Much of the evil in this world is due to the fact that man, in general, is hopelessly unconscious.~CG Jung, 𝘔𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘯 𝘔𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘚𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘚𝘰𝘶

I don't think the physical Universe is a "prison" for our Souls: I think it's more like a Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.

It seems I've mailed to all backers who did the survey, so I can now ‼️ sell The Balsam Lake Unmurders 🌱 to you & others who missed the Kickstarter. Check it out. It's the immersive journaling game of trying to catch a necromancer in a forested Minnesota town sites.google.com/view/the-bal... #ttrpg

Art journal pages for June. This month tastes like mulberries and sweat.

"Neither the pure Atman (Self) alone, which is identical to Brahman, nor the little self (the ego) alone will do in the manifest world. At any level, a combination of the two in right relationship is needed. - #RaviRavindra

Beltane season blessings, all! I had a wonderful gathering with friends and fire. I hope you get a chance to mark the season in your own special way. #witchsky

Now I begin to feel that all that is important comes in quietness and waiting; and that activity should be only the working out, the digesting and putting forth of what one learned, so that one may become empty again to receive more. - #RodneyCollin

I made this magnolia flower syrup for a Beltane party next week. It was a wonderful way to capture a fleeting moment of early spring.

Happy Easter to those who celebrate and blessed season of growth and rebirth to all! Pictured below is my seasonal altar, a leafing willow, and a fallen willow branch.

What my spiritual practice actually looks like

The Pine tree has been used medicinally for thousands of years. Its ability to aid respiratory function is long documented, it’s good for skin infections, and even reduces inflammation. A tea of Pine needles is a powerful cold treatment, you can add other beneficial herbs, too!

Hudson Valley snowdrops! I didn’t see these anywhere my first year up here so it was a real treat to see them poking up on my walk yesterday. The community I am weaving here is made of both human and more-than-human beings. 🤍

Flowers are a gift of beauty from the Earth. Each one a tiny miracle.

I have 6 advance copies of The Balsam Lake Unmurders than I need for other reasons. So how about a fun giveaway: 📸 Take and caption a photo of yourself like you're Dale Cooper driving into Balsam Lake 🍂 Post it tagged #BalsamLake I'll pick winners randomly. You'll have the game before anyone else!

Happy spring! 💜

A page from my art journal. I’ve been waiting to use this Pan sculpture in a piece for a while. Text reads: Something is developing a graceful death We are part of the same body Nothing is fixed, change is constant.

My friend @paulczege.bsky.social and I just completed an exercise where we came up with our own lists of seven deadly sins. Mine was: 1. Cowardice 2. Supremacy 3. Wealth 4. Rashness 5. Duplicity 6. Vindictiveness 7. Complacency What would yours be?

Views from a late winter walk. There is a sweetness to this time of year, and a sense of anticipation. There are whispers of spring in the thawing ice.

I experimented with a new technique today: gel plate monoprinting. My pieces are on the left (I couldn’t resist mixing in some collage), and my friend’s are on the right.

Pisces season marks the end of my yearlong exploration of the zodiac and seasonal correspondences. You can catch up at Traveling the Wheel: travelingthewheel.substack.com #occultsky #astrosky #witchsky

There are small worlds waiting for us everywhere if we stop to notice them.

This piece is called “Care.” I made it at a workshop I led at the Hudson Valley Seed Company. To me it represents the love and healing that the natural world holds for all of us.

Without downloading any new pictures, where are you mentally

In this month’s installment of Traveling the Wheel I reflect on different models of Aquarian medicine making and the ways we can offer our unique gifts to the world. travelingthewheel.substack.com/p/aquarius-s... #astrosky #occultsky

Flour not finely ground enough? Mill issue

Sometimes when the world is on fire all you can so is make art. This piece is entitled “Omni”.

New art journal pages. I am guided by color and emotion when I do this work, pulling together images intuitively. These pages are about attention and tenderness.

I finished this two part piece just in time for the New Year. I call it “Life/Death.” #artsky

The partially frozen Rondout creek behind my house. I’m grateful for this beautiful winter morning.

This is one of my weirder collages, but it should make a little more sense if you read the piece that I wrote to accompany it. For Capricorn season I explore themes of creation, foundation, and light in the darkness. travelingthewheel.substack.com/p/capricorn-... #astrosky #occultsky #witchsky

We are all meant to be mothers of God, for God is always needing to be born. - #MeisterEckhart

The meanings of the word for a wren, from eight different languages... 8. Little walnut (Bulgarian) 7. Little bird in the ditch (Japanese) 6. Thumbling (Finnish) 5. Fence-skedaddler (Danish) 4. Fence-master (Hebrew) 3. Druid bird (Irish) 2. Mouse-brother (Faroese) 1. Little king of winter (Dutch)

I set an intention a while back to develop a relationship with my rage. This morning I took a step into that work and ended up writing a poem about it.

Today I finished a bookbinding class at the Woodstock library. This was a wonderful opportunity to learn how to craft one of my absolute favorite objects. Now I just have to decide what to write in it…

It’s Sagittarius season. 🔥♐️ In my recent post for Traveling the Wheel I explore the destructive and transformative power of fire, and follow a Sagittarian journey through myth and ritual. travelingthewheel.substack.com/p/sagittariu... #witchsky #occultsky #astrosky

10 Shows to get to know me: 1. The Rehearsal 2. Midnight Gospel 3. White Lotus 4. Fantasmas 5. The Twilight Zone 6. Interview with the Vampire 7. Scavenger’s Reign 8. Severance 9. The Great British Bake Off 10. Wishbone

...I remembered really liking it and so I found it, and yes, when I read it again I really liked it. It's called Walk On Water, and I'd made it as an image. So when I found it I sent it to my friend @gabriellerab.bsky.social, who I thought might like seeing it. She replied by starting us...

In this month’s issue of Traveling the Wheel we dive deep. Join me as we welcome the scorpion’s sting and cross the threshold into the underworld. We have the support of our beloved dead and allies in the more than human world. travelingthewheel.substack.com/p/scorpio-se... #occultsky #astrosky
