Welcome to episode seven. If you’ve just joined, I’m Maria at Maria Thearchane on Instagram, and Robin at A Tired Witch on Instagram, and thank you for being here and welcome to our Pop Cass. Yay. Welcome, everybody. Yeah.
Participant #1:
So if you guys are new with us here every week, we talk about the upcoming lunar phase and what that kind of means for us. So the full moon coming up is the full moon in SAGITTARIUS, which will be on June 5, which is a Friday. There’s a couple of things that we’re seeing with this full moon. The first part of it is kind of a bit of a problem. Not really a problem, per se, but a problem given the changes that are going on with the world and kind of the shift back to, I don’t know, reality again. Businesses are opening up and people are going back to work. And the full moon in SAGITTARIUS is very adventurous and energetic and free spirited, and you might be wanting to be like, yeah, everything’s opened up. Let’s run out. And the problem with that is, if we all do that, what was the point of quarantine in the first place? Yeah, definitely get out there and definitely be adventurous, but do so in a safe way, please, guys. Maybe go camping somewhere super remote. Yeah, especially if you’re in the south where we reopened way too early. I mean, a lot of us are staying in, still staying in because no one’s very messy, no one’s doing anything. Yeah, just definitely own that adventurous side, but please be safe, guys. Like, we’re all responsible for our own actions and those around us. We can’t be so responsible for practice adventuring in a safe way. We’re a condom, guys. Take a trip to the living room. Take a trip to the bedroom. No, this is not our horniest episode ever. We’re not doing this again. The other side of the SAGITTARIUS full moon is that SAGITTARIUS is ruled by Jupiter. So you might find yourself more emotional than usual at this time, particularly if you are somebody who has mensus or menstrual cycle. And a lot of people who have mensis, they have it around the full moon. So if you’re already somebody who’s late to the full moon because of your menstrual cycle, and then on top of that, we have this full moon that’s more emotional. Yikes. I feel so sad for you. It’s going to be a little bit but the upside of that is, because we are feeling more emotional, it can also be a great time for divination and tapping into our intuition. So you might find yourself seeing the truth and everything, and that’s a positive. So although it’s a bit of a roller coaster moon, I’m sure you guys are going to be just fine as long as you are aware of the shortcomings.
Participant #1:
Yeah. I’m so excited. I love the SAGITTARIUS moon, even though it makes me want to go travel and do things and how it’s not possible at all right now, but it’s not possible at all. But it definitely is going to take some creative brainstorming. I’m going to watch movies on Europe. That’s what I’m going to do. Hit one of those VR glasses and then sit on the couch and be like, soren over California and Disneyland.
Participant #1:
Have some aromatherapy going. The oranges at you and you’re just like, really smells like oranges. I secretly live for that ride and I make my husband go with us every single time. Like, yeah, squirt me in the face of that pine smell. Let’s do it. It smells so good. Every time you walk off that ride, you’re like, wow, I feel amazing. Let’s do it again.
Participant #1:
Every podcast, we pick a random card to talk about hearing others opinions on cards helps us extend our views and maybe even help you find something that resonates with you. So this week, we’re going to talk about the full. And I know you probably have thought you’ve heard it all because everything starts with the full. If you start like a tarot podcast, you’re going to hear about the full first. You start a book, you’re going to hear about the full first. And even if you haven’t finished the book, you at least know all about the full. But hopefully I may include some things you may not have thought about before. And also we will be talking about the world the next podcast, and I’ll explain how those are tied together. So, yeah, definitely listen to the next podcast too. I try. But again, the universal meaning of this card is about fresh starts, new beginnings, and that if you approach this adventure with a sense of optimism and a sense of lightheartedness lightheartedness, anything is possible. Now, my views are somewhat the same, and to me it shows that we have started a new journey by making some big changes in our lives. These changes were most likely endings and we have less things that are no longer serving us. These things are monumental things like leaving a relationship, finishing college, or even like wanting to get your life on track or the cars just telling you that you need to. But our full, he’s holding like a knapsack. And in this napsack, I always like to think that he’s carrying knowledge from his past experiences with him and bringing it with him into the future. He won’t repeat the same mistakes he’s already made and carry on this new path he’s created in a safer manner. The fool is such a whimsical figure. I mean, very theatrical and I really see that as a sign for us to approach the time ahead with excitement and hopefulness. Let your optimism show. And I see the dog, because there is the dog by his view on this card as like a playful figure reminding us how important our inner child is in the act of playing. So try new things and try to keep an open mind when heading forward into your new journey. We don’t know what is going to happen to the full next, so we just have to hope that he and ourselves have the knowledge that we have packed, the knowledge that we have packed, and our optimism will see us through. So what’s your opinion, Robin Deer? I love the fool. I love the fool because he reminds me of children. And you see, maybe not when kids get a little bit older, like school age, but especially toddlers, where they’re not afraid of anything, they just do it. Like, I want to get that cookie off the shelf. Of course, I’ll drag this chair over here and put a box on it and climb up this thing to get up on this unsafe ladder to get the cookie right, or climbing to the top of the tallest, I don’t know, tower or whatever at a playground. Kids don’t have that ingrained sense of fear or failure. They just do it because they want to. And for lack of a better term, society and age and everything else hasn’t worn them down to be afraid of things that maybe logic and reasoning would hold you back from. And the fool, to me, is that fear, it’s being fearless and just saying, you know what? I can do this. And it doesn’t matter what anybody else thinks. I’ve totally got this. And not only have you totally got this, but you do actually. It’s not just in your head because you are so free and not inhibited by just everything around you that even if you don’t have it right away, you’ll keep going and you will get it. Does that make sense? Yeah, that totally makes sense. It’s just being totally fearless and confident and knowing you have it no matter what anybody else thinks and no matter what anything else is going on around you. And I love it. I love the fool so much. Yeah. Self belief is such an important play such an important role in our life when we think like, something is going to fail and we just go, oh, I’m going to fail, I’m going to fail, I’m going to fail. Right? You’re kind of like, manifesting it so going into something like, I’m going to do it. I might fail, but it’s going to be okay. But the solution to me is also more of a witch’s card than the magician. Oh, really? Yeah, because think about studying occult or being wicked, which whatever spiritual path you align yourself with, right? It involves a fringe lifestyle that people are like, what the fuck? Why do you do that? That’s dumb, right? Yeah. Well, it’s you. But to me, it makes perfect sense. You know what I mean? And so it’s one of those situations that you’re doing it anyway, even though people around you might think that that’s stupid or dumb or whatever but it’s like that’s not mine. Even though the magician is obviously like a witch card, I think the school is more so and I think it’s nice. Yeah, because he doesn’t care what other people think. He’s himself like he doesn’t care. Exactly. I love it. Love it. We love it. We love it so much.
Participant #1:
So this week our main topic of discussion we’re going to talk about is predators and the witch community. It is predators. Predators. It’s so unfortunate that these groups of people infect the community and many people think, oh, they’re are not out there. Oh, but they are. There are so many different types. A lot of them can be outright skinheads and incredibly, incredibly, yeah, probably pagan. I feel like one of those horror info things, somebody’s talking and there’s like a graphic on the screen, predators in your area. That’s so funny. Well, we originally meant to talk about this earlier in the season before the virus due to it being upcoming witchy festival season. But with the virus they decided to talk about other things since it really wasn’t prevalent. But the thing is though, these predators are even online and on social media and they try to hook people that way, if that makes sense. It’s obviously, at least in my experience, been more often when you’re actually going to things, but that doesn’t dismiss the fact that this exists online as well. So we just kind of want to talk about some red flags, look out for guys because these sort of people prey on people that are new in their path. So maybe don’t know too much about the social norms and young people and a lot of our listeners, thank you. Spotify demographics are people that are 18 to 22. So even if you haven’t been practicing for a few years, you’re still in that target audience and so we want to talk to you guys about this. As for social media, I feel like there’s a lot of people who see witches as a kink and there are so many who are extremely aggressive about it and leave like lewd comments and DMs. Now there’s nothing wrong with kinks, obviously, but there’s a big difference here. I am not a sex worker. I have so much respect for sex workers and obviously it’s not my line of work and my page has nothing to do with it. And consent is so important and obviously if the person you’re speaking to is married and happily committed, obviously it’s not okay for someone to say something like that. It is okay to leave suggest comments or messages. It is the same thing as cat calling someone on the street. It isn’t okay and it isn’t compliment. And a lot of people like, oh, this person finds me attractive and stuff like that and you end up talking to them and they turn out to be like a total creeper. Some of these predators can sometimes also set up, like, institutions where they put themselves in leadership positions under the guise of teaching magic or even, like, religious institutions. They may be very pushy, and there’s, like, someone who’s always considered in charge. And unfortunately, most of the time, it’s a man who surrounds himself with, like, female figures. Not a coven. It’s a cold. And if festivals do open up this year and it is safe to go, please go in a group and do not wander anywhere alone. From a personal experience, I was lean out and spoken to in a very loud and suggestive manner by a group that were wearing, like, altright pagan gear, then followed me around. If this happens to you, please go up to someone in charge and let them know, well, these bad people are around. You better believe there are loads of good people at that festival who will step up to help. But yeah, what do you have to say? The main thing is that consider it like searching for a covenant, right? Especially in wicca old coven formats used to have and I can’t speak for certain if it’s still happening, but you’d have a high priest and a high priestess and sometimes there would be sex magic involved, right, where especially in the old days, it would be like how you had to sleep with the high priest or whatever. And although that maybe still happens in some covens, that is not don’t believe people if they tell you that that’s how it is. That’s how you have to do it. Now you can go find a covenant that does not make you have sex with anyone, period. Don’t ever think that that is the normal no matter what they tell you. You are hearing it here. No. They also will do things where some of them will ask you for money or kind of be very dismissive and, oh, let me take you under my wing. All that. The main thing is trust your intuition, and if it doesn’t feel right, get out of there. It’s a call. It’s a cult. Tell your dad’s from my favorite murder. I’m quoting that from my favorite murder. Please don’t come from me, guys. But there are so many red flags. And especially when you go to these events, you will find people that are specifically there to find somebody to prey on, to, quote, invite them to their covenant when really they’re inviting you to a cult. Yeah. And under the guise of teaching you too, they’ll be like, we’ll teach you. Give us money. Have sex with us. It’s a cult. There are plenty of amazing events that come out of these things. Like, I know our friend Tricia goes to drum circles and stuff like that in her area after festivals. All that exists and is valid and is amazing. Use good judgment. And if you want to go to something like that, bring a friend or two. So even if you’re on the fence and you’re like, I’ve been invited and I don’t really know. Go ahead and go, but tell someone where you’re going and if possible, bring a friend or two, because you don’t want to get in a situation where you feel like you have no option but to do what they say. It’s really like we were talking about earlier with the adventuring in the SAGITTARIUS full moon. Just use caution, guys. Be safe. When I say an unpopular opinion, be, go for it. We’ll see. If there is a coven at a festival actively looking for people, I feel like it’s a covenant, not like a drum circle, it’s a red flag, because you need people you can trust and know. If you’re joining a covenant, you don’t know anybody and you have no reason to trust them. You can make friends, obviously, there and then they happen to say, oh, this is my coven. Would you want to come? That’s one thing. But if a covenant is specifically going to a pagan festival to recruit people, big red flags, huge popular opinion, I think that that is 100% freaking weird, man. Especially if they have flyers. I’ve seen flyers. Yeah, like, what the fuck? Because even if they’re not predatory, like they’re going to sexually assault you or something crazy like that. If they have flyers, there’s a money tier system involved in that and they’re going to be taken from you some other way. Like, your covenant should be something that you lean on and rely on and makes you feel safe and makes you feel like you have an inner circle that you can grow with. And there’s people that are going to be below you knowledge wise and above you knowledge wise that you can either help or get help from. And together you work as a unit to produce something magical and wonderful. It should not be treated like one of those crazy Baptist church churches that have like, the fucking lights and the big screen TVs and they’re going, Jeez. You should never feel like you have to give these massive amounts of money. That’s predatory. Predatory. Predatory. Like absolute people taking advantage of you. It’s different than the people who the youth groups that come to high schools with their donuts going, hey, kids want a free donut, let’s talk about Jesus. Like, it’s predatory. It’s fucking weird. Just follow your gut. A lot of people think joining these groups and learning through them is like a magic pill and all of a sudden you’re going to know everything there is to know about magic. That’s not true. You’re still going to have to do the work. You’re going to have to learn. It’s going to be a time thing. Just because you’re joining a group, it doesn’t mean all of a sudden you’re going to 100% know all there is to know about magic, right? It doesn’t work that way. Obviously. There’s lots of places that are groups that require a fee, right? Let’s say that it’s because they have an Internet platform that needs to be covered, or they’ve got, I don’t know. Let’s say The Covenant meets up at a rec center, and the rec center costs money, so everybody’s got to pitch in a little bit. But there’s a difference between paying somebody to cover nominal fees versus you give me $100 a week or you give me 5% of your paycheck. These are cult behaviors. Just use caution, use good judgment. And there’s a massive difference between a monthly fee of 1015, 2020 $5 versus literally giving half of your paycheck yeah. Large portions of your paychecks. And you guys might be listening to this and going, that doesn’t happen. Yes, the fuck it does. And the problem is not only does it happen, but you are so deep in it when you realize it’s happening that you realize you’re an occult and there’s nothing you can do. So let’s just avoid it in general.
Participant #1:
So, Robin, what is during your culture this week? Well, I’m so glad you asked. I am obsessed with fairy circles, and not just any fairy circles, but I went down an Internet rabbit hole of these Namibia fairy circles, which are, like, the opposite of what we think of when we think of fairy circles. So a traditional fairy circle is a ring of mushrooms, right? And even though there’s a bunch of folklore attached to them, obviously that’s the name fairy circle. There is an actual scientific understanding of how they happen. Basically, it’s like they find a dead area, typically a place where, like, a tree was or similar, and there’s, like, this tubular sort of connection between these specific mushrooms, and it’s to evenly space them out. And that’s how the fairy circle happens. It’s just something that the mushrooms do kind of on their own, right? The Namibia fairy circles are these arid grass formations. So there’ll be desert grass, like, in this area, right? And it will be dead circles in the grass. So it’ll be a perfect circle of just dirt, and it forms naturally. And they have no idea why it happens. Like, the fungius fairy circles, these Namibia ones, they don’t know why it happens. And there’s, like a bunch of kind of guesses scientific hypotheses, but none of them have been proven. And they think that it might be like these what do they call the sand termites, but they don’t know for certain, right? And the places that they’re found, there will be, like, a hundred of them in, like, one desert field or whatever. You should look this up. It’s the craziest thing. And there’s, like, all these conspiracy theories about aliens and the Bay and local lore and stuff like that. And it is truly the most fascinating thing. I went in a whole hour long Internet search, just, like, looking at these, trying to see it kept being like, Yeah, but someone found out why it is. And I know this isn’t particularly early witchcraft related, but fairy circles are so in. The Faye are such a huge part of witchcraft for a lot of people that I thought it was so interesting when you actually Google ferry circle, the first thing that comes up is not mushroom fairy circles. It’s the Namibia, like, desert fairy circles. And it blew my whole mind because I never even heard of these. I had never heard of them until you brought them up. It’s crazy. Like, if you Google it and they’re gorgeous, they’re gorgeous. They’re so freaking beautiful. And if you look them up so if you look up fairy circle, the first thing comes up is the Namibia ferry circle. And then you have to define a fairy circle. The mushroom one, it’s called fairy ring, parentheses circle. Which is weird because I never heard of it as a fairy ring. So maybe that’s just like a regional thing. Yeah, because I never heard of it called Berry Ring. I might be mistaken, but I think fairy rings are more European way of saying it. I might be mistaken. Do not be like you’re wrong. I am saying I may be. Don’t at me, people. All of a sudden, you have, like, one person. So being well, actually, it happens. There’s just, like, a shit pot of controversy around these fairy circles, and it’s so frigging fascinating because it’s basically, like the opposite of life forming to make a circle. It’s like life dying to create a circle. I love that. Honestly, I feel like magic wise for dead spots like that. I mean, that means you could put all your energy into that circle if you’re doing, like, spell or something like that. I think it would be good if in the places where they are, there’ll be, like, 300 of them spread out. And there’s been all this research, and it’s like some sources say that, like, termite cast. So, like, I don’t know what that is. I’m assuming it’s, like, something that they shed. I’ll be honest, guys, I’m not a bug person, but they’ve been found in, like, something, I think they said 75% or 80% of these rings. But then other places, there’d be, like, a whole field of these fairy circles, and there’d be no termite evidence found. That’s so strange. It’s so weird. So there’s this huge controversy between what is creating it? Is it termites? Is it not termites? One of the theories is that it was like a radar thing. Like, they had done, like, nuclear radar issues or whatever, and it was creating some sort of reaction to the land. It seems very weird for South Africa, though, for sure, but still interesting, necessarily, like, traditionally witchcraft related, but I still thought it was interesting. You’re not supposed to step in a fairy circle, right? You’re supposed to leave. I don’t think so. Yeah, I don’t work with the Faye. I don’t work with the Fay. I do leave forest spirits, like, offerings and stuff like that. But sure. Our forest in South Carolina are so dense, so the chances of finding a fairy circle is slim to none. So I have no reason to look it up. We go morel mushroom hunting here. Granted, we haven’t done it in, like, a year and a half, but we go morel mushroom hunting, and the last time we went out, we were, like, all over the forest, like, everywhere, looking for these mushrooms. And I’ve never seen one, like, a fairy circle, not one time. And our forests aren’t that dense. Yeah, I think it’s just, like, an English thing. Or maybe it’s not. I don’t know. You guys let us know. Do you have fairy circles near you? Do you live in Namibia? And have you seen one? We want to know. Please tell us. Yeah, so I just thought that was so crazy interesting because it’s literally the exact opposite. It’s like taking away life. I want to go see. Me too. Deserts are so beautiful. I do not like deserts. They’re very hot, and I’m very fragile, but I like them as, like, a visual concept. I do not deal with the heat well. I don’t deal with humidity. I can do dry heat, but you put me in humidity and I’m going to pass out. Sure, I can. South Carolina, I can do it. But no thanks. I’m not a fan. I don’t like the heat. I’m very fragile. I get hot in my hands and feet swell. It’s like a whole thing. Anyway, fairy circles, guys. Wow. But seriously, go look it up. I want you guys to tell us what you guys think that it is, because I’m actually very interested this is what I wanted to bring up. I’m very interested to hear what other people’s theories are on this, because I was in such a hole with it. I’m dying to know what you guys think. Yes. Thanks.
Participant #1:
So, Maria, what’s not stirring your cauldron this week? So what is not stirring my cauldron is this mentality that magic has to be harder than it actually is. A lot of witch links and new witches fall into this trope that each spell has to be this huge ritual. I’m talking, like, casting the circle and having all these barefoot contessa herbs at your disposal and making this huge hours and hours of huge undertaking, basically. But that isn’t the case at all. While huge rituals can be undeniably gorgeous and powerful, it doesn’t have to be the go to for every single spell. And especially, it does not have to be done often or even, like, seriously, not even at all, unless you want to. And obviously there are some people who are more than happy to subscribe to this way of thinking and carry on and have long lasting practices. But I can tell you 100% of these people are the exception. Most of us cannot continue on that path. And have sustainable practices, especially with how crazy life is, your magic would be your number one thing for every single day of your entire life. And that’s just unrealistic. That’s a good way to burn out, too. Yeah. Most of these people think they have to do these things. They will get burned out so fast and feel so overwhelmed with their practice, they end up quitting early on. Yeah,
Participant #1:
I’m sure it’s an accidental happen chance that that happens. Wow. Happy chance that happens. Come on, Robin. But it sure is accidental that people maybe give off this vibe or this idea, but it is really easy to get sucked into it and think, oh, God, I have to do this and I have to do that, and I better get my pebbles out so I can make my stone circle. And I mean, I’m not going to sit and pretend like I don’t do that, but I definitely don’t do it every time. It’s maybe once a month, maybe. Yeah. Most of my spells are legit. Like, take me 10 seconds. It’s something as simple as, like, stirring my coffee a certain way and saying an intention over the coffee. It’s lighting a candle on my altar and being like, this is why I’m lighting it. The thing is, with practices, we want to create lifelong, sustainable practices. It’s like a lifestyle change. Like, let’s say you’re starting to get healthy and stuff like that. If you’re not eating enough and there’s eating way too healthy where you’re not letting yourself indulge here and there, and then you end up quitting. Like this healthy lifestyle that you wanted to go after because you’re like I don’t know, it’s just you set the standard in the bar way too freaking high that it’s impossible to keep up with. And everybody does that on occasion by mistake. Don’t beat yourself up. Like, it’s okay and realistically, shake it off and let’s move forward. Yeah. And as I said, spells can be super simple. And that’s okay. It doesn’t make them any less powerful or anything. It’s just and then also, don’t feel like you have to cast a circle for every single spell you do. As long as you are in your sacred space and you feel safe where you’re at. Like, let’s say that your home. Like, you love your home and you know it’s protected because you do threshold stuff, like you lay salt and cinnamon at your doors. That’s what I do. Personally. You have some amazing energy in your home. You have amazing energy in your home, so you can trust your home. You don’t have to do these crazy things in order to set up spells. Don’t burn yourself out. Yeah. Just like they don’t burn your house down. Witches. Don’t burn yourselves out. Witches. Oh, I love that. That’s so cute. I’m just like, what can you say? Just come up with really great little quips. Just whenever. Yeah, Twitter that and then post it to your Instagram, because that’s a thing right now. Twitter. I’m a 57 year old woman. I’m going to sign everything. X. Robin.
Participant #1:
I love it.
Participant #1:
Just like every week, we have a little section at the end here for creators that we are loving right now. These are people that we are just finding organically on our own, and we think they’re pretty cool. That being said, these are not paid for ads. These are not people requesting, so please don’t ask. Let us just find stuff organically, and we will be sharing it as we find it. We think you guys will think it’s pretty cool. So, Em, what’s our first creator this week? So I’ve been following nonan lemon lemon. I’ve probably said that on Instagram for a while now.
Participant #1:
As you guys know, I’m a photographer, so I always have a deep appreciation for great photographers. And they are such a great photographer who takes stunning witch portraits. They are so creative, and I get all the magical feelings by looking at them. She’s been doing this, like, portrait series with witches near a bonfire, and they’re, like, dark and gorgeous. Like, the eyes are all glowing because of the fire, and it’s just I love it, and it makes me want to pull out my camera and do some portraits. So I love photographers who inspire me to do that. I’m very into their color palette as well. It’s, like, red and purples and grays, and it’s very, like, things that you wouldn’t think that would work, but they work. Yeah, it works. It’s like sunset is the color palette, and I’m a color palette freak before I even go into decorating a room. I’m like, but what’s our vibe? What’s the color palette vibe? And that’s the art. Kidding me, right? Hi, art school dropout. Nice to meet you. I dig the color palette that they use, and just the entire vibe of it is really nice. It’s very dark, but also warm, and I like it. I like it so much. Plus, they play a lot with lightning bolts, and I think that’s pretty cool. It’s fire, it’s lightning. It’s like all the uncontrollable parts of nature is a huge key element, a theme that they consistently repeat. Yeah. I don’t know. I want to take pictures like that. They’re so pretty. Pictures like that. Oh, no. I have my own little we all have our strength, my little style. Yeah. I would get so many prints from them and put them up on my wall because beautiful. I didn’t even think about that. Do they sell prints? Let’s see. I have it up. They do have a website, and it says printing products available. Yes. All right. Color me convinced. But yeah, you guys should definitely check them out because they’re beautiful. They’ll inspire you to go do some spellwork and to make you feel powerful, and, like, anything is possible. Yeah. So, Robin, what are you digging? I am digging this. I’m sure a lot of you guys have seen them, if you follow me on Instagram, because I share their stuff all the time. It’s dirt, work, ceramics. I found them on TikTok originally, like six months ago, something like that. And they are a ceramic artist who does teacups and mugs and stuff, but also practical use witchcraft tools. Like, they make this it’s like a sage holder or just any kind of cleansing wand holder, I guess would be more appropriate to say if you have a smoke. Cleansing wand. It’s basically a crescent moon on a dish that you can lean your herb wand onto while it’s smoking. It’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. I love it. We have a teacup where the what’s it called? The little strainer you put your loose sleeves in is shaped like the strainer moon. Yeah, it’s shaped like the triple moon, and the full moon has got the holes in it so you can strain it through. Just so freaking cool, man. I have a really big mug problem.
Participant #1:
Yes. If you know anything about me, guys, you would know that I have a problem with mugs worse than my tarot card problem. And my husband wishes I didn’t. He makes me get rid of two every six months because I buy that many that it doesn’t make a difference. No, it’s fine. It’ll be one to have chips in them or like you know what I mean? I have to either get rid of them or retire. It so retiring, it means that it doesn’t get used anymore, and we’ll go on like a top shelf. So I don’t need to get rid of it, but I need to stop putting in circulation because I buy so many. I have so much respect for ceramic artists because creating ceramic pieces is so hard and so difficult. The failure rate is so high, and so just how much work goes into these little coffee cups of art, it’s crazy. It’s crazy. And her designs are like, gorgeous. Stunning. Stunning. Oh, my God, I want them all. She has a series that has like, nebula prints, I guess, or like a space sky, maybe. Nebula might not be the right word, but it’s really freaking pretty. And I’m just like little Milky Way. Yeah, milky Ways. Girl, I was close. You were? I was close enough. But yeah, they’re really pretty. And she does a lot of, like, not only mugs, but just practical stuff that you could use on your altar, offering dishes, incense holders, herbal wand holders, et cetera. And they’re all super pretty and yeah, you guys should definitely look them up. I agree.
