Curate, connect, and discover
Here’s my contribution to the #regionalwitchcraftchallenge started by Via Hedera

So I wasn’t sure if I should have taken part in this because #Maine doesn’t really have anything (that I know of) that is specific to the region.
To make up for that, I try to incorporate as much of the local flora, fauna, and landscape as I can.

-Maine black bear skull, gifted from a local hunter
-Novena candle (one side of my family is Catholic and that has started to influence my craft)
-Locally harvested cedar
-Two keepsakes of my departed grandparents
-Birch Water (à la “An Carow Gwyn”) with bark harvest from my property
-An antique rosary found while thrifting
-A hag stone from the coast of Maine
-Selected bones from my casting kit that are all local animals (red fox, coyote, beaver, bobcat)
-An arrowhead from our state museum
-Ritual blade made from white-tail deer
