Today it was raining slightly and the ground was soft. I went down amongst the fallen trees in my yard and planted a few bulbs.
I know, it is a bit late, but this is the first time that I’ve felt connected to the land again after the storm. The immense suffering here in its wake has removed me from my sense of place.
Touching the earth, quietly digging little holes, smelling soil and feeling the cold brought me into my senses into the wild world, which is ever present no matter where I am or how I am.
Spirit is awaiting … just waiting for me to find my way back.
I wish for everyone this sense of belonging to the world, which heals a fractured self. That’s all.
Ｏｓｔａｒａ Ａｒｉｓｅｓ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The goddess arises from frozen mud and thicket.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The edge of winter rounds and the scent of beginnings swell the air. Ostara embraces seeds as they bud and reinvigorates the soil with her potency. Creatures arise and the ground pulses with life as dawn cracks the night.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Her smile is the sun. Ostara is the promise of revival as the heart opens once again.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Getting ready for our 20% off sale starting FRIDAY. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(AND we’re giving $25 gift cards away with purchases over $200 for future use)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What piece do you have your eye on?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There is a joke in the studio that I never get to keep the jewelry that we make. I think if someone orders this piece I will make one for myself, also 🌺 She is most elegant and fierce and ancient.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

On Beltane, Trollbinde moved from its cozy home on Stardust Road in Burnsville to a space that I now own.
These last few months I have been intensely pressed. I really haven’t posted much due to my own overwhelm, but I am now excited to show the world our new space and share the beauty in hopes that beauty will beget beauty.
I’m full of gratitude that I was able to make this move—it’s a step toward my own independence through this capitalist hellscape.
The Stardust Studio did me right. I thanked the space, cleansed the space and ritually ended my time there, honoring 8 formative years in that space.
Gayatri mantra to bless the new beginnings with radiant light.
Tears shed in the Stardust mark the threshold.
The Trollbinde Sample Sale is live ✨
Over 80 one-of-a-kind sample and seconds pieces are now deeply discounted and ready to find their homes. These listings will be taken down on Wednesday, 2/25 — and whatever remains will be offered again on Sunday 2/28 in our stories at an additional discount.
There are some true treasures in this batch, but don’t wait — most pieces typically sell.
The sale is live on our website, trollbinde.com, on the “Shop” page.
Here stand a few of the available pieces. And the last image? That’s me — the owner and maker — pictured as a childhood cult leader.
Now go claim some treasures !
Jewelry for the multidimensional self 🕸️
Who here feels like they’re walking in many realms these days? I have stayed off the socials for a little while for some psychic protection while I figure out how to best be of service in the collective death/birth while I keep things running in my 3d life.
I haven’t figured it out fully, but finding stillness has helped me realize that I can really and truly make an impact in my own backyard , essentially.
There’s lots of changes afoot at the Trollbinde, including a studio move which will give me back dozens of hours a month to work on strengthening the energetics of my work.

Restocked! Scorpion & Scarab Dagger Amulets back on the website after a hiatus.
A perfect gift for someone seeking a simple power-piece.
We’re shipping immediately for holiday delivery.
If you haven’t yet received shipping notification for an order you placed, we’ll be all caught up on Friday !
Many days I go about my routine and schedule of running a business kind of unconsciously, as you can fall into when something becomes your everyday- bill paying, keeping up with supplies, all the materialistic stuff that needs daily attention.
Then out of nowhere I am awe-stricken, and I sense this pulling feeling that I must share the energies that want to come through me.
I want to keep this feeling close to me as I move about my day, and in a kind of meta-way, I use my own jewelry to remind me of my path to make jewelry. Seems a little contrived and obvious, but every time it’s like a revelation 😂
I tried to pick an image/piece to share that captures this, and here it is! The glowing path forward.

Thank you for allowing us to create beautiful things to adorn beautiful people.
Our 31% off sale is happening now until tomorrow- to decorate yourself and others with otherworldly treasures.
Thank you for potentially making our holiday sale one of the best ever for this little company. I know I’m blasting this pretty hard, and I appreciate you all putting up with more promotion while you’re being inundated with marketing from all directions.
It’s cringy to have to do, but small business really relies on this time to thrive. So if you’ve supported Trollbinde with orders, or any other small business out there-
THANK YOU. You’ve made a heroic choice that really makes an economic impact.
We’re offering 31% off until Tuesday- the highest discount we’ve ever offered ! It’s a funny random number and that’s just how we like to do things 😘
