I found this in my travels on the interwebs and found myself immediately enchanted with the idea.
I thought about it for a while and realized that it’s not really practical as an actual thing for me because my witchcraft practice can best be described as “engaging in spicy psychology”, so I don’t do “spells” the way the average witch does spells. I make mine up, usually on the fly, and they aren’t generally “book, bell, and candle” type things. I do most of my witchcraft in my art journal because art witchery is my jam.
BUT!
This could be so much fun as a whimsical project that I don’t take too seriously. I could see myself creating mixed-media art spells on recipe cards. It could go like this:
I sit down and do a tarot draw to see what wants to come up for the day’s session.
I paint something that will call in whatever needs to be called in – love, prosperity, healing, strength, creativity – whatever.
Voila. Spell cards. Right??!!
*Swoon*
The more I thought about it, the more excited I got.
So, then this happened.
I don’t know what to tell you. They just hopped into my shopping cart and whined and cried and carried on until I hit “buy now”.
AND this all coincides with the upcoming 100DayProject.
So, that’s a thing I’m going to do now because, yanno. I don’t have enough to do.
*SIGH*
In Other News
It’s month-end and I had a bit of a disaster when I was filming the new moon working for Moonshine, so I’m woefully behind. I spent an egregious amount of time making tiny doodles in a waterfall using a Sakura Gelly Roll, and then when I went to glaze over the doodles with some acrylic ink, the Sakura smeared and disappeared and OMGDOOOOOOOOOM.
SIDE NOTE
I went looking for an “omgdooooom” gif or image on Google and you know what came up?
Links to my blogs.
Omgdoom leads to images of people’s faces in shock about something but omgdooooom looped me right back here.
I am amused. And bereft of an OMGDOOOOOOM gif. Could someone make one for me?
Okay, back to our story.
Needless to say, I have to fix the thing before I can finish the spread and get it up in the classroom.
Oof.
So, today will be for *waves at all of that*, which means I have no more time for *waves at all of this*.
I’ll see you on the other side of omgdooooom. ;)
P.S. I was absolutely in love with the way the light was coming through my window treatments yesterday so I snapped this, and offer it, and these totally chill furbabes for tax.
I pretty much resemble this entire post from ‘ooh..shiny new project’ to ‘OMGdoom …I just destroyed hours of work.’. On a positive note – I’m participating in a ATC swap, and am suddenly freaken’ out about my lack of progress. So I went and cannibalized my old small art pieces. Of course, most of it was too big to fit on an ATC -so I had to cut it up. Turns out – it looks so much better cut up. So now I have a ‘shiny new project’! Haha
I love this!! Repurposing art is one of my jams, for sure,
I wish I knew how to make gifs but I am loving your 100day idea!
I think I might have to learn how to make gifs.
You got me at heavyweight 100-lb paper.
I drooooooooooled. When they arrive, I will pet them.
Art witchery – what a cool name for a journal!
I love that photo of the light streaming through the window. I spy a sloth!! I love them and have a small collection of plushies.
I could totally get behind BoS cards!! I have a bound blank book that was gifted to me, but have struggled to put it together. and so it’s still blank. I didn’t want to put one together out of order. But with cards….OMG!! I could arrange and rearrange as needed. I’m going to have forage through my stash of things and see what I have.
I’m still trying to figure out a 100 days project.
