Nat<p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Imbolc" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Imbolc</span></a> is that time when seasons blend and interweave snow with the luminous sense of early spring. I love the lightness of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/snowflakes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>snowflakes</span></a> : their grace aloft whilst yielding to gravity. They, like the wings of the barn owl, have silencers... <br />In the meantime, my avian garden dwellers wander and feast around the trees. 16 Feb 2025.</p>

I try to add more and more self-made things to my altar, like this felt crystal ball which is a cover or "hat" for an LED tealight. On the second photo you can see a similar felt ghost LED tea light "hat" and christmas tree LED tea light "hat" (at the place of a friend's mom). The third photo shows a crochet wall hanging I made (didn't have a stick, so I used a pencil), and the fourth photo shows a nearly invisible (except when the light are out) glow-in-the-dark sigil on a tiny canvas and a watermelon made out of felt because free Palestine!
