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.

My path from agnostic to Heathen Witch

Dona Nobis Pacem
I believe that World Peace is a utopia, because of the way humans are by nature. But I hope we can take some steps to get as close to it as possible. As I see it, the world would be a better place if the human race could keep religion out of politics. I know this is...
New Phone and Photos from Trondheim
I got a new phone yesterday 🙂 It's a Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini Pro, and it's red. For once, I have a phone that isn't black! The reason for this is first and foremost that the red one was cheaper 🙂 but I don't mind the colour at all. Last night I only imported...
