sooooooooooooooooo

A project I wanted to do for this year is to make a mini book of cycles. Like I love following the seasons and the wheel of the year but we as a community need to realize the wheel really makes sense in like.. the UK.. and dassit lol. Also it has deep celtic roots that can somewhat be celebrated secularly but its kind of half assing the tradition but anyway I wanted to make this collection focus on the many terrains of the US (maybe all of north America but I like to focus on here first), make it focus on bioregional animism and maybe even leave room in case someone would like to overlap their religion onto it, though it will mostly be secular and focusing on the earth. I am going to pour into research of almanacs, local animals, plants and foods, and seasonal harvests and I am mostly at this point looking for witches to make a database so I can start out with a network!

So I will deeply deeply appreciate if you are a:

• Swamp witch
• Desert Witch
   
• Appalachia Witch
• Southern Witch (Like SE southern also including southern Appalachia and Virginia, that’s not in a swamp)
• New England Witch
• Pacific Northwest Witch
• Prairie Witch
• Rockies Witch
• South Beach Witch (Please specify Atlantic, Pacific or Gulf)
• Deciduous woodlands witch (Specifically the East like NJ, NY, Connecticut, Delaware. This might sound very specific but this area has its own vibes). 
• And if you live in a four season temperate deciduous woodland climate elsewhere just like, specify where since they might be very similar yet they have their unique qualities. (It’s why I also specified Pacific Northwest and Appalachia. I just can’t think of any other temperate deciduous woodland areas). 
• Also Tropics witch, though I don’t think the USA has any tropical territories besides those it seriously neglects (like Puerto Rico) HOWEVER the US has a lot of caribbean-Americans and many that I know use stuff from their home countries to connect to their heritage and magic so it would be cool to focus on that region too. 

and like mention in the tags or reblog with what you are! Thanks so much!

I’d love to participate in this, as a witch who has never felt like I could relate to the Wheel of the Year.

I’ve thought about maybe starting with the solstices and equinoxes as my rough outline?

Under your list, I am a Southern Witch, but that feels strange to me because I just moved here, and I’m sort of on the border where people deeper South would say, “THAT’S NOT THE SOUTH!” XD I’m in Virginia, but I’m from Minnesota originally.

Pacific Northwest Witch right here!

PNW Witch as well

Yet another PNW witch here 🙂

This has been something I’ve focused on the last few years. I still celebrate the festivals that align with celestial events on their days.

But for the others I’ve started digging into what precisely defines that holiday, and waiting until I feel the energy is right 🙂 It has absolutely deepened my practice, and my connection to where I live.

The Wheel, as far as I know, doesn’t have deep Celtic roots. It was developed, I believe, by Gardner and then adopted more broadly. That said, I do think it likely that seasonal festivals were a part of older cultures. We as a people like to celebrate and mark things. 

Heyo I live in New York and I’m quite near the deciduous woods you need, as well as the local pine barrens.
