Masha Poppins

Once upon an oldey timey story, Masha Poppins explained to me (the era of blogs) this -sha is a common suffix for Russian diminutive names, like Natasha, Masha (for Maria), Sasha (for me).
At that time, she showed this lovely painting by Argentian artist Clau Degliuomini



Today, I was trying to contact her again, and she showed me these wonderful paintings by @Ashu














Great Wheel of the Year - Spirit Colors


Mi Amor, igual que hace cientos de años me dijiste que esa visión de ollas y cazuelas en la cocina era cosa mía, Tú qué me ves haciendo? cómo me visionas como brujita? haciendo. en el futuro. En nuestra casita. En el bosque.
sabes? estaba tomando mi cacao al sol. No me apetece ir a ninguna parte, porque alejarme de aquí es salir del verde y meterme en el ruido y el consumismo. Creo que antes de llegar aquí, hacía tiempo que me cuestionaba esto, y que quería alejarme. Sólo llevo 1 año y medio en una casita. Esto es lo que siento, así que honraré el proceso, y confiaré en el viaje. Y. He pensado que me voy a ir hoy yo solita a la montaña escarpada que tengo por aquí. Porque me he dado cuenta de que echo de menos un bosque que salir a recorrer, donde andar. Y entonces he pensado que, mientras, aprovecharé lo que tengo ahora y aquí a mano.
por cierto, qué risa! Mira

Color Wheel of Life

Full Moon in Libra: The Union of Venus and Mars

Aries/Libra Full Moon: You take the lead

If you’ve followed astrology for a bit, you’ve probably heard Venus and Mars referred to as the cosmic lovers, forever chasing each other in the sky and bending the dynamics of the masculine/feminine polarity; this is more of a metaphysical expression of yin and yang, shiva and shakti, consciousness and form-giving potential). And with the energetic principle of “love” and “war” momentarily uniting to balance out Libra’s scales. When the Sun is under the constellation of Aries, it puts the Full Moon in Libra. Ever direct and to the point, the Aries Sun, the epitome of springtime energy bursting forth, making such a grand entrance, marching in like a lion, like a bull in a china shop, wants a much simpler answer than the endlessly deliberating Libra Moon is ready to give. Aries always says: You have only one life and who cares what happens? jump, risk, be bold; Libra says: peace at all costs, stay comfortable and do not rock the boat, wait, why take an impulsive jump into the abyss when I can find comfort right here in the familiar? Which will it be?
Draw your hands to your heart. Massage this area. Imagine that you have become a Full Moon goddess, capable of balancing the earth and harmonizing its opposing forces. In particular you are tuned to the energies of Aries and Libra, the complementary energies of “me” and “we.” Aries wonders, “Who am I?” Libra wonders, “Who are you—and how can we work together?” Aries is adventurous, individualistic, and trailblazing. Through Aries we feel our existence as an independent being, capable of taking action, without needing approval or support. Libra is harmonizing, beautifying, and partnership-oriented. Its primary purpose is sharing—ideas, experiences, space—with others. Aries and Libra are opposing signs, but together they make for a balanced world. Our Libran ability to relate to others is diminished without a secure sense of our own identity. Our Aries efforts are unsuccessful when we alienate others and are uncooperative. Full Moons bring an opportunity to balance and harmonize its opposing signs. Too much Aries and we’re combative, self-absorbed, impatient. Too much Libra and we’re indecisive, uncommitted, people-pleasing.
For the center of this ritual, imagine that the forces of Aries and Libra come to life in their archetypal form—as the Warrior and the GoddessAs you breathe in the weakness of each of these archetypes, you will breathe out the healing strength of the other.In this way, you will reconcile and balance these energies within yourself around the globe. Your sacred work has that power. Believe in it! Find a comfortable rhythm working with the images and your breath. Repeat the statements until you feel a transformation. 

    Aphrodite and Ecology: The Goddess of Love as Nature Archetype

    In earlier times, Venus was the vegetation goddess of gardens, vineyards, animals and April-babies, associated with the arrival of spring. She represented fertility, domesticity and prosperity. Venus meant ‘charm’ and grass and flowers sprang up wherever her feet touched the earth. Venus was also the patrones of food and wine. When Roman culture spread, the early Latin goddess became deliberately mingled with the sexualized Aphrodite, and thus took on aspects of her Greek counterpart (as well as of the Etruscan Deity Turan). Her name is also linked to the tiny pre-historic Goddesses found throughout Europe including the famous Venus of Willendorf.

    The Goddess of Love’s archetypal resonance (used here in a Jungian sense, representing a collective, inherited, unconscious pattern of behavior, thought, or image) evokes themes vital to ecopsychology. Aphrodite’s myths and ancient rituals promoted new life and regeneration.

    *Planet: Venus
    *Alchemy: Copper

    Aphrodite, 1902. Oil on canvas. Briton Riviere.

    There clad herself in garments beautiful
    The laughter loving goddess. Gold-adorned
    She hasted on her way down Ida’s Mount,
    Ida, the many-rilled, mother of wild beasts
    And in her train, the grey wolf and the bear,
    the keen eyed lion and the swift footed pard,
    that hungers for the kind, all fawning came.

    Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite

    Initially venerated as a vegetation goddess of vines and gardens, also a fertility spring (the maiden) goddess, and thus, her offspring coming in the form of ideas, crafts, etc., a deity of beauty, eternal love, blissful laughter and youth, a goddess of home and hearth, wild nature and beasts (Mylitta, Tabiti...), she was later perverted into a pagan matroness of lust, sex and promiscuity by the Roman Catholic Church.

    Ostara Full Moon
    Romans celebrated 
    the festival of Veneralia on April 1, and subsequent resurrection three days later.

    An alchemist and her instruments.  Copper is associated with Venus energy, typically known as love, romance, charm, beauty. Venus is also about values, sensuality, harmony, softening, self-love and unconditional caring for all. I think a copper still adds it’s own Venus magic into the hydrosol.... Rose distilled in copper is absolutely lovely. This makes the hydrosols the slightest bit “heavier” energetically, but quite worth it for many reasons or if you follow a specific lineage. Copper also helps to relieve the sulfur plants initial stink.  I’m the type who throws myself deep into what grabs my interest. I’ve been distilling years still remain infatuated and intrigued.#distilling #hydrosols

    Today in the apothecary - lots of new music and distilling with the copper goddess. I typically only use the copper alembic on Fridays for a little extra Venus energy......

    Inhale the magic, exhale the stars ✫*¨`*✶

    Once upon a time I found my home in numinous orange, ochres straight from the ore of mama juju, and red colors like plum, berry, aubergine, burgundy, maroon, wine, coral, or red heart soft color yarns like dusty rose or rose blush. I feel a kind of soul activation whenever I can marinate in them. But it's ORANGE at its core. I guess it's a fire + earth melange, like venusian copper or terracotta. As Above, So Below. Between Fire and Earth. Sun Sign and Moon Sign. Mars and Venus. (♎)

    ¿ERES ESPECIAL?

    ¡Sí, mucho! 😋

    mira, se me acabó hace un tiempo.. una maravilla de vainilla bourbon que conseguí en una tiendecita en la pl. progrès de Terrassa
    madre mía, no sabía que esta marca tb tiene esto. Además de vainilla bourbo, tienen curry (mmm! me pirra), nuez moscada (ahh me encanta con mi cacao), hojas de laurel enteras, y canela en rama
    Lo estoy viendo todo aquí: https://www.biotea.es/especias

    *Judging the moment*

    Put A Spell On You, like what do you REALLY want? That thing that you need. That you crave. That thing you obsses about (or ignore and deny completely depending on whether or not you have an avoidant personality type). Say. It. Out. Loud. And let this be your first step at vibing on the same frequency so you can attract it. Have you heard of "afformations"? (not "affirmation"!!!! Totally different) Try it! Be brave yo! - Why ...?

    Quiero una casita de unos 80m2 (como la casita azul de Marie Nikić, que tenía unos perfectos 83-84m2), soleada, apartadita (hedgewitchcraft), sobre plano, con un terreno de circa 800m2 me basta, asentada sobre la tierra, si tuviera una buhardilla sería un sueño, con un porche me basta (los porches me gustan), o que en vez de dos abajo, tenga uno frontal jiji (eso también me encantaría), con un baño también me basta (de hecho, me gusta más a pesar de las ventajas de tener dos), y que, teniendo en cuenta los gastos desorbitados que hemos tenido en los últimos tres años y medio largos, y los planes de futuro que tenemos, nos suponga un alquiler de 600-700 € al mes.


    Samanta Vega Díaz The East direction embodies the color yellow, spring, the sun, fire, children, sacred tobacco, and the Eagle Wabun Spirit Keeper of the East Wind. Thus it brings us the lesson of responsible relationships and the magic of higher vision and prophecy. This direction is the way of determination, illumination, enlightenment, innocence, and imagination. It influences your life goals, emotions, and journeys. It is also the “direction” of the dreamworld. The Thunderbird Clan is associated with the Budding Trees Moon (March 21 to April 19), the Ripe Berry Moon, (July 23 to Aug 22), and the Long Snows Moon (Nov 22 to Dec 21), and Fire is the sacred possession of the Clan. The Thunderbird Clan is ruled by three colors - amethyst, red, and scarlet. Its stone totem is Lava rock. In general red crystals have brought many wonders to the Thunderbird Clan. Seek out red crystals and wear them often. It is believed they are the essence of love in crystal form, as are all red crystals. Some members of the Thunderbird clan seem to be people of paradox. Like fire, they can be warming or destroying. Just as the fire element, the tribe members smile radiantly until something aggravates them. Their moods easily fluctuate. The Thunderbird Clan is a clan of intense energy. The Thunderbird Clan will help you to sort out your uses of power and your priorities. This clan will help you through your journey of change to a brighter and better lifestyle.

    Samanta Vega Díaz "To be honest this elements scares me to death because its my true elements. Am scared of burning people, myself and my own being. And I did these before. All the freakin time. But alas despite all this, I know in fire I become my trueself. Burn with passion and so alive. The heat has always have me craving and I breath through. I felt like a phoenix learning to breath in my own dust and bones in order to fly. Oh dear, its intense. I felt like am burning alive to reach my own truth and purified. Still processing this #fireelement since last night, it release and calibrating all over my body. This fire felt like purification. This fire is making me feeling alive and rising. While at the same time the heat is excruciating for all the old pattern, baggage, trauma, wound, self sabotage. Am taking a slow night and reflect on my senses. Taking the effect of my own medicine and find rest within. How to save yourself from burning🔥🔥🔥? By moving through it. Bloody dance to it." Thank you, sister Astrid Reza
