This is just beautiful:

Scotland just turned 2,500 executions into a pattern you can wear.

It’s called the Witches of Scotland tartan, a living memorial to the people, mostly women, killed under the Witchcraft Act between 1563 and 1736.

Every thread is doing a job. Grey stands for the ashes. Red is the blood. Pink nods to the legal ribbons that bound the trial papers, and black holds the whole dark history together. Then there’s a tiny white check of three threads for what campaigners demanded: a pardon, an apology, a memorial.

Nicola Sturgeon delivered the apology in 2022.

The tartan makes sure nobody forgets why it was needed.

Meanwhile, my beloved pet who is with me in this world has me shouting instructions through to the kitchen on how to make me a chai latte as she's sat on my chest and won't let me up. Nor will she let me breathe! 😺🐾❤️
Cats are definitely the superior species!

In traditional Mexican Dia de los Mu***os, October 27th is the night to welcome back the spirits of your deceased pets and animals.
This is to honour my precious cat Sophie (of whom I have a little figurine) and my one-eyed goldfish, Midnight. 🐾🐠
Rose quartz for so much love, Bay leaves for protection and my beeswax candle, as bees act as messengers between us and the otherworld. Be safe, be happy darling ones ###

Hi y'all! I'm super excited to be part of Darker Days Hastings "Find Your Own Folklore" event coming up on 12 November.

Myself, writer Mel Atkinson and Molly Morrison from the Untruth Seekers will be sharing ghost stories, local legends (and the history behind them,) and showing how a single Tarot card can unlock a tale...

Then we’ll put folklore into action as a living tradition. You’ll draw a set of prompts, and we’ll help you weave them into a story of your own. No writing experience is needed, just curiosity and a taste for the eerie...

Free but book in advance. Donation on day. You can book here: https://wegottickets.com/f/30780

Unfortunately I've had to postpone today's tour due to the predicted absolutely rotten weather. Rain is one thing but Storm Boelo is quite another! 🌩🌀⛈️💨
All bookers have been contacted and refunded and I'll let everyone know the rescheduled date.
Stay cosy everyone! 🕯☕️🍰♨️🛏
