Exploring #paganism and #witchcraft

Fierce lover of #books and #tarot, devotee of #brigid and the three #matrons
The theme showing through all the #rauhnächte (and already before) is #balance regarding masculine and feminine energy… jay… great. My card for the year was „The Lovers“, so relationships, duality and… jay… balance… (to me, the lovers don’t talk about love, that would rather be „2 of cups“)

Happy 2026! This year is a 10 numerologically. Numbers are an artificial system, but they do represent the way we order and understand certain things, so magically, they do say something about us. 10 represents the start of a new cycle, and is the Wheel of Fortune card in Tarot. #WitchSky

Here we go, the last calendar page of this year comes to an end and I’ll keep it short. The year had its trials and tribulations, lessons were learned, some will return. Those I love are still with me and I’m grateful! Take care people, and don’t buy fucking fireworks!

To my fellow #tarot readers: is there a card that represents you personally, that keeps showing up when it’s about you as a person? For me it’s the #empress. I was in denial for quite a while because it felt so „Molly Weasley“, but now I love it.

It must be Christmas when „family“ finds a way to get under your skin and hurt you… or the ones you love… but as a witch we have our ways to protect ourselves so people show themselves the way out…

Merry Christmas to everyone who enjoys these days. To those who have a hard time because of feeling alone, grieving loss or suffering from toxic family members… sending you a hug!

Yule is from Germanic and Norse winter traditions later woven into Christmas. In this video I dig into what we actually know about Yule’s roots and share magical practices, folk traditions, & spirit lore from a favorite Yule book by @elleneverthopman.bsky.social #Witchsky

I can proudly confirm that I’ve set off the fire alarm only once today 💪🏻 #rauhnächte

Blessed #wintersolstice! Today begin my #rauhnächte rituals so I already cleansed the home and will be doing more incense and divination for the next 12 nights!

Brilliant… so I’m taking the #modraniht tradition quite literal… honouring motherhood (sick kid)… holding vigil through the night (sleeping on the couch, making tea)… I’m going to need LOTS of coffee

If #wintersolstice is the rebirth of the sun, #modraniht is the womb… dark, but not scary, almost ready but not yet. It’s the time to honour the mothers, be it ancestral or divine, those of blood or land or spirit. Tonight is also the #darkmoon which is beautifully fitting and special.

Preparing for #mothersnight or #modraniht as a starting point for my #rauhnächte celebrations. I’m going to visit the sacred site of the #matrons, a place that couldn’t be more magical to get in the mood…

It’s heartbreaking to see your kids learn from a very young age that blood relation doesn’t necessarily mean love, care and affection, especially on a birthday. Luckily and simultaneously, they learn that chosen family sometimes cares even better #grateful

My boy, my second born, the one who brought me peace and closure about birth trauma… the one who challenges the inner child in me that I was never allowed to be… the free soul, the loud one, the one who speaks before he thinks… the one who gives the most tender affection… he’ll be 9 tomorrow💚
