“Seer” from the Witch Essence series. 8×10″ mixed media on birch panel – I would say this has been the most popular pieces out of the series (though each piece definitely has fans), and it’s probably one of my favorites as well. This piece pays homage to the element of air + inner sight.

“Blood gave Lóðurr,
And goodly hue,”
a Southern Gothic playlist for Loki.
———
I won’t go on too long in this introduction, but making this weighs heavy on my heart and I truly hope all of you who see this find love & comfort within. The theme is Southern Gothic.. for reasons.. but there is some current country and other on theme assortments as well. For reasons. And For Loki. Always for Loki.

palmistry placements that may indicate certain natural traits or abilities related to witchcraft.
the mystic cross. “x” shaped cross located between the head and heart lines. indicates that spirituality, witch’s intuition, and acknowledgement of power or ability were understood at a very young age.
the psychic cross. “x” shaped cross located beneath:
the index finger: blessings from jupiter/zeus. wisdom, and a great capacity for knowledge. often destined to teach or impart.
the middle finger: blessings from saturn/cronus. intuition, and a great capacity for visceral power. often has natural ability working in dreams and meditations.
the ring finger: blessings from sun/apollo. attraction, and a great ability to naturally draw in your needs and desires. often powerful with enchantments.
the little finger: blessings from mercury/hermes. instinct, and a great natural ability for practice. often adopts new methods with ease and natural talent.
the psychic triangle. triangular shape located beneath the ring finger. indicates that in this life, or another, you have chosen to suppress your abilities. they are likely powerful, but potentially caused harm- intentionally, or not. (this does not mean they are unreachable, it more likely encourages you to work very consciously.)
the healer’s mark. a series of parallel lines located beneath the little finger. indicates powerful healing abilities; the more lines, the greater the gift.
the traveller’s mark. a series of parallel lines located beneath the mount of the moon. indicates that there is an innate talent and drive in travelling both the physical and the astral planes. a natural ability for astral projection; the more lines, the greater the gift.
open windows and let the sunlight in. the sun is an essential source of vitamin d, which strengthens your bones. it increases serotonin levels, balances your circadian rhythm, and is a powerful resource of energy and warmth. let the daylight motivate you!
burn candles, incense, or run a diffuser in the morning. making your space smell nice is a great way to boost your mood (however, be careful of certain oils used in diffusers, they can be harmful to pets!).
make your own natural cleaning products. two cups of water, ½ cup of white vinegar, 1 tbsp of unscented dish soap, 1 tbsp baking soda, and a couple drops of your fav essential oil for scent… tada! all purpose natural cleaner!
put crystals in the soil of your potted plants to encourage healthy growth (i’ve found clear quartz, malachite, and pyrite are good for this).
sprinkle a little baking soda + essential oils on the carpet before you vacuum, and chant your intentions as you do. deodorize your carpet and suck up bad vibes at the same time.
hang witch bells above the front and back doors. this works as a ward against evil/negative energy, and also functions as a low cost security system.
keep your space clean! it can be hard to stay on top of sometimes, but if you find yourself with a spare 30 minutes, use it to tidy up. your home is a reflection of your soul and your energy, and too much clutter can be both physically and mentally draining.
talk out loud. whistle. sing. this may sound silly, but let your home hear you. imagine your youness sinking into the walls. make your space fall in love with you, and do it in return.
count your blessings, no matter how small. it’s easy to think of all the things we don’t have and to forget about the things we do. whether it’s your own bedroom, an internet connection, a cute statue, a book, a crystal, access to food and clean water, try to take stock of the things that make your life good and comfortable.
