I have truly wanted to be writing. I really enjoy sharing my practice. So the last thing I promised to write about was about the Lizard Legs. I am still working on them. I will be making 2 talisman and will most likely put them up on Etsy. I really enjoy crafting and I seem to have found a niche with bones. I have am experimenting with henna and bones too, but that juicy goodness will have to wait! So back to the lizard legs. Thor has been a busy evil cat. He finally got the big daddy lizard. It was too late when I found him I was so sad to see such a beautiful creature lifeless like that but such is the cycle of life. I removed the legs from the lifeless body as I would bird wings when I find them passed as well. Into the Witches oven they went the reptilian scent mixed with patchouli filled the air, they came out fantastic, dried and preserved.<\/p>\n<table class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1014\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/750\/2012\/09\/FrogsLegs-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"FrogsLegs\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Lizard Legs<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In other news I will be writing 2 columns for Bell Spirit Magazine, one on the Artist spot light, as well as my own personal column. I am currently working on my own piece of art called \u201cPoison\u201d inspired by the Art of Mucha (Art Nouveau) and Baneful herbs. She will be released when she is finished but it will be a few weeks still. I recently returned home from a henna conference that weekend was the most amazing I have ever had. Not only did I learn so much, but I the people were just simply amazing. After having a run in with the psychotic henna artist from Washington it was sheer delight to have a wonderful peaceful and supportive weekend from so many talented artists. It really made me see the potential that can be achieve with more practice and dedication. My favorite class was on the Moroccan Henna. They spoke of henna being used for protection, and for marking life transitions (hint hint wink wink about the bones) My very first henna teacher Dan of Vortex art in Japan was just published in a book of Japaneese Henna artists and I can\u2019t wait to see her work. Though it is in Japanese I can still appreciate the photos of her work. I am so blessed to have been her student!<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1015\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/750\/2012\/09\/Mehindi16-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Mehindi16\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Recent Henna design I did<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The past month was one of pure chaos. My husband lost his job, and usually this would be a crisis but it was the best thing that has ever happened to him. I will have to fill you in on more of that later. It seemed like one thing after another, barely any time to think, or do much of anything. I am not going to dwell in the negative of these things as it serves no purpose. It was a hard month full of emotionally twisting things and I am glad it is in the past.<\/p>\n<p>My Coven has been so supportive, I am truly blessed to have such wonderful friends, and students. They have all been so supportive and I am so proud to say that they are part of my life. One student brought me to a local crystal store Star Women Crystals. If you are local you must go! I picked up a wonderful piece of Kunzite that will be paired with a quartz crystal and a badger bone. Another student and I are headed out on Thursday to go hunt for Choya. Lastly I received a box of bones this month filled to the brim with wonderful pieces of bone perfect for crafting ritual tools.<\/p>\n<p>So that is the update, I have started an Ayurvedic cleanse that I will be telling more about in a later blog. I am headed out to plant some strawberries and black holly hocks!<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" href=\"http:\/\/wp.production.patheos.com\/blogs\/waterwitch\/files\/static\/5762c6e7d2b85737cd643168\/t\/57630d442109d36c221bd40d\/1466109621669\/img.jpg.com\/static\/5762c6e7d2b85737cd643168\/t\/57630d442109d36c221bd40d\/1466109252080\/1000w\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\"><br>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/750\/static\/5762c6e7d2b85737cd643168\/t\/57630d442109d36c221bd410\/1466109621974\/img.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My goodness it has been so long since I have really sat down and blogged.
