How did I survive the Season of Eclipse? By making 13 spirit dolls. I had no idea when I began that there would be 13 and so it was a lovely surprise to put them all together yesterday. I love to work ritually with art during deep points of lunar activity.

The dolls your see above and below were amongst the first creations. The doll in the black box became a mourning doll for my best friend who just lost his father and the doll in the white box made right at the point of eclipse became a blood moon doll for my 13 year old faerie god-daughter as she awaits to step through the threshold into womanhood. Both of these dolls were very alike in energy, both deep and silent in their voice, serious work to do looking after their new owners. I was so happy to be able to assist both of these beautiful friends in this way - in times of threshold crossing and transformation, we rarely find words that do justice to the mystery.
