Had a lovely time at the Scottish #Pagan Federation Conference 2025 yesterday - I love connecting with and learning from pagans of all paths, and it was great to be back in my birth city of Edinburgh again ✨

Got a bit emotional this morning seeing all the autumn colours - hello home! 🍂🍁🍄

Camping in Glen Etive last weekend was pure healing ⛰️ lots of swimming in Crystal clear water 🌊 #scotland #folkmagic

Climbed up what felt like the windiest hill in the world today, surprised I wasn't blown right off the top!

Worth it for the stunning views from the Tay and other Sidlaws, right to Shiehallion, Ben Mor, and the Angus Glens

Coming back home for a couple days and reading in my folks beautiful garden ☀️

The period around #Beltane is my favourite time of year; I am so glad to be creating some homely magic amongst the birds, by the sea, and under the blossoming rowan

It is still wild garlic season! I like to forage from this den about 10 minutes from my home; where it grows so abundantly you could collect a sackful and not make a dent in the green.

Sorry I was late to work, I spent my morning trying to nurse a bee back to health 🐝

A bit too early for the bluebells to be out at Kinclaven Bluebell Woods, but we had a beautiful walk regardless. Will have to go back in a month for the carpet of flowers!

Where better to read the last few chapters of Milldust and Dreaming Bread by @scottishfolkmagic.bsky.social than huddled in a souterrain, or "earth house" hidden in the middle of sunny fields?

I was joined by a hare, some sort of bird of prey, many happily noisy songbirds, and busy wee bumblebees!

Another one for #witchywalks 🌊 elephant rock near Montrose, #Scotland

Nearby was the ruins of what looked like a wee old fort or castle. I wished there was more information about it beyond the warning sign of its crumbling structure!

The Caterthuns in Angus, #Scotland ☀️ two iron age hillforts, walking up them felt like moving into a slightly seperated world; a liminal space between land and sky.

When I tell you I had a little cry receiving this in the post today 🥰 all the additional extras with the kickstarter have made this a little magical experience all on its own.

Thank you thank you thank you @scottishfolkmagic.bsky.social

I am so excited to get stuck into reading!

Today we wander sunwise around a woodland hill until we find the tower that overlooks the silvery Tay river

Can finally feel the shift to springtime 🌱☀️

On the edge of the sky 🍃 I come past this hill every day and yet it took until today to come up. I could hear the trees speaking to each other in the wind 🌲

Exploring again, this time we're at abandoned railway tunnels in #scotland

A few years ago I did a ritual here at sunset. It didn't work out as planned but I always feel a little magical imprint got left regardless. It's true that there is no place like home 🥰

Lunch spot today - I do miss Edinburgh, feel so comfortable and warm whenever I come back to visit 🥰🌊

I never want to be the kind of person who wishes away the year. I think it's so important to embrace the beauty that the cold dark months bring.

That said, I do miss summertime when I could just take myself away to places like this to camp and swim without having to bundle up!

Whenever taking your witch for a walk, make sure to allocate plenty of time for them to find interesting sticks and stones, as an enrichment activity.
