We choose our next world through what we learn in this one. Learn nothing, and the next world is the same as this one, all the same limitations and lead weights to overcome.

Maybe I am becoming a hermit,
opening the door for only
a few special animals?
Maybe my skull is too crowded
and it has no opening through which
to feed it soup?
-Anne Sexton , The Awful Rowing Toward God

“The Witch's Life" When I was a child there was

“The Witch's Life"

When I was a child
there was an old woman in our neighborhood whom we called The Witch.
All day she peered from her second story
window
from behind the wrinkled curtains
and sometimes she would open the window
and yell: Get out of my life!
She had hair like kelp
and a voice like a boulder.

I think of her sometimes now
and wonder if I am becoming her.
Anne Sexton

“Cigarettes and Whiskey and Wild, Wild Women" P

“Cigarettes and Whiskey and Wild, Wild Women"
Perhaps I was born kneeling,
born coughing on the long winter,
born expecting the kiss of mercy,
born with a passion for quickness
and yet, as things progressed,
I learned early about the stockade
or taken out, the fume of the enema.
By two or three I learned not to kneel,
not to expect, to plant my fires underground
where none but the dolls, perfect and awful,
could be whispered to or laid down to die.

Now that I have written many words,
and let out so many loves, for so many,
and been altogether what I always was—
a woman of excess, of zeal and greed,
I find the effort useless.
Do I not look in the mirror,
these days,
and see a drunken rat avert her eyes?
Do I not feel the hunger so acutely
that I would rather die than look
into its face?
I kneel once more,
in case mercy should come
in the nick of time.
-Anne Sexton

The future is a fog that is still hanging out over

The future is a fog that is still hanging out over the sea, a boat that floats home or does not. -Anne Sexton, Ann Sexton: A Self Portrait in Letters

Confusion in her eyes that says it all. She's lost

Confusion in her eyes that says it all.
She's lost control.
And she's clinging to the nearest passer by,
She's lost control.
And she gave away the secrets of her past,
And said I've lost control again,
And a voice that told her when and where to act,
She said I've lost control again. 🖤

The compelling thing about making art — or makin

The compelling thing about making art — or making anything, I suppose — is the moment when the vaporous, insubstantial idea becomes a solid there, a thing, a substance in a world of substances. Circe, Nimbue, Artemis, Athena, all the old sorceresses: they must have known the feeling as they transformed mere men into fabulous creatures, stole the secrets of the magicians, disposed armies: ah, look, there it is, the new thing. Call it a swine, a war, a laurel tree. Call it art.
-Audrey Niffenegger

I love that quote. Don’t you? Portrait of @ksavannahg collaged with tree branches. 🖤

Provided we can escape from the museums we carry a

Provided we can escape from the museums we carry around inside us, provided we can stop selling ourselves tickets to the galleries in our own skulls, we can begin to contemplate an art which re-creates the goal of the sorcerer: changing the structure of reality by the manipulation of living symbols ... Art tells gorgeous lies that come true. -Hakim Bey

... art approaches as a saving sorceress, expert at healing. She alone knows how to turn these nauseous thoughts about the horror or absurdity of existence into notions with which one can live. -Friedrich Nietzsche

I took a portrait of @the_fox_ivy and gave it a dark, powerful vibe by collaging the portrait with the tree branch mandala pattern I created in #adobecapture she said it reminded her of a powerful sorceress and I totally agree! 🖤

I like listening to The Cure while working on graveyard art projects, it puts my mind in the appropriate place to make sad but beautiful art. 🖤

I’m liking how this one turned out and will probably be adding it to my print collection. I hope to have my Etsy shop up and running soon! 🎶In-Between Days🎶

Artist - The Cure | Lyrics - Robert Smith

And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn't be me and be her
In-between without you
Without you

I often fail at what to say in captions, I’m perpetually at a loss for words. During these times, I’ll just share with you what I’m listening to at the time, or bits of my favorite songs.🖤 Boys Don't Cry

Artist - The Cure | Lyrics - Michael Dempsey, Robert Smith & Lol Tolhurst

So I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try to
laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'cause boys don't cry

Editing and listening to Times Like These by Jack

Editing and listening to Times Like These by Jack Johnson 🎶...And there has always been laughing, crying, birth, and dying
Boys and girls with hearts that take and give and break
And heal and grow and recreate and raise and nurture.🖤

Five to one, baby One in five No one here gets out

No one here gets out alive

Awake.
Shake dreams from your hair
My pretty child, my sweet one.
Choose the day and choose the sign of your day
The days divinity
First thing you see.
