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.

Crafts Aplenty
Even though my shoulders prevent me from doing as much as I'd like. I've still finished a number of crafts lately, most made from paper maché. If you see something you like, give me a shout. With the exception of the pirate's telescope I made for Lilith, they're all...
Osteoarthritis: Shoulder MRI Results – Not Yet
I was at my GP's today, to get the results of my Shoulder MRI and to get my sick leave extended again. My shoulders aren't getting better, they're getting worse. Yesterday I couldn't get to sleep until late because of the pain, and that's despite the painkillers I'm...
Rök Runes – 9 – Ís
Since number 9 f the Rök Runes, the Ice rune, has kept its appearance from the Elder Futhark, I've allowed it to keep its interpretation. I have however elaborated a bit on it. The easiest part of the interpretation, is things being frozen, standing still, stagnation....
Decorations Outside
I've taken some pictures of our Jul Decorations outside. Just a few, but there's really nothing more to show. I'll do a separate post on the inside of the house, as soon as it's clean and finished.

MRI Day
I wore the lovely, nalbound hat I got from Ingvild again today. I find I like wearing 'pointy' hats. maybe it's the witch in me 😀 I need to make more of these, and I'm definitely making myself a Chaperon. By the way, the only reason it's standing up like that is that...
Need a Shoulder? Maybe two?
I'm just kidding. I'm not giving my shoulder (or shoulders) away, although it might be tempting sometimes. Yes, this is yet another post about my health. I was at the doctor's office yesterday afternoon, to get my sick leave extended. My shoulders are getting worse,...
Rök Runes – 8 – Nauðr
Time to look at the 8th of the Rök Runes. As this rune is very similar to the one in the Elder Futhark, I've let it keep most of my original interpretation. It does, however, have a different crossbar, and I thought long and hard about what to do about that, in...
Cold but Beautiful
This morning we woke up to temperatures below freezing. It's become more and more cold as the day has progressed. The official reading at 10 AM was -9.2 C/15.4 F. Which should be true for our place as well since the weather station is only 100 m/109 yards away. But...
