For today
no daily draw. Yesterday I've been with M to
her new dentist and unlike previous experiences this time everything
went so smoothly. She was very happy and she suggested to celebrate this with a visit to a very large thrift store in the same neighborhood.
We both enjoy to snoop there.
We had a
great time and got some amazing finds. Somehow a lot of my purchases are mainly
spiritual items from different spiritual traditions:
I have found a dark wooden standing
crucifix and a wooden painted Madonna and Child. Together they are for me a
representation of my most earliest belief system which I still hold dear to my
heart.
Also I've
found a little terracotta statue of Ganesha and a small elephant to go with it.
He is for me the Kind Remover of my blockages. Then a dark wooden statue of a
female mermaid (in my opinion Yemaya) with big breasts and a bowl filled with
seafood in her hands, caught my attention and I couldn't leave her behind. After that I thought I saw a small statue of an otter
which reminded me of the Page of Cups from the Wildwood Tarot. Only when I came
home S mentioned it was a seal (oops) but M suggested it could also be a selkie
friend for my mermaid sea goddess.
The Brigid’s Cross (made in
Ireland) appealed to me very much. We already have a Brigid’s cross, I've made of wheat hanging, in our hallway and now I can have this one for in my bedroom
Also I've
found a gnome with a mushroom head and some acorns in his hands to put up when
autumn comes, and two little wooden boxes. One has the shape of an apple which
reminded me of our apple tree and last
but not least a lovely wooden tray and a tawny altar cloth (also for the Fall)
Immediately
after we came home I've grabbed the beeswax and started polishing my wooden
finds. Now they shine and smell great! What a perfect afternoon it was!
