This is such a cool challenge started by @viahedera #regionalwitchcraftchallenge I’ve never really thought of Indiana as a magical place and have made every effort to find magic elsewhere. The energy here can be off putting. I think it has to do with the Native Americans that inhabited this land who were murdered and pushed out, and the huge old growth forest that used to be here. They were both wiped out for farming. Indiana is considered Midwestern in mindset, although it’s in the east. Were like a Kentucky with snow. So we’re a weird blend of north and south with lots of other cultures infused together.

I wasn't sure I was going to do the #regionalwitchcraftchallenge as my region is about a mile radius of my home in North Portland (Clackamas and Cowlitz land).

My practice is a secular DIY punk hearth witch practice built on philosophy, animism, folkloric bits, and some chaos magic thrown in for fun. I work a lot with what grows in my garden and literal trash I find on the street.

What you see is is rose cane, rosemary, Mugwort, sage, and hawthorn tines from my yard. They are often the most willing participants in my work. There's also a feather from a neighborhood crow and shed whiskers and claws for my cat Jackie. Acorns from the tree at the park down the street, broken mirror and washers picked up off the street, as well as some googly eyes I also found which you have no idea how useful they can be.

I see all your red string and raise you a box of red cinnamon dental floss with a needle tucked inside. It's been my go-to for travel and sewing things since I was a 90s punk kid sewing patches on my clothes. There's also my loop scissors that always come in handy.

The top row of jars is: salt I made from boiling down sea water on my 40th birthday, black salt made with the sea salt and charcoal of the last fire of the year in my house, a reusable spell jar with a specific purpose (I have several different purposes and activation methods) and war war made with rusty nails pulled from previous poorly constructed garden boxes at my house and a giant melted icicle from a storm that shut down the city for a week.

There's also a Sharpie marker for writing on things and on the floor below is one of my long arm staplers. I didn't know I was doing magic while crafting zines, which I've done since the 90s, until I started doing witchcraft over 15 year ago. I realized the same energy I feel when putting a zine together is the same energy I feel in spellwork. A stapler is a crucial tool in binding the zine together in its finished state.

So, I guess that's more of a peek at my practice than my region, but my region of Oregon has definitely been nestled in my soul since I was a child visiting my grandparents and I knew I belonged here.

Seeing all those lovely posts for the #regionalwitchcraftchallenge started by instagram user viahedera got me thinking about my own practice.

I come from the northern part of Germany and spent a few summers roaming around beaches to find bits of amber in the sand (to no avail). The ones in the photo were a gift.

In fact, most of the tools that have been constants in my practice are either gifts (like the star, which a friend from elementary school gave me), thrifted (like the tea cup), handmade (like the wand and runes) or things I found (like the feather of a snowy owl at the zoo).

In the future I want to incorporate more herbs, since I have started growing a few types on my balcony. I have also started to look into local plantlife. Since I moved to a different part of the country, it has also been a goal to learn more about the local witch lore as well.

Here’s my contribution to the #regionalwitchcraftchallenge started by Via Hedera

.

So I wasn’t sure if I should have taken part in this because #Maine doesn’t really have anything (that I know of) that is specific to the region.

To make up for that, I try to incorporate as much of the local flora, fauna, and landscape as I can.

.

-Maine black bear skull, gifted from a local hunter

-Novena candle (one side of my family is Catholic and that has started to influence my craft)

-Locally harvested cedar

-Two keepsakes of my departed grandparents

-Birch Water (à la “An Carow Gwyn”) with bark harvest from my property

-An antique rosary found while thrifting

-A hag stone from the coast of Maine

-Selected bones from my casting kit that are all local animals (red fox, coyote, beaver, bobcat)

-An arrowhead from our state museum

-Ritual blade made from white-tail deer

.
