The wise witch knows winter not as a silence, but as a crowding choir of persistent spirits. For there is no soundless part of the land, no period when the land does not offer up voices of feral magic. The witch merely needs to listen to learn this truth. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982

[Mark Rees @reviewwales]

"A new Scottish tartan has been created to honor the thousands of people—primarily women—executed for witchcraft in Scotland between the 16th and 18th centuries.”

🪈 The Amadán Dubh

The Amadán Dubh —sometimes known as the “Dark Fool”—is a trickster figure found in Scottish and Irish folklore. He roams the countryside after sunset dancing and playing music on his pipe. But beware! You dont want to run into the Amadán Dubh. One touch from him was thought to cause madness.

📚It is worth noting that in many cultures those regarded as insane were treated with reverence. It seemed as if they were envoys from another world because they could see things no one else could see and danced to music only they could hear. People would actually remove their hats and bow their heads when they saw a “Fool” passing by.

The Fool from the Hofämterspiel cards (1455)

Reading books from the 1800s really puts into perspective how dumb everything is now.
