Sometimes we do workshops (we're doing a candle making workshop in August). It's going to be hot so I thought maybe something later in the evening like a labyrinth walk or something.
What is something you'd like to do in a group setting?
We've already done workshops on sigils, besom making, witches' ladders, runes, all kinds of divination, stones, identifying plants in the woods, making incense, making saining wands.

I keep meaning to do more drawings from explicitly high or low perspectives in order to practice perspective and proportions—and so that I can learn to draw more dynamic scenes for future illustration work. So here's an elf witch riding a broomstick, seen from below.
It's intricately connected and part of the work, so I create it myself. I am slowly inching closer to a unified visual style for the series.
You'd think sticking to silhouettes would make it simpler, but my stars, it's complex to get the essence of a character into just an outline! It's fun, though.
The cover for book one is new. It's Freya using plants as murder-weapons. 🖤
For those of you in southwestern Indiana/western KY, I hope to see you at the Summer Solstice event at Angel Mounds! Let me know what time you are going. I'm going to try to make it at sunrise.

from the blog- re: Baltic goddess Ragana:
"Of course ... authority based on intimidation and ignorance drove the old ways to the wilds, outside civilised village and city life. Of course they labelled these women as dangerous or deranged- for the simple truths they lived were indeed dangerous to the repressive patriarchy..."
Birch catkins- Birch is a tree associated with Ragana and many other European goddesses, suggesting the antiquity of the association. #witch#OldWays
Ce week-end nous serons à la Bibliothèque de Genève pour un atelier #Wikiwitches 🔮 sur @wikidata !
Wiki-quoi ? Wikidata, une base de données en ligne et participative, qui nous permettra de cartographier l'histoire des chasses aux sorcières 🧙♀️ à #Genève.
I was thinking of doing an, "I drink of my sisters" event, like in The Craft.
We would do a full circle and everyone would bring something to symbolize what they want/need to bring into their lives. We take a bottle around, fill everyone's cups when it's their turn, and we all listen and witness what they want to manifest. Party afterwards.
Thoughts become words become actions so saying it out loud often helps us commit.
My curses and hexes are always in response to something. For me it's not about causing some harm to the target, although that is part of it. Instead, it's been a powerful moment of me drawing my line in the sand. Sending a message to my brain and to the ether "You may not treat me and mine in such a manner without repercussions."
They've been moments where I take back my power and acknowledge my self worth.
