After & Before. We might have a tea-thing #OnTheCovenstead
Tea cabinet is revised & renewed, keeping in mind HOLA (Heat, Odor, Light, Air). Most everything featured in this photo was grown & processed here. Otherwise we get bulk from our local co-op & other tea artisans, the latter often gifts from kindred. #TeaWitch #WitchSky #OnTheCovenstead #KitchenWitch

Today's task involves solving the riddle of my tea cupboard. Because we look to teas for basically daily health benefits & tailoring them to the need du jour, the tea cupboard is a bit out of control. Note, I'm only dealing with the bottom shelf today. #WitchSky #MagicInYourCup #OnTheCovenstead

Not just you. Fairly typical example of the Land getting blood from me. ;)

One of the things I do to deal with the fall-back time change is stay up late reading. 🤪😘😉

It's a haunting season, Witches. Twice in the last few days I swore this crow statue moved ever so slightly. An eye wink here, a ruffle there. What do you see? #WitchSky #WitchMadness #WitchAlt #SpookySeason

Cloud scrying before the storm. Messages of volatility. Rain has begun & in 1 hr it's .23 inch accumulation already. By Saturday 4+ inches. But wait it gets better. Wind sustained at 25kn + w/ gusts to 45kn+. Y'all Cruisers be safe (small craft warning for the next week). #OnTheCovenstead #WitchSky

Our rainbow welcome garden is headed by a healthy maple tree. She's letting all the visitors to the Covenstead know that there is beauty in slowing down and resting. #OnTheCovenstead #WitchSky #WheelOfTheYear

Yesterday morning, Grand Witchling helped me pick all the tender fruits that were left in the polytunnel & kitchen garden. This morning it was 29 degrees at sunrise. Today we hope to quickly get some bushes and trees in the ground before the true winter cold hits. #OnTheCovenstead #WitchAlt

As that Wheel of the Year turns, so shifts the rhythm of the Covenstead. It's not slower, just different. Tools get swapped out, tasks evolve, and the Land calls for new kinds of attention. What was once growth becomes about harvest, storage, and preparation. #WitchAlt #OnTheCovenstead 1/2

This is the kind of day it's been. The Devil's Coach Horse Beetle* is life. I'm the caterpillar. #OnTheCovenstead

A bit warmer this morning for barn chores (36 F). Just means we need to shift the flocks to the winter Barn and pastures, but farmer Runa needs to do some set up and harvest some hops for a new brew first. #WitchAlt #WitchSky #OnTheCovenstead

The owls, coyotes, frogs, and crickets joined the Covenstead in frolicking under the Moon by a bonfire tonight. Cakes and ale were consumed and we brought a new Witch into the fold. An excellent Harvest Moon if I do say so myself. #WitchSky #OnTheCovenstead
