  • @poisonersapothecary wrote a review last month about this new #graphic novel #witchbody by @immateriality published through @weiserbooks , and the copies are now out. We have a few over at our sister company @q.mebpdx left. “Witchbody, by Sabrina Scott is a forthcoming publication from Weiser/Red Wheel that will be released in March 2019. It is a graphic novel full of beautifully illustrated ink drawings of a whimsical, enchanting and sometimes dark nature. It is, on the surface, a book, but upon further investigation it is a magical talisman of transformation. The book is in itself and independent entity with its own will. It is not a book that is simply read, it is visually and spiritually stimulating, not simply read but absorbed. Once absorbed it works its transformative magic on the reader. It is a book that leaves its mark on the reader, literally. It is intentionally risograph printed, a black ink that doesn’t entirely dry. It will subtly mark you over extended periods of reading. As a result your own fingerprints will decorate the pages as they are handled, showing the mutual relationship we share with all forms and beings around us. This graphic novel explores the relationship we have with the world around us, the various different forms that we connect with in our magical practices and how through this connection we are changed. Witchbody moves the reader to consider his or her own body and its place in the wider web of being. Scott presents us with the idea of a “trans-species pedagogy,” showing us that through these mutual relationships both parties learn from one another and move further along their evolutionary path. It is a truly thought provoking work, presented in such a way that is down to earth.” #thehouseoftwigs #witchy #witchcomic #THoT #graphicnovel

  • The Full Moon in Virgo highlights themes of service, rituals of health, rituals of the body, and the domain of small things—small creatures, small objects, details. Ask yourself how you are caring for yourself. Are you ever in your top three priorities on that never-ending to-do list? It is so easy to bury ourselves in responsibility, to move through our days avoiding the reality of our body, and our mind-body connection suffers as a result. Full Moon in Virgo brings a mint-scented compress to your temples, and asks you to make time to recalibrate, to self-soothe, and to pour your love into yourself. Establish routines and rituals that serve you so that you can serve others. We all know that saying about not being able to pour out libation for others unless our own cups are filled. Virgo Full Moon is a reminder of this. It is also a reminder of that simple maxim from the Delphic oracle: Know thyself. With the Virgo Full Moon we are asked to tend to the body. With the Sun in Pisces, we are asked to tend to the spirit. Our intuition cannot exist without the body it takes residence in. And our psychic power, our empathy, our emotions, cannot properly manifest or be felt with full intensity without a loving connection to our physical form. This is not a mandate to “get healthy,” but rather a gentle reminder to acknowledge the reality of your physical life, and answer some questions about how to better support it, and find love for yourself in the process. ~ @eighthhouseastro #thehouseoftwigs #witchcraft #astrology #fullmoonastrology
  • At 7:54am the Moon will be full in the sign Virgo on February 19, 2019. The Full Moon arrives at 0° Virgo, opposing the Sun at 0° Pisces. How perfect for Virgo, the healer, to arrive at the beginning, and to sweep us forward into the new. The Full Moon in Virgo comes at the start of Pisces season, and is lit up by Chiron’s ingress into Aries. This Full Moon is here to help us rewrite the narrative of our suffering. To find power in the details. To release into the fullness of our life. An axis between body and soul glows between the Sun in Pisces and Moon in Virgo. Where does your body bloom? And where is your spirit? We can now find new ways to heal, as well as new ways to serve. Each Full Moon is initiated by an opposition between the Sun and the Moon. The space between head and heart encourages us to reach outward, to release. It enables us to see things from a dual perspective. Past and future come into focus, and in this moment we find new paths to manifestation. Virgo is a mutable earth sign ruled by Mercury. Symbolized by the virgin holding a shaft of wheat, connections to the mythic Persephone abound. Virgo is a virgin in the sense that she is indeed a young woman, but it doesn’t mean that this sign is obsessed with purity. In fact, Virgo knows how deeply complicated, messy, and divine the body and its excesses can be. Remember that Persephone, abducted by Hades while out picking flowers, spends half the year as queen of the underworld, and half the year with her mother, Demeter, in the realm of day. There is a story about duality here, about balancing light with shadow, and about the power of the unconscious. #thehouseoftwigs #thot #celestialhermit #astrology #fullmoon #virgo #witchy #witchesofinstagram
