hi! do you know any epithets for “witch”? thx!!
okay, this is not an epithet, but the dictionary entry for it is amazing
trivenefica, -ae, an arrant poison-mixer, a thorough hag, witch, or sorceress
don’t we all aspire to be a thorough hag?

Friendly reminder that the reason so many modern pagan beliefs revolve around fertility symbols and fertility rites is that Victorian occultists were RIDICULOUSLY horny.

This Past March [2024]
Assorted mischief, feasts, and wanderings from this past March.

A local birch mother was felled even though she wasn't ill or a danger to property.
A solar cake offering [pumpkin-enriched cornmeal hoecakes] on Komoeditsa.
There are good mail days, and then there are stellar mail days. 📦
Maty Syra Zemlia [Moist Mother Earth] and Mokosh guiding our ancestors home.
Gifting the final paska from last Easter to my chosen Larch sponsor for the year.
Final blessing of St. Mary Magdalene’s rose-infused crème de mûre [blackberry liqueur].

I've spent a few years on the "stirring intent into your [beverage] isn't necessary or even that great of a way to formulate a daily practice" train and now I've wrapped 100% back around to that it's actually pretty decent and more people should take it seriously.

ÞÆS OFEREODE
ÞISSES SWA MÆG
(that was overcome.
so too may this.)
from Deor, old english poem, c. 9th century.
new riso design! John Barleycorn is a folkloric figure considered the embodiment of the wheat harvest, and the subject of the English and Scottish folk song that describes the cyclical nature of his birth, death, and processing into bread and ale each year. this one was about the comfort in the constancy of things. the world could end. but the wheat field rises anew. the year turns around again.
