Two of my big passions are art and the tarot. I really want to tap into your creative spirit and make a custom deck of my own. One of the marks of being an effective practitioner of magic is the ability to make do with what’s on hand. After all, people have made their own Tarot cards for ages. A personalized deck is something I can customize to your own needs, wants, and creativity. The sky is the limit when you’re [...]
Wishing you an awesome April Merry meet and welcome to my playground, my place of connection and service, Joy in Creation. Happy New Moon in Aries! The first New Moon after Mercury Retrograde is a powerful time to make positive shifts in your life. The fog is clearing, Mercury is going direct again and life feels lighter. March was tough for a lot of us. It is now time for action. Time to put those plans into motion, new plans or [...]
Bij een prijsvraag van Bewust Nederland werd een vraag gesteld die mij prikkelde. "Wat is jouw Drømmeland?" Mijn antwoord was: Drømmeland is voor mij die plek in mij waar ruimte en vrede is. De plek van waaruit ik bewust creëer. De plek waar ik thuis ben. De plek waar ik bijkom. Het is niet ergens buiten mij. Het makkelijkste bereik ik deze plek thuis voor mijn altaar, aan mijn tekentafel of op een plek in de natuur, weg van de gekte [...]
Merry meet! Just a brief sharing of a day out I undertook with a friend yesterday. We visited Helmond where there is an exhibit on the witch trials held there back in 1595. Click on this photograph to be taken to the Flickr-photo album Now I am writing another (elaborate) post on witchcraft, what it means to me and much more. However as I have quite a lot of feelings on the subject of what witchcraft means to me, I really [...]
Apologies to all English speaking readers, this blog entry is in Dutch and about a SoulCollage® workshop I facilitated last week. As I am only doing these workshops in Amsterdam (and in Dutch) I decided to do this blogpost in Dutch, my apologies. Met plezier en dankbaarheid kijk ik terug op de Ostara SoulCollage® workshop van vorige week. Het was met een kleine groep, omdat ik wat laatste minuut annuleringen voor de workshop had. Dit is om eerlijk te zijn best [...]
As I just wrote in the former blogpost I haven't a clear notion of what my deeper desire for life is (instead that I love exploring, learning, creating and experiencing...the good, the bad and the ugly... But I also have a deeper need for direction and creating consciously therefor I am struggling to write my Life Plan. I am not even aware of what my more manifested desires are… Know thyself...I guess I have always been so concerned about other people [...]
A friend of mine asked in a Whatsapp group what we would love to do but is not accepted (by ourselves or by society). She is reading the wonderful The Artist Way and this was one of the morning pages exercises. And lots of inspiring answers from friends filled the app in no time, such as having a food fight in a fancy restaurant and crashing a business party in a tight tigerprint suit and stilletos. But I fell silent. No [...]
Spring has arrived early this year, here in The Netherlands, the warmest February day ever was measured on the 27th, a balmy 20 degrees, which is more like Summer warmth in this country. Now I am not complaining as I love love love to feel the sun caress my skin and drink it it’s rich and much needed nourishment. However let’s be honest this isn’t ‘normal’. Exactly this time last year I was wearing a big fake fur hat as it [...]
Happy Valentines Day! I just wanted to let you know that you are not the only one who may not have a special person to celebrate this day with. So why not treat yourself? Yes I know this day has been spoiled by commercialization and there is not a lot of romance left, but being a romantic soul, I do like the idea of this day celebrating romantic love (which is different from the Love we inherently are). The Lovers tarot [...]
Hiya!! I hope you had a wonderful Imbolc! I saw the first flowers popping their heads up from the ground today and my heart just leaped with joy! The other day I read the following line somewhere (I am so sorry I can't remember where, so I can't give credit): When did blogs become all about information? Remember when they were more personal and beautiful and filled with a person's insights? And this sentence stuck with me throughout the week. I [...]
