Datura. Art by Chelsea Granger, from Dirt Gems.

Datura stramonium Seer of the Unseen Datura is a queen-of the desert, of the dark, of death, and of mystery. Datura is a moon plant, reflecting light into the shadows, glowing and glimmering in the mist. Datura is the seer of the unseen, the silence in the roaring wind. If you are struggling with the unknown, if you are facing a vast transformation in your life, or if you feel yourself on the edge of a cliff, Datura is your lifeline. Datura emanates strength, power, and courage. As a poison plant, it is one that humans should not take lightly or engage without clear intentions and honesty. Datura states their boundaries. They allow much space and freedom to roam the unknown tides of the underworld. Datura will open your doors of perception, loosen your grip on what you think is reality, and shift the borders of what you know to be true and "normal." Datura expands us. If you are letting go of a familiar reality or some stable structure you have been counting on, the prickly and mysterious Datura will not hold your hand. But they will stand by you, their courage rippling into you, shaking your bones, releasing your dreams into a new world of what is possible. You do not need to be limited by what you know or what you think. Datura encourages the visionary deep inside each of us. This sacred nightshade breaks illusions, allowing for the visions in your dreams to come into waking life. Datura is not playing around. If you are too caught up in the mundane world, if you have forgotten your own magic, if you feel alone and lost in the noise, you can sail in the desert sands of this windy, moonlit queen.

leading her towards the table, he too pulls a chair out for her, throwing a reassuring smile her way. it took quite a lot for oscar to feel jealous and he trusted edwina, so whatever they had wandered into was exactly what they claimed it to be. in spite of her suspicious behaviour. he knew her well enough to know it was almost in her nature, he didn't think twice about it and attempted to offer chelsea a reassuring glance too, prompting her to recognise the same. "i'll help you, mate. can't have you bring four drinks over here by yourself." he didn't know much about victor, but he felt no malice towards him. so what if they were betrothed to one another. they hadn't got married, and he seemed to have moved on. at least, everything indicated as such.

whatever she might've believed she'd stumbled into, she really did trust victor. which spoke volumes about what she felt about him. so, when he takes the lead, she happily follows. complies when he pulls a chair out for her, taking a seat. "thank you," she mouths, truly grateful for his kindness. it wasn't what she was used to and she was sure that were anyone to discover her origins, they wouldn't shy away from conveying how undeserving of a man like him, she was. yet she soaks it up right now, that dull ache in her chest dissipating slowly. maybe she'd need more reassurance, but that would come, she hoped, in time. when they were alone again.

EDWINA HADN'T BEEN PROUD OF that chapter in her life, but she hadn't completely concealed it from Oscar. She had been honest with him. Though their conversation hadn't been in-depth, but she had moved on from it. Renewing her ties with Victor is another thing. She doesn't think they'll ever restore their friendship the way it was, but they can at least stand each other in the same room and be civil. She relaxes as Oscar grasps her shoulder, the gesture assuaging her guilt. "I'm dandy," she answers with a titter. "Okay, a drink, but don't knock yourself out."

         "Whatever you all want. The world is your oyster. You're all welcome," Victor quips, attempting to lighten the mood. He turns to Chelsea, sensing her apprehension. She's good at keeping her composure, but he knows her tells and knows her well enough that it's not always the case. He wants to ask her, but maybe later, in the right place and the right time. He just hopes that his suggestion for them to get drinks together won't sour her mood. He takes her hand in his and meets her gaze, intertwining their fingers, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "Anything you want." He leads her to a table, and pulls a chair for her.

Harvesting / Wildcrafting Calender

Herbal Wisdom by Brittany Wood Nickerson

Illustrations by Chelsea Granger

[mattievictoria]

I started this illustration back in February after listening to the track The Liminal on Chelsea Wolfe’s new album. The lyrics made me think of Granger Taylor, a Canadian man who was never seen again after leaving a note for his family stating that he was going to leave his life on Earth behind and travel the stars with extraterrestrials. The concept also made me think of my late mother, who was fascinated by aliens and had a few anomalous light sightings herself! This drawing took me out of my comfort zone, but I really liked the idea and my mom has been on my mind lately, so I found the drawing process to be cathartic 🛸💚

Magnolia. Art by Chelsea Granger, from Dirt Gems.

Magnolia spp. Time Traveler Magnolia says, Get ready. It is coming. Change will happen whether you are ready or not. Magnolia asks us not to fight change or resist where our life leads us, but to let things become what they must as we build our lives with integrity. Slow down and trust. Magnolia reminds us, You are as old as anything on Earth. You have everything you need. When you feel as though you have tried to change and things always cycle back around or you wonder how you will ever work through something, Magnolia says, Let time flow through you. Everything you have lost is still all around you, and everything you have once been will be again. And Magnolia knows because they are 95 million years old. As they hold us in our entirety, through our history, our whole selves, and the nonlinearity of time and space, Magnolia has seen it all. With their velvety voice, Magnolia says, Persevere. With their guidance, you can endure the passage of time with voluptuous beauty. Let your swollen, teary eyes radiate your tenderness, your humanity. Let yourself be beautiful in all your states. Waxy, creamy, and tough, Magnolia asks us to believe in the fullness of time, to not waste our days worrying or giving in to expectations and disappointment. If you feel your limitations around you, Magnolia asks you to grow beyond yourself. We are often attracted to or called by Magnolia when there is a natural process unfolding in our lives that we are fighting or resisting. Magnolia will remind you that time and space have no hold on you.

10 Lines Tagging Game

Thank you for the tag, @yletylyf <3

Rules: share the first lines of ten of your most recent fanfics and tag ten people. If you have written less than ten, don’t be shy and share anyway

Harry stirred from unconsciousness. At first, confusion was the only thing that registered. Last he remembered, he was sitting down at his kitchen table to eat a microwaved dinner. Alone. A quick break before he would have to be on duty for New Year's Eve. Had he fainted at his table? Voyager, Healer, Survivor written by @yletylyf and me. (Harry/Severus/Voldemort) It's been so much fun writing this fic with another person <3

Hermione Granger came out on a dreary Tuesday. It was a work night, and she was at the pub with her two best friends, Harry and Ron. She had broken up with Ron less than two months before. Shackled. (Hermione/Bellatrix) So excited for this one! The smut is going to be fire :D

The Lestrange Estate was a damp, shadowy place. Lily felt like a rat scurrying from room to room. She still didn’t know why she had been spared. Dark Hunger. (Lily/Severus) A strange sexy fic. I have a lot of plans for it ... I just need to ignore the shippers. Lily loves both James and Severus in this idk what to tell ya lol

Harry was exhausted. He was in the last stretch of a three hour meeting, and all he wanted to do was go home to his fiance. It still gave him a thrill to think about it. Severus was his fiance. They were engaged to be married. In Love with Severus. Sequel to Snowed in with Severus. (Harry/Severus) I need to stop daydreaming about the smut scenes in this and actually get them down on paper (or a google doc lol)

Hermione couldn’t sleep on the nights she knew Harry had a raid. He was an Auror now, a competent one, but she still worried about him. Sometimes it felt as if she had spent her entire life worrying about him. A Darkness so Tender. (Hermione/Harry) I write this when I want some good friends to lovers. All the pining <3

Hermione was in bed when she heard the crash. For a moment, she thought she had dreamed the disturbance. It was merely a nightmare, an echo of the past. Hold Me Now in Hand. (Hermione/Severus) Probably the dirtiest het smut I've written. Love love it. Written from May 2022 - January 2023. Complete.

The first time Draco saw Harry Potter after the war, he was in Mint and Magic, just trying to get himself a cup of tea and a gooey Chelsea bun. He was working in Flourish and Blotts of all places and he was on his lunch break. He was making do. He was happy, he supposed. What he wanted most in life was not money or affluence, but love. Big Love. Written for @ladderofyears. (Harry/Draco) It was wonderful to write this for a friend! Complete.

Draco had dreaded his first encounter with Ginny Weasley after his marriage to Harry. He didn’t hate her, oh no, but he was jealous of her. She was Harry’s first love after all, and his eyes still sparkled when he spoke of her. Claim Me on a Bed of Snow. (Harry/Draco) Love this! The jealousy/smut in this is so good. It's very fluffy too. Complete.

The snow fell heavily in London. Harry was on his way home in a red double-decker bus after doing a bit of last minute Christmas shopping. Harry liked riding the bus with Muggles. Outside his window was a sheet of whiteness. It was calming. Somewhere in My Memory. (Harry/Draco) This fic was a smashing hit and I know why. I still can't stop thinking about some of the scenes in it. Complete.

Draco was released from Azkaban on the first of October. He had spent two years in a damp, mouldy cell. They had done away with the Dementors but the leaks in the ceiling had been allowed to stay. Release. (Harry/Draco) Probably the best smut I've ever written? Character development + sizzling free use. Just fantastic. Complete.

Let's tag ... @ladderofyears @veelawings @hey-flynn @tenthousandyearsx @soloorganaas @givereadersahug @the-francakes @lqtraintracks @thistlecatfics @teacup-tai @bellairestrella

Communication as Art + Skill

Communication is an art form, as well as a form of learning. Whether it’s related to feelings, or ideas and concepts, artists and learners deal with communication as a medium in which to work. As I developed myself as an artist and learner, I found that the concept of communication could be broken down into reflective and explanatory means. This realization was insightful, as it helped me to look at my art and learning as either acts of reflection or attempts to illustrate ideas. Within my journey as a learner and artist, I found my piece “Crescendo” a collaborative literary journal, and “From Hermione Granger to Albus Dumbledore: from a consumer of knowledge to a facilitator thereof”, a reflective essay on my learning, to be indicative of these traits.

Writing takes recognition of audience, context, and diversity while being able to blend evidence, claims, and reflection in a way that is not only engaging but knowledgeable. In my reflective essay “From Hermione Granger to Albus Dumbledore: from a consumer of knowledge to a facilitator thereof”, I explored this skill, utilizing my own work as both qualitative and quantitative evidence of my claims of learning. In order to make use of this evidence, I needed to identify the audience of my essay, and develop a context in which to create a consistent narrative. This forced me to imagine who was reading my essay, why they were reading it, and how to make the reading experience something they felt inspired by. Once I had done this, I began to see the importance of reflective writing. Reflecting on my pieces of work and how I wanted others to understand them assisted in me delivering my personal narrative, allowing me to take my reflective essay and turn it explanatory.

I continued this reflective to explanatory cycle in my piece “Crescendo”. “Crescendo” is within a google drive with labeled folders, all relating to multimodal art. Contributors submit their pieces via instructions found in each folder. This means that the documentation within the piece becomes crucial to be able to interact and understand with the pieces. Therefore how we as a team were able to convey how to use the drive as a journal and submit content was incredibly important. Working with my team, I began to examine how writing should be structured to assist in identifying the audience of our journal. This examination bolstered me to think about how our multimodal pieces allowed us to communicate with a wide range of diverse audiences, as we encouraged pieces that didn’t depend on a specific language or written form. It helped me see communication beyond writing and evidence. While these forms are important but are not the barometers in which I should only measure my skills. 

In conclusion, my journey through myself as an artist and learner has helped me understand communication. I realized reflective communication was introspective and was the visualization of my own thoughts, feelings, and ideas to myself as well as the outside world. This contrasted with explanatory communication, which is my attempt to offer my understanding around a subject, or offer up my reflective thoughts to an audience.
