One of my hives swarmed yesterday. They are booming. We caught the swarm, thank goodness, so now I have a hive in a weird part of the yard. Lol. I gave them a smorgasbord of food (fondant, pollen patty and syrup) this morning to help them along. I hope they stay there. #beekeeping #witchesgarden

A hive box on a tarp covered in honey bees, brush all around.

The hive box set up on a base with another box on top to protect the bee food sitting on top of the lower box. Green leaves and bushes all around, long grass on ground.

From the old growth cedar forest, interior of BC. Glorious ancient beings, a nature created cauldron, a nurse stump and the savage medicine of Devil's Club. BC is beautiful. #forestmagic

A huge ancient cedar with many many root clusters around the base.

A hollow stump with a perfect cauldron in the middle. In a deep forest surrounded by ferns.

Trees growing out of the top of an ancient stump that also has moss growing on it. In a deep forest.

A huge stem of Devil's Club with light shining through the leaves, thorns on the stem and flowers in bud. In a deep forest surrounded by ferns.

I'm pretty sure there are faeries sitting on these Bellflowers or something. I had to take a dozen photos to get one to (kind of) focus. #Bloomscrolling #witchesgarden

Pale purple bell flowers sit high on a thin stem over pale green hosta leaves.

I love garlic scape season. These beauties are going to make pesto. #gardenmagic #midsummer #kitchenwitch

A basket full of garlic scapes sits on a wooden table.

Damn it. They are ABSOLUTELY not allowed on any table. So concerned with rules. 🙄 #cats #brats #summer

I've been wanting to witch up my door for years now. Finally got it painted, and set up with pots of herbs and flowers. I don't think it's done yet. #witchsky #druidsky #pagansky

A purple witch's door is surrounded by a huge flowering climbing hydrangea, a black trimmed side light, a Viking style driftwood hanging ornament. A small broom hangs in front of the small window in the door. A set of iron keys can barely be seen to the side. Pots of herbs (rosemary, thyme, lavender, white sage, motherwort, and bay sit on the stone steps leading up to the door. Some pots of flowers are intermixed as well- geraniums, Scottish heather with a draping vine.

I've got this one Hungarian pepper in a pot. It's suppose to have long black peppers that taste like jalapenos. Very goth. But today I noticed the flowers! They are so pretty! #gardenmagic #witchesgarden

A photo taken upside down of a pepper plant flower. It has seven purple lobes with white stripes. The leaves are green against the sky and the sunbeam is pushing through the photo.

The lake at 5:30 AM this morning was especially lovely. A couple of hours later, my 3rd grand daughter (4th grand child) came Earthside. Such a sweet and beautiful morning.

A lakescape with clear blue sky, blue mountain and green forest just being touched by the first rays of sun. A rocky bank and thick green grass in the foreground. The water is smooth and still with perfect reflections.

Another part of the lakescape with rounded mountain tops touched by the rising sun. Clear blue sky above. A rocky bank and thick green grass in the foreground. The water is smooth and still with perfect reflections. Grass and rocks in the foreground.

Later on it finally breached the mountain ridge.

Moonglow above the dark mountain ridge shining between the Spruce and the plum blossoms.

The Flower Moon is riding low just under the horizon tonight. The plum blossoms are fragrant, the frogs sing in the swamp. May this Bealtaine night manifest your desires with magic and will. Bíodh sé amhlaidh! #Bealtaine #Witchsky #Druidsky #pagansky

Plum blossoms by candlelight with a dark treed mountain ridge behind. Moonglow is showing on the ridge with the moon hidden below it.

I need to clean the chicken house but it's just so comfy here on the porch with my coffee and cats.

Behold the violets outside my back door in the moonlight. The scent is strongest in the early morning when I am, fortunately, out there with my coffee. These tiny wild flowers just radiate joy. 💜 #witchsky #druidsky #pagansky

Tiny deep purple violets mostly closed for the night, in a grassy spot with some dried leaves throughout.

Garlic is coming. The weather has been very weird. Wetter than normal but no snow. Warmer than normal but very cold nights. Nothing knows what's going on. #gardening

a garlic patch with garlic about 5 inches high.

Red Jade is a stone of warrior energy. It is a life force stone, helping to keep focus when doing physical activity while also invoking protection. The Spiral is an ancient symbol of the never ending journeys of growth and transformation. #witchsky #druidsky #pagansky ancientearth.ca

Small red jade beads hang in a half triangle shape with 2 more dangles in the middle. These attach to a "v" shape connector on which hangs a spiral charm. The edges of the spiral have a Greek key engraving. The earrings are in silver tone with silver plated ear hooks.

Just got the extra layers off my greenhouse windows so I could open them today. Not a cloud in the sky. It feels like summer in there.

I stood outside just after dawn with eyes closed. I could smell snow on the wind song. There were deer grazing a dead-grass meadow. Even they know. The Cailleach Bhéara is retreating to Her hut in the woods. #Witchsky #Druidsky #Pagansky

I swear I’d never leave here if I didn’t have to buy cat food. #everydayiscatday

My sweet very fluffy cat Freya. She is mostly white with grey on her head and face.

A beeswax candle in a ceramic holder sits on brown leaves beside a clump of crocuses just pushing their way right through the leaf structure. The candle is lit.
