To spring and rebirth

in

When you don't see the end in sight
The cold breathing down your neck
The fear it is going to over take you
She steps in with grace
She whispers,
"Dear one, just have faith, for you know I always come for you."
She pulls some magic from her sack
With a touch of warmth
A gentleness about her eyes


And you feel your cold toes thawing
Because you could no longer bare the constraints of shoes
You just had to dip your toes in the earth
Just a bit too soon


Ostara, the great mother of Spring
Oh
With the smell of sweet honeysuckle and jasmine
And the wet earth beneath your finger nails
The explosion of blooms and blossoms
The mischief of squirrels in the trees
The fertility of a bunny
The goldenrod sunsets
Topped with a warm soft breeze.

I am so honored that two of my photos got used in this season's Amulet Magazine, one of them being used as the cover photo! Get a copy of the magazine here, and just check out the site in general because it's a gorgeous offering.

The Fair One

I'm drawn to Freyja. I haven't quite figured out exactly why yet. She has many things to teach me, and I am open to receiving. A fertility and lust goddess, chief of the Valkyries, seemingly one of the greatest powers in the god/dess realm.

It was quite fun doing this photo shoot with my friend Chelsea, who I believe embodies Freyja perfectly.

Freyja has many different dynamics to explore and unlock. A complex creature she is.

I was inspired by this print that I have hanging in my studio, by Tammy Mae Moon, one of my favorite pieces in my house.

What does Freyja speak to you?

I will be reading through this information on her because I am so fascinated.

Only love,

Conjuring.

in

In the darkened world,

Through stormy skies and howling winds,

She conjures.

Drawing power from her amethyst and harnessing it through her athame,

She begins.

I am so very honored to be able to capture this gorgeous necklace. This necklace is my soul mate. Since I've gotten it I've worn it at least 4 times a week. I can't wait to photograph it some more. Thank you so much Catie! And this make up, OH this make up. It's some of the best make up out there. Also, the gal that runs it? Super sweet. Thanks Michelle! Can't wait to use it in more photos, not to mention in my day to day.

A special thanks to my friend Jodi for letting me borrow her gorgeous vintage dress.

Honestly, I am not even sure if I like the top photo. But I am proud of these for all the work I've put into them. I want to put these photos out into the world, mostly because they show me trying. I am stepping out of my comfort zone. This year I am reconnecting with my art, the visions and dreams from my soul. And it will get messy and ugly, but through that comes growth. I never want to become stuck. And I've been there. Deep in the mud, stuck and uninspired. So if nothing else, here's me, being inspired.
