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

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.

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

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

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

I managed to finish the Medicine Woman. Perfect guardian for a spice rack, medicine chest, tea shelf, sacred space. www.etsy.com/listing/4323... #MagicalBazaar #WitchSky #witch #healer #MedicineWoman #KitchenWitch

She is a healer, a witch - herbalist - Medicine Woman. She holds mortar and pestle to prepare her medicine grinding the plants to release their scents and powers. She carries medicine jars filled with dried lovage leaves and fenugreek seeds. Her grey hair carries the red of blood and vitality, the yellow of Sun, joy and confidence, the green of nature, healing and love. The wise crone.

She is a 32cm/12.5" tall doll hanging in a transparent nylon thread. Her face, mortar and pestle are hand-sculpted and hand-painted never to be repeated the same. She is made with metal wire, yarn, pre-loved and upcycled fabric and jewellery pieces. You can change the positions of her hands, discard what she carries in her medicine jars and fill them up with whatever you see suitable.

Perfect guardian for the spice rack, medicine chest or tea shelf, great companion in the kitchen. Truly one of a kind witch art doll - Medicine Woman.

To be honest, her choice of herbs in her medicine jars surprised me a bit. I expected sage, maybe nettle, cinnamon, or some flowers. She chose dried lovage leaves and fenugreek seeds. I will sit with that for a moment. #WorkInProgress #DollMaker #DollInProgress #ArtSky #WitchSky #symbolic #esoteric

The first female flower! 😍 But there is no male blooming this time... Each flower is blooming just for a night (opening on evening and gone by midday the next day). That's quite a short window for pollitation. #bottlegourd #lagenaria #birdhousegourd #inmygarden #bloomscrolling #femaleflower

White female flower of bottle gourd plant. Both male and female flowers grow on the same plant.

The female flowers have a bit smaller petals, but already before pollination they have tiny gourd-like bodies like in this pic. If the flower gets pollinated from a male flower blooming at the same time, the female flower grows into bottle gourd, if it doesn't get pollinated, it dies and falls off.
