  • We have a new course available on THoT: The School of Ritual ~An Introduction to Elemental #Magic by @emmakathrynwildwitch (LINK IN BIO ) “It is my hope that by the end of this course that not only will you have a firm understanding of the Elements as concepts and actual forces, but that you will also have the practical knowledge to directly utilise them fully in your own personal crafts and practises. The Elements are familiar to anyone interested in witchcraft and are some of the first concepts encountered; there’s always an Elements section in every witchcraft 101 book. And, for the record, there’s nothing wrong with those books and they can be helpful in the very beginning, but you do eventually outgrow them, leaving you wanting something deeper. This course will require that you engage with your own locality. Much of the work contained herein focuses on the self and the individual’s relationship with the Elements, as such, personal growth is an important aspect, and so the course will be different for every person. There is so much more to experience and know about the Elements, this journey really is one of discovery and I hope you’re as excited about this as I am!” $65 for over 20 lessons of content, meditations, journaling and references. #elementalmagic #practicalmagic #witchcraft #witch #witchschool #thehouseoftwigs #thot #witchesofinstagram #pagansofinstagram #magick #earthairfirewater
  • “As the seasons change the forest changes and so do we. There are many lessons that may be learned by observing these cycles and they repeat themselves over longer periods of time. As with any meditative or devotional practice, the act of immersing oneself in the natural world has many benefits on a physical, emotional and spiritual level. While many of us already practice this and have done so intuitively with great success certain techniques have been collected to consciously enhance these effects and achieve greater healing and empowerment.”~ @poisonersapothecary on Forest Bathing #thehouseoftwigs #thot #witchesofinstagram #pagansofinstagram #writersofinstagram #hedgewitch #witch #witchcraft
  • “The Forest is a Conscious Being The forest has been a source of healing, sustenance, and vitality for mankind since the dawn of time. Primordial forests were once the fortified walls of the earliest tribal peoples seeking shelter from the elements. Although the forest has its own hidden dangers, early man was a part of this world and learned to adapt and survive according to its laws. Some of the oldest and largest of living organisms, trees and fungi, claim the woodlands their domain. The plants and wildlife of the forest are connected in a symbiotic relationship that at times can seem supernatural to the human observer. Ancient trees seem to whisper to one another, their ancient languages carried on the wind, and the subterranean waters connecting them. The trees and plants are able to communicate through means of complex interconnected networks of fungi and other organic compounds, through chemistry and electricity the forest is a collective entity made up of countless individual parts. This network of communication is physical evidence of the unique type of consciousness that exists amongst these beings. They are capable of acting as individuals, fully aware of their immediate environments and individual needs. They are also able to extend their consciousness via their connection to the rest of the forest community, and direct their unique abilities to the greater benefit of the collective.” ~ @poisonersapothecary on #thehouseoftwigs #thot #writersofinstagram #poisonpath #witch #witchesofinstagram #sacred #hedgewitch #pagansofinstagram
  • #venusretrograde started in #Scorpio ~ How are you handling this relationship equalizer? “In general, when a planet stations retrograde it means that from our viewpoint here on Earth, the planet seems to move not forward in its orbit, but backwards. Despite this phenomenon, the planet is not actually moving backwards, but rather, this is a misperception. Therefore we can say that during a period of a planetary retrograde, our perception is skewed, slowed down, or inverted around the themes of the planet itself. This is why during Mercury retrograde (our most famous retrograde), things having to do with communication, travel, and technology—issues ruled by Mercury—come under extra pressure and confusion. Venus retrograde therefore is a period where our relationships, romantic and otherwise, will come under close scrutiny. It is a period famous for breakups, freak-outs, and sudden endings. It can be an extremely powerful time to clear away some emotional debris that no longer serves you. Venus retrograde can help you prioritize and reorganize yourself, emotionally, if you work with the energy of the season. Think of it as Venusian pruning. As always with these retrogrades, the general advice is to turn inward, become Hermit-like, and examine with scorpion-like honesty what you carry with you, why, and how it truly serves you. Though Venus collects ribbons, silks, and roses, you do not need to keep everything you come across in this lifetime. Venus retrograde encourages those of us who can be hoarders of the heart to let some things go, to make some room for something new. “ @eighthhouseastro #celestialhermit #thehouseoftwigs #thot #witchesofinstagram #witchy #horoscope #asteology #pagansofinstagram
  • #Newmoon and #Venusretrograde writing by @eighthhouseastro #eighthhouseasreo #thehouseoftwigs #astrology “When the Moon is New in Libra, we find the Sun conjunct the Moon. As such, our conscious, ego-oriented minds (Sun), and our unconscious, emotional selves (Moon) come into contact. When the Moon is dark in her newness, we are able to find a harmonious energy struck between our heart and our head. Take this time to collect yourself, to center your own personal energy, and to embody the themes of Libra in all her harmonious power. This New Moon comes to us at a time when the world seems to be, yet again, on fire. This witch is reeling from headline after headline that shows us that the dying roars of the patriarchy are coming loud and clear. In the midst of all of this, I am sending you, dear readers, love and support, and the reminder that you are not alone. But with that said, we are all weary. Many tears have been shed this week in fury and heartbreak at the reminder, played out on a national stage, that women’s experiences are not to be taken seriously. I know you are tired. John Cage once said, “If someone is sleepy, let him go to sleep.” The New Moon is here for you to find some rest and recuperation. The quietude of the Moon’s darkness provides a velvet blanket, Venusian and restorative, for you to dream beneath. Take this time to truly nurture yourself. Take this time to also check in with your friends and loved ones. Libra is all about harmony with our fellow humans. Venus provides featherbeds to those who need a break. New Moon in Libra is a reminder to cultivate personal love ritual as well as conjure strength to fight the unfairness of the world. “
