Spanish Moss is "The Veil" in my magical writings. It isn't a parasite - it's an air plant; absorbing only what the wind, fog, & bark from tree bring to it. The ultimate architecture for listening to unseen currents. What might it teach you? #SwampLifeSunday #Nature #Okefenokee #FolkWitch

I've had these two staffs for over 30 years now. I called out to find the right tree, and both responded (at different times). All carving and finishing done by me. One ventured on a pilgrimage to Europe with me in 2000. #FolkWitchFriday #FolkWitch #WitchSky #OccultSky

One of my tools looks like an ordinary small river rock. It's actually far more than that. A battery of power, faith, and magic. The Land provided the perfect shape to hold and anchor the work. #FolkWitchFriday #FolkWitch #Pellor #WitchSky

The jaw & crown are purified, ready to meet again. Before the final set, the skull can be filled with intention — a custom load to seal its purpose as a guardian. This is where the physical bone becomes a living tool. The craft is in the reassembling. #FolkWitch #SouthernConjure #WitchSky #OccultSky

Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom recently joined the UGA Coastal Ecology Lab for a fantastic journey into the Okefenokee Swamp. If you get a chance to see the whole segment, do it! Here is the promo for it: #Nature #Okefenokee #FolkWitch #WitchSky #Ecology youtu.be/n10G5Qp0Wio?...

How American Alligators Shape ...

An alligator bellow is one of the most incredible sounds of the Okefenokee. Alligators bellow for several reasons - to attract mates, establish their size, intimidate their rivals, & to socialize. There's nothing quite like hearing this in person! #FolkWitch #Nature #Okefenokee #WitchSky

While the head simmers, the claws are resting in a bed of borax to cure. If the scutes are the armor and the head is the guardian, the claw is the grip. Saving these to fix into hands that hold fast to blessings and tear through tricks. The grit continues! #FolkWitch #WitchSky #SwampMagic #Nature

Processing the Old One's head today. It's a major job of work to separate the flesh and free the bone. The path to 'fixin' this swamp guardian is gritty work... It's required and worth it. #FolkWitch #WitchSky #Nature

The Work is the antidote to doubt. Simmering the gator hauls today, skull & armor, which strips away the "imposter" and reveals the practitioner. You can’t fake the steam, the stink, or the grit of the harvest. Reclaiming the bones of the St. Mary’s is my signature on the Land. #FolkWitch #WitchSky

To govern the muck, you must be willing to touch it. Today is about the simmer & the scrape - refining a "St. Mary’s gift" into a relic. Folk magic is often heavy, stinky, & honest. I don't just witness the mirror - I reach into the depths to bring the bone back. #SwampSunday #WitchSky #FolkWitch
