I am salt-hag. The wind that braids my hair I can call upon to bring me word from across the water. Waves that bite my feet fill my scrying pools. A child of the tides, a reader of shells, I shall wear rough salt kisses as omens on my skin. – #EmilyBanting #WitchWednesday https://t.co/Gne28ySJjc

@Steg68 @LadyLiminal1 @DanHerb10 @Toby_Driver1 It would be lovely if true, but no. The Windscale fires were so much part of the public perception of nuclear power and being so actively and effectively used by green groups in anti-nuclear propaganda that the name change came in response.

@Steg68 @LadyLiminal1 @DanHerb10 @Toby_Driver1 Though the name change happened in 1981, it had been mooted earlier and was talked about in 1978 (the year the film was out), but did not happen to a major reorganisation of the site/s and business occurred.

A witch without tools is rare, but magic cannot be mail-ordered nor amplified by prettiness of an object, nor the application of the word artisan. A burning bowl is made sacred by the incense rising from it, blessed by the herbs burnt in it. – #EmilyBanting, 1981 #WitchWednesday

@Stickleback_Pro @dedbutdrmng You don‰Ûªt have to disembowel – messy always equals evidence trail – you just have to know the best places to pierce the body and the best time after killing someone to do it. The ideal piercing tool has to go deep, but should not have an excessive diameter.

@Stickleback_Pro @dedbutdrmng My preference for disposal would be pig farm, but that is not always an accessible route (though more than one organised crime group operating in the UK uses this method).
