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.

Editorials on Pagans
This post won't be very long because I have to get back to the bookkeeping, or 'bookeeping', as I once called it by accident. I know they're the interesting, exciting and mysterious pagans. But why is it that almost every time a paper does an editorial or interview...
Turning 40 – More Alive
I used to think I'd never get to 40, much less nearly 50 (I'm now 47). Middle age and the croning years seemed so far away and besides I was enjoying my misspent lifestyle of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. However, was I really enjoying it? Looking back I don't think...
Turning 40 – The new 30’s
I was dreading turning 40, for me it was the start of getting old. How wrong was I!! 40 is the new 30 and, believe me, the Nawty 40’s really are a fantastic period of life. It's like going through your 20’s with the benefit of hindsight 🙂 and how often have we wanted...
Rune reading – Her future and otherworldly contact
Here's a rune reading I made for a client a little while ago. Since it was two separate questions, I did two separate readings. I then cast all the runes to get an overview, and to see if any more details came up. The question: What will I (the client) be doing in...

Gods and Goddesses of Death in Norse mythology
Hel is one of the gods and goddesses of death in Norse mythology. She was placed in Helheim by Odin and ordered to provide room and board for those who die from illness or old age. If you die in battle, you may end up with Odin in Valhalla or with Freyja in Fólkvangr....
Pad Thai
I did another food experiment for lunch yesterday. I followed a recipe given to me by Candace N'Diaye (go check out her art!). It's Pad Thai, but it's adapted to what was available. Finding Rice Noodles and Tamarind Paste was easy, but I'm glad I had some Tiger Prawns...
Osteoarthritis: More Sick-leave
I had an appointment with my GP today, to get my sick leave extended and to talk about the results of the meeting with the orthopaedic surgeon. We discussed the findings, and he said they were more or less what he expected. He did bring up fibromyalgia again, but I...
Osteoarthritis: No Surprises from the Orthopaedic Surgeon
I went for a consultation for my shoulders with an Orthopaedic Surgeon today, but I can't say I left any wiser than I was when I got there. He asked me a couple of questions and checked the mobility in my shoulders. Then he said they're unstable, and that's what...
Career Choice Tarot Reading
Here's the latest Tarot reading I did for a client. I've removed anything that might identify the client. Choice A requires that you focus properly on what you do. Even if you feel indifferent to it, remember that only you can change it. You crave change, and would...
Rök Runes – 11 – Creative Chaos
The 'S' rune from the runes on the Rök Stone no longer looks anything like Sól. It still has the sound value, so I had to let it keep some of the aspects. It has some of Ís in it as well, so I brought Ice into the mix. While fire stands for light, heat, and passion....
Sorry, pain stopped me
I know I promised a post on weeds yesterday, but my body wouldn't let me because of pain. I'm hoping to be able to do another rune post this week, and the weed post on Monday. Besides those, I'm not sure how much I'll be posting this week. Tonight I'm doing a Tarot...
