One of my favorite things about the Longman is that from Samhain he is in shadow. The sun doesn't reach him and he dozes through the winter, quietly keeping guard . On the Spring equinox the sun shines on him again and he awakes again to the warming light, to see a beautiful, blossoming spring.

I’m lucky to live with this chalk giant on my doorstep. His origins are shrouded in mystery. He is in proportion as if he’s meant to be seen from a distance or even above. Either way its a very special magical place, occasionally frequented by wonderful magical people /|\ #Druidsky #Pagansky #OBOD

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."

Happy Imbolc! We picked fresh reeds, made Brigid's crosses, hung them above our doors, lit our Imbolc candle, lit from the eternal flame from Kildare, and left a Brat Bride for her to bless as she passes. Love & Imbolc Blessings to all who celebrate🕯️🌱 /|\ #pagansky #Druidsky #witchsky #OBOD

The Brigid's cross is a solar cross and is pre-christian in origin. It represents the life and energy of the sun. It features in designs across the ancient world. Most pagans will know this. The Christian cross does not have equal arm length or symmetry and looks totally different.

Paper straws can work really well. Any kind of fiberous plant. Wooden skewers work well as frame for a Brigid's cross cross made with green wool. I hope this helps galwaycitymuseum.ie/wp-content/u...

Brigid, Irish triple goddess, embodies fire, poetry, healing, & smithing. Daughter of Dagda, Sometimes wife of Bres, she's linked to Imbolc, spring's renewal . Her fire symbolizes, hearth & home, & inspiration for bards, healers & craftspeople. #Imbolc #Pagansky #Druidsky /|\ #OBODsky
