New Traditions to help the Old Ones



Above paintings by Bendik Riis

and







obsessing over the candle magick again.

I was up till about 4 something last night.  I finished the sign for the local co-op natural foods market!
Yay!  I'm a bit of a zombie, but for now I give you Bendik Riis' paintings and candle compulsions.  
Perhaps I can do something with this obsession.  I've made candles before but we have no beeswax right now.  Would it be strange to do sculptural candles?  I wonder. 
The fun is in the lighting of them.  But also the energy they harness before.
The potential of the candle to help foster things or wishes that come from the imagination.  Manifestation. 
  Goodbye, I'm off to lunch.

V.-I have been reading your blog for hours now and I am completely glad that I met you and your family. I read until right before you left Portland but have to quit to get some listing done. You are so brave to push on the way you do. I love Iowa but I would imagine it is like a foreign country for you much of the time. Your photos of Algona have helped me to see it as less harsh. Your photos of plants are lovely. I wish I had your level of interest in the natural world. I imagine I take it for granted. I wish only good things for you and your family.
