This piece is so precious to me, I almost can’t even write about it. So many emotions enliven inside of me when I sit down to pen and paper about this piece. 

Edinburgh, Scotland ~ home of my heart ~ my desire to return an ever-present latency, volcanic, waiting in the wings/my wings..

Espresso.

This is the first espresso piece I have finished and shared since the winter of 2019, when I surrendered my beloved vice to the demands of my ravaged adrenal glands. 

That caramely, sunshine background: our perfected poison makes *the most* exquisitely irresistible pigment to me!!!

Walnut Ink.

My grandmother’s hands. I remember her fairy white hands turned black as coal from shelling buckets and buckets of walnuts out on the front porch. I gathered these walnuts from my neighborhood, and brewed this fresh batch of walnut ink during the swoon-worthy grande water trine between Luna, Venus and Neptune a few weeks back in September. 

Rose Ink..

..alchemized with the walnut ink for this glorious deep, mahogany. Damien Echols recently said, 

“the Rose to Western Hermetic traditions is like the Lotus to the Eastern paths.” Ahh, I see now. Why myself and every.single.woman in my life fall headlong into bliss when we breath her aromatic seduction. 

Because we remember.

Even those who remember nothing else, remember smell.

Now with all this serious ~ playful ~ bliss soaked magick drenched into this work of art, I offer it as an exquisitely rendered fine art reproduction

My original glyphs and legend erased by the wizardry of Joshua Niven of Asheville Fine Art Printing, the virgin giclée returned to me, I hand ink your natal glyphs and legend and complete the spell by sewing your natal aspects with white, silk thread.
