Close-up of the fifteen #EmergentStrategy-themed #pomegranate #SurpriseBalls that went out in my #yuletide #patreonrewards art medicine boxes. I’d love to send one (maybe octopus instead of pomegranate?!) to @adriennemareebrown if anyone has a mailing address! https://www.instagram.com/p/B6vzOgNgbon/?igshid=p1vf4qf74ouv

Here's a small selection of what went out in this #WinterSolstice Patreon Rewards box!⁣ ⁣ • Pomegranate #EmergentStrategy-themed #surpriseballs! ⁣ ⁣ I made a little game out of this: as you unwrap the balls to reveal the goodies inside, check the Principles of Emergent Strategy card and try to guess which principle each piece represents! ⁣ ⁣ Credit = @adriennemareebrown⁣ ⁣ Persephone ate three pomegranate seeds in the underworld and this bound her to the cycles of nature, of death and rebirth. ⁣ ⁣ • #Ecoprint with #rosemaling #kurbitz, a Scandinavian folk-art painting style, finished with mineral pigment watercolors.⁣ ⁣ • Cranberries fermented with Doug Fir in local organic raw honey. ⁣ ⁣ Bonus: each berry had to be stabbed with a fork for the honey to penetrate. As I did so, I said a prayer for the death of harmful paradigms and systems: "Death to Patriarchy, Death to the State." 🙂⁣ ⁣ • Homemade cannabis #CBD rub. From my dear friend @sukihealingarts Suki Ciappara >>> sukihealingarts.com.⁣ ⁣ • A cozy house kit: boil the contents of these little paper homes for tea or just to cleanse your space with natural fragrance.⁣ ⁣ • Moon + Star Ornaments.⁣ ⁣ ∙ Cut paper snowflakes, houses, trees.⁣ ⁣ Not pictured:⁣ ⁣ • Burn kit for blessings in 2020.⁣ ⁣ • Moon cards: Moon phases remind us that the only constant is change. That it’s ok to sometimes shine and sometimes hide. That you don’t have to be perfect to be whole.⁣ ⁣ • A selection of prints.⁣ ⁣ • #Lebkuchen with ginger and Doug Fir needle glaze - a German take on gingerbread. ⁣ ⁣ • Balsam fir + citrus bath salts.⁣ ⁣ May these gifts be a blessing to you and your family as the days finally become longer once again.⁣ ⁣ You are LOVED.⁣ You are a BLESSING.⁣ You are SACRED.⁣ You have DIGNITY.⁣ You have WISDOM⁣ and GIFTS for the WHOLE.⁣ https://www.instagram.com/p/B6lvY9hABWc/?igshid=1x9uqt85j5vtx

I learned 12 Rolling Stones songs in 12 days and finished 12 #patreonrewards art medicine boxes during the 12 days of #Yule and in the middle of all that I also managed to make three custom #pomegranate #surpriseballs for three lucky girls who will unwrap them to find small treasures from @cargoinc, prompts and affirmations and solstice spells. . May we embody the hope and joy our ancestors wished for us. May we live into their dreams of liberation. May we do better as we know better. May we rise up and work to be resilient, so the new world will be born. Happy Solstice, friends 🍄 https://www.instagram.com/p/BrqP0o5jOzd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kj1nc2tf2ir8
