Always nice to see one of my dream weave portals doing their seasonal work. #solsticeblessings folks. I am in hibernation mode, in a deep cocoon, quietly recharging my soul. Trying to decide what to bring into this world over the next year. Wishing you all a beautiful and love filled festive period. Om https://www.instagram.com/p/CmcyqFqoX_S/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Something quite different, something completely out of my comfort zone, something unknown, something bizarrely connected to future projects. The sea kinda scares me, when I think of ancestors on boats such as these I can't even fathom how they coped with the uncertainty, fear, cramped accommodation, seemingly endless expanse of ocean. I get really seasick on short trips, I can handle sitting in kayaks or small boats on the sea but once I need to stand up it all goes Pete Tong from there. LoL! Anyone know any cure for seasickness? I wish I could manage some boat trips as I do love the sea air and marine creatures. #clipper #adelaide #pyrography #woodburned #woodtattoo #clipperart #commission #boat #boats #sea #seascape #marinemagic https://www.instagram.com/p/CjqNbRyIzeo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's all I could do to finally complete this piece. Having to think of words to explain it all just feels a big ask right now. Hoping the essence is coming through to make up for that. #pyrography #woodtattoo #woodburning #woodburningart #upcycled #repurposed #meditation #sanskrit #gita #bhagavadgita #tree #bodhitree #lochview #scottishhills #contemplate https://www.instagram.com/p/ChwyegqoZ-F/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The #greenwitch is a #naturalist, an #herbalist, a #wisewoman, and a #healer. She embraces the power of nature; she draws #energy from the #Earth and the #Universe; she relies on #natural objects like #stones and #gems to commune with the land she lives off of; she uses #plants, #flowers, oils, and #herbs for #healing; she calls on #nature for #guidance; and she respects every living being no matter how small. - words from Murphy-Hiscock's book The green witch is able to harness the energy of the natural sources around him or her by developing a close #connection with local plants, #trees, and #wildlife as well as with the earth itself." These witches are similar to healing #ancestors such as #druids and #shamans. This #portal #totem was #crafted using #hemp twine, #hazel hoop, #upcycled wood and stone beads, with a #jasper arrowhead. If this piece calls to you please get in touch via DM/PM for direct from creator pricing and can be viewed or bought on Etsy (link in bio).  https://www.instagram.com/p/ChZPqMsgU8U/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🌾Lughnasadh🌾 In the #fields #JohnBarleycorn, who laid with the Lady in the woods at Beltane, has grown old, and now stands bent and bearded with a crocked cane. He looks to the Sun as he has changed from green to gold, and he known that his time has come. His life will feed the people, and it is this #sacrifice that we honour at Lughnasadh. Also known as #Lammas, or #FirstHarvest, the name of this festival as Lughnasadh is #IrishGaelic for “#Commemoration of Lugh”. Some authors give the meaning as marriage, gathering or feast (in the name of) of Lugh. The meaning remains basically the same: Lugh is the #DeityofLughnasadh, and there is a feast. Although #Lugh gives his name to this #festival, it is also associated with Lugh’s foster mother #Tailtiu, who is said to have cleared the way for the introduction of agriculture in #Ireland, thus linking #Lughnasadh to the land and the #harvest. Taken directly from https://druidry.org/druid-way/teaching-and-practice/druid-festivals/lughnasadh This #smudgingfan has #elements of #quartz,#animaltooth #feathers #foraged locally and is not yet uploaded to my etsy, please directly message if this piece resonates for you.

🏹<- ELF-SHOT ->🏹 Ancient belief in elf-shot, otherwise known as elf-arrows and elf-bolts, was common in 17th and 18th century Scotland and Northern England. Since Anglo-Saxon times ‘elf-shot’ have been recorded in manuscripts that make many references to various afflictions suffered by cattle, horses, and humans. The stone arrow heads of the old inhabitants of this island, are supposed to be weapons shot by Fairies at cattle, to which are attributed any disorders they have: in order to effect a cure, the cow is to be touched by an elf-shot, or made to drink the water in which one has been dipped. The fact that there was no trace of a wound on the skin of a animal adds credence to the idea that the internal troubles were due to ingestion of Neolithic blades. Herbivores grazing swollen grass and clover in certain localities probably ingested Neolithic arrow heads which then caused internal injuries and symptoms blamed on elf-shot. Elf-shot afflicted cattle tended to fall over on their horns. They were therefore unable to arise and it was assumed that this was the “…common way in which cows fall when struck by the saighead sithe or fairy arrow.”  My flash sale is over, but for anyone wanting to adopt this piece direct today I will give 15% discount and free shipping within the UK, discount available overseas too, shipping to be discussed.

~~~~The Selkie’s New Skin~~~~~  All words directly taken from #SharonBlackie ’s book #ifwomenrosserooted There is an island to the far west of these lands, close to the end of the world; somewhere in your dreams you’ve seen it. From the cliff-tops on its westernmost shores, you might sometimes catch a glimpse of Tir na mBan, the #IsleofWomen. The island’s beaches are haunted by seals. But then they’re not just ordinary seals: they’re #Selkies. #Selkie tales #resonate strongly with women, for the Selkie’s song is our song. It is a song of yearning – yearning for a part of ourselves that we feel we have lost – or maybe a part that we feel we might once have had, but never knew. How many of us have lost skins to this super-rationalistic world in which we cannot feel at home, in which we cannot feel as if we belong? No matter how furiously we pile on the trappings of the Wasteland, no matter how cleverly we shed our own fragile skins and clothe ourselves in the coarser skins of men which do not fit us, or the thick, traditional female skins which suffocate us, we cannot hide the fact that it does not work. We do not #thrive. Sometime or other, we will know it. Sometime or other, we will break. The Selkie story is the story of a woman who breaks. For one night every month, on the night of the #fullmoon, Selkies can take on human form if they choose, and it is said that on those nights they slip off their sealskins and dance on the beach under the #moonlight. These women personified his love of the sea and her beauty and mystery, and he wanted one of them for his wife. So he crept quietly to the rock and stole one of the sealskins. ‘Seven years,’ he whispered to her. ‘Just seven years.  She was stranded in this place where she could not find a way to belong. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfozqi1IJhd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

*-TANYA*-*Fairy Queen*-*  The origin of the name lies in Russian. The #faeries constantly and unrepentantly steal from us and use our property and possessions, but they will spontaneously grant valuable knowledge and skills or make gifts of #gold. #Fairies were said to have abilities to help humans locate buried treasure, certainly, and access to #ancient hoards might explain the unusual coins that often made up their payments. So there is the ethereal sense combining with ancient #cosmology - where old #votive offerings are rediscovered and the relevance of the #fairyrealm probably has some connection to specific places in the landscape. These #liminal areas, where in modern times have been ascribed as places inhabited by the #faeriefolk is an instinctual nod to #sacred places of prehistory. This #dreamweave has elements of gold, #glass , #jasper ,#hazel and #hemp . She is available to claim now either by Etsy - link in bio - or directly from me by social media messaging (direct = discount on Etsy listing price).  https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfi2mssLr6v/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
