Witchcraft, but softer. Stitch by stitch.

My current spinning workspace…

Fiber Magic | Llewellyn Worldwide

I am. It’s turning into quite the endeavor.  About this time last year it occurred to me that it would have been women doing traditional tasks of domestic labor and weaving that originally practiced witchcraft and would have incorporated it into such tasks as spinning, dying, and weaving. There are many goddesses associated with fiber craft. But when I went in search of information for this type of witchcraft I turned up nearly nothing. My frustration with this grew, and seemed to stick with me. And then a friend of mine asked me directly to weave her Handfasting cord. Aghast but honored, I agreed. While I was weaving it at Imbolc, she mentioned to me that she had a ‘knowing’ somehow that this type of magic was a gift of mine. And if I hadn’t already, I should pursue it. She had no idea how much I had attempted to research this very topic. After mentioning it to Tumblr, there was an overwhelming response. So now here I am coming up with a comprehensive outline to a book on the subject, to include historical information and sources on the role of fiber craft and magic in prechristian societies. The research is going to be long and arduous. And I may even need to personally consult some historians on the subject as there is so little out there on the web. But I’ve never been so excited about anything (well other than maybe becoming a witch). 

Never set a witchling loose in a craft store!!

¼ yard black velvet

3 yards white 100% cotton muslin

3 mirrored candle plates

50 feet 1/8 dark brown leather craft lace

geometric terrarium (that’s now holding my crystals with a hexagon of the black velvet on the bottom)

primary color sampler pack of 6-strand 100% cotton embroidery floss

some lil glass bottles w/ stoppers

didnt feel particularly drawn 2 the embroidery thread or fabrics but every book i have lists white cotton cloth and a selection of colors of cotton thread as essential supplies, and i thought the velvet would be good for lining things, so there we gooooo. I’d buy more of the craft lace for doing knotting spells bc i REALLY like the feel and smell and vibe from it but i feel like that’d get expensive in braided ladders, so i need to go back and look at hemp or cotton yarn/cord of a similar size, w/e w/e

im also coming to realize that the drawer or tabletop storage solutions i wanted for my rocks arent as practical as they seemed when it comes to being able to see them out in the open, and selecting one at a glance, so maybe ill get one of those pinteresty geometric shadow box shelves after all. maybe two triangles, one pointing up and one down, 2 match my wrist tats 👀

I have this wonderful 4oz skein of Peruvian Alpaca yarn in ‘Charcoal’ that I’ve been rubbing on my face for a year and ten months. It was a last minute purchase at Rhinebeck Sheep and Wool back in 2013. I saw it in a booth as I was heading back to meet up with my friends and knew I had to have it.

I knew this yarn had something special intended for it but truthfully, I assumed it would be a scarf or hat for yours truly.

That is not what I am using the yarn for. And truthfully, if I have enough yarn left over for a pair of fingerless gloves when this project done I will be surprised.

I know, I know, right now you’re thinking ‘get on with it Erika, you’re rambling again’. Sorry about that!

This lovely yarn is being made into a rune pouch in Odin’s name. A rune pouch that will probably end up getting rubbed all over my face from time to time.

My goal is to have it done in time for ECT.
