Some other favorite examples: the seashore, the edge of a cliff, the way two trees in a forest sometimes seem to arc into each other to form a natural gate, twilight/dawn, a crossroads. This is very Western-society-centric but I also view the time between Christmas and New Year's to be very liminal.

I think too often in these past few years I've been thinking of art in terms of "productivity" and not inspiration. Not an expression of my soul. No wonder the well ran dry. Burnout is a bitch.

Sometimes it's good to just stop trying to make something *good* and just Create Something. I forget that too often. I'm too hard on myself and it drains the joy out of the act of creation.

So I'm holding that creative spark close until I can give it sufficient energy and action.

Love this so much, and it echoes what I've been feeling lately for my own path. 💓

I've been reconnecting with Hekate lately and She seems to be encouraging that. When we get a stove I'll be making a meal with Her in mind.

I have done the "shared sensory experience" thing once and it seemed to go over well with the entity I was doing it for. I suppose it depends on the being in question as well.

Ooh, I'll keep that in mind for when we're settled in and hopefully more financially secure. :D

I just realized I could probably use a cinnamon stick for this without the side effect of grittiness. A bit too pricey for everyday use, but every now and again is doable.

I've remedied this by putting the cinnamon in the filter but I'm not the only one who drinks the coffee, and nobody else likes it. So I'll just have to remember not to drink to the last drop. Sorry, Folger's!
