Weavers of ritual~
Walkers of the way,
The old way, that is.

Those that shun AI & tend to delicate hands.
That seep meaning in sap and carve words in wood.
The pulsing heart that sips from the springs.
The tremor of pain as the tree sacrifices her limb.

Remember who you are,
Remember why you came here?
For who will count the rings on your trunk when you are gone?
Who will burry their hands into your dirt
& sing your song?

So when love found me again...
She ravished me deeply.
Deep into every creaves and nook of my entire soul.

With every inch of my body, offerings are made to hers as she who is sacred.
Tears tear through me,
Opening me softly... gentley creasing my tender heart.

Weaving her into my anatomy
Strings binding us together like a tapestry...
With hues of wine red, royal blue, platinum gold, and silver telling the tale of an epic love.

I am a mover, born ready for action. Climbing trees, surfing seas, days spent for hours on the mat finding the map, days spent riding, dancing, singing, playing, rolling, break dancing, skating, breathing. Movement, even in stillness, long holds... stretching. Listening.

I love the yoga I've found at the gym. I spend 50% + of my time stretching- opening, preparing to harmonise the muscles I use not only at the gym, in lifes arena. Realigning my posture to strengthen my body, recover and to heal old injuries, and to love the body, mind, and spirit that I was born with. by @the_craft_of_simba

And so the Gods and the Godesses smiled upon us that day @joybeautylove 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

Wisdom roams and aquires lines like the tree trunk.
March like ants with purpose,
With Credence,
So that I may see,
Through the blindness that took me.
Bee venom, I breathe
The poision has its potion,
Has it's place.
The sting - the sweet nectar.
Honey held the space.
In the comb of home.
Listen to the hymns of the hive.
Listen to the rhythms of nature's cry.
Listen, listen, listen. by @the_craft_of_simba

An ode to my Fylgja ~

Thank you for guiding me.
Thank you for supporting me.
Thank you for your courage.
Thank you for running free, to be with my loved ones when they need you.
Thank you for always coming back to me.
Thank you for bringing Wolfie to me.
Thank you for the gift of imprinting.

A Fylgja is your guiding spirit in Norse spirtual practices. They commonly take the form of an animal or a creature like presence, which is akin to an aspect of yourself. Your Fylgia was with you since you incarnated and often takes on very similar characteristics to your own human expression. My Fylgia visited me in dreams when I was younger, and I can still vividly recall the details of her in my imagination .

As the tides part ways,
And the ocean splayed me
Down upon the sands,
My holy magi moves me
Foward,
Gently,
Kindly.

Touching down yesterday at @standrewsmarket market for the very first time, sharing the love and a few my favourite things 🌹❤️🏹🪽 ✨️

The cycles ever folding into themselves, as this market was where I first encountered a Runester over six years ago, sparking a passion for later working with the Runes; this ancient language and powerful code of universal energy.

Today, having worked with the megin of the runes for many years, I sat, offering their wisdom and held space to meet individuals. Rune Work holds sacred the connection to these ancestral rememberings, to weaving a new path and giving symbology to ones experience and the forces at play.

As much as I hold reverence for the runes' wisdom and their sacred vessels of divination, the kindness of presence, meeting someone through deep listening, holding safety and witnessing, are as powerful tools as any. I look forward to the many markets ahead and crafting tools for those who need them.

A new chapter is unfolding 📖🪽✨️✨️ by @the_craft_of_simba

Purple among the beige 💜

A night well spent connecting, reflecting, drawing & reciting fairy invocations ✨️

Nourishing the roots ~

I’ve been replenishing my creative reservoirs for a beautiful year ahead.
Taking time off to breathe, basking in my accomplishments, and learning how to integrate the changes that putting yourself out into the world brings.

Tending the muses is a dance.
To allow the forces of creativity to be birthed and then to pause—
so those same forces may show you the way.
Gently. In a way that holds you.
That your body can lean into and feel safe within.

I’m looking forward to crafting Runes again in the New Year,
and working on a body of work seeded during this creative downtime.

To reading again 🪽
To learning and growing as an artist of life.

To making art a ritual.
To allowing it to be the expression we all came here for.

Whatever your path is—
expression is the antidote to whatever chaos erupted in your past. by @the_craft_of_simba
