any other radical faeries on this site? i'm curious about where we've ended up 🧚‍♂️

An orange candle burns, surrounded by a pentacle made of brambles and twigs. It is decorated with oak leaves, clover, self-heal, and fuchsias.

The same ritual spread, but now it's dark and the candle burns bright in the night.

anyone else have a nice pancake day yesterday? 🥞

My allergies are kicking my butt. So, today's #witchmadness tip is to learn self-care early on. Listen to your body. You can't run yourself into the ground constantly. Rest, hydrate, take your vitamins/herbs, do your healing work. Then you're more able to kick ass and take names. #witchsky

the lemon pips are from the same lemon i've been using for get-better tea 😌

A candle in a bowl, sprinkled with lavender, cloves, and lemon pips. In the bowl with it are leaves and yellow flowers.

really hoping that i don't get sick, but i've somehow avoided it so far so... 👀

working on cleansing the flat, both spiritually and literally - being the one person who isn't ill is pretty stressful!

my heart,, looks like i'm going on a tiny candle hunt!

it makes me wonder what they were used for originally - they're so small that i had to trim the base of a birthday candle to make it fit!

Three candles burn on a table. In the background, a white pillar candle, dripping with red like blood. In the foreground, a purple tealight with yellow petals. And between the two, a tiny yellow candle on a brass candlestick, with a circle of salt at its base.

i love them so much 🥺

A hand holding four brass candlesticks. They're very small, made for the size of candle that you'd put on a birthday cake.

Hand holding one tiny candlestick.

more good charity shop finds! these tiny little guys🕯️
gonna put em to good use...

listening to the crackle of a fire while it burns and watching the shapes the flames make

A lit candle is surrounded by rose petals, flowers, leaves, and crystals. In the background is an art print of a tattooed cherub that reads YOU MEAN THE WORLD TO ME... WILL YOU BE MINE?

had a cute day 😌✨ some love and happiness

The book Cursed Britain, a history of witchcraft and black magic in modern times, by Thomas Waters.

The back of the book, which displays positive quotes and the blurb "Why do so many Britons react to disaster, even now, by blaming dark and supernatural forces? This is the definitive history of how witchcraft and black magic have survived from the nineteenth century through to the present day."

started reading this recently and having a lot of fun so far 🫀

i choose the one that i feel the most drawn to ✨ the decks i own are very visually distinct from each other so i find them useful for different moods

for the purpose of vibes and lighting stuff, i consider the gas hob to be my hearthfire 😌✨
#witchsky

A candle burns, with rose petals in the wax. Encircling it are salt, rose quartz, selenite, cloves, and living wood.

#witchsky

A candle on an altar, surrounded by flowers and crystals and shells. There's a mirror framed by golden pillars, and resting against the mirror an affirmation card: In my mind, there is calm. In my heart, there is peace.

today is a quiet day of easing back into things 🫶

something really powerful about just jumping right into an intense intimate connection with people you've only just met... had a beautiful learning experience together 😌

Tarot cards on a windowsill, from the Wild Unknown deck. Mother of Cups reversed, 9 of Pentacles, and Daughter of Swords.

spent my imbolc away from home, starting off on a new journey and learning to understand myself and others more 🌱
