As we head into cold season may I suggest that, when you’re making yourself hot honey & lemon, you add ginger, cloves & dried elderberries to the mix. Not only will your drink end up pleasingly purple & smell fantastic, it’ll also have an increased chance of making you better quicker. #HerbalHealing

I’ve finished creating the little gifts I’ll be slipping into my Christmas & Midwinter cards this year, the cards themselves are on the way (Xmas ones from the RNLI), so now I just have to sort the in person gifts and plan the festivities. Both of which will wait until *after* All Hallows Eve.

We like to tell ourselves that time flows evenly, but we all have a history of convenient lies. Time has its slow eddies. It runs across some places so tardily a year might become a decade. Places where the walk of a hundred yards might take two hours to complete. – #DAKilroy

Totally confused to have been blocked by someone I’ve never directly interacted with and, as far as I can see, have similar beliefs and aligning interests with. Wonder if it was them using a malicious block list that wrongly labelled me as something I’m not (I know I’m on quite a few of those).

Beneficent neglect may not create a show garden but it sure does wonders for the wildlife because look who I found in the most ignored corner of my garden … a rather lovely frog! #TheSmallThings #SpreadingJoy #Nature #CommonFrog

It would! It just suddenly occurred to me that my anxiety, when running unchecked, would latch on to that sort of post from someone else and try to convince me it was about me, so I thought making it clear might be a kindness to anyone else who suffers that way.

I should add that this is not related to anyone on here!

Kizzia Mildmay @kizzia.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Been thinking a lot about who I am, who I want/need to become, and the process of getting from here to there. And it’s become wildly apparent certain friendships might not survive the becoming. Which is … not great but isn’t going to stop me, either, although I do worry about the possible fallout.

Reading this my brain immediately offered me an image of whack-a-mole but with guinea pigs. I worry about the state of my thoughts, sometimes.

Blessings to all those who celebrate on this #AutumnEquinox. May we find balance in our hearts and lives and hold the light close as the days darken. Photo taken during my dawn walk, where certain signs were asked for and gratefully received. #TheSmallThings #SpreadingJoy #Witchcraft

A view across fields to the Welsh Border: Yellow green grass covers the foreground, with a band of trees across the middle of the photo. Beyond them are dark hills topped with grey white cloud pretending to be distant mountains. The highest sky is also covered in grey cloud but there is an open patch of pale blue in the centre.

Kizzia Mildmay @kizzia.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

This autumn the actual moment of equinox is in the early hours of Wednesday so I will be doing my personal celebrations then. But for everyone who does equinoxes/solstices on 21st of the relevant month regardless, may your celebrations be joyful and exactly what you need #AutumnEquinox

Who is Mabon? And why is His name associated with one of the celebrations of the NeoPagan Wheel of the Year? In my latest video essay I explore this very question! And also discuss whether or not it’s appropriate to rip something out of its cultural context to do with as we please.

Which, I will add, also refers to the autumn equinox as Mabon but as it’s set in the here and now I do not have the same issue with it as I had with the timeslip witchy novel I was getting grumpy about the other day.

And it is that time of year, once again, when my brain demands a reread of Deborah Harkness’ All Souls books. Given there’s now five of them (and I’ve not read the fifth one before) I may be some time. #BookThreads #AutumnalReads #ADiscoveryOfWitches

And this is from the middle of Little Doward Hill Fort, looking east south east, roughly where 4 is on the beautifully drawn map I found while researching the history of the area. Link to the Historic England research survey below #TheSmallThings #SpreadingJoy #Nature #HillForts #WoodlandWanderings

An expanse of fern covered hill top, with undulating ground and edged with trees. The view across to the far hill is wooded with patches of open ground and the sky is blue with banks of clouds moving toward the camera.

A hand drawn map of Little Doward with the hill fort boundaries marked and various points numbered.

Still on Little Doward, this time from the only “proper” road up to the hill fort (it is Very defensible) as it crests the western edge of the fort proper, with views away to the east. I do like the way the tree offers both scale and shade. #TheSmallThings #SpreadingJoy #Nature #WoodlandWanderings

A gravel “road” runs straight up the left side of the picture, cresting the hill, with scrubby grass to either side. A lone tree stands to the right of the road at the hill top proper, green against the bright blue sky. In the dip the road makes at the hill top the far horizon can be seen, another patchwork of fields and woods. The clouds, large white and fluffy, drift low in the sky, offering a good indication of the heights of the hill.

Kizzia Mildmay @kizzia.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Trying not to be ungracious about a book that has beautiful descriptions of Northumberland & an author who clearly adores that place but seventeenth century witches DID NOT celebrate Mabon. The autumn equinox, yes, maybe, as a harvest festival but the name Mabon was wholly Aidan Kelly in the 1960s!

Kizzia Mildmay @kizzia.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

There are no visible remains of the Little Doward hill fort buildings, just the undulations of the ground which gives a fair idea, from above, what was where. The views, on the other hand, show precisely why you’d want to be up there! #TheSmallThings #SpreadingJoy #Nature #WoodlandWanderings

From the green shade of the trees on the edge of the plateau, with the moss covered remains of a wall to the right, the view of the land to the north west, across towards Hay and Hereford, is clear in the brilliant sunshine; a patchwork of mostly flat fields with hills in the far distance.

Kizzia Mildmay @kizzia.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

From the Little Doward woods there is a stile into the outer edges of where the Iron Age hill fort was. Not pictured is the buzzard who was keening overhead as I clambered over. #TheSmallThings #SpreadingJoy #Nature #WoodlandWanderings

A very old limestone wall runs across the bottom of the phot. A wooden stile that is pretty much a ladder provides a crossing place on the left of the frame. Beyond is a further steep bank of shrub and trees and a brilliant blue sky.

Turning south west from the caves takes you towards Little Doward, and eventually the hill fort on top. The path is steep but cool thanks to the trees. #TheSmallThings #SpreadingJoy #Nature #WoodlandWanderings

A path leading directly away through the trees, which looks flat but is deceptively steep. The sun is shining brightly but the path is mostly in shadow thanks to the lush tree canopy above.

A quick break from the scheduled holiday photos to share that I am once again at Attingham Park and this is the current, delightful, view from my face. #TheSmallThings #SpreadingJoy #Nature

A strip of vivid green lawn leads to an apple tree, now heavy with yellow fruit that is leaning slightly lopsidedly to the right. Behind the tree is the red brick of the far wall of the walled garden and a bright blue sky with patches of cloud. To the right of the lawn is a bare patch of prepared earth, to the left planted beds of herbs, flowers and veggies.
