A comic strip where a man makes fun of being scared of “sparkly fairies” but then finds out the hard -& fatal way - that Irish fairies are not to be messed with

A fresh start doesn't always need smoke.
Sometimes it's an open window, the sound of a bell, or simply taking a moment to welcome in the kind of home you want to create.
Small rituals have a way of changing how a space feels.

1/2 Don’t miss Bristol’s Jack in the Green tomorrow (Sat 2 May)
He appears just once a year, welcoming summer with a wild, music-filled procession from the Harbourside to Horfield. A Bristol tradition well worth seeing in person.
Go and find him

In ancient China, the desire for a son gave rise to rituals both intimate and uncanny.
One custom called for a woman, less than three months pregnant, to dress in her husband’s clothes and hat before dawn. She would circle a well three times counterclockwise, 1/2

They brought an entire goat they’d gotten from a farm in the Inland Empire, iced in a trunk for 6 hours on the drive up.
An animal sacrifice, a journey to a communal gathering, eggs died red. I wonder if they knew the ancestral joy sharing our culture gave to those who came before. #folktraditions

I have done this before. It was a lot of fun and they turned out really great, but it was a bit of a waste of food. I would also try mulberries and pokeberries. You need vinegar to set pokeberry in textiles. I wonder if that is true for eggs. #easter #folktraditions #pokeberries

If you are thinking of doing some traditional egg decorating this Easter, I’d love to see the results. Tag me in your egg posts!

Here’s a hand guide I came across for natural ways to dye eggs
Lots of coloured eggs and the ingredients that dyed them
