is precious, that the world beyond your doorstep is filled with treasures. The smooth wave tossed stones on the shore, the burnished gold of a fallen oak leaf, little toadstools that grow in dark hidden places, the unassuming herbs and wildflowers that hold so much potential twining in the hedgerow. It's all magic! Every little thing is a jewel filled with spirit, with power, with secrets. Being a witch is wanting it all! To admire earth's treasures, to touch the wave tossed stones, to smell the loamy earth of dark hidden places, and to learn the secrets of all precious things. In short, it's falling in love again and again with small miracles 🍂 . #witch #witchcraft #witches #witchesofinstagram #witchythings #witchlife #spells #preciousthings #curios #toadstools #treasure #herbs #wildflowers #traditionalwitchcraft #amonite #crystals #pagan #ritual #folkmagic #magic #henfeathers #craft #oldways #oldone #nature #wild #altar
