Long time no see witches of Bluesky! How is it going? I’ve been working on my new handmade grimoire and it’s looking pretty good so far! #WitchSky #ArtistSky

Today is April 25th, and Italy we celebrate the liberation from the Nazis and Fascists. Today is a celebration of freedom, and I honor this day to thank my ancestors who fought so that their children could be free 🌹 Viva l’Italia Antifascista!

I'd recommend doing things which bring wonder back into your life. Repetitive Mundane actions can lead to what I call "human brain". It's a good idea to do things outside of your normal routine to keep in touch with the magical part of yourself. #witchsky #pagansky

Wonderful advice! I’ll def Put it into practice, thank you 💜✨

Great advice! It’s like going back to the basics but with a fresh twist every time 😊

Lately, I’ve been feeling a bit disconnected from my practice. What do you do when that happens to you? #Witchsky #folkmagic

Good job! That's so beautiful and the details are amazing! 🗝

Have you ever considered making a scrapbook-style grimoire? Mine actually started that way! Until I felt confident enough in my skills to draw in it I used the scrapbooking technique!

Thank you! Omg keep up the work! I bet it's going to be an amazing grimoire 💗

As the new ancestors,

How are you archiving our era?

Write, Journal and or Create Art.

Thank you! I made it myself but it's definetely going to be a family heirloom for my future children 💗

(2) Close the bag and fumigate it with a protection incense while reciting the prayer to Hekate Enodia (She who is on the road). Carry it with you everytime you drive #witchsky #witchmadness #folkmagic

Protection Charm Bag for Driving: work on a waxing moon, on a Tuesday, during Mercury's hour. Take a red bag and put in lavander for calm, mint for mental clarity, rosemary for protection and laurel for luck. Add a taglock or any protection sigil of your choice. 🧵⤵️ #witchsky #witchmadness #folkmagic

I'm sorry for replying so late! Thank you for you kind comment. I'm doing much better now 💜

Yes the energy has been very chaotic lately! I'm so excited about the blood moon but here in Italy the lunar eclipse will not be visible ❤️‍🩹🥹

how are y'all doing? I had a very rough week and took a break from posting! #witchsky #witchmadness

For Day 10 of #witchmadness, I want to do a short post about the liminal spaces.

My best jumps have corresponded with the betwix and betweens. So as a tool, for a #Hedgewitch, this is probably one of the most important. 🧵

Animism.
Is the idea that all things have spirit. I literally mean everything. My spin is that not all things have enough spirit to be awake.
The more life, story, and myth the greater the odds of it being awake. That doesn't mean it will want to work with you.
Still Consent

Day 4 #WitchMadness
Intentions Vs Spells: how do you use them?

I use Intentions when I have no time to weave a spell, especially when I need something quickly.

A spell is the transposition of intention onto the physical plane. There's no spell without Intentions.

Day 3 (I'm lateeee) #witchmadness
What's a simple daily ritual you practice?

I find a moment every day to honour my ancestors: i clean their altar, give them new offerings, just be present with them in complete silence and then I say some prayers for them, that's it 💫

Amazing, I'm glad to hear that! 😊

Each witch's practice differs depending on the region they live in, working with the spirits that inhabit their land and using materials from their territory

Day 2: #WitchMadness Italian Witchcraft is a set of practices based on Italian history and folklore, which varies from region to region. It includes animistic and shamanic elements and a syncretized heritage of the pagan religion that were present on the peninsula, especially Greek, Roman and Norse

Thank you so much!

I'd like to know that! thank you, you're so kind 😊🫶🏻

Oh my god this is gorgeous ❤️‍🔥

Amazing, that's exactly what I meant! 😊

My favourite herb has to be rosemary for its scent, taste and magical properties! But I also love and use lavender as well💜

This doesn't mean that a modern practitioner of italian folk magic can't call themself a witch, it simply means they must be aware that this term does not apply to all practitioners
