Magical witches for the Spindle witch and her familiars (from Wraith Arc)

Both their appearances are made up of the quintet’s appearances, could you tell..? The Spindle Witch Mayara uses the wheel of fate to attack. Kimuka, her familiars use threaded hammers.

Spinning was the aspect of my craft that really made everything click. For a long time, I owed that and more to tarot as it was a catalyst in itself... However. When I spin I feel my energy being drafted into my threads in a way that really hit home. I can't wait to find a use for her in my craft ~ ☆

Books of 2023. THE TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY by Alix E. Harrow. Up next! Back on my Driscoll-adjacent reading vibes, to fuel the Driscoll-centric revising vibes (pictured in the background).

I think ramie is officially my favorite plant based fiber for spinning

Even after plying (bracelet, so 2-ply) it’s definitely one of the finest things I’ve ever spun and I wasn’t even trying that hard

The texture may seem a little sketchy at first but by the time it was all spun/plied/rested a little bit it’s very nice

And although I think I’d stick to wool if I was doing something like trance work, I found meditating while spinning this to be very pleasant (once you get into it a little bit) and I would definitely like to explore that more

This time of year can be such an odd transition period. We had the build up to the holidays for many, celebrations or lack thereof that can bring up a vast array of different emotions, the weird liminal space for some that is the last week of December before the New Year, the start of a New Year with pressures to be and do better (which usually involves an relentless onslaught of weight loss posts that can be triggering) and then throughout this…we are already seeing the next holiday on the horizon. Valentines Day. We may likely be already exhausted but have new pressures coming up for us. I tend to find myself seeking emotional healing, self love and calm during this time. Trying to soothe myself during the slow living Winter demands while also looking forward. As a small business owner, I don’t have the luxury of waiting until closer to a holiday to think about what to do about it. I’m making Halloween things in Summer and Christmas in Fall. Always a bit ahead unless I don’t plan in participating in creating holiday themed items. This year, I decided not to stress about Valentines Day. Working instead with things that my whole being craves to be around and work with. This found me with a pile of Rose Quartz at the end of December. I grew fond of this stone when I was pregnant with my first child. I was an “ew I hate pink” type of person before then. Now, I’m still drawn to this beautiful stone and what it has to offer. I’m instantly soothed by its presence and am always happy to work with it again. I made 5 pieces to share in my latest shop update in the hopes that it reaches the right people who may need it’s loving energy. If you decide this is the stone for you, I hope that you find just as many blessings (or more!) with it that I have. 💖 Love you all! ✨

Best Reads of 2022! 📚

Hey guys! These are the best books I read this year. I have to say, having looked at my old posts, it was really nice to see that I read a lot more and met my reading goal of 20 books! A lot went on this year but I’m proud that I was still able to do what I love.

I read some wonderful books from new authors (like Olivia Atwater) as well as favourite authors such as Alix E. Harrow. I also read some lovely manga too and discovered Spy X Family (which is so wholesome and I need more!).

I’m glad that I read a lot of great Asian fiction too. I think it’s become a favourite genre of mine, reading different stories inspired by Asia history or fairytales.

I can’t wait to see what my reading looks like in 2023!

Not to be 'that person' but um...that's not how spinning works

I get the witch connection, so why don’t we see more “Fates” imagery at Halloween?
