the infamous Appalachian 'hey'
Out in the woods of the Appalachian mountains, there's a caution of advice that goes:
"If you hear anything while out in the woods - no, you didn't.
pawnsorkings
I would take a raven over a haint any day. That doesn't necessarily mean, if I couldn't spot a bird, I'd answer.

Post Herbalist, Pre Pre-Medical traditional Witchcraft: a Joke but a reality.
Before I hand feed you my BITTER solar-infused coffee-induced rant, let me give a few ( comically self made) definitions: *see notes
Post Herbalist witchcraft: "energy work**" and magics that are performed by peoples with no means, funds, or ability to obtain herbs and knowledge of herbal medicine for magic and health. This loss of knowledge is due to colonization, fear of herbalisms ties to witchcraft, and the push for modern"white medicine. Note*- I fucking hate the term energy work, yet the magic itself is very very real and used by me.
Pre Pre-Medical witchcraft: -Not to be confused with Pre-med schooling in preparation for grad school.- Pre Pre-medical is what I call the average knowledge of modern medicine that the average person can obtain by ways of public K-12 schooling and the internet. Its place in witchcraft is the knowledge of medicine and the dangers of herbs and or anti-vaxx/med dangers within magical communities. In essence, Pre Pre-medical witchcraft is the belief in modern medicine as well as magical healing methods. Not to be confused with holistic healing which is utter bullshit when taught as completely factual in organized religious spaces.
With these definitions explained less blurred in the mind of the greater trad witch community, and ignorant tumblr onlookers, I move on to my spiel.
As a professional witch, conjurer, seer, and drama queen, I struggle to find a home amongst communities that have watered down witchcraft for a younger, whiter, and less informed audience. Gone are the days of nuance and professionalism. Today is now ruled by forever-beginners, eternal-newbs, and influencers turned teachers. With this post I hope to separate the wheat from the chaff and find the cream of the crop.
To practice witchcraft in a time where herbs are expensive yet taught as the only means to perform spells; and at a time when cities and suburbs have ruined free access to native plants; I find myself performing more prayer and power based magics. No longer do i spend money on herbs, candles and the like. Nor do I plan to purchase the land required to grow my own. I invest in verbal charms, prayer, writing, movement, and my own bodily secretions. I jokingly call this "Post herbalist Pre Pre-Medical witchcraft."It is more informed and rooted in history than generic "energy work". And is less concerned with the consumerism that is forced upon modern witches via herbs and more. The joke is the name is so humorously long and ignorant that it kind of works. I expect the internet will love it considering you folks love putting every adjective before "witch" such as "solar witches" and "crystal witches". Although I suspect people looking for such titles do not have the attention span to read this wordy blog post.
In 2020 I challenged myself to go a year without spending a dollar on my magic. Here we are in 2024 and I'm still going. Yes I use plant materials. Yes I buy things for spirit offerings. But no. I don't have a huge cabinet of herbs and candles. I fully rely on my spirits, my witchflame, the land, and my body to produce magic. No money required. I could spend another fifteen paragraphs explaining how to do so. But alas, i don't care to share. As I said, I am done engaging with forever-newbs who are at the same place they started in witchcraft ten years ago.
I hope my short yet long* rant leads you to... something useful
*note: this is actually a very short read. But in the modern internet sphere we are all unable to process information that's not in video format consisting of no more than 2 minutes. so this is a long post nowadays. hehe im really on a soap box today. sorry im so bitter.

I am a woman, and I learned what that meant to me in various ways, through various people.
Like the single mom caring for 7 kids on a gas station salary.
Like the woman wearing a bandana and apron tending a veggie garden outside her trailer to save her and her friends money.
Like the women told they couldn't do something cause they weren't a man, and did it anyway.
Like the woman who learned to bow hunt to feed her family.
Like the girl riding an old motorcycle or car pooling with coworkers to save gas getting to work.
Like the lady working on her neighbors car cause every mechanic tried to cheat her outa everything she had to fix it.
Like the gal smoking out back of the IGA between a double shift.
Like the girls who just wore whatever and were just women as they defined themselves, good hardworking people.
The lunch ladies
Gas station clerks
Soup kitchen volunteers
Junk yard scrappers
The women who inspired me, who I wanted to be like growing up, who I felt like, where women all beat too hard by life, but kept going and kept being good people.
Woman hood is hard working, self defined, its independence, tenderness in hard places.
I wish I saw more trans girls see themselves in that, tried to emulate that, and not anime bullshit and tv models or "influencers".

Poem for today:
Dear March -- Come in --
How glad I am --
I hoped for you before --
Put down your Hat --
You must have walked --
How out of Breath you are --
Dear March, Come right up the stairs with me --
I have so much to tell --
I got your Letter, and the Birds --
The Maples never knew that you were coming -- till I called
I declare -- how Red their Faces grew --
But March, forgive me -- and
All those Hills you left for me to Hue --
There was no Purple suitable --
You took it all with you --
Who knocks? That April.
Lock the Door --
I will not be pursued --
He stayed away a Year to call
When I am occupied --
But trifles look so trivial
As soon as you have come
That Blame is just as dear as Praise
And Praise as mere as Blame --
(Emily Dickinson)

Stopped for lunch.
Coming over a hill & finding a fucking runaway tagged goat running down the road on a 2 lane is TERRIFYING.
Anyways, I get to drive through these mountains in like, an hour!!

Top: Cardamine concatenata (Cutleaf Toothwort)
Left: Glechoma hederacea (Ground Ivy)
Right: Corydalis flavula (Yellow Corydalis)
Plants I saw on a forest walk a couple weeks ago! I had Cutleaf Toothwort and Ground Ivy leaves in my salad. The Toothwort was milder than spinach, and the Ground Ivy had a complex herbal taste, like if sage, oregano, and mint had a baby.
I’m an amateur, so remember always do your own research and confirm your ids thoroughly before eating anything you gather from outside! Stay safe and show nature some love 💚
