Our home.... When we bought this house I thought I feel so home... It is old and built up from the stones from the same ground it is standing on.... we slowly renovating everything its why things are still half done here and there... But I finally had a chance to make some photos here and there today... Wanna take a look? And.... I dont keep any specifical style. I hang my kids paintings and creations in different places because they are full with love. I love plants. I love not standart things and I mix different things as well... simply because they are all reflection of us.... Step inside.......... I hope you got a slight feeling of our house ;) Current Mood:  creative |

I am witch, not wiccan I am witch, not wiccan. I am respecting your choosen path but will always follow my own - which makes me solitary. I am probably gypsy - its why I connect to the places and energy routes, not countries. I am child of nature - I feel the best when I am outside in the forest or in the garden. I am sharing my path with many pets - I feel its the best of showing I CARE. I am sure magic and spirituality is not for "choosen ones" - so I laugh at the "masters" and "gurus" and "only ones" because magic is shared with all who seek it. I know that magic is many times so funny - so I laugh at the serious faces of those who dont want to hear the joke of it. I am witch - I know, I will, I dare and I will keep silent because it is the way it is for me. ........................................ And........... for all the real "cat magic" lovers :) - the REAL pentacle LOL You can as well use this icon - but please dont forget to credit.

Magic apple There are no better artist than a Mother Nature.... this apple was laying just in between others when I noticed that funny pattern started to appear on it. I have no idea what caused it and may be there is very simple explanation to it, but I just thought I would share a magical creation of Nature with you...   Current Mood: amused |

NEW CAMEOS! New cameos finally arrived! These cameos are very pretty and thanks to the thick caboshon they are almost 3D. The new cameos are slightly smaller and they are 20 x 18mm and comes together with gorgeous silver matching chain. I think they are my favorites so far :) So I just placed 5 of them on the auction - take a look!      Current Mood: creative |

Spirits... "The Presence that stands Upon the stairs The unseen hands That move the chairs. The lights that play Across the wall, The stains that stay, The plates that fall, The mist , the chill, The wandering scents This gentle spell must speed them hence. At midnight, set A table neat, With cup and plate, And wine and meat, Invite the ghost To sit and feast, As any host Should urge a guest. Presently, clear The meal away, Then open the door and softly say- "Quick or dead, Thou art fed, Cease to grieve And take thy leave" Bid him depart But should he remain Be calm, take heart And feast him again...." How beautifully written this spell is.... Current Mood: awake |
