in the arms of florida

I'm back in the cold. gray, brisk state of Michigan. Florida...I miss the salty ocean, sound of the waves, sand on my feet, sun on my cheeks, cool nights, windows open, jelly fish, seashells, not a care in the world! Soon we shall meet again!

my first encounter with a gator!

Hello from the dirty south! Florida is heavenly right now. I got just 5 feet from these creatures on my trip to the spooky marshes of the Everglades. The gators roam freely in these parts. They seem frozen and sinister, giving the impression of being plastic. I was curious to know the difference between gators and crocks. The main difference seems to be the jaw and the teeth. What you are looking at here is the American Alligator.

serpents and minerals

I just updated the shop with two new items that I'm sure will be a hit! Mechanical serpent necklace and a new, gray agate geode. Each geode is unique, I love examining the stripped formations.

lucky you

Some new designs are showing up in my shop, including these little horseshoe earrings. Lightweight and perfect for wearing daily! Increase your luck! I decided to find out why they carry so much luck! Here is what came up;

The horseshoe invokes the crescent moon or 'sacred vulva' shape of pagan moon goddesses (Artemis, Diana, etc.), and so invites their protection. The (usually) seven nail holes in a horseshoe invoke the traditionally lucky number 7. Horseshoes are usually iron, and iron repels fair-folk, keeping your house free of mischievous demons, imps, pixies, and elves. Horseshoes are associated with blacksmiths, and smithing is considered a lucky profession. A witch cannot walk under a horseshoe. If the devil gets to close to a horseshoe, he will be sucked in. A horseshoe in your bedroom will keep nightmares away. Horseshoes can cure hiccups.

new reads

"This book is not for botanists or dendrologists or taxonomists, or even for those who want to identify individual trees. It is a book for nonexperts (like me)." These are the opening words from Diana Wells, the author of Lives of Tress. Full of interesting facts, this book covers how trees are used in sacred rituals, their medical properties and the origins of their names. What's your favorite tree!

inspired by cleo

Her patron goddess was Isis, and thus during her reign it was believed that she was the re-incarnation and embodiment of the goddess of wisdom. Philosopher Blaise Pascal contends that Cleopatra's classically beautiful profile changed world history: "Cleopatra's nose, had it been shorter, the whole face of the world would have been changed."
