  • 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
  • Solitary trees are like guardians of the land. Portals to the otherworld. They stand, and breathe, and watch in silence through every passing season. It's good to greet them as we pass by, to be kind to those wiser than ourselves. . #tree #lonelytree #solitary #hawthorn #wild #otherworld #fae #fairy #faerie #portal #nature #england #castleton #hills #derbyshire #caves #magic #enchanted #sunset #pagan #witch #witchcraft #witchesofinstagram #earth #ancient #wisdom #treeoflife
  • A dying hybrid clematis on the witch's garden gate. Wild clematis is known as Traveller's-joy and Old-man's-beard. In the winter months its many feathery seed heads drape over hedges like an otherworldly mist ✨ . #garden #witchesgarden #witchgarden #magicgarden #pagan #witch #witchcraft #witchesofinstagram #clematis #travellersjoy #oldgate #photography #mist #magic #nature #dying #autumn #winter #flowers #horticulture #english #witches
  • I'm dreaming of the greenwood, with its towering pillars of smooth tawny bark and lofty heights of verdant green. Endless corridors carpeted with moss, lichen and fiddleheads, that beckon the quixotic rambler. A place full of song and silence, of wind and stillness, of dryads and Fae folk. But I'm also longing for that illusive transformation, a clear canopy of stars over an ethereal land of ice and snow, a crystal cathedral after the slow autumn death. I want a really cold winter, with snow drifts and hoarfrost! I want numb fingers and a crimson nose, and to watch my frosted breath weave through the trees ❄️ . #witch #witchcraft #witchesofinstagram #woods #woodland #greenwood #winter #whitedress #pagan #heathen #summer #dreamer #frost #snow #fiddleheads #nature #gothic #englishwoods #tradcraft #ramble #adventure #ethereal #fairy #faery #faefolk #wanderlust
  • The cauldron, a principal tool for a witch, but perhaps underutilized in a lot of modern magical practices. From Cerridwen’s cauldron of poetic inspiration, to the cast iron cooking pots dangling in the stony hearths of Medieval cottages; a practitioner of the occult is truly lost without the ability to brew potions, to raise power with heat and fire. I’m a big fan of sympathetic or homeopathic magic, a belief that ‘like attracts like’ when imbued with the correct energy and intention. A cauldron brimming and bubbling over an open fire is the ideal conduit for your magical workings, a literal melting pot to enhance the potency of the spells which you are sending off into the cosmos, when filled with the roots, herbs, bones and stones that have an inherent sympathy with your current work. I’m inviting you to imagine the cauldron, not as an incense burner, ash catcher, or symbol for the ‘feminine’ but to see its potential as a tool for a practice of intuitive alchemy. This is where you can express your spontaneity. Make use of foraged herbs and collected elements as well as your environment. Whisper to each ingredient and gift it power and purpose before you throw it into the pot of boiling water (also think, moon water? Storm water?), become creative. A ritual to bring something to an end? Scrape up the very autumn leaves you walk upon and add them to your brew. Like chemistry, you are creating something new from various elements as they combine. Let the ingredients simmer together, strengthening and transforming towards your desired effect, let the smoke and steam rise to the stars. Stir your intent into the brew. Boil it all down to a high concentration. This very act may be seen as the work itself, or you may wish to keep a vial of what remains for anointing yourself or your tools in future rituals (unless of course it’s a drinkable healing potion etc.) The cauldron is like a good old seasoned cooking pot, the more you use it, the stronger the flavour, and the more power and very essence of ‘you’ is contained in every subsequent spell ✨ . #witchesofinstagram #witch

  • I'm becoming fascinated by the moon, its phases, and its power upon us. I was recently gifted a book by a witchy friend (the best kind of friend 😉) called Moon Time, a comprehensive guide to harmonising with lunar cycles. Tomorrow is a new moon in Scorpio, a time for new beginnings and to explore our deeper, often darker emotions. It is also the perfect time for detoxification. I will personally be fasting the entire day while drinking lots of water, to boost my immune system and generally as a much needed cleanse. Do you have any moon plans? 🌝 . P.S I don't know what I'm doing in this photo, I think I was trying to be dramatic! . #moon #newmoon #moonphases #darkmoon #moontime #lunar #scorpio #night #vintagemoon #vintage #witch #witches #witchcraft #witchesofinstagram #pagan #heathen #moonmagic #tradcraft #witchesofinstagram🔮🌙 #fast #magic
