This week I wanted to talk about my latest drawing, the inspiration behind ‘Born of the stars’ (A4 paper, graphite and acrylic). ‘Born of the stars’ 2020 Graphit and acrylic on A4 paper As regular readers and instagram followers (@oneseeingghost) will know, I became a mum for the first time last August. My beautiful daughter, Rose, is now 8 months old, and is changing every day. This drawing has come from a transition into becoming a mother, with a new understanding of what I

We’ve probably all heard about salt baths, and seen the products available when browsing the shelves of our local health shops and super markets. Advertised almost as a spa treatment at home, that a soak in a salt bath can moisturize skin, soothe aching muscles and help flush toxins out of the body. A warm salt bath can ease stress and calm the body and mind, perfect after a long day! Himalayan salt is light pink in colour and contains over 80 minerals However, in witchcraft

We are all told to give our thanks, but how many of us remember to give thanks to the smallest of things? It was some years ago that I first heard about gratitude, as in writing down what we are thankful for each day, as a tool for self help and spirituality. Yet, it wasn’t until late last year when I bought myself a fancy journal that I began to make it a daily thing. (Admittedly, I’ve had a wobble of late, days, or a week would go by without writing anything as life has ove

Blue celestite cluster I love crystals! I love to look whenever we go past a metaphysical shop, and I often end up buying something. They are so beautiful, and even if you don’t believe they hold healing abilities, I’m sure it can be agreed that they are amazing in their colours and formations. I remember the first time I came across crystals and their healing properties. I was around 8 years old, and on a family holiday, somewhere in the UK. We had gone to a small theme park

I started mediating many years ago now, back sometime in my teenage years. I’d heard about it’s benefits, particularly health wise, and as I was struggling with depression (and the other mental health related difficulties that go along with that) I decided to try. Throughout the years, I have dipped in and out of practice. I have mostly engaged with guided meditations that I found on Youtube, such as meeting your guardian angel, though have also mediated independently. When I

Rose quartz guardian angel painting hanging in my daughters bedroom This week I’d like to share with you a little craft I made for my daughter using a beautiful rose quartz guardian angel – suitably a rose for my little Rose. Crystals are not only stunning natural formations, it is also believe that they hold an energetic frequency that brings healing qualities to our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. Rose quartz is well known for being a ‘love’ stone, for bri

I’ve found it tricky to get back into drawing – a combination of inspiration block (due to the whirlwind of life taking over) or not having enough time with being a first time mum to a nearly 6 month old baby. Throw in my enthusiasm to do a million projects (because now when time is limited I am full of ideas and decide that I have to give them all a go, such as hand embroidering a christmas stocking for my daughter, writing and illustrating a keep sake story book for her asw

My miniature Angel altar. It was an early morning, and after I’d fed my daughter, she went back to sleep as she usually does. She tends to catnap in the day, so will sleep more after waking for her first milk in the morning. I have a couple hours to myself then – get the bottles and dishes in the washer, get her clothes out for the day, get myself dressed and have breakfast. I enjoy the peacefulness of the early hours at dawn, and try to do something productive that’s good fo

Hello everyone! So it has been a lot longer then I had anticipated since my first (and last) post. I had hoped to make blogging a weekly practice. I do understand it is a learning curve, and over the past week and half (maybe nearly two weeks) I have felt very ill and needed to have a break, from everything. As we approach the middle of January, the sky is getting lighter, and I look forward to being able to make the most of the natural light to photograph my drawings – I hav
