LOL! We've been inspiring each other for years.

Mine is Hedgewitch/Hedgedruid, Reference, Queer Witchcraft, Queer Divination, and Miscellaneous.

D.I.D. face claims.

Every now and then, I get the urge to sort through images I've downloaded to my phone and find the ones that resonate with the alters in my mind. This is what came up this evening. #dissociativeidentitydisorder

I got it at Marshalls about two weeks ago. They might still have some!

As my path is part #hedgewitch and part #hedgedruid , it seems appropriate that acorns would be the first foraged items in my mini apothecary. #witchsky #witchmadness #gaywitch

Foraged acorns

Somehow these ended up in my pocket on today's riverside stroll. #witchsky #witchmadness #witchwalk #hedgewitch #gaywitch

I live in my best friend's guestroom. That does not leave much room to spread out. Exploring my Craft is important to me though, so I have done my best to give it proper space. #witchsky #witchmadness #gaywitch

Samhain Blessings and Happy Halloween!

I may have gone a little overboard at the bookstore this Halloween. #witchsky #witchmadness #gaywitch

Yep! That's coming for sure. There's a great trail next to the river by my house. I'm sure there are treasures to be found.

A hedge witch altar.

Very much a work in progress, but I am shifting my altar to more of a #hedgewitch style. Anyone have any suggestions of things to include or change? #witchsky #witchmadness #gaywitch

A $38 trip to Michaels today turned what was supposed to be a Christmas decoration into a #hedgewitch apothecary! #witchsky #witchmadness #gaywitch

The Path of the Hedge Witch: Simple Natural Magic and the Art of Hedge Riding by Joanna van der Hoeven

Spending a quiet evening with a good book. #hedgewitch #witchsky #witchmadness #gaywitch

That has been my understanding too. Good to know I'm on the right track!

This is a perfect place to start! I have noticed that a number of books and content creators say hedgewitch but then it's really green witch stuff.

Thank you!

I have been drawn to liminal spaces my entire life. This is the first path I've explored that really connected with that.

Will do! Thank you.

A shelf filled with books on Hedge Witchcraft and Hedge Druidry.

I started exploring Hedge Witchcraft and Hedge Druidry a couple months ago. Any other Hedges here on #witchsky or #witchmadness ? Any favorite Hedge authors or content creators?

Anything deemed adult or sensitive by the state.

Well, that sucks. Thanks to a law change in my state, BlueSky wants me to verify my identity to access the full platform. One of the things I liked about BlueSky was the anonymity. Trying to decide if it's worth it or not. I think I'd only miss my witchy folks.

I am a licensed mental health professional. My way of combating the chaos is creating safe space for marginalized people to express their thoughts and feelings about the state of the world. In order to stay sane while doing so, I am having to limit the time I spend on social media. What a world.

But just know that there is evil in the world. Real evil. You can fight it, or you can hide and pretend it doesn't exist. - Scott Snyder

I spent my entire childhood staring into the face of evil while it ripped away innocence and laughed. I refuse to weep when evil dies...
