This 17th-century watch is a "memento mori," a reminder of the shortness of life. The inscription roughly translates: "Thus passes wordly glory remember your end." It was sold by Christies in 2017 for £12.5K.

Nat Doig of Weird in the Wade joins the Loreboys to (stand and) deliver the tales of some Bedfordshire highwaymen with absolutely superb names. Hold your ghost horses! The names are not that rude. But if you wouldn't want to look them up on your work computer.

Goodnight

I just learnt a new word ~ shivelight 🌞 Tis translucent shafts of #sunlight filtering through #trees [likely coined from 'shive' the olde english word for 'slice'] turning to gold whatever they fall upon 🌳 That light is so #magickal 🌲✨ #greenwitchtea #greenwitch #animism #nature #healing #peace

Sabbats are holy, yes—but #Witch, don’t forget: #Magick is not confined to calendar dates. Every breath you take is a spell. Every dawn is a ritual. Every mundane moment holds mystery. The sacred isn't out there. It’s you, walking it daily. #witchmadness #astrowitch #pagansky #hexxwitch #witches

I'm NOT like the Others and I'm REALLY ok with that #WITCHSKY

Remember, it’s perfectly acceptable if your weekend plans consist of nothing other than reading a good book, drinking multiple kettles of tea, and indulging in various pastries.

We try to make it real for everyone 🖤❤️‍🔥

That’s the power of pizza

This is Ellie. She saw her humans out kayaking and decided to rescue them. Only slightly overreacted. Still 14/10

Seriously
