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.

Esbat Cooking
A friend and I were planning a mutual prosperity ritual for the Esbat tonight, but things got in the way. So I'm doing one on my own, in my regular spot. I've done a lot of exciting cooking today, for this ritual. So the day has been pretty special already. I started...

Journeying
On most of the occasions when I do magic work, I journey, either in meditation or Seiðr. Journeying is probably one of the few real talents I have, on the spiritual side. I'm not clair-anything at all (clairvoyant, clairaudient etc). I don't see auras or ghosts...
I hope I gave the Vættr what they wanted
