This is very true.😁💫🧹🧙‍♀️ If you haven't read a Terry Pratchett discworld book. I recommend Equal rites by Terry Pratchett. The first of his Witches story arc. They are clever & funny and addictive. You may spot some familiar stories. 📚 #Pagansky #witchsky #Occultsky #Druidsky #Greenwitch #OBODsky /|\

A MEME that reads:
"The last thing you wanted a witch to do was get bored and start making her own amusements, because witches sometimes had famously erratic ideas about what was amusing."

At Imbolc to welcome Brigid, celebrants weave her likeness from oat sheaves and rushes, adorning it with a dress. The doll cradled in a basket awaits the goddess's blessing on the home.
