Hooklanders talk of 'the Other Path'. It flows from sea to county's northern edge, but never seems to start nor end in the same place twice. It's said if you walk too far along it, you'll find yourself in Faery. This may explain another name it has – 'the Way of the Lost'. – #CLNolan

New North Sea oil and gas fields would emit as much CO₂ as UK households produce in 30 years, according to research from Uplift. These destructive and unnecessary licences must be stopped. We need renewable energy, not climate destruction.

The salt-hag does not fear the storm,. does not flee transforming tide. Her wisdom is not only knowing which winds and waves are coming, but upon the rocks to place her feet. For in withstanding there is often a need for witch-standing, a turning into the tempest. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

People understandably want to help wildlife, but may end up unintentionally doing more harm than good. No one wants that. So as a quick stop guide for those who have or want to give handouts to wildlife, here is some info that you can read or share when you see others in this scenario. 🧵🦝🦌🦆🦊1/7

We currently consume 1.7 Earth budgets per year. Planetary resources are finite, and we aren’t using them sustainably … why civilization’s survival depends on collective action to tackle this existential threat. www.weforum.org/stories/2024...

I am the wind across a deep, wide lake. I am the wave over the endless sea. I am the stag of seven tines, racing through the woods. I am the eagle in the aerie, flying above the rocks. I am a flash of light from the sun above, bringing heat to those below.... /|\ #druidsky #witchsky

I have just devoured this. If you are drawn to Cymric based druidry, this is a must read/listen imho. Great Rheged references, in depth Awen, Taliesin and Ceridwen analysis from a Bardic perspective. /|\ www.audible.co.uk/pd/B0D38X2WJ...

When the branches of a great tree stretch in opposite directions, they still draw strength from the same roots. May the left and right find unity in their shared soil, standing together against the forces that seek to uproot us all. #druidsky #pagansky #witchsky #bluesky

This is the Druid's Altar at Heysham in Lancashire,UK. There are hundreds of references to Druidic Altars across the British Isles. This one at least looks the part. Located within a few hundred yards of the place where St Patrick is alleged to have landed in England. /|\ #druidsky #pagansky

Trees: we eat their fruit, they provide us with shade and they are nature's power plants, from the gas carbon dioxide that we exhale, they make the oxygen that we breathe. But above all, trees are beautiful and worth protecting - and the older they get, the more valuable they are

With their leaves and needles, the trees act like giant filters. One ha. of beech forest can filter around 70 tons of dust out of the air every year, a ha. of spruce forest as much as 30 tons. In addition trees produce oxygen. Forests and parks as "green lungs" are important.🌳🌲

One of the most impactful things I learned from David Abram (Becoming Animal, Spell of the Sensuous) was perceptual reciprocity - who we perceive is also perceiving us. Holding that idea makes moments like this profound. #backyardwildlife #druidsky /|\ #interconnection

The forest, a cathedral of life, its ancient trees whispering wisdom to those who listen. Each leaf holds a balm for the weary soul, every root a reminder of our shared connection. Enter with reverence, breathe deeply, and let the sacred green heart heal you. #bluesky #pagansky #druidsky #witchsky

Thresholds are engines of magic. The salt-hags thresholds are the cliffs she walks, the shore she strides. They transmute with each storm, each mutating tide. She must continually map them with her feet. Any talk of witchcraft that ignores such witchgraft is disingenuous. – #EmilyCanting #WitchSky

I am a witch. I'll never apologise for my slow navigations across the land. For each hedge offers wonders. Each path has it spirits, its talkative trees. I shall get to where I need to be at the pace of my curiosity and the nature's desire to hold me in its splendour. – #EmilyCanting #WitchSky

The Alder King may be sleeping. The Master of Moss may be hibernating. The witch still walks the woods. For there is gathering to be done, spirited conversations to be had. Her magic does not sleep, her magic doesn't shiver. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

This is the forest primeval. The murmuring pines and the hemlocks, Bearded with moss, and in garments green, indistinct in the twilight, Stand like Druids of old, with voices sad and prophetic, Stand like harpers hoar, with beards that rest on their bosoms. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. /|\

The year is falling, its last breaths rasped exhalations of dragon's smoke. Each sky is migraine grey. Trees seem to draw closer to each other in their shivering. This is the bruised end of the calendar, where the warding of ill-luck feels needed. – #EmilyCBanting, December 2nd, 1982 #WitchDiary
