Shropshire has been known by many names including Pengwern (Head of the Alder grove/marsh), with its frontier once referred to as "Bron Wrgan". It was here that king Arthur slaughtered various giants to help free the imprisoned brothers of Gwenhwyfar. #Shropshireday #folkloresky #pagansky #witch

Does unman yn debyg i gartref. Dydd Sir Amwythig hapus bawb 💛💙💛Happy #Shropshireday Being a borderland child, I'm proud to call this county home alongside Sir Drefaldwyn in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 & i adore highlighting its Welsh roots. Today marks the feast of its Patron Saint: Milburga #folkloresky #witchsky

Enchantment is everywhere. The coffee machine at my local cafe is called Hecate. Every white chocolate mocha I drink is blessed by the Goddess ☕️😆

With spring in the air, I’m looking to try and promote my book a little more. If you think ‘An Apostates Guide to Witchcraft’ would be a good fit for your podcast, conference, workshop, book signing, or any other event please let me know! I would very much appreciate it ❤️

You don’t have to be the bigger person. Sometimes hexing is the best way to heal 😜

I wrote a book teaching people witchcraft but then Lady Gaga came along and did it with a song 🎃 both ways are good 😜

co-sign 🪄 i have an embarrassment of cool sticks

Self-care is picking up cool stick on all your walks and using them as wands

Thought it was time to re-introduce myself 😄 Hi, I'm Moss, the person not the plant. I'm the type of person who'll dive headfirst into a fairy ring (and probably film myself doing it 😆). I also write about witchcraft (and leaving a cult), but honestly, I'd rather be out chasing fairies 🧚‍♂️

Welcome to the kingdom of Moss. Please lie down in the grass until nature reclaims you. Someone will be along to collect your bones shortly

Love the way the frost patterns look like feathers 🥰 beauty exists all around us 😊

Go get yourself some fairy milk, as a treat 😜🧚‍♂️

Growing up in a fundamentalist Christian cult I wasn’t allowed to listen to Lady Gaga because she was ‘Satanic’ Now I’m loving Abracadabra not only because it’s an absolute tune, but also because I know they’ll be absolutely losing their shit about it and that’s a profound act of reclaiming for me 😂

Be careful when dating a witch. I thought it was all romantic and metaphorical when he said he’d visit me in my dreams, now he’s there every night making sure I’m not dreaming of other men

I wasn’t born to work in an office. I was born to frolic in ancient forests and dance among mushrooms 🍄

Make sure you eat the food in the fairy world 😝

The mythology lover and witch/pagan Venn diagram is basically a circle 😜

Just read a post that said ADHD is like being possessed by yourself, and I’ve never related so hard 😂 There’s me, and there’s my inner impulsive demon who is also me, and then there’s the inattentive one who emerges whenever I dare sit down 😅

I finally got round to writing another blog post all about the magic, history & mythology of the rose.🌹A sacred flower of many Goddesses, the rose holds important wisdom for the world to embody ❤️ #witchsky #pagansky #witch #folklore #esotericsky thepagancollective.wordpress.com/2025/01/31/q...

So glad I found my very own witchy fae 🥰 here’s to many more adventures this year @witchofsalopia.bsky.social 😘❤️

There is no one true way to be spiritual. Spirituality is too vast to be contained in any one tradition, and it's OK not to have all the answers. There can be great joy in the mystery

Self-care is vanishing into the forest and sleeping on a bed of moss

I don’t want a casual relationship. If he hasn’t set up a rose quartz altar and made a poppet of me after the first date, I’m not interested 😆

Some people get their thrills travelling or driving fast cars, for me it’s slowly turning my house into a library. Basically the same thing though

You might not be everyone’s cup of tea… but you can always be the witch who feeds them a poisoned apple 🍎

Having a witchy boyfriend is great until we have an argument and he starts chanting under his breath…

Why do I have to actually read to learn? Why can't I just be near books and absord the information through Osmosis?

It’s always a scary thing putting your hand in a horse skull, thankfully the Mari Lwyd is a gentle beast 🥰

Having a witchy boyfriend is great because he always has a tincture or ointment whenever I get ill

Currently mad at the past version of me because he thought it would be a good idea not to buy any snacks in…

Just a reminder that my book makes a great companion for a cup of coffee 😜

My witchy boyfriend loves to get outside and touch Moss… I’m very lucky 😆

My New Year’s resolution is to actually write in some of my fancy notepads… But New Year’s resolutions are made to be broken, right!? 😆

Is it too early to be excited for Halloween already? 🎃

Happy New Year from me and @witchofsalopia.bsky.social 💜 it's been an eventful year, and I know that with my wonderful man by my side, 2025 will be amazing 🥰 wishing everyone all the best for the year to come 😊

A lovely day in Port Sunlight with my muse, my fairy, and the man of my dreams @witchofsalopia.bsky.social 🥰

Finding the Christmas cat is our new tradition. This year we found the Catto in about 5 minutes and they stayed with us for our whole Christmas walk. Definitely an auspicious omen 😸

Yeah, fairies might make you dance for all eternity, but at least you don’t have to worry about credit scores in the otherworld

‘Mari Lwyd, Lwyd Mari: A sacred thing through the night we carry. Betrayed are the living, betrayed are the dead: All are confused by a horses head.’ - The Ballad of Mari Lwyd - Vernon Watkins

Blessed Solstice everyone 🥳 what better way to celebrate than a cheeky kiss with Mari Lwyd under the mistletoe 🥰

This is Penny. My own little fairy hound from the otherworld. While she appears to be a puppy, she is actually 14 years old, but will not reveal the location of the fountain of youth for less than 16 treats and a chunk of cheese. Behold her magnificence

Forever contemplating on a tree 🌳

I somehow found a chair too big even for me 😆

Always wonderful to spend some time with the Welsh Dragon. They have the best gossip 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿😜
