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.

A first taste of Winter
When I and my daughter walked to daycare this morning, we got our first real taste of winter. Here's what the hills around us looked like. If you're wondering how much snow that is, here's what one of the cars at daycare looked like.
The Magpie
I love Magpies, and especially their colours. This Magpie is made in pencil, with a little help from a black colour pencil. It's made on watercolour paper. Size: 42 x 29,7 cm
7 Witchin’ Cartoons
I wanted to do something fun, as it's Saturday night. This is the best I could come up with. I hope these cartoons your taste.
Teaching Witchcraft?
I was contacted by a woman who asked if I'd be interested in giving lectures at their witchcraft course, and it took me off guard. I'd never considered teaching, lecturing or public speaking engagements, but it seems I should. I have a few subjects I feel I have...
Hel – The Goddess of the Underworld
My portrait of the goddess Hel on her throne. I chose to paint her as beautiful as I could, as I don't agree with those who describe her as ugly. The painting was done on canvas with acrylic paint and was finished on the 22nd of February 2012, after six straight...
Northern Lights
I love the Northern Lights, and I just had to paint it. I did my best to capture the fantastic colours of this phenomenon in winter. The Northern Light we get here is mostly green, but with small streaks of other colours. The painting is in acrylics on art board....
Pjoning or Slip Stitch Crochet
This post is to show you how to get started with what they call Pjoning in Norway. In English, it's called Slip Stitch Crochet, and sometimes also Bosnian crochet. If I had full use of my hands, I would have made a video myself, but I found this one, which is really...
Tarot Spreads
The subject for this evening is Tarot spreads. There is an enormous amount of spreads out there, both online and offline. Two examples of where you might go if you're looking for a spread, are Aeclectic.net and Psychic-revelation.com I don't use that many Tarot...
October Competition
It's time for another competition, and I decided to have another blog hunt. The blog I'm after recently published a post called "Magical Tip of the Day – 1 October". What's the name of the blog? What's the name of the writer? What's the link to the writer's Facebook...
Helping Herbs – Wounds
I was talking to an Internet acquaintance earlier today, and she's a nurse doing palliative care. She talked about changing dressings on wounds that won't heal, and how painful that is. That set me on the path of writing this post. Although I don't have anything that...
Sunday Art – Clover
My first attempt at something a little more relaxed in acrylic; A Red Clover flower. I'm hoping to get relaxed enough to start doing abstracts as well. I won't stop painting the other thing though 🙂
Thunder
Don't you just love the energy of thunder and of a good thunderstorm? I know I do, as long as everyone's safe of course. But this year Thor hasn't come to visit us at all. I wonder what he's up to? I love storms in general as well. Haven't had any of those either,...
