Welcome to the Witch’s Garden! – Summer Collection

08/15/2024 Mòrwenna Artio Comments 0 Comment

I had a totally different blog planned for today, but as often happens, my creative process has taken an unexpected turn. The creation of my Tarot Deck is my primary focus right now, consuming most of my time and energy. While I’ve been fully immersed in this passion project, other plans and habits, including writing, have been gently pushed aside. This ebb and flow of creativity is something I’ve come to embrace, even if it means setting aside plans in…

Witchy Wonders Await – Sneak Peek at the Summer Collection

08/08/2024 Mòrwenna Artio Comments 0 Comment

Imagine standing at the threshold of a quaint, hidden cottage deep into the woods. It’s the middle of a beautiful, warm day and sunlight filters through the dense canopy above you, casting dappled shadows on the soft moss covering the ground. Birds sing in the distance, a gentle murmur that seems to bring the entire forest to life. The air is thick with the scent of wildflowers, drawing you along the path home. Your intuition tells you that, just perhaps,…

I Changed all of my Plans

07/25/2024 Mòrwenna Artio Comments 0 Comment

I did! I changed all the plans I recently made, which is kind of a scary thing to do, if you ask me! So how did that happen? Well, let’s just say that all my priorities shifted over the last month, and as a result, Tarot of a Forest Witch, my most recently published deck, took the front seat once again. That’s right: I am actively working on creating the full 78-card version. And call me crazy, but I fully…

Things don’t always go according to plan – just look at me not posting here for a month! But challenges and technical issues aside, I still enjoy setting up goals and making plans for the future, as you can tell from the title of this post. And life has been good lately! Spring has caught me into its net of colorful wildflowers and warm afternoon hikes, and I’ve been busy as a bee simply enjoying life. Making memories with loved…

Taking a Short Break!

Hey there! I’m just popping here for a minute to let you know that I’m taking this week off. I’ve got family visiting from France so we’re going to make the most out of their stay here. Cross your fingers for sunny days so that we can show them how beautiful the Pacific Northwest and Cascade Mountains are! I’ll do my best to get next week’s post ready for you, in which I’ll talk about my creative plans and goals…

Embracing Green Witchery – Working with Plant Allies

05/16/2024 Mòrwenna Artio Comments 0 Comment

I have a confession to make: for the majority of my witchy practice, I’ve steered clear of any books about Green Witchery, particularly when the content is focused on giving lists of magical correspondences. I cannot comprehend for the life of me how a Living Being could be reduced to that, a series of broad and often obnoxiously repetitive properties. Not kidding, reading some of the material relating to that topic, it seems at time that basically any plant can…

April Showers, May Flowers – The Magic of Rain (YouTube)

05/11/2024 Mòrwenna Artio Comments 0 Comment

Rain is integral to the essence of the Pacific Northwest; it’s part of this Land’s personality. Since moving here, I’ve grown to love this type of weather. The sound of raindrops tapping at the window, sometimes in the softest voice, sometimes with a vibrant intensity that makes you feel alive and wildly energized. There is profound beauty to be found in rain: the scent of wet earth rising in the air, the rippling patterns in a puddle, the light shining…

Rhododendron Reverie – A Witch’s Journey of Discovery

05/09/2024 Mòrwenna Artio Comments 1 comment

I’m falling in love with a new plant. New to me, at least. I’m afraid to admit that I had absolutely no idea what wonderful, gorgeous creatures rhododendrons are! Someone should have told me! Also, I just learned that Pacific Rhododendron is the designated flower of Washington State… where I’ve been living for almost 6 years! Someone. Should. Have. Told me! A lot of rhodies have established their root in my yard. Trying my best to ignore all the adorable…

Preorders for Tarot of a Forest Witch are Open!

05/02/2024 Mòrwenna Artio Comments 0 Comment

Folks, I have the immense pleasure to announce that the preorders for Tarot of a Forest Witch have gone live!! I’ve been waiting for this moment to happen since the beginning of the year, when I finished painting the cards. I spent many hours daydreaming, picturing in my mind’s eye what it would feel like to have my own Tarot Deck out into the world (it’s absolutely wild!). At the same time, I still can’t believe I actually created a…
