Interested in the witch trials? Make sure you read witch trial histories written by historians, not those by non-historians pushing grand theories. Over and out.

Today is the first time in 17 years that I haven't been on any Pagan event/organisation committees. It's a very weird feeling.

[Josephine Winter @winterstidings]

And like, in both directions.

Watching Time Team while polishing ritual tools that were used over the weekend is... oddly satisfying.

@CaeliaRegina See, I need to write this

[Josephine Winter @winterstidings]

Seems I can't stop plotting Yule-based Hallmark movies, after @CaeliaRegina pointed out the glaring hole in the market.

You are never alone. You are a planet. Your fertile body contains countless ecosystems. You are home to civilizations of millions of microbiota to whom at best you are an unfathomably large and indifferent deity. Be an involved, benevolent deity with more consistent self care.

@bencjenkins The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Starling. Not usually my cup of tea, but goodness me.

Ancestor veneration tip: if you had ancestors who fought in WWII, they aren’t going to accept your offerings or even give you the time of day and may even curse you if you start spouting white supremacist and fascist ideologies. They didn’t punch nazis to watch you become one.

@jack_of_wands Thank you! I'm super proud of it. Taken in an oak forest last spring.
