The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World

“these plant gifts are a manifestation of unconditional love that plants have for people”
Why does this have me so emotional 😭 Please be good to plants today before I crash out
Hungerstone

You know this Carmilla re-telling is written by a woman bc Carmilla waits until her victim is a fully grown woman instead of the pair of them having to be teenagers
The Turn of the Screw
Henry James
For those who loved this book as much as I did, here is a link to a blog post that has a really interesting analysis of the background, characters, and interpretations:

Happy Autumnal Equinox for all of us in the Northern Hemisphere!! 🍎🦉🦊🍁🦇🍂🕸️🕷️🍄🐈⬛🍄🟫🦔
Today marks the first day of fall and it has always had a extra witchy feel to it to me, as a final day where the day and night are in equal measure before we drift towards the dark of winter. What are your favorite fall activities and do you like to do anything to welcome in the season? What are your favorite fall reads, or ones you’re looking forward to?

We went to a harvest festival recently and it’s one of my favorite things to do this time of year! My toddler and I also started a paining last night with little orange thumb prints and I finished today with a few details to make them little pumpkins!
I love classic horror for the fall (Frankenstein, Dracula, Carmilla, The Turn of the Screw), The Secret History is great for fall into winter with the dark academia vibe, and Sangu Mandanna‘s The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches and A Witch‘s Guide to Magical Innkeeping are great for witchy, cozy vibes.
I‘m most looking forward to Weyward by Emilia Hart, The Unknown by Riley Sagar, The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones and Vampires of El Norte by Isabel Cañas this fall!
