“There are seven herbs that nothing natural or supernatural can injure; they are vervain, John’s-wort, speedwell, eyebright, mallow, yarrow, and self-help. But they must be pulled at noon on a bright day, near the full of the moon, to have full power…. Of all herbs the yarrow is the best for cures and potions. It is even sewn up in clothes as a preventive of disease.”

See, that’s the thing for me – there doesn’t need to be a line between them. The hearth is such an important part of hospitality and the home (both sacred spheres in my brand of Gaelic Polytheism) that any work you do as a hearth witch is also a part of your Gaelic Polytheism if you want it to be. Bake something and share it with your friends, have a pot of tea on at all times for any guests you may have, weave your magic into your recipes and give them freely to co-workers, family, friends, etc, swap recipes with fellow GaelPols and talk about our deities or your ancestors as you cook. It can all be incorporated together if you ask me. It’s all acts of devotion so embrace it and enjoy it! Take care!
Everyone snap snap the beautiful Amralime Anthology Fanbook– it’s full of Hobbit and art what more do you need (plus my page is there with a tiny bilbo)
Hi folks! I haven’t posted here in a long time but I wanted to share this Halloween costume I made. It was partly inspired by the horrible bird people in Heironymous Bosch paintings (The Garden of Eathly Pleasures especially) and also partly by just some Halloween raven and red riding hood spooky fun. Hope u all enjoy xoxoxoxo
