Tony is currently digging us out from the foot-plus snow and ice accumulation from #blizzardelsa here in north-central Wisconsin. @radicalmoonlove 's Aruna sits nice and snug up by the chicken coop. Meteorological spring started on March 1, but dear Mother seems to be in a winter mood. 🌬️🥶

It's been mostly freezing mist here after some overnight snow.
Forecast is for up to a foot of new snow for us on top of the ice, and the wind is picking up, so 🤞🤞the power stays on.
Stay safe and warm out there, friends.

Caryatis Golden Yellow- Medium Weighted Silk Veil
late summer flowers greet you as you walk thru a field of humming, buzzing, life. The sumptuous golden yellow hues greet you and brighten your mood, as you deepen your awareness of levity of soul and your own personal power to change your own life.
We are all connected, we are all wild. Yellow gold reminds of the sovereignty of the sun, the alchemical gold that resides within each of us. This spacious silk veil brings summer sunshine and dancing flowers into any moment you pull it out, connecting space and time outside of linear constructions.
Gold reminds of our divinity & worth, and yellow gold connects us to solar plexus where our power & fortitude center at our belly and lung connection.
You are magic.
You are what you are seeking - You are the art.
Each weighted silk veil is a unique art piece, created by Gaea Lady (assisted by Laine Bones). This style of ‘flow prop’ is designed to get you out of your head and into your body by enveloping both dancer and viewers in high quality Chinese silk. It is accessible to beginners, yet offers complexity for years and years of devoted explorations & refinement. The weighted edge ‘leads’ the rest of the veil, offering more direction than just a silk veil itself. A whole flow-losophy has emerged out of Gaea’s experience with this prop, and she teaches online via classes & tours sharing it. Versatile: costume, garment, skirt, cape, wrap ; as a decorative element in the home ; and as flow prop that can be used in a myriad of ways. (This design is the product of 10+ years of development and refinement by Gaea herself, please do not replicate without permission! )
Size (approx) : 6ft x 55in with a diagonal tail opposite the weighted edge
Movement : This medium style veil is the best of both worlds - it’s large enough to mostly wrap most bodies & small enough to avoid the tangles of large veils in small spaces. These tend to be easier for beginners.
Dye: wild harvested golden rod and queen ann's lace flowers overnight open fire cauldron @caryatisfarm

Good morning!
Walked in the library this morning and noticed the sunlight streaming in through the east window, perfectly illuminating my new witch's broom from Carla at @gardenforestfarm ! I love it so much!
