I‘m so over the moon about this article right now! It‘s about the wildness of girlhood, ancient rituals, playing in the woods, art, magic, & poetry. All of the literary references could‘ve come straight from my bookshelves. God, it‘s good. 💀💖😭

Lizpixie I was one of those wild little girls, climbing trees & catching tadpoles with mud between my toes was my favourite things to do then. Arktoi forever! #wildgirlsunite 5y
tammysue A fabulous article, thanks for posting! 5y
monalyisha @Lizpixie I built forts in the woods, whittled & painted sticks & rocks, stole kitchen items from my friend‘s mom & tried to summon the fairies with sugar & spices. But I‘ve never climbed a tree! Ever! #regrets #goals Maybe it has something to do with being a Capricorn? 🤷♀️ #earthsign 5y

Lizpixie @monalyisha you‘ve never climbed a tree?!? Oh man, you have missed out. I spent a lot of my childhood either in the paperbark tree in our backyard with a book or climbing trees at assorted picnic grounds around our part of NSW. There are some epic climbing trees at Warragamba Dams picnic grounds!🌳 5y
Cheshirecat913 Enjoyed the article and I was definitely out there mixing berries and mud, climbing trees and coming back with stickers in my hair. I enjoy watching my own daughter make up stories in her mind...I need to get her and myself out in the woods more often. 5y
