Doll maker. Crafter. Feral hosewife running with the wheel of the year between the garden and local woods. Dwelling in the labyrinths of myth, mind, folklore, metaphor and symbolism with a bottle gourd in my heart.

One of my dolls lives in a museum. It's Frau Perchta - mythical witch with Germanic roots. You can meet her in person in the Museum of Magic, Fortunetelling and Witchcraft in Edinburgh, Scotland.

I was reading book with my toddler about feelings and how we can assign colors to feelings. He then said: "I'm feeling happy. It's gray." I will never see gray the same way again. In that moment it changed for me forever. #grey #gray

If your hands are dirty, paint them. Nobody will see the dirt. - wisdom from the 4yo. It works.

The stupidest thing about my sleep paralysis is that my eyes remain closed and I don't get to hallucinate monsters. I can't breathe when that happens and it's scary. If I have to go through this anyways, I would love to see a creature on my chest, a damn ghost. I guess you can't have it all.

Let's assume the old one got deconstructed and now you've got a new wood fired stove in the heart of your home. Folklore says gnomes use woodfired stoves to sleep in and move through them. How would you honour/invite them? #folklore #mythology #WitchSky #PaganSky #hearth #gnomes #FireSpirit

I lately see many witchy girlies online telling they are "suddenly called to Jesus". It's spreading. Is that American Christian propaganda ar work or it's been something always in them and they now are feeling brave enough to express it? What is this? What's going on? #WitchSky #OccultSky #PaganSky

Let's assume you are getting ready to make pickles for winter season. What's on your playlist? 🤔 #music #playlist #pickles

I'm working on a small collection of wall plaques. Moon Garden. Maybe 'Night With the Fae'? I'm still looking for the title that would suit them all together and each one separately. Any ideas? Any thoughts, feelings or associations looking at these? #MoonGarden #PlantArt #ArtSky #WitchSky #wip

Also, I just met this aetheric creature and, omg, it's White Plume Moth and the caterpillars overwinter and feed on bindweed! My perspective on bindweed in my garden has been changed forever. #moth #WhiteMoth #bindweed #WitchSky #spooky #beauty #permaculturegarden #puremagic #permaculture

My husband has the biggest smudge stick in town. The only way to escape the hungry mosquitoes we have exceptional amounts of this year. It's been raining since mid-May. #smudge #smudgestick #smoke #mosquitoes #odi #laukos #laukudzīve #countrysidelife

Peace and beauty in chaos. In picture. IRL it feels more like chaos than anything else. And it is. I couldn't create such setup even if I wanted to. #stilllife #bloomscrolling #gardenflowers #flowers #peaceandbeauty #kitchen #countrysidelife #irl #kitchentable

Ants farmimg aphids. Look it up. Or maybe don't. They sedate them, eat their wings & take care of all their needs, even carry them from plant to plant, so they don't have to move. It's natural, and it rises multiple conflicts in me at once. #natural #ants #farming #aphids #justnature

I'm just a stupid gardener who likes to learn from plants. And I might draw wrong conclusions sometimes, but this queer flower asked me to pass the message right now.

If you still haven't, check my Etsy shop. I had gone away from Etsy for 3 years, and I'm back since February. If you need a Kitchen Witch, altar doll or a companion in a shape of celebration of the witch archetype, I will be glad to serve you. This is my shop: silticrafts.etsy.com

Post-Solstice afternoon bottle gourd tea on a lazy day. What's in your tea cup? #solstice #bottlegourd #tea #teatime #afternoontea

I managed to finish the Medicine Woman. Perfect guardian for a spice rack, medicine chest, tea shelf, sacred space. www.etsy.com/listing/4323... #MagicalBazaar #WitchSky #witch #healer #MedicineWoman #KitchenWitch

A glimpse into last year's celebration in my home. I'm getting ready for this year's gathering (on 23rd, but starting from tomorrow) 😊. Happy Solstice, beautiful souls! May your celebrations are full of joy! #SummerSolstice #jāņi #litha #PaganSky #WitchSky #bonfires

Medusa. Gorgon from Greek mythology with living snakes instead of hair. Anyone who looked upon her was turned to stone. Athena used her head as a weapon & symbol of protection. Nobody will dare to touch your pins. www.etsy.com/listing/4322... #greekmythology #medusa #hideous #WitchSky #MagicalBazaar

To be honest, selling dolls in such messed up times feels wrong. I couldn't afford to buy my dolls too.

On the other hand, weird dolls perfectly suit these messed up times.

Not very originial, but a valid reminder: life is a struggle, don't waste your time trying to convince yourself it's not, yes, it is. Accept the struggle & live deliciously anyways. Stay as weird as you are. Nobody has to understand you. Be kind and helpful anyways. #reminder #self #goodmorning

To be honest, her choice of herbs in her medicine jars surprised me a bit. I expected sage, maybe nettle, cinnamon, or some flowers. She chose dried lovage leaves and fenugreek seeds. I will sit with that for a moment. #WorkInProgress #DollMaker #DollInProgress #ArtSky #WitchSky #symbolic #esoteric

I should be harvesting herbs. But we barely get a dry day here. It keeps raining. My heart is heavy lately - like the soggy soil. So, I'm sitting at the craft table with a herbalist, a medicine woman, a witch... Hoping for a relief. #WorkInProgress #witch #herbalist #MedicineWoman #DollMaker

I don't think bats belong only to Halloween. They symbolize swiftness, awareness to the surroundings, ability to perceive the unseen, another perspective and so much more. www.etsy.com/listing/4322...

Who has the cutest bottle gourd basket hanging on her shoulder? 😏 Very comfortable for rose petals. Can't wait to master this craft and skill to offer you something like this. My hopes are high. I've planted plenty of bottle gourds where nobody really grows them.
