Enraptured by these rainy spring mornings, when the forest is slowly waking up. Everything feels nourished and alive. Through all the busy, it’s a reminder to be gentle with myself. The birds aren’t as active and there’s a deep sensual silence as new life brews within Earth’s belly below.. 🌿 🌲April 1 is my first release of the year and largest to date! I can hardly wait to share the new offerings I’ve conjured up, as well as restocks you’ve all been waiting for. 🌲Today is the last day to order before the release! Tomorrow my website will be closed down for the week leading up to my release so I can count inventory and make new listings. A preview will be up the day before. 🌲You can sign up to my newsletter for 10% off your first purchase and early access to my release! Link in bio. I hope you’re all transitioning into spring nicely, and that my offerings can help support you body & spirit in the process.. 😌 Stay tuned this week as I’ll be sharing the new offerings for April 1 🖤 . . . . #midgaarb #plantmagic #harvesting #wildcraft #herbalism #cyclicalnature #wildcrafting #moontime #wildwoman #wisewoman #cyclicalliving #wildcrafted #paganism #springplants #folklore #tincture #herbalskincare #sacredwomb #thecyclewithin #pnw #pacificnorthwest #sombrescapes #plantmedicine #pagan #pagansofinstagram #witchesofinstagram #norsemythology #witchcraft #paganpride #herbalist (at Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbfurA2JstL/?utm_medium=tumblr

Life in the African worldview is not a linear trajectory from A to B, but rather a cyclical dynamic that is eternal and repetitive - what was before comes back again and again! So in doing for those on whose shoulders we stand, those who come after also do for us - and the cycle continues...

Surrendering my mind and soul to these soaking, misting and growing green days. . . The ethereal rains trickle softly through the sprouting leaves, as my body surrenders, sinking deep down into the drenching earth. I’m engulfed by the sweet nourishing scent of wet moss marinating in the soupy soils. . . Bright green allies growing and glowing bravely out from the earths big brew of water and dirt, Fog warping and wefting as it weaves it’s way up through the ferns, caressing and curling around the giant conifers reaching up high into an endless, elusive grey-white cocoon .. . . Moisture gently trickles down from the mystic mist shield, gliding along the ivy as it glistens and glows .. . . The energy of the earth seeps up into me as I surrender my spirit up into the sky. Shadow figures shapeshifting through the still, darkening dense sea of mist as the night grows cold and black. . . My consciousness, my whole being, transforming, transcending, as the spirits surrounding me whisper and swirl. Safe and secure as I surrender, to her light and her dark. . . Here, I heal. Here, I am one with all that is. My deepest worship is of Water & Earth. . . ~ Snapped this photo last night, before meditating nestled between the ferns. Wanted to share some of my experience I had as I laid upon her. I’m so grateful to have this forest surrounding my home. Was indeed a beautiful spring night to worship ↟ . . . . #midgaarb #oldgods #herbalism #hedgewitch #cyclicalnature ##wildwoman #wisewoman #cyclicalliving #paganism #slavic #vikinggarb #folklore #divine_forest #moody_nature #vikings #heathen #trees_of_darkness #vikingmetal #pagan #pagansofinstagram #norsemythology #sombrescapes #witchcraft #doommetal #moodnation #paganpride #lotr #blackmetal #sombresociety #moody_captures (at Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwKtVnbnqWH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hqjv4b0yy3fc

Stop, listen and meditate to the sound of nourishing spring rains 🌿🌧 . . The rains here are abundant and endless, making the world around me soo green and lush! Every day that goes by I remember why I moved here. Lately I have alternating between sewing new items for my shop, one that I will be launching tomorrow! Cuddling inside listening to the rain as I study my herbalism books & stroll through my yard meeting all the new ladies that are sprouting up from the ground. . . Within this week there’s already an endless sea of edible weeds: cleavers, chickweed, plantain, dock, dandelion, bittercress, lamb’s quarters, garlic mustard and much more! . . Did you know that “weeds” that are typically yanked out of the ground and throw away, are actually more nourishing and even more delicious then the lettuces you buy at the grocery store? It really is a tragedy that in school we aren’t teaching our children to learn about and harvest this free nutrition. Instead we teach to spray them with toxic chemicals, throw them away, go to the grocery store and pay a ridiculous amount of money to buy old lettuce that has been shipped from place to place to get there, and contains much less nutritional value.... 🤯 . . I am excited to watch my garden come to life, eat the weeds and watch what else springs to life, as the rain continues to pour down. I have been eating these ladies in my dinners and going to be making some medicine from them soon. . . What’s all growing around you? Do you have a garden? Are you just as inspired as I am to eat the weeds and meet all the new plant allies? . . Also, NEW LISTING is coming tomorrow! I am excited to release something new to my shop, while I have been behind the scenes planning changes in my color palette and working on bringing ideas to life. Stay tuned!↟ . . . . #midgaarb #eattheweeds #oldgods #herbalism #hedgewitch #cyclicalnature #wildwoman #wisewoman #cyclicalliving #paganism #plantallies #vikinggarb #folklore #divine_forest #moody_nature #vikings #tradition #ancestorwisdom #pagan #pagansofinstagram #norsemythology #vikingsofinstagram #witchcraft #doommetal #moodnation #paganpride #lotr #organicfarming #springrain #moody_captures (at Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwC26wOn--n/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qjb1qrvzeqlr

It was many ages before the earth was shaped that the Mist World Niflheimr was made .. . . Beneath lies Hvergelmir, the seething cauldron of waters that unleash a torrent of underworld rivers, in which all the rivers in the world spring from. In the underworld lives the giant serpent Nidhogg, gnawing at one of the roots of the mighty World Tree .. . . As the world tree Yggdrasil started to grow, it stretched one of its three large roots far into Niflheim and drew water from the spring Hvergelmir .. . . Niflheim ~ the Mist World, Hel, the dark wet Roots, Ginnungagap ~ it is the beginning of life. We emerge from this place of darkness, the womb. Life coming from death, rebirth. The serpent, the cyclical nature, within this darkness the mighty roots spring up and into life. Our World Tree with its roots firm and deep into the womb bravely, strongly blossoming up towards the gods ~ Asgard. . . As we slowly shift towards the coming spring ahead, the world rebirthing from the cold dark source, from the wet womb of our Mother Winter. We remain rooted deep, but with ease, slowly, bravely, we push forward up towards the light. Life, death, rebirth, Life emerges, once more.↟ . . . . . . #midgaarb #oldgods #Niflheim #Asgard #rebirth #wildwoman #cyclicalliving #springtime #vinter #paganism #Yggdrasil #vikinggarb #folklore #divine_forest #moody_nature #vikings #heathen #vikingmetal #pagan #pagansofinstagram #norsemythology #sombrescapes #vikingpride #doommetal #moodnation #paganpride #lotr #blackmetal #sombresociety #moody_captures (at Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuWiHPpHCpu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ssh0wc2u1k8s

New Moon • Hecate • the Strength Within. . . Last Month During the New Moon I came to you, in the dark of the night, broken and bare. I cried to you, begged for guidance on finding the way out, asked for a spell to be lifted off from me, for the dark shadows to leave me. I set out my intentions to take back my power. To be freed from burdens of body, mind and spirit, freed from the demons within and the demons within others that were keeping me enslaved. I asked to be filled with patience and peace and comfort and safety. I asked you, Moon Goddess, to infuse me with your strength as I knew closing this chapter and embarking on the next would require a lot of it. I sat on the cold wet ground, and as my moontime flowed out from me, tears streamed down my face, with shaky breath but my unwavering trust in your powers consumed me. . . This month At the dark of the moon I gathered with a bunch of witches and through long dedicated ritual we called upon you, Hecate. You whom at the perfect times always come to remind me that all the answers I seek are within You came to remind me that I am the holder of my key. The breaker of the spells that are casted over me The breaker of spells that bind me from within. . . You reminded me I chose my path at the crossroads and I hold my strength The path I now chose is the path that is me, and the evidence of my freedom will keep revealing itself The burdens that have been plaguing my body are finding its way towards healing. Just as the seedlings inside the earth ~ through the darkness I am rising up towards the light. The dark shadows are dissipating and My body and inner being moves more freely with the rhythmic nature of the trees As my moontime flows with the rhythmic nature of you, I am infused with your power My inner strength hasn’t be restored, but reminded, re-awakened. . . Through your guidance and inspired strength Hecate, today I can say that I CHOSE to no longer be enslaved. . . . . #internationalwomensday #midgaarb #hecate #oldgods #earthmagic #newmoon #trees_of_darkness_ #paganpride #cyclicalliving (at Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuwPx8VHEdj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1n5zmks3dwjbz

After: Restoring a @barbie spiral perm is tough enough, but this little lady had gum in her hair as well. Also some unknown sticky thing too which I won’t think on anymore. But after a wash and set (and boiling water and a micro needle comb) - she’s gonna be perfect! #barbie #restoration #dollmaker #dollhospital #cyclicalliving #cyclicalbusiness #toyhospital #montreal @mattel (at Guillotine Fibre Arts & Restoration) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcdNYMSrnEg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
