This painting was inspired by a photograph of the Countess of Castiglione. If you’re never heard of her, read about her here!

I Don’t Want To Hug You

Hugs that are mutually consented by all parties involved can be super healing.

I’ve had my share of unwanted touches, aggressions and forced skin and body interactions with others and it has taken me so long to actually find people who respect my body and understand that something which can seem as innocent as a hug still needs consent. My body is mine. My energy is mine. I do not need to share my touch with anyone.

I am super glad to have supporting partners and friends who respect these boundaries. It’s not about being rude or cold, it’s about knowing what I am willing to allow, what I want for me and my body and sticking to that.

So today I made a miniature set of divination cards!

Last minute I remembered I had gold ink and it was the best improvement!

I made a card to represent each of the traditional tarot suits; a sun and moon/day and night cards; element cards with symbols that mean something to me; colours to match the colours of my miniature candles (and then black to balance the white).

The last three I needed something to represent begining, middle and end/past, present and future – the triskele has always been one of my favourite symbols and so this was what happened 🙂

They’re only 3cm wide! I’m going to make a little pocket alter thing so these will fit perfectly in that!

Hi! May I please have a general hieroglyphic reading? Thank you -BM (if you’re not doing them now then please ignore this! Thank you again.)

Here you are, nons!

Sar.  The word for “amulet” and is associated with protection.  But the thing that stood out to me is that this symbol is also associated with Taweret, the goddess of childbirth.  This makes me feel like you need to start growing and encouraging your own nurturing side. That kind of side of you is something that can be very valuable even if some (possibly even yourself) can count a nurturing demeanor as weakness.  But someone who is nurturing has the capability to care for those they love and fight just as hard as they care for those important to them.  For what drives us to be nurturing can also drive us to be strong when it is needed.
