Last year or so, I started a Big Project: I wanted to create a Lenormand Oracle for myself. First it started as a wooden set, since it is my favorite tool and support to use in my Craft (whether Artistic or Spiritual), with small pictures and symbols representing the 36 elements of this divination system. But then, as I was coming back to illustration and experimenting with walnut ink on paper, it became actual paintings. It’s been a slow process,…
Some of the Divination Tools I like to use are my trustworthy Ogham and Rune Sets. I possess a few of them, made from different material, and I tend to use each of them for different purposes. My Seven Seas Ogham set for instance, made out of beach glass that I gathered on holidays, is used in a completely different manner than my Tiger’s Eye Set. But the ones that I love and use the most – and it’s not…
It’s been a journey. I mean it, it’s been a year-long journey. But here we are, finally, and I’m so excited about it that I literally can’t stay in place right now. I started to write at my desk upstairs, then switched to my morning table beside the window (the very spot where I usually find peace – but not today apparently), and finally moved to the couch, where I’m now enjoying a sweetilicious cup of coffee (’cause you know,…
And it was great as you’d suspect 🙂 A bit tiring though, we didn’t have much time to rest between all the different places we visited. We played it like real tourists: we took a ferry to cruise the bay under a Glorious Sun, visited different parts of the City like Chinatown and Le Castro and went to the top of Coit tower to have an overview of everything around us, we rode bikes through the Golden Gate bridge all…
I believe that ultimately […] we should take time to explore our local landscape and locate our personal places of power. That we should try to find out how to start a conversation with them. Barry Patterson – The Art of Conversation with the Genius Loci I’m currently rereading this book for the third time and, as usual, I couldn’t agree more. This particular sentence always hit me and, oddly enough, it illustrates perfectly what I’ve been up to these…
First of all, let me wish you a happy new year 2019. May it be as sweet as possible, full of enchantment, poetry, and lots of nature walks ♥ Ok, let’s go straight to the question that many of you asked me, with good reason: when will I reopen the shop? Unfortunately, I can’t confirm a specific date yet. For administrative reasons among other things, but mostly because I realized that I didn’t want to go too fast, and rush…
More than a month before moving my workshop studio to the US territory, and there’s still a significant change to do, partly because I want to make a small favor to you, my fellow English speakers. Lune de Sève is certainly not the easiest one to pronounce, right? So I decided to change it and to continue with Wildera! Most of the social platforms where you can usually find me have already been updated with their new name. I’m…
Hi everyone! A few weeks ago I had to shorten the duration of the Winter Sales on the shop because of my unexpected absence. Most of my clients didn’t really have the chance to enjoy the massive reductions I was offering at the moment: up to -50% on most of my handmade creations. I was hoping that this could help me to reduce the number of things I would have to bring with me to the USA, but obviously, things…
Ok, so… I have a big announcement to make. I mean, a huge one. And as usual, I don’t really know where to begin. Maybe I can start with a pretty photograph so you can have some sort of clue on what this is all about. Yep, just came back to my workshop, and here I am, preparing myself for a trip. I’m quite busy with all th… – A trip, really? That’s your idea of a huge news?– Ok,…
If I set something aside for enough time, I find it kind of hard and stressful when it’s time to go back to it. And it’s obviously more difficult when this thing is a public one: I put a lot more pressure on myself when people are expecting something from me. Isn’t it weird to come back just like that after all these weeks of silence? I don’t really know how to begin, so please forgive me if my speech…
