Since time immemorial, the new moon has represented new cycles. Traditionally, it was for invocation, planting and building.
In East Canada, the third day was for pruning trees. In North Carolina, it was bad luck to see the new moon first through tree branches #FolkloreThursday

There have been countless stories of sea serpents in the waters around Vancouver Island, since time immemorial. In the last century, nonIndigenous communities have given some of them names. Victoria’s Cadborosaurus or "Caddy" being the best known 🐉

Congrats to our colleague @sheebellax2.bsky.social! Her story “A Gift at the Doorstep” is in The Kindread Coast anthology and pays homage to her Heiltsuk heritage, the Coast Salish land where she gratefully lives, and the shapeshifters who slink between our world and the spirit side.
