To the Goddess of Spring, the Welsh deity of healing and fire, Braint, hear us welcome you! You have awoken to us cheering your name in prayer! 🐇

🌼Your inner fire brings forth the daffodils out of winter slumber. You call for the ice to thaw and the rivers to flow freely and they answer. May your light bless us on this, your honoured feast day ☀️

From the wonderful Druids of Anglesey, I invite you to rejoice in this prayer to Braint:

“Braint, Brid, Briganti, Goddess of flame and light,

I sing my spell of swelling bud, light shall conquer night,

Brigid, Braint, Brigantia, a candle to you I raise,

Blessed maiden of the spring, your awakening I praise.”

Wishing you all a very blessed Spring season wherever you are!! 🌱🐥☀️

Dyma fy nghelfyddyd ar farmor, y mae darluniad o ddwy coeden aur — yr enw o fy waithio gwyrdd ac aur yn ‘Alban Eilir’; dyma i gyhoeddi pryd ‘Golau o Ddaear’ yn dychwelyd.

Dwi’n eisiau fy waithio i werthu yn y farchnad yr dydd Mawrth yn farchnad Y Fenni toc lol

Hefyd. Os unrhyw un gallu helpu i mi gyda fy Nghymraeg… helpu mawr hynny. Dwi’n byw yn de Cymru - es i ddim yn mynd i’r ysgol gynradd siarad Cymraeg lmao

Yn Saesneg:

This is my artwork on marble. There’s an illustration of two golden trees - the name of my green and gold works is ‘Alban Eilir’; this is to herald when the ‘Light of the Earth’ returns.

I want to sell my work at the market at Abergavenny Market soon lol

Also. If anyone can help me with my Welsh, it’d be a great help. I live in South Wales and didn’t go to a welsh speaking primary school lmao

Exploring the land of Y Ddraig Goch, the Red Dragon 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

You might have heard the legend behind how the red dragon became the emblem of Wales. It is a fantastical story…one of a King desperately trying to build a castle, of royal advisors intent on sacrificing a child. A story of the young Merlin showing up said advisors, and revealing to the King that the reason his castle continues to fall is because of the presence of two dragons battling beneath the earth.

One dragon was red. The other white. The red represented the native Britons, the ancestors of the Welsh. The white represented invaders, those who came to these shores with aims of conquering the people and the land.

Despite the Red dragon being smaller, and seemingly weaker…every time it seemed defeated, it rose again and continued to fight.

This was a prophecy. A symbol that though our people, our culture, our language would always be under attack…we will rise again. We will persevere.

These photos are from when friends and I journeyed to the very place this story takes place.

Dinas Emrys, located in Eryri, North Wales.

What a stunning place. A powerful place. We climbed up steep hills, enjoyed the waterfalls, we were enchanted by the mossy landscape, and captivated by the very song of the mountains.

What an amazing and magical day. How fortunate we are to have such enchantment right on our doorstep.

I’m so sick & tired of all these g/cidal, fascist colonizers! Nazis, Christofascists, Zionists, Islamofascists, queerphobes, & capitalists are EVERYWHERE!

Palestine is starving and needs FOOD and LIBERATION from Israeli colonization!

Christofascist capitalists reign throughout Turtle Island (and elsewhere), oppressors that have been dormant are warming up to the 2nd Trump admin and acting out even more!

Congo bears almost all the weight of producing the world’s technology, even their little children are required to mine hazardous cobalt and lithium to help make a living!

Sudanese have been repeatedly raped and killed throughout enduring conflict between Sudanese military and RSF militias, all this enabled by the wealthy Christofascist West, just like they enable death and starvation in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Afghanistan, …

All these pathetic fascist pigs and pigbots are the real “epidemic” , the real “disease” that need to be eradicated, RFK Jr. and his eugenicist ass included!

Enchant your social media block lists as Death Notes for these pigs! It is NOT worth engaging with those who have obviously gone reprobate, for those adamant narcissistic sociopaths that ceaselessly choose fascism over peace and liberation for all. When they get blocked from our lives, they shall also be blocked from their lives! Don’t forget to report too!

Turn every glass bottle you can into a curse against these fascists. Almost every liquor bottle I’ve bought has been reused as a curse bottle. Make it nasty, make it burn, make it hurt, poison them, humiliate them, anything to fuck up those fascists!

Keep track of names, info, and photos of fascists that can be utilized in curses and death work. Burn them, drown them, bury them, compost them, or leave them to the will of the entities of the peoples that they have oppressed.

Devote yourself to working with entities from the Canaanite pantheon in your workings for liberating Palestine and abolishing Israel, for example; these were the Indigenous deities of the Indigenous peoples of Canaan before Lord Adonai’s Israelites g/cided and displaced them to monopolize their Abrahamic/Yahwist monotheofascism, as detailed throughout the Tanakh. (So sorry, anti-Zio Jews, y’all are absolutely awesome for trying to do the right things when it comes to the Palestinian g/cide, but Zionism is the very foundation of Judaism, and all Abrahamic religions.)

All fascists need to be culled, euthanized, put to death like the diseased animals they are! All that has been stolen shall be returned to their rightful owners, and—like the Nottoway plantation and the European pines in Israel—the thieves shall face their punishment by raging fire.

I can tell that we’re all getting tired, many of us are disengaging from the chaos and giving up on Earth and humanity, which is what our oppressors want. But we must continue to purge the evil from our Earth and all Its children.

Witchcraft in Wales

Only five people were found guilty and hanged for witchcraft in Wales, in comparison to the estimated 500 executions in England and somewhere between 3,000 and 4,000 in Scotland.

There was a unique outlook on witchcraft in early modern Wales. For centuries Wales has been considered as a land of magic and the supernatural. The English sometimes travelled into Wales in search for soothsayers and enchanters.

There were fears of witchcraft and black magic in Wales however, but accusations played out differently among communities. Additionally, there was a reliance of soothsayers and wise women or ‘healers’, meaning that ‘magic’ was less likely to be brought to the attention of the court.

There are some similarities between Welsh women and descriptions of witches in literature like the Malleus Maleficarum. They included appearance, unreformed religion, and the reliance on charms to heal. Some researchers theorised that the traditional black hat of the Welsh woman inspired the wide-brimmed hat of the fairy tale witch.
