  • Witches and Wine | Interview with Professor David Mason about Sanshin 산신 – Korean mountain spirits with @hichaweon of #witchesandwine ~ “I’M SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS INTERVIEW! I spoke to Professor David Mason, the world’s pre-eminent scholar of Korean mountain spirits, called san shin 산신. Korea is 80% mountain, so you best believe that these san shin are some powerful elemental forces. Check out the time stamps below – David goes into everything from how North Korea uses mountain myths in their propaganda, and even goes into how to give ritual offerings to the san shin. Also…hello mountain food!” Check out the video under our Creative / Media section #thehouseoftwigs #thot #shamanism #spirituality #witchesofinstagram #witch #witchy #pagansofinstagram
  • “This is still my house, freak. Tell me what you really want to know now as this tumultuous moon rises, as your inquisitive words mingle with the chaotic moonlight and alchemize a truth serum more powerful than any wielded by the faithless ones. I’ll share anything you really want to know. My psychic landscape is yours to walk now, but I must warn you that the terrain is still encumbered by all manner of trip-wire vines and woman-made traps leftover from a Winter gone too long. I don’t even remember where they are or why I built them, but I know they’ll swallow even you, even the most cunning of sorceresses, should they suspect a poisonous intent. Ask me anything, my love. Know that what little wisdom I have to share wasn’t won by luck, gleaned through boredom, or freely given to me. I’m no trust-fund Witch. What I know has been picked clean from the bones of who I used to be, sniffed out from spells gone wrong and waking dream-visions so potent I remember them like I remember the feckless days of our youth. I’ve written and rewritten every recipe I’ve got with my own aching hands, and I learned the moon-language of curse-and-light one word at a time.” - This is My House Freak: A Witch’s Open Invitation by @wolfwomanwitch on #thehouseoftwigs #THoT #witchschool #witchesofinstagram #witchy #pagansofinstagram #witch #wildwoman #spiritual
  • “Walk barefoot. Feel the grass beneath your feet. Feel the earth underfoot, and feel it teeming with life. As you do, recognise the forces of life and death, recognise that from the death and decay of previous years new life springs forth. Think about that transformation, the processes that create this life. Think about it and feel it. Absorb that energy, feel it inside of you. Keep a hold of that feeling and use it to help you move forward, as you expand and grow, discarding those things that no longer serve you. Sit beneath a tree. Just sit. Be quiet. Let your senses delight in the play of light and dark, let yourself feel the rough bark, the dark earth below you, the kiss of the air, still cool but with a freshness that is cleansing, awakening. Feel the strength of the tree, the stability of it. Recognise this being and all that if offers, not only us, but what it offers to the world. Oxygen, food, fuel, a home. Can you feel it, alive and awake? Learn of its secrets, for the trees know many.” ~ The Wakening #obeahwomanwhispers @emmakathrynwildwitch #witchesofinstagram #pagansofinstagram #thot #thehouseoftwigs
  • Protecting your Power ~ “When I decided to start publicly teaching, I was lucky enough to be pulled aside by a few of my own teachers and friends to be given some great insight and advice on what to expect. Despite my own resistance to the idea that anyone would ever be jealous of me, I was promised that some would be. But more so, I was warned about those who would feel threatened by my influence, despite feeling this notion was absurd. I was told that there would be tons of gossip, projection of who I am (both positive and negative), twisting of words, putting words in my mouth, attacks against my character, major betrayals, breaking trust and confidentiality, and challenge my motives. People will try to turn you on other people and others will try to turn people on you. I was warned that people would try to involve me in drama that had nothing to do with me, and that they would repaint my character to serve their narrative when I no longer fit their agenda. At worse I was cautioned that in some cases others would work magick against me. People can love and support you until one human moment, one single post on social media sharing a bad day, one single misunderstanding, believing one piece of gossip, and then turn completely against you. I was warned that this happens to others as well and to always be aware of it.” - more on #thehouseoftwigs #THoT by @matauryn #witchcraft #witchesofinstagram #witchschool #witchy #boundaries #pagansofinstagram
