I was reading book with my toddler about feelings and how we can assign colors to feelings. He then said: "I'm feeling happy. It's gray." I will never see gray the same way again. In that moment it changed for me forever. #grey #gray
Talking about #blue. Have you seen the Madame Desiderium?

White toddler hands repainting themselves blue.
If your hands are dirty, paint them. Nobody will see the dirt. - wisdom from the 4yo. It works.

The stupidest thing about my sleep paralysis is that my eyes remain closed and I don't get to hallucinate monsters. I can't breathe when that happens and it's scary. If I have to go through this anyways, I would love to see a creature on my chest, a damn ghost. I guess you can't have it all.
Yes, I hope so too.
Definitely, you're right. It's just that I didn't see much of it previously.
Yes, I'm aware of Christian witches. I was just wondering why so many previously non-Christian witches are starting to talk about Jesus, women who were into female empowerment, against religious oppression etc. I see your point. It's terrible calling yourself a witch is dangerous in this century.
Let's assume the old one got deconstructed and now you've got a new wood fired stove in the heart of your home. Folklore says gnomes use woodfired stoves to sleep in and move through them. How would you honour/invite them? #folklore #mythology #WitchSky #PaganSky #hearth #gnomes #FireSpirit
Ooh, that didn't cross my mind. Right, right... it's getting worse.
I lately see many witchy girlies online telling they are "suddenly called to Jesus". It's spreading. Is that American Christian propaganda ar work or it's been something always in them and they now are feeling brave enough to express it? What is this? What's going on? #WitchSky #OccultSky #PaganSky
Let's assume you are getting ready to make pickles for winter season. What's on your playlist? π€ #music #playlist #pickles

One of a kind plaster wall plaques (made with water and gypsum powder), set out to dry before I can move to polishing up the relief of pressed plants & faces of spirits of nature, and painting them. White on the background of green grass.

I'm working on a small collection of wall plaques. Moon Garden. Maybe 'Night With the Fae'? I'm still looking for the title that would suit them all together and each one separately. Any ideas? Any thoughts, feelings or associations looking at these? #MoonGarden #PlantArt #ArtSky #WitchSky #wip
Exactly!
The perfectly white, gorgeously spooky White Plum Moth (pterophorus pentadactyla) sitting on agreen zuccini leaf.
Also, I just met this aetheric creature and, omg, it's White Plume Moth and the caterpillars overwinter and feed on bindweed! My perspective on bindweed in my garden has been changed forever. #moth #WhiteMoth #bindweed #WitchSky #spooky #beauty #permaculturegarden #puremagic #permaculture
A man with a huge smoking stick of dried birch (twigs with leaves) surrounding him in smoke to repel mosquitoes.
My husband has the biggest smudge stick in town. The only way to escape the hungry mosquitoes we have exceptional amounts of this year. It's been raining since mid-May. #smudge #smudgestick #smoke #mosquitoes #odi #laukos #laukudzΔ«ve #countrysidelife
Messy kitchen table with gorgeus flowers from my garden. I picked them on morning to bring them to my mom later. Other random things in the picture: coffee, fallen flowers, seed packets, kids' microscope, floating tea pot and the rest around.
Peace and beauty in chaos. In picture. IRL it feels more like chaos than anything else. And it is. I couldn't create such setup even if I wanted to. #stilllife #bloomscrolling #gardenflowers #flowers #peaceandbeauty #kitchen #countrysidelife #irl #kitchentable
A pink blooming valerian plant , it's stalk covered in black aphids and amber colored ants taking care of their "farm animals".
Ants farmimg aphids. Look it up. Or maybe don't. They sedate them, eat their wings & take care of all their needs, even carry them from plant to plant, so they don't have to move. It's natural, and it rises multiple conflicts in me at once. #natural #ants #farming #aphids #justnature
Simplicity at it's finest π
Gorgeous drawings! π
I'm just a stupid gardener who likes to learn from plants. And I might draw wrong conclusions sometimes, but this queer flower asked me to pass the message right now.
