"They don’t confront us like mountains, comfort us like oceans, or envelop us like forests; they don’t seem to want to have anything to do with us at all. Swamps hide. Swamps demur." —Ashley Stimpson on why swamps deserve our love.

Thank you to the Conservation Fund for saving Georgia's beloved TREASURE: The Okefenokee Swamp. I cannot express my heartfelt thanks enough. Next fight - having the Okefenokee declared UNESCO status. (Many rabid locals fighting against this btw!) #OkefenokeeSwamp #Georgia #WitchSky

Known for its ethereal song & the ability to sing in two voices simultaneously, the Wood Thrush is more often heard than seen in the Okefenokee Swamp. Hearing a "Swamp Angel" sing its beautiful song near your house is said to be very good luck. (1 of 2) #SwampSunday #OkefenokeeSwamp #FolkWitch

An entry from Francis Harper's "Okefinokee Album", mentions the Chesser family of swampers. I find their remedy for stopping a screech owl from scaring you quite intriguing! The index finger is often associated with Jupiter, and authority/confidence/power. #SwampSunday #OkefenokeeSwamp #FolkWitch

Cunning Folk look to nature for knowledge of healing, hexing, and how to live in harmony with the Land. There is much to be learned from the Song of the Okefenokee, as sung by the prevalent frog species there. #SwampSunday #OkefenokeeSwamp #WitchSky #FolkWitch (1 of 2 - recording in second post!)

The people of the Okefenokee Swamp had a tradition of "hollering". Like a yodel, these songs/sounds were a way of communicating at a distance. Frances Harper recorded Tom Chesser back in 1944 demonstrating hollering. #SwampSunday #OkefenokeeSwamp (1 of 3)

Wonderful lore from the Okefenokee Swamp was collected by naturalist Francis Harper in his book "Okefinokee album". He visited our area repeatedly between 1912-1951. Love magic is a cornerstone of southern conjure!#SwampSunday #SwampSunday #OkefenokeeSwamp #FolkWitch #WitchSky #Conjure

I'd love to know what this sounded like! Okefenokee Swampers: "Hoot of the Deer Owl: deep booming sound used as a distress signal when anyone was lost or hurt. It would carry for miles effectively bring help." Dictionary of American Folklore, 1959 #SwampSunday #OkefenokeeSwamp

Sweet is the swamp with its secrets, Until we meet a snake; 'Tis then we sigh for houses, And our departure take At that enthralling gallop That only childhood knows. A snake is summer's treason, And guile is where it goes. by Emily Dickinson #OkefenokeeSwamp #FolkWitch
