Re-blogging, because something about this made my heart feel a little fuller a few years back, and I need it once more as a reminder. 🖤

Witchy intro pretty please? Your writing is so beautiful - love your blog btw 💞

Arg, you’re really too kind! And sure thing~

It is only in the late autumn drizzle, when the water droplets cling to crisp, golden leaves that you will know her. Pleasantly musky books and and delicate scent of incense cling to her like a perfume. She is a myth in some circles, but those unafraid to look black cats in the eyes know where to seek her. It is said that she dances with river mermaids and sings the stars to sleep. When the air is electric with storm she is rumored to ride the clouds. Though she emits a quite kind of peace, there is a secret hellion behind her smile. The cryptids call her friend, in fact she  sometimes counts herself among them. She is the gentle brush of cat whiskers with the claws to match if her patience is tested. Her power lives in tea and whisky; soothing but with a bit of a punch. Enchantress of damp forests, this one knows what it means to run barefoot through the hills alongside the fauns. She is spirit and soul unbridled; something of comfort and of wildness. If you are lucky enough to glimpse this fabled enchantress, you will finally know what it is to find Earth’s sacred powers.

“Magic does work. The fact that the sun rises every morning and we’re here to see it is magic. The fact that the moon glows big and bright and lightens the way in the darkness is magic. [..] And we celebrate that. And we hold it very, very dear to our hearts.”

Lavender Faery Wine for Imbolc

Ingredients: 1 cup of milk per serving. 1 tsp honey ¼ tsp of vanilla extract ½ a cup of brewed lavender tea Lavender buds or cinnamon Steep lavender buds or any lavender tea in ½ a cup of hot water. The more tea leaves or buds you use, the stronger the lavender taste will be. Warm a cup milk on the stove; be careful not to boil or else it’ll froth up and make a mess. Once warmed, pour in the tea, honey, and vanilla extract. Serve in a teacup and sprinkle lavender buds or cinnamon on top.

Wild is the music of the autumnal winds amongst the faded woods.

Life is an echo. What you send out comes back. What you sow you reap. What you give you get. What you see in others exists in you.

Great Grey Owl by Niilo Isotalo

She is a living fire…At the same time she is extremely tender, brave, intelligent, and sacrifices everything, or if you prefer, acquires everything by sacrifice.
