Lately I’ve been craving a good storm. I don’t want it to pose danger to anyone but
for someone reason I need a storm. It
already feels like spring or really like summer though it is not yet Ostara.
You can do such potent magical things with Lightning Water but you need a
strong storm to be able to collect the water. In my book, “Sticks, Stones,
Roots and Bones,” I write a lot about proper collection of the different types
of waters for magickal intentions and found during my research that I was
especially fascinated by some West African collection techniques of the Ibo
people. I was looking through my things
and noticing that I still have some Tennessee Lightning water sent by a good
friend who is very spiritual. I wonder
how potent it is now? It is bottled in a brown bottle so it probably has
maintained much of its power and I know it was sent with good intentions. I need to make some powerful changes in my
environment and have a good feeling that I need fresh Lightning Water to spark
these changes. For now, we are promised
rain and a storm near my area but it has not materialized. I call this drawing “Warm
Front Meets Cold Front,” for obvious reasons. It is designed to work as a charm
to conjure a storm.
When I first became a blogger it was difficult to know if I had readers and visitors coming to my blog. I’d post and be met by the sounds of crickets. Then, I branched out into the world of the blogosphere, a world I didn't know really existed. From my ventures, I met a lot of interesting bloggers. I've started following and commenting on numerous blogs, for you see, prior to my outings, I too was out among the crickets. Lurking about but seldom saying anything. A fellow blogger I've met through my journeys around the blogosphere is Melissa Maygrove . She had the brilliant idea to have a Follow Fest , where we share about who we are, what we do and most importantly, how you can connect with us further. It is my intention through joining Follow Fest, that I’ll connect with many more readers and people interested enough in what I do to want to learn more by following. So, here goes my entry for the fest. Name: Stephanie Rose Bird Fiction or
your drawing evokes the chaos and the warmth and coldness of a storm. I see that clearly. Very interesting story. I never heard of Lightening Water and am intrigued by the power it may hold. Visiting from CED :)
ReplyDeleteHey Kristen from CED. Yes Lightning Water is very potent and it is relatively easy to obtain. I'm so glad the intent of my drawing is clear to you. Loving CED, aren't you?
DeleteThere is such a powerful feeling in a storm that only comes with the clouds and rain for me. Love the way your drawing shows the clash of warm and cold.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carolyn. Since our weather has been so mysteriously warm I've been very inspired to record its activities in my art.
ReplyDeleteStorms (without danger) can be really spectacular and give such an amazing energy! I love your picture and I think it captures this force beautifully
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
