A gnome that wanders the upper Midwest. I love my Wife, Hekate, used book stores, coffee shops, the woods, and rivers, especially rivers. I write Haiku, make art, read esoteric books, and ponder.

I have been playing with Hedge jumping/Witch flight/ astral projection. Imagining is the spark that crosses over.

I wait for insight and when one of them finds me and I think it maybe valuable potentially for others only then I post it. This means my feed moves at a slow pace.04 Sep 2026 14:56 +0000at://did:plc:ty2d7kmtv26keeonmc6nmdj5/app.bsky.feed.post/3mup7xfh4j22ahttps://bsky.app/profile/taionthegnome.bsky.social/post/3mup7p4ztrc2aRiverside lounging I look up and see Selene Oh Look a Monarch04 Sep 2026 14:52 +0000at://did:plc:ty2d7kmtv26keeonmc6nmdj5/app.bsky.feed.post/3mup7p4ztrc2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/taionthegnome.bsky.social/post/3muow63tf2s2p#folkwitchfriday If you're a Witch that has an issue with electronics and your car. Hagstones cut down on these issues. They act like a filter for bad energy. Put in a window they protect from hexs, around where you sleep they cut down on bad dreams and haunts.
