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.

Rök Runes – 7 – Hagl
If you look at the shape of the 7th of the Rök Runes, it could be interpreted as a falling snowball, a falling rock, or something similar. Since the shape is quite different from the shape it has in the Elder Futhark, I've chosen to completely rewrite the...
Dona Nobis Pacem – Blog for Peace 2011 – I refuse to remember the name
On the 22nd of July 2011, Norway suffered its worst attack since World War II. In one day, we lost 77 people, most of whom were younger than 20, to a madman seeking fame. It started with a bomb in the national government headquarters in Oslo and ended with a mass...

Osteoarthritis: Doctor’s Appointment
I had another doctor's appointment today. Not for the cold this time, although I haven't been able to shake that, but a regular meeting to extend my sick-leave, and get a referral for an ultrasound of my shoulders. I ended up getting the extended sick-leave, and a...
Part Bear?
I don't know what it is, but there's definitely something weird going on. Maybe it's the season. It's getting really dark, and cold. Winter is well on its way. I know one of my fylgja is a bear, but this is ridiculous. I'm not in the habit of going into winter...
Treasure Chest
I finished Lilith's treasure chest last night. Not the prettiest thing I ever made, but I think it'll be appreciated. She's getting it as a gift for her 4th birthday on Sunday.
Sick-Leave, Snow and Saplings
I'm spending today and tomorrow at home to try and get rid of that cold. As easily as I get bronchitis, I really shouldn't mess around with this cough. And I think I had a fever yesterday. I've called work (without being able to reach any of the bosses, so I just sent...
Osteoarthritis: Medication Update
I've had some issues caused by the osteoarthritis medication, so I took a break from them. Something I shouldn't have since I couldn't' sleep because of my shoulder. So I talked to my physician on the phone. He understood why I did what I did, but suggested I...
Osteoarthritis: Tingling Shoulder
I almost didn't get any sleep at all last night. I started having that strange sensation of tingling in my shoulder (which forces me to move it) in the AM, and it hadn't stopped by the time I went to bed. It kept me awake at least until 1 AM, and I woke up several...
A Walk to the River
We took a walk down to the river this afternoon. The weather was pretty warm for this time of year, and sunny. It got a bit harder to walk than we initially thought. The hill was steep, the underbrush dense, and there were a lot of fallen trees and branches on the...
Cold Relief
I've contracted quite a cold, and I thought it would be a good opportunity to bring up things that can relieve the symptoms of a cold. I'll give you a few cold relief remedies, and you can help me add to the list. Runny Nose Use a homemade ointment to prevent...
