  • “She is our freedom. Our freedom to say “fuck you”, our freedom to sleep with whomever we want with our head held high and our freedom to lead from the front in all our female glory. Fuck your niceties. Fuck your aprons. Fuck your “aren’t you being a little too sensitive”. Fuck your controlling our reproductive organs. Fuck you. We birthed you, you little shits. Pomba Gira is the woman without shame, the woman who dresses how she pleases and goes for exactly what she wants. She knows the power each of us holds and she entices us to use it; demonstrate our ability to seduce and dominate if we so choose. She is choice.” - The Wandering Quimbandeira column by @silverwolf_spirit_worker on #thehouseoftwigs #thot #writersofinstagram #witchschool #witchesofinstagram #witchcraft #
  • “The Environment We stand on a precipice. The Earth is dying, so we are told. I believe the planet will rid herself of the pests that are so hell bent on destruction before she dies, and for the record those pests are us. But even here there is a fallacy. There seems to be a whole heap of blame levelled at us, the little people, and yet what choice do we have. Our politicians, big business, capitalism are the ones who reap the benefit of the Earths destruction, of polluting our air, water and land and increasingly we are blamed, but in truth what choice is there? Well there is a choice, one we can all make. We can choose to buy locally and ethically, though granted, for the poorest among us, those within the constraints of poverty, the choice is often not a real choice at all. But there are things we can all do to help the planet. We can clean up the areas where we live. We can take care of the wild parts of our communities and the creatures that live there. We each can do something. Sometimes it is so easy to get overwhelmed by the problems that face us, but if we start small, start in our local communities, it is a start. Everything begins as a trickle. And so this brings us to the next point.” - @emmakathrynwildwitch on her #obeahwomanwhispers column on #thehouseoftwigs #THoT #writersofinstagram #witchesofinstagram #witchcraft #ecoconciouswitch #witchschool
  • “I have special underthings for this sacred time. Shoving a wad of cotton or a sea sponge into that slippery cave, a pastel silicon cup around my delicate cervix, or maybe a semi-diaper attached to ugly underwear: these are my options every month. The medicine, the chocolate, the brewed drink. My aching sacral solution sloshing around in there, while my uterus contracts and constraints to empty the bloat. Restless sleep accompanying surges of heat from the sudden increase of hormones, and somehow I still get up early for work. Concealer and foundation creates an illusion of normalcy, powered by coffee and bananas. “ - Article by @fawnhexe on #THoT #thehouseoftwigs #bloodmagick #moonrituals #witchschool #witchesofinstagram
  • This will be an up coming tarot class online for THoT: The School of Ritual, which are direct follow-ups to Erika’s existing online courses.
  • New custom sigil clothing available online at @q.mebpdx is made to order. We don’t have any of these in our physical location yet, but thought you might want to know about them. The first pic is Goetia Sigils on a pocket sweatshirt, and swipe to see the extra long #Belial sigil with a floral appliqué. More options available on our website. #customwitchclothing #queenmebpdx #darkfashion #pnwwitches #pnwwitchshop #witchesofinstagram #thehouseoftwigs
  • “To me, the moon is the embodiment of the sacred feminine, the keeper of secrets and the reflection of our inner selves; a metaphor for the stages of the maiden, mother and crone. The moon is the sister, mother, grandmother that has watched over me all my days. The moon was there for me when there was no one else. I know that this resurgence in witch esthetic makes being a moon lover a trope, but I have spent so many nights drawing down the moon that it is validating that she comforts and fascinates so many others. Having moved around constantly since childhood, I have no meaningful or long serving friendships and no real connections with my family. Consumed in grief and loneliness I have found myself wandering outside on many nights, captivated by the moon’s many forms. I would whisper to her my many secrets, and let the tears flow that I could share only with her.” - @Luna Pyre on #thehouseoftwigs #hekate #witchcraft #triplegoddess #thot #witchesofinstagram
