Advocate of the Dead
@gbridgetb.bsky.social
Village solitary witch, works with the ancestors for fun and profit (genealogist level: expert/professional), library worker, cemetery obsessed, moon magic, crone era/GenX. Safe space.
😵‍💫 What even was this week? It’s been chaotic, full of bizarre synchronicities, and happened quickly and also painfully slow. Goal for tonight is to be as cozy as possible.

Good morning from Missouri, where it is currently 11 degrees.

Franklin and I visited a new monument at the county admin building today that lists several of my Revolutionary War ancestors. He acts like he can read, or maybe he actually can. 🤷‍♀️

An ancestral message in tonight’s card pull.

Happy Sinner Sunday! 😆
As printed in the Washington Citizen newspaper (Missouri) in 1973 as part of a full-page ad for the First Assembly of God church. Roberta was set to change her witchy ways. More witchy music for the rest of us!

Birds are stocked with fresh food and water, intentions are set with Scorpio New Moon snow water.

Eleven years ago I visited the tomb of Marie Laveau and left her a runestone offering symbolizing spiritual journey and heritage. At the time, I was only dabbling in the practices of Vodou/hoodoo and had no idea how it would make a big impact on my path years later. I’m so thankful.

Woke up to a power outage and a slight chill in the house. Power has been restored but this dog may not fully recover from the trauma.

Where are my GenX ladies with disfunctional mother/daughter relationships at? Mine refuses to contact me by phone and relies totally on fb messages which I rarely check so that’s fun.
Sending big hugs and strong boundaries to you, especially if you’ll be seeing them for the holidays.

Good morning from #Missouri, Bluesky friends.

Drop something blue from your gallery. (I searched the word “blue” in my photos and even though my whole house has blue decor this is the photo it chose. Close enough! 😄)

A controversial subject for some, but I clip my long haired dachshund several times a year. Otherwise he picks up every leaf, bug, and speck of dirt on our walks and gets too fluffy for his harness. But the neighbor dogs can tell Franklin’s mom cuts his hair. #dogsky #dogsofbluesky #dachshund

I tried to explain to this dog that my robe is not a blanket for him to burrow under but he obviously doesn’t believe me. The dachshund side eye leaves no words unspoken. #dogsky #dogsofbluesky #dachshund

Good morning! I’m awake later than usual after staying up late playing Spiritfarer for hours. It’s my favorite cozy comfort game.

65 first graders toured the library today. One stop was to learn about the Genealogy Room. Afterwards, they colored strips of paper to add to our paper chain and this one is my favorite.
Rast in pees.

My partner brought a carnivorous plant home for me today and I’m not sure what to do with it. Any plant people here have tips? I am an experienced plant keeper but new to this type. #plants #adviceplease

Today’s animal spirit card pull. One of my favorites. 🐍

Tuesday is my Monday in work week speak, so I’m back to the Genealogy cave. Everything the light touches is my domain. I love it here. 😊 📚 #librarysky #genealogy #ancestry

Goodnight, Bluesky friends. Release whatever heaviness you’ve been carrying around today and rest. 😌

I had the audacity to walk at the park without any dogs this evening. Selfishly, because I wanted to visit the farm animals and pets aren’t allowed in the barns.

This sits on my main altar as a reminder of who I am. In every situation, it is always better to be the village witch than the village idiot.

This is a Franklin fan page. I have other dogs but they know he’s my favorite. You’ll be seeing his face with some frequency.
He is a good boy. 🥰

Good morning!
Now that I’ve been successfully connecting with the witch community, today I am focused on finding a #genealogy community. As a lure, here is a photo of my 2nd gr-grandmother, Susan Compton (1856-1932). #familyhistory #ancestry
