Sometimes, I think I am a wolf

A ghost that moves through the forest

Clear pawprints on snow

Bonds stretched unbreakable to the pack around me

Blood alive, singing, I am here, I know what I am meant to be

Then I remember

I am a half feral dog

Chained in the backyard

The metal bites into my neck

If I could I would chew myself free

Maybe I will try anyways

The hands that feed are the hands that beat

I am not like the tamed, toothless creatures around me and they know it

Do I not want what they have?

A gentle touch, a treat from the plate

I scream - we could be free together, a true pack

But they do not hear the call as I do

It is a terrible thing, to know others and yet be alone

I am not the only one of my kind

Creatures of matted fur and snapping jaws

Maybe there I can find true connection

But they are all focused on their own chains

They cannot spare a thought for mine

They say to save yourself first but we cannot save anybody

I am a wild thing in a tame body

Craving human connection but shying away in the same breath

Sometimes, I want those reaching hands to come close

But at the last instant I cannot help the baring of teeth

The desire to bite and rip and tear until they never touch me again

Maybe it isn't the chains binding me, but the fear

I have been away from the wild too long

Would I still belong if I went back?

Would my heart still sing with the joy of being alive?

Would the trees recognise me, changed as I am?

I wonder who I am without the anger

I don't know if there's anything left for me there.

I am a half feral dog

Straining against the chains to get to that faraway land of anywhere-but-here

Looking for a pack I cannot be sure exists

Blood on my teeth, anger flooding ny veins

I think the anger is all that is left

You can steal the wolf from the wild, but you can't beat the wild out of the wolf.

I love you transformation through destruction, I love you grief turned into rage, I love you self fulfilling prophecies and fate nipping at your heels, I love every chaotic and ugly emotion that defines the human experience and I love the flames that clear the forest so new shoots can grow and I love my patron

Born to do elaborate rituals under the moon, forced to curl up in bed muttering prayers for strength and patience to get through the body's latest tantrum

Correspondence but not in the long lists from books way but in the studying folklore and scientific properties and healing uses, meditating on the plant and playing word association with what you find until one day you're planning a spell and inspiration blesses you with her sweet smile and you're like "Oh, I know a guy thatd be perfect for this" and its just something chilling in your garden

#wren's warbles #witchcraft #plant witchcraft #to clarify lists are still useful !! sometimes im less familiar with stuff and rely on what other witches have found #or used correspondence lists to fogure out what plants i should be researching #but ime the more time youve spent building a relationship with a spell ingredient the more it responds #but then again im approaching this frkm an aminist perspective so ymmv #plant spirits my beloved <3

Anyway, witches, if you don't have a plant ID app on your phone - what are you doing?

I really reccomend iNaturalist because it gives you little AI suggestions but also leaves your posts open to review by Real People (shoutout to the guy who saw me put up a flower like "Hmm, yeah, some kind of bindweed? I think?" And IDed it perfectly). It also let's you scroll through things that have been found in your area, so catch me scrolling through, noting down potential witchcraft ingredients and stuff that's good for foraging.

Ofc, be careful, never ingest something without a 100% positive ID. But yeah, plant ID apps my beloved !! Super useful tool, and pretty fun !

For my city witches- don't let yourself be fooled into thinking there can't be anything useful in your city. I live in a pretty major city and I was honestly shook by the amount of herbs and useful plants that are there if you just take a moment to look.

(Also iNaturalist let's you ID birds, animals, insects etc which is very funky.)

Thinking about how depending on what you charge it with, use with, who you invoke, etc (typical spell stuff) iron pyrite can be used well either for attracting wealth or destroying it.

I'm not usually a crystal and rock kinda witch but they are useful sometimes and I am not immune to small jars of fool's gold pieces at the antique fair.

Gotta love a flexible spell component - maybe tell me your favourites???

Sometimes you get home from an emotionally exhausting day at eleven pm, want nothing more than to grab the closest cat, get in your bed and have a good long cry... And then you remember when gathering materials yesterday you promised a tree spirit you'd give them an offering and have a chat today so you think longingly about your cuddle cat and cry session and drag yourself outside.

#remembered as i was unlocking my apartment #the tree is on the driveway so i dont have to go far but i do not want to go outside sob sob sob #wren's warbles #plant spirits #spirit work #land spirits #witchcraft

Friendly reminder - Don't forget about your tea while it steeps !!
