One of those rare occasions to have my photo taken (see last time). This time artist/photographer Anna Krajewski caught the moment with her Nikon camera. I like the result, the natural sunlight permeating through a dark roof of leaves tracing my silhouette. The other capture shows me bowing and lighting a candle before a flowering cherry tree, before gathering a handful of blossoms.

3 weeks ago I moved to Düsseldorf. One of the first things we explored was the Nordpark and Japanischer Garten, while the cherry trees were still in bloom.

On Easter Sunday – the last weekend before my move to Düsseldorf, my mom took me to a well, where we gathered natural spring water. A couple told us, a big toad was hiding inside the rocky cavity surrounding the well. I gathered the water in a brown glass bottle and washed the apple wood disc, which I had pyrographed with my “Blessing Seal of Spring”.
Spring Now!

The buffet is opened: Today came to visit the first bees! Still a bit slow and clumsy from the cold, but so nice to see them back in our garden!
Earlier this week, I went to my old childhood playground and gathered willow catkins. My mom dug out these old painted wooden Easter eggs and little beetles. In 2 weeks I will be moving. It is hard for me to imagine, but something in me is determined to discover and live in a new place.

After several weeks of drought and freezing cold, low “Wiebke” first brought rain and then snow, which lasted for a day and brought much needed precipitation. Within a few hours the white blanket was gone again and spring took over the next day. Winter slumber is definitely over! Alas, most early flowering plants had already blossomed at the end of an unusually warm January, and where then surprised by the Siberian cold that lasted throughout the month of February. In the end I ran around the garden with a watering can, carrying and pouring gallons of water from the rain barrel in our basement. Meanwhile we missed to empty the second rain barrel left outdoors and of course it burst when the water in it froze completely. To do: buy new rain barrel!
Now, there is still a bit of work to do with preparing the garden…

Berlin, January 14 2018
This has been pointed out to me by an acquaintance from Berlin, and now I went there to see it myself.
No, I don’t do street art. Someone copied my Harvest sigil and combined it with a raven motif. I reckon the raven may be copied as well. I was surprised about the dimension. It seems to be glued unto the door rather than painted directly on it. It is signed “Pyramid Oracle”. They obviously put some work into this project and I admit it turned out nicely. I have to accept that others will continue to copy my work. It contributes to my work and ideas gaining broader impact. I doubt though, the person, who made this, has an idea of who I am or the concept behind the sigil. They probably don’t understand fully the spiritual consequences either. It’s not my business. Rest assured though, if I see you attempting to draw profit or recognition from copying my designs, I will hunt you.

Goodbye 2017, Hello 2018
11 JanThe last of 2017…

- New Year’s Eve 2018
2017 was over before it started. The annual check at the dentist one year before felt like yesterday. On a personal level, 2017 was again bittersweet, with a couple of setbacks. But so what… A highlight was to finally have seen Diamanda Galás in concert, which had been on my wishlist for too long. Another highlight was closing the year with Oliver Huntemann at Dresden’s Club Paula. I also spent rare time with my bffs, something I am looking forward to again and all the more in 2018!
Workwise I just continued and worked harder. My web shop went online in September and since then I hardly had a break. I vended for the second time during the Samhain Celebration in Gotha and also had my first gallery exhibition outside of Dresden. There were several double and triple shifts, at times I stayed up and worked for 2 days in a row. There was too much or too little sleep, but no balance. As a result, I started 2018 dead tired. I am in fact still in a sort of recovery mode. But 2018 has only started, I have already been productive again…
I patched the green house as good as possible and cleaned up a bit in the garden. It’s been raining most of the time, there has been no snow yet, the temperatures are unusually warm. If the ground is not too muddy, one can actually plant now. I finished some smaller graphic designs and pyrographed new pentagram discs in black alder wood. I continued researching gothic architecture and geometry, and found some resources for study and drawing practice. I hope to expand and develop my graphic designs from there. Since we did not experience any actual Raunächte here, I expect a late cold period and frosty spring. This will delay garden work. I also have to finish more ink drawings for collectors of my work. Thanks to demand, I could also expand the series of postcards with my nature/occult inspired photography.
I still have a huge backlog of unedited content I meant to share with you, which include most importantly photos and a report of attending Leipzig’s first grimoire conference…
I would love to go on a vacation sometime. I look forward to Berlin next weekend. I will be there on Saturday, before the “Bad Intentions” exhibition closes. It’s your last chance to see my work at @circle1gallery and an opportunity to meet in person! After that I look forward to celebrating a friend’s birthday and Sunday I will spent some free time in Berlin until leaving again for Dresden in the evening. The rest of January is already full with commission work.
I want to thank a few people, that have helped me progress in 2018: my old and my new web master, Martin and Caroline Falkenstein from the House of Incantation, Werian, Anne Ida Helmer, Avi Pitchon, gallery Circle1, Ben Zodiazepin, Anathema Publishing, my customers and of course those that are and stay close to me.
Love,
Wiebke
