hey uuh trash/diy type witches, has anybody put together a business card oracle?
it occurred to me last night, and it seems it’d be a very easy way to build up a low-key, very personal divination system for free so someone must have already done it right?
This is an awesome idea.
1. Hospital card
2. Bank card
3. Card from a place sitting in specific directionals
I don’t often say that much in the open, but I hope Tumblr can sort out their shit this time. I don’t know where else to go at present. We complain a lot about this place around here, but sticking it to users and making their experience hell is now an internet-wide issue (don’t get me started on Facebook and Etsy). Looking at not only myself but most of my creative, artist friends trying to maintain a vital online presence, it is a serious concern to see how many platforms are crumbling around their users no matter how dedicated or law-abiding they are.
I’m not flouncing out of here (unless I get outright kicked out). I’ve created accounts with so many art/networking sites in this lifetime and they inevitably end up being the same issues served up by different chefs. But just in case something happens here and you want to keep up with the art, I’m lunaria_gold on Instagram (until they start swatting users willy-nilly there too)
2018 is drawing to an end and so am I. Finishing up a set of runes featuring stones and plants for the new year. Ansuz: Message, advice, inner voice, information. Reeds and andalusite (chosen for its strong pleochroism; showing different colours from various angles)
Silence is just as likely to indicate the most profound ideas forming, the deepest energies being summoned.
‘Ugh, this stuff addles my brain if I think about it for too long, but these are the kind of encounters I really thrive on now when I’m out and about – encounters that reveal the mind-boggling variety, scale and complexity of the natural world’
For this month’s Walkhighlands article I’m taking a look back at how my enjoyment of the great outdoors has changed over the past decade or so. Almost beyond recognition! Just click on the link.

Fun to say, and also very useful. So what is a Niddy Noddy? it is the name of a hand tool that goes under a far more boring name.
The more boring name is hand reel, and if you think of reeling in a fish on a line, you understand part of the
idea. Niddy Noddy first appeared in print, according to the Oxford English Dictionary in 1890, but the article was about the thirty-year old memories of a man growing up in a New England town. So the word was used as early as 1860 and likely well before. You use it to take yarn and wind it into a skein. This usually happens after the yarn is spun, and you can keep track of how much yarn there is if you count as you wind. You can also use it if you want to dye the yarn, as I do, to create skeins out of balled yarn.
This one breaks down into 3 pieces, which is handy as the full shape takes up a lot of space. Then you fit them together, and then you start winding. Notice that you hold the center bar, wind around each of the two bars, and then you can slide the skein off by sliding off the end of the one bar that curves downward. If you have ever wound a hose, some string etc, by holding one end in your hand than looping around your elbow and back up to your hand again, this is a similar movement, but with the two bars, you gain a much longer length and so a longer skein.
it’s not a necessity for your average knitter or crocheter, but most useful for spinners and dyers. I got this one used while on a visit to Allegan, Michigan to http://www.bakeralleganstudios.com/
