The first signs of spring are arriving with Snowdrops emerging from their annual slumber🌱 Though considered unlucky to bring into the house across the UK, parts of the Welsh Marches were an exception to this rule; with Snowdrops brought in to purify the house from Winter❄️. #folklore #welshmarches
Who doesnt love lambs?🐑 Their joyous frolicking amongst the tranquil, spring kissed landscape encapsulates the essence of hope, innocence and renewal🌺🌸🌼. Every gentle bleat heralds in brighter days & the reminder that lambs are considered one of the most magical animals in the Welsh Marches ⬇️

Hey Bluesky how's it hanging😄? Im sorry for not being active on here lately, juggling multiple media whilst staving off SAD is a bit of a task at the moment🥺. But thank you to all who follow & support me💜, It means the world. Since its a new year i thought id do a little reintroduction:
Are you looking for an easy way to bring about more prosperity into your life? Look no further than the Mince pie🥧. In Welsh Marches lore eating one mince pie on each of the 12 days of Christmas🎅🎄 would secure you good luck for the new year. #witchsky #folkloresky #christmassky #pagansky
Tintern Abbey is often frequented by spectral monks & echoes of the Devil. With every step the land reverberates with his presence, recounting the times he preached upon the nearby outcrop (The Devils pulpit), tempting the monks of Tintern to submit to a life of delicious wickedness & sin😈 #witchsky

Happy Halloween, Nos Galan Gaeaf, Samhain to all who celebrate🎃. As darkness unfolds, may we take comfort in the presence of our ancestors who draw close on this liminal night & may we remain vigilant to the various Spirits who wander across the threshold 👻 #witchsky #halloweensky #folkloresky

The harvest moon was so bright last night in all of her silvery splendour😍. Known as Lleuad y cynhaeaf/ Lleuad y Naw Nos Olau, this phase was particularly adored amongst reapers who harvested the last crop under her guidance, hence the name "the moon of the nine light nights" Blessings everyone 🌕
Yesterday the community gathered to honour the Goddess Sabrina/ Hafren for World Rivers Day 2025🌎🌊🌀 We are called Sabrina Folk not just because we grow up or live close to her river, but because she is inseparable from us as our home, our culture, our livelihood, our ancestral source, our mother🩵🩵

Today marks the feast of Mary Magdalene, a woman who is the embodiment of hope, devotion, love & empowerment. Her Church⛪️, built upon the site of the 1403 battle of Shrewsbury, stands as a place of silent, melancholic commemoration for the 1,600 people buried there💀. #folkloresky #historysky
