Spent some time recently playing with the prism in my windowsill again.

I hope you all have a lovely evening with adventurous dreams. :)

For #WorldSnakeDay:

Rattlesnake Gorget, 16th c.

Mississippian artist, Tennessee

Carved shell

Brooklyn Museum display

“The rattlesnake depicted abstractly on this shell gorget or pendant is a denizen of the underworld, a watery realm associated with death and other supernatural beings, such as the serpent and panther.

For Mississippian people, their trilevel universe also included an upper world, represented by the sun, fire, and a falcon being, and a middle world of earth occupied by human beings. Whelk shells traded from the Gulf Coast region were used to make ritual ornaments worn for ceremonies intended to keep the three realms in balance.”

⚔️ Happy Sword Sunday! ⚔️

Today I’m really excited to share the first of many photos taken from the field at Midsummer.

I cannot express how good it felt to be back with a sword in hand, or how proud I am of the team for all the hard work they put in.

A huge thank you to Liv F.H. for capturing this moment between Sarah F, and myself during the first weekend.

Here’s to all my sword siblings. May your swords never rust, and your chain be bite-free.

Much love! ❤️
