The version of me that existed at 18 could not have conceived of the me that exists today, and honestly that makes me so proud

I wasn’t meant to get up and go to work. I was meant to go out and frolick with fairies, but then someone had to go and invent jobs, and I honestly hope they stub their toe on the bedframe every morning, and that their water is always room temperature, and their pillow is always warm

You can always be the main character! What’s stopping you from going on a little quest? Get lost in the fairy world for a few months. Help lead a peasant uprising. Don’t worry about paying bills, that’s for the side characters to care about

No no no, you must have misheard me. I don’t want to be the boss. I want to rot in moss

Stopping to acknowledge the fact that the little kid whose wildest dream was becoming an author would be so proud of me for getting my book published 📚

Don’t let a lack of ambition hold you back. You can be both a sweet fae creature that frolics in the woods and the swamp hag that haunts their nightmares. You contain multitudes ✨

As Moss, I reserve the right to lie in the forest all day and photosynthesize 🌳

Every time a copy of my book sells, another fairy gets their wings 😜🧚‍♂️

There's no feeling quite like snuggling up to my man after a long day, wrapping ourselves in blankets, getting all cozy, and then immediately needing the toilet... 🙈

Is a shop selling candles and incense basically a 'psss psss psss' for witches?

The world is full of enchantment 🥰 found a lovely little tree spirit on my adventures, with the encouragement to make a wish. I cannot think of any way this could possibly go wrong 🧚

You're in their DMs, I'm stealing them away to the fairy realm to dance forever... We are not the same 🧚‍♂️

Moss Matthey @mossmatthey.bsky.social · 17/04/2025
You're never too old for a bit of whimsy! Go frolic in the woods, swing on all the rope swings, and cast spells under the full moon... Just don't hold me responsible for the aching joints afterwards 😜 still worth it though, I promise

Books are magical… especially when they’re possessed by ancient spirits you can summon to do your bidding 📚

Kinda love the fact my book is in the 'Cults & Demonism' category, and grateful its the Number 1 most gifted 🥰 hopefully people find the section on 'How to Leave a Cult' helpful!

I’m not the man in the relationship. I’m just the fairy. And he’s also a fairy. And we just frolick in the woods 🧚

Frolicking in the woods is underrated. We should all frolic more 😆🧚‍♂️

Just a gay witch holding a copy of his book, all about leaving a fundamentalist cult and exploring the magical and enchanted side of life 🏳️‍🌈✨️

At this point, I don’t think witches are allowed to have tidy bookshelves. That’s what I tell myself to feel better anyway 😅

You might have heard that Pokémon cards are the most expensive cards you can collect, but allow me to introduce you to Tarot 🔮

I did the forbidden thing 😆 now we wait for the fairies to come get me 🧚‍♂️

Social media is a fairy trap. They love compelling people to dance, but there's too many people now so they subcontracted it to this thing called 'trends'. If you dance online, the fairies have already got you 🧚‍♂️

Sometimes I remember I look like a 6’ 2” man and not an ethereal fae being, and then I’m sad 😅

Got a sneaky feeling this park wants to eat me 🤔

I'm incredibly bad at making friends... unless it's with fae creatures. So if we're friends, I know 🧚‍♂️

Moss Matthey @mossmatthey.bsky.social · 08/04/2025
I was raised in a fundamentalist Christian cult, now I'm a pagan witch. It's been quite the journey! I even wrote a book about it 😄

No matter how bad a day I've had, spending time with a horse makes it better 🥰 such incredible creatures, it's a joy to be able to spend time in their world for a little while

I am supposed to be writing upstairs. Just got a phone call from my partner asking if I was indeed writing ‘because you keep sending me TikTok’s so I think you’re doomscrolling instead’. Never before has my love so blantantly been used against me 😭

Today, I got pixie led. Played with a fairy tree, made some content, walked around the woodland. Followed the path back but ended up somewhere I didn’t recognise at all, turned one of my socks inside out, and immediately found the car park. Kinda wish I’d lingered around till they picked me up 🧚

Enjoying the sunny weather out with my book 😄 I’m so grateful for how it has been received in the world 🥰

Slightly concerned to have found this in my crisp packet… hopefully not an omen 🙃💀

I loved writing about the anglerfish🐟. Through our collective mourning, we glimpsed the wisdom of the depths & the presence of hope when our faith in humanity is waning. Click the link below to read 💖 #witchsky #folkloresky #pagansky #magic thepagancollective.wordpress.com/2025/02/28/t...

Shropshire has been known by many names including Pengwern (Head of the Alder grove/marsh), with its frontier once referred to as "Bron Wrgan". It was here that king Arthur slaughtered various giants to help free the imprisoned brothers of Gwenhwyfar. #Shropshireday #folkloresky #pagansky #witch

Enchantment is everywhere. The coffee machine at my local cafe is called Hecate. Every white chocolate mocha I drink is blessed by the Goddess ☕️😆

With spring in the air, I’m looking to try and promote my book a little more. If you think ‘An Apostates Guide to Witchcraft’ would be a good fit for your podcast, conference, workshop, book signing, or any other event please let me know! I would very much appreciate it ❤️

You don’t have to be the bigger person. Sometimes hexing is the best way to heal 😜

I wrote a book teaching people witchcraft but then Lady Gaga came along and did it with a song 🎃 both ways are good 😜

Self-care is picking up cool stick on all your walks and using them as wands

Thought it was time to re-introduce myself 😄 Hi, I'm Moss, the person not the plant. I'm the type of person who'll dive headfirst into a fairy ring (and probably film myself doing it 😆). I also write about witchcraft (and leaving a cult), but honestly, I'd rather be out chasing fairies 🧚‍♂️

Welcome to the kingdom of Moss. Please lie down in the grass until nature reclaims you. Someone will be along to collect your bones shortly
