Needles and Pins
Needles and Pins….
When a Witch marries
...her Trouble Begins ~
Being a farm witch is no easy task ~
everyday there are many chores to do…
like:
Cleaning
"I'm gathering fallen twigs to make our brooms, then sweeping the dust & cobwebs from my farmhouse" |
Making sure to talk to our trees ~
and listening to what they have to say in return…
"…so I said…"she has GOT to be kidding, ...going out in public with her petticoat showing like that…" |
Gathering cobwebs from the barn
to use in our spinning, weaving & lacemaking…
"left over right, under and over, right over left & back again ~" |
Foraging & Gathering for our food ~
"…would you prefer toadstool tartlets or fungi fricassee for supper tonight dearie?…" |
and of course, it's no easy task keeping the home-fires burning
... to cook a stew or dye some linen & wool ~
boil bubble toil & trouble... |
