The Old Wooden Art Table

I thought you might be interested in my process for making magickal art! For the Justice piece that I’m collaborating with @mintfaery on, (she modeled and is collabing with the creative vision and fundraising campaign) she and I discussed a list of herbs to include. I brewed them, while focusing on my intention and the attributes of each herb that I wanted to activate. I strained them through a coffee filter, and this enchanted brew is the water that is used to paint the watercolor background of the art piece. This art will be available as t-shirts to raise money for @theokraproject I didn’t include okra in the wash because it wouldn’t react well with the watercolor, but okra will be featured as an element of the art. I’ll share more of the process later on today. https://www.instagram.com/p/CEuSvczHtsI/?igshid=dox7tfadrx6o

I found this beautiful shed snake skin woven in a chain link fence while walking my dog under the moonlight last night. Snakes are often associated with transformation because of the way they shed their old skin as they grow. They don’t enjoy the process, it’s itchy, uncomfortable, and they’re extra sensitive after they have left that husk they don’t need anymore behind. If you find a snake skin it can be used in magick for releasing what doesn’t serve you, to bring growth and changes. Also great for protection, strength, and uncrossing. https://www.instagram.com/p/CEmbAwbHQBH/?igshid=weqej0biq74o

In case you missed it in my stories, I’m working on a new piece of art! I’m collaborating on this piece with the amazing YouTube content creator Mint Faery. @mintfaery she’s the model plus she and I are having t-shirts made over at Custom Ink and all the proceeds for shirts will be donated to @theokraproject . This is the sketch on illustration board, I’m adding masking fluid. Next I’ll paint the background with my magickal infusion and watercolor. When that dries, the mask will be peeled off and then I’ll start to render the rest in colored pencil. Stay tuned for more! . #witch #witchywoman #witcheshelpingtheworld #blacktranslivesmatter #witchesofig #witchery #author #authorsofinstagram #illustrator #illustratorsofinstagram #esoterica #witchythings #paganlife #witchlife #curiosities #witchery #witchythings #witchesofinstagram #witchstyle #pagansofinstagram #wiccansofinstagram #innerpeace #goodvibes #mickiemueller https://www.instagram.com/p/CEkYug9HQ5R/?igshid=4nvk4tpdrwlg

Cecilia Payne, I think we should add her to textbooks, I didn’t know about her either, I’ll remember her now when I look at the stars and contemplate the universe! Thanks @enafae ❝Since her death in 1979, the woman who discovered what the universe is made of has not so much as received a memorial plaque. Her newspaper obituaries do not mention her greatest discovery. […] Every high school student knows that Isaac Newton discovered gravity, that Charles Darwin discovered evolution, and that Albert Einstein discovered the relativity of time. But when it comes to the composition of our universe, the textbooks simply say that the most abundant atom in the universe is hydrogen. And no one ever wonders how we know.❞ — Jeremy Knowles, discussing the complete lack of recognition Cecilia Payne gets, even today, for her revolutionary discovery. (via alliterate) OH WAIT LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT CECILIA PAYNE • Cecilia Payne won a scholarship to Cambridge. • Cecilia Payne completed her studies, but Cambridge wouldn’t give her a degree because she was a woman, so she said to heck with that and moved to the United States to work at Harvard. • Cecilia Payne was the first person ever to earn a Ph.D. in astronomy from Radcliffe College, with what Otto Strauve called “the most brilliant Ph.D. thesis ever written in astronomy.” • Not only did Cecilia Payne discover what the universe is made of, she also discovered what the sun is made of (Henry Norris Russell, a fellow astronomer, is usually given credit for discovering that the sun’s composition is different from the Earth’s, but he came to his conclusions four years later than Payne — after telling her not to publish). • Cecilia Payne is the reason we know basically anything about variable stars (stars whose brightness as seen from earth fluctuates). Literally every other study on variable stars is based on her work. • Cecilia Payne was the first woman to be promoted to full professor from within Harvard and the first woman to head a science department at Harvard. She also inspired entire generations of women to take up science. • Cecilia Payne is awesome and everyone should know her.

Our brand new kitten Grimalkin is blessing my studio today. Lil’ Grim is fitting in purrrfectly in our family.

We had an awesome day celebrating my hubby Dan’s favorite things yesterday for his birthday! Dan, Tristan, Freya, and I swam in the river, had fried chicken for lunch, we all dried off and relaxed back at the house and binged the new episodes of Lucifer. I made him steak for dinner since I couldn’t take him out. Instead of a cake he had a box of glazed doughnuts. It was a really fun day, so good to just relax a bit! @thegothtaku https://www.instagram.com/p/CEZsq3SHAyN/?igshid=eagqkic1j5cw

I’ve got a simple spell that I did in the woods the other day to banish stress, anxiety, worry, and embrace peace. Check out my day in the woods and at the river and learn this easy spell you can do just about anywhere! https://www.instagram.com/p/CEOAFsUHC5o/?igshid=1g6iz54380is8

I created a couple prototypes for eye pillows, they’re soft microfiber, filled with flaxseed and lavender, and are super relaxing to lay down with for naps or meditation. What do you guys think? I’ll probably add a limited number of them on Etsy if people like them. Thoughts? https://www.instagram.com/p/CEKiPwRHCtF/?igshid=wyr87d94vut6

I did an amazing spell at the river today to release stress, anxiety, and worry and manifest peace! I’ll be sharing it with you on YouTube in the next couple days after I go through all the footage and edit! Can’t wait to show you the river and this simple spell that you can do with almost no ingredients and pretty much anywhere in nature! https://www.instagram.com/p/CEFoKntHgnN/?igshid=v37xja2xc7g2

USPS is an important part of my family’s livelihood. My husband and I are online sellers and we rely on the good people of the United States Postal Service to deliver our customers packages affordably. If you enjoy my work, and want to see me continue to offer my products, I’m asking for your help. Many people rely on the post office to deliver medication, checks, Amazon deliveries especially now during the pandemic. Countless rural citizens can’t get delivery from commercial carriers leaving USPS as their only options. Recently, Hart Research and North Star Opinion Research conducted a survey that found that 94% of voters across party lines say that the services the USPS provided is important to them, 64% specify that these services are very important. Trump has made it clear that he wants to undermine the vital mail service of this country. I have a couple easy steps to take, bonus points if you do at least three of the four. . 1. Go buy a sheet of stamps, to show your support and sends a message to Congress. You can even buy them online, and they’ll deliver them right to your door, like they do. Please don’t stop here though, we need more action, see below. . 2. Contact your congressional representative. Your senator or congressperson might already support USPS, even if they do let them know you’re behind them, a quick email or phone call is great, BETTER YET put a letter in an envelope and mail it to them! It doesn’t even have to be eloquent, their offices only count how many responses they get. Use one of those stamps you just bought. Don’t know who your congressional member is, Google it, super easy! . 3. There are lots of petitions out there, please sign them. It’s so easy. . 4. Vote early if you’re using a mail in ballot. Since Trump has already eliminated overtime this will help the USPS by not overwhelming the systematic the last minute. . USPS belongs to you, to the people of the United States, don’t let anyone take it away from us. #savethepostoffice #postoffice #saveusps #dontdefundusps https://www.instagram.com/p/CD6xHW9nUL8/?igshid=13ozkqqqac6ds

"Hekate Einodia, Trioditis [Trivia], lovely dame, of earthly, watery, and celestial frame, sepulchral, in a saffron veil arrayed, pleased with dark ghosts that wander through the shade; Perseis (daughter of Perses), solitary goddess, hail! The world's key-bearer, never doomed to fail; in stags rejoicing, huntress, nightly seen, and drawn by bulls, unconquerable queen; Leader, Nymphe, nurse, on mountains wandering, hear the suppliants who with holy rites thy power revere, and to the herdsman with a favouring mind draw near.” Orphic Hymn 1 to Hecate (trans. Taylor) (Greek hymns C3rd B.C. to 2nd A.D.) #hecate #hecategoddess #hecatesfeast #witch #witchywoman #witchesofig #witchery #occult #illustrator #illustratorsofinstagram #esoterica #paganlife #witchlife #curiosities #witchery #witchythings #witchesofinstagram #witchrealness #instawitch #mickiemueller https://www.instagram.com/p/CD2OrWCntpw/?igshid=1wn21enij5wig
