So it’s basically doing this: 👍🐦👍
In Irish mythology, Brigid is the daughter of the Dagda and had two sisters also named Brigid and is part of the Tuatha de Danann, the supernatural Irish race. The three sisters made up the triple aspect of the one goddess: Brigid of the hearth, Brigid of the forge and Brigid of Inspiration. She is a goddess of spring, fertility, family, the hearth, childbirth, fire, blacksmiths, scholars, physicians, prophets, healing, poetry, occult knowledge, and justice. She was said to be born at sunrise and is often depicted with solar rays coming out of her head, making her one of the Irish solar deities alongside Lugh. It is said that wherever she walks four leaf clovers and flowers will grow. She also created the tradition of “keening” when her son Ruadan died in battle, a song-like wail used by women at funerals. In some cases she is also the goddess of sacred wells, springs and healing waters.
History
Her name comes in different spellings like Brig, Brighid, Brigit, or Brigid but it means “Exalted one” or “Fiery arrows”. She is a goddess of Pre-christian Ireland but versions of her are found all over Europe; she has ties to Brigantia, a warrior goddess of the Brigantes tribe of Britain. She was a beloved goddess of the Celts and has survived through centuries including the Christianization of Ireland and the rest of Europe where most traces of Druidism and Paganism were forgotten. The people of Ireland loved her so much and refused to let her be demonized by the church -like the rest of the gods- that they converted her into a saint known as St. Brigid of Kildare. There are also three rivers named after her one in Ireland, Wales and England: Brigit, Braint and Brent.The river that runs through Wales is known to have healing properties.
Imbolc
Also known as Brigid’s day, Candlemas or St. Brigid’s feast, Imbolc is one of the four fire festivals in Celtic paganism and celebrates the return of spring. Since Brigid is the goddess of spring and was said to go away during the winter, people would light a candle in honor of her return. Offerings of milk, bread, and corn cakes were set out and a seat at the dinner table was left open for her presence. Cows and sheep were seen as sacred to the goddess because they would provide milk for the town during the cold months and they would give birth around Imbolc. This festival celebrated the Maiden aspect of Brigid and young women would carry corn dollies dressed in white which represented the goddess. The women would also dress in white and attend a special feast for Imbolc where young suitors could mingle with the ladies. Imbolc is a time of fertility, cleansing and the light returning after a long winter.

BY A WHAT
THATS ALL THE BIG SCARIES IN ONE BUG TFFF JU
Give it a dime, apparently.
Had to go research this thing, and the answer to what to do if it stings you is scream.
from Wikipedia-
“One researcher described the pain as “…immediate, excruciating, unrelenting pain that simply shuts down one’s ability to do anything, except scream. Mental discipline simply does not work in these situations. In terms of scale, the wasp’s sting is rated near the top of the Schmidt sting pain index, second only to that of the bullet ant, and is described by Schmidt as “blinding, fierce [and] shockingly electric”.“
Soooooo…dissociate to escape or?
It’s laying eggs in you.
Let’s back up a second and fully appreciate that description.
The Schmidt sting pain index, a widely used classification system for the bites and stings of ants, bees and wasps, is literally the personal ranking system of a guy named Justin Schmidt, who goes around letting bugs sting him for science. Like, that’s this Thing as a scientist.
In one entry, he describes the sting of the common bee as “almost pleasant, [like] a lover just bit your earlobe a little too hard.”
In another, the sting of the yellowjacket is described as “hot and smoky, almost irreverent. Imagine W. C. Fields extinguishing a cigar on your tongue.“
So when the Schmidt sting pain index characterises the sting of the tarantula hawk as “blinding, fierce [and] shockingly electric”, well, now you know what your standard for comparison is!
this is fascinating but when do we kinkshame Justin Schmidt
“this butt… is the best butt.”
Instead of asking your tarot cards if you will achieve a specific outcome, ask your tarot cards how you can achieve a specific outcome.
Witches be like:
plants good! live plant? good! a baby! must care for! dead plant? useful! important! candles? great! warm! rocks? smooth! shiny! random feather or leaf I found while walking? amazing! a gift!
And honestly? This is my fav mindset

Midas’ Hand Oil
“Everything you touch Shall turn into gold.”
In a base of sunflower oil, blend together : - 1 bay leaf (“laurels of victory” it is + prosperity, protection) - 1 drop of honey (precious gold in liquid form + to sweeten the minds) - 1 gold piece (coin, gold scraps, gold leaf powder, a ring…) - 1 pinch of nutmeg (luck and success) - 3 cloves (to open all paths, to clear all ways + success, courage, strength) - 1 zest of orange, or its peel, or 7 drops of essential oil (orange was once a rarity and therefore treasurable + success, prosperity, joy: traditionally, so that people are happy to do according to your will) - cinnamon, at will (energetic and magical boost, for charisma)
Anoint the mouth (so as to speak well), the temples (where sits the “crown” + so as to think well), the third eye (so as to see well), the hands (so that your actions are successful and flourishing)
Utilisation : Use with caution - this is a very potent oil and, as its name suggests, should be handled with care. Do not overuse, and do not be greedy of its results. Always be careful what you wish for. Suitable for all issues requiring success : job interviews, exams, love affairs, games and gambling alike.

Yes witch
@rob-anybody
me, a witch, squinting as i stare down my dark hallway: is that massive lump of shadow in the corner one of my cats or do i need to get the sage again
You can level with the spirits, you guys
Be upfront. If they make demands that are beyond your abilities, let ‘em know.
“Is this wine not fancy enough for your tastes?Is this statue not appealing enough? Help me to help you. Get me a better job/a raise/a big fat check and then I’ll make it better.”
If you want to pursue a spiritual path that could involve, say, buying a ridiculously expensive book from Ebay because the original was a limited edition that sold out in 2006…
“If this is the path I am to pursue, help me and I will reward you.”
Of course, if they follow-through, for goodness sake, give everything you promised
