Taion the Gnome
@taionthegnome
A gnome that wanders the upper Midwest. I love my Wife, Hekate, used book stores, coffee shops, the woods, and rivers, especially rivers. I write Haiku, make art, read esoteric books, and ponder. I strive to ever be a Student. But mainly just a weird dude
Behold our 200 dollar Tomato!!! All the rest are free .... Aggressive depreciation
#Witchsky My wife and I lit a hagcandle outside last night. Hagcandles are mullein and Bees wax. They are said to call spirits. Are these pics proof of that? No. Could it be camera weirdness? Yes. Could it be Spirits? Yes. Could it both? Yes. Is it cool as hell? I think so. @bhuidhe.bsky.social
I finished and submitted my manuscript so I did an Anubis carving. Pretty happy with how it turned out as it's been a few months. #WitchSky
My eldest had been wanting a raccoon skull for a while. Today the river provided. Just a little clean up.
Apparently this is what my kids see when they look at me. My Eldest took the Pic my Art Major doctored it with their digital art skills
Following a thread. Used books. Following Myth to Gnosis and Gnosis to Myth
The handle Tommy moka pot broke off, so I repaired it with a busted spatula. Feels like an upgrade. I find this way more delightful than I should but it brings me joy.
#WitchSky My bride is one of those Sunshine in her hands Witches
#WitchSky Inspired by PDM lxi 63-78 For a dream message from Thoth No laurel leaf so I did a print of a laurel leaf and what goes on the leaf with a sigil created from the moons planetary square. The moon is associated with leaves.
#WitchSky I have been wanting to do a lino of the Mesopotamia fellas with Fish on their heads for a while now.
For Amulets or Phylacteries I write them up and place sigils and or Iconography. Then say the spell seeing the words enter the amulet. I then breath the spell into it all and see it settle into the words and images see pic for an example. I try to always have a candle and vessel of water at minimum
I don't know if I have ever seen a forecast of 1-2 feet of snow before
It gets really complicated really fast in my experience once you try to move beyond the Chaldean rhythm of time. I have had a lot of success using the Chaldean Days and hours. And now with phone apps and websites it's really easy to see the timing.
My two favorite are a bronze knife I had made by an artist I told to do what he thought was best. The other is an ironwood staff from sweat lodge cast offs that I put a saw tuning hammer head on. The hammer head is from a place generations of my family have worked and ties to my mundane job.
#WitchMadness Catch up Day 7 prompt. The picture is the charm of protection I have been using to guard windows and doors for 25 years with great success. It's simple and uses the energy of the Sun and Moon to power it. I know now that it means Malkuth if you remove the dots. I lucked into it.
#WitchSky Not sure if I am making a tarot deck but I am enjoying making the art
Sometimes you need to make an icon. Mary will always have a special place in my heart even though I am not Christian #WitchSky
