All is connected. That's why, for now I am simply going to share with you my newest Mermaid Paintings and yes, you will be the first to see these magickal creatures both here and in my museletter! They have my heart. They will also be part of a new oracle deck I'm working on (name as yet un-decided as I'm in the flow - but your suggestions always welcome!).
I'm also very excited to try out some Daniel Smith watercolors that are magickally color shifting, sheening, granulating and made from ground up minerals with names such as: Undersea Green, Imperial Violet, Lunar Blue, Serpentine, Rose of Ultramarine and Sodalite.
It's Pisces Season right now so it's time to dive deep, be enchanted and be courageous. My mermaids are no flimsy, weak maidens; they have teeth and claws and they bite! I like learning about Fey Mermaid Warriors such as the mythological Circe who lived as a witch and a weaver in a little stone cottage by the sea where she concocted magical herbal potions to ensnare sailors shipwrecked near her shores, turning the nastiest ones into swine.
Mer-Witch Magik
I found a fishing float (witches ball) the other day and have it on my altar to collect and disperse any unwanted energies around me.
I collected some morning dew at the last New Moon in Pisces - mer-fairie sustenance!
