I've been here and there while travelling through social media in my craftroom, with all my dolls, one feet in the garden and the other one in the woods. Landed here a few days ago with a bit of doubt, but with curiosity (and probably hope deep down in disbelieving heart). I've landed in a whole new world.
Over the years online I've been gradually surrounded by more and more witches - our interests meet at some point. All kinds of witches. Interesting, weird, funny, smart, woo-woo, enchanting, theatrical, mesmerizing, highly educated, intuitive, helpful, friendly, dominating, almost aetheric and almost too serious, some deeply grounded, some flying high on their brooms, some just playing around and others just growing their wings. Readers, forest dwellers, potion brewers, shop keepers, snake oil sellers, tea spillers, servants of many different gods, researchers, crafters, bards, book keepers, story tellers, and so on. I could write a love song to all of them.
Here it feels like I'm finding the kind I feel in my bones. The ones with pebbles and sticks in their pockets. Those who form relationships with their surroundings. Those who observe. Those who care. Those who listen to slight changes in the air. Those who don't put up a show for others, but practice what they preach. Those who don't stand in ceremonial dresses (oh, I love the confidence of a ceremonial dress, I just don't have one), but sit with plants on their kness planting, replanting, checking, harvesting, silently communicating. Those who put heart, thought and good intention into their crafts. Those who read nature as a metaphor. Those who learn. Often they don't even call themselves witches or wear a badge. Often without scripts, special tools or complicated rituals.You are my kind of witches, even if you don't call yourself witches. Why haven't we met online before?
The urge to share myself with you is strong.
Just that you know, I use the word 'witch' as a compliment, and witch certainly is my favorite archetype.
If you see yourself in anything I described, please, let me find you! We share a path. I would love to know you.
