FULL SNOW MOON – SORROW AND KINDNESS
by angeliska on February 25, 2013
The Snow Moon of February is waxing, rising: also know as Storm Moon, Hunger Moon, Bony Moon and Little Famine Moon. In most places, this is the month of the heaviest snows, the harshest weather, and the hardest hunting. This (…)
Perchta
by angeliska on January 6, 2013
Pandora Gastelum of The Mudlark Confectionary and The Mudlark Public Theatre lovingly created this incredible art doll of the Two-Faced Goddess Perchta for my birthday last year, and I’ve been meaning to share both images of her creation and her (…)
August Gifts
by angeliska on August 20, 2012
I found this little bird on the ground in my yard, at the end of a particularly hard day. I cradled him in my hand and brought him inside. He looks like I’ve been feeling, lately. I’m so thankful for (…)

by angeliska on August 1, 2012

by angeliska on August 17, 2011
Post photoshoot glitter & grime – from a beautiful adventure with the marvelous Darla Teagarden. The Tiger’s Wife, by Téa Obreht – I’m almost finished with it. It’s so good it makes me kind of sick. Ramona, my love – (…)

by angeliska on June 21, 2011
I kneel in the night on a high hill in the back country, I bow my head, and make this fervent wish, with the memory of green tendrils wrapped around my heart, squeezing there, holding me fast against the earth. (…)
