the Devil card keeps turning up, and i have to say it makes me smile. meanwhile, my window is full of strange reflections. it's as though an unseen being is holding up a lantern for the moon as she moves across the sky. #redlight #moonmagick #devil #tarotdemarseille #witchy https://www.instagram.com/p/CiRmkPIOtoS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sagebrush isn't Sage! ...but she's a wise old witchy being with a ton of wisdom to share.

I'm feeling a new appreciation for this native desert herb lately.... read more at my blog (link below)
