Wintering and Three Poems

Hi lovely soul,

And so, the wheel turns, and winter is nearly upon us. Much like my own purging, the trees have shed their leaves, exposing their bare skeletons. Instead of my usual cocooning that occurs this time of year, I feel stripped raw. I’m searching for my swan feathers, my sealskin. (One of the poems I have shared with my paid subscribers is about this very thing)

Ink-Stained Compass is the weekly newsletter of poet and witch Caitlin Gemmell for seekers of stories and magic. Two newsletters per month are always free from the paywall. This one is for paid subscribers who receive poems, more private journal entries, free downloads (such as journal pages with prompts), and access to the Ink-Stained Compass community via chat. The next free newsletter is a Muse Monday feature, which is headed to your inbox on 11/24!
