The Art Witch Blog
I’m a mythical artist, photographer, designer, intuitive and all-around creative based in the Norwegian mountains and this is my blog.
This is where I share my creative expression and do my best to inspire, empower, share tips and information, and give the occasional kick in the butt so you can have a more fulfilling life. You’ll also find a lot of art, some behind the scenes and works in progress, as well as some strong opinions, and a swear word or two. If you enjoy the posts, please share them.

Have you set any goals for 2013?
Maybe you have several goals, both for work or business and personal stuff. Maybe you've even made some resolutions for the new year. I stopped making resolutions many, many years ago when I realized they were mostly empty promises. I prefer to promise things I can...
Make yourself the priority
To get out of the cycle of always putting others first, you first need to start making yourself the priority. I don't mean you should stop caring for your kids and helping other people. What I do mean is that you should set aside time every day for things that help...
Will this be the year you honour yourself?
Are you wondering when it will finally be your turn? When you'll get to live the life you were meant to live? Make it your turn this year! Start taking better care of yourself! Make yourself a priority! Go looking for the magic! Find the passion within you! Honour...
Runes and Priorities
We all need to prioritize our todo-lists and goals, and the runes can help you with that. One way is to ask what's most important for you this year, this month or this week. Or you can do all three at once. Here are two readings I did for myself. The first one is for...
Business Cards
I needed some business cards for the art I create, so I decided to recycle some of my old ones. I gessoed over the old text wrote my name and the URL for the page on the back and painted something on the front. I've only made 7 so far, and 2 were not good enough. But...
Beautiful Artwork

Zeit – Making Time for Pagan Practice
This is a guest post written by my dear friend Sibylle Leon from The Hag's Den. After reading this post, please check out her website, her blog, and especially her 13 Moons program. In the spring of 2004, I got very lucky with regards to my pagan practice. I went...
A Donkey for Stubbornness
I wanted to create an amulet art piece for stubbornness (or tenacity if you prefer). I know I have more than I need myself, but there are lots of people, especially women, who could really use being more stubborn in some situations. This is especially in those...
Zymosis or Brewing Beverages
I racked my latest mead tonight, hoping it'll be as good as the very first batch I made back in 2003. I've used the same recipe and honey, just increasing the amounts. For most people, brewing isn't part of their spiritual practice, but for me it is. I can't really...
Fire Lily
This painting of a Fire Lily was inspired by a photo I took, of one of the Fire Lilies I have in my garden. It was made in acrylics on 180 g paper. Size: 50 x 40 cm
Runes – A new baby
A while ago I did a rune reading for a woman. (I'm leaving out part of our communication, so as not to identify her.) Her question for these runes was: "My husband and I are trying to have another child. I had a miscarriage in February and we have been trying since...
Helping Herbs – Yule Health for You
The holiday season brings a lot of stress for many of us, although the type of stress varies. There's emotional stress: Having to be with people you don't really enjoy being with, or who aren't supportive of your choices. Arguments Housework that doesn't get done...
