Motanka – Talisman Doll for Love, Passion, Courage, Well-being, and Prosperity.
What is a Motanka Doll? Motanka doll is a handmade doll popular in Ukraine, Belarus, Poland and Russia. She is created with natural fabrics, often beautifully ornamented materials commonly made back in the day, and materials that hold special personal meaning to the maker – in modern terms, she is recycled artistic self-expression. Created without sewing nor waste, technically by reusing, upcycling and revaluing fabrics, and generally in a smooth, delicate manner with a positive mindset only !

Happy Chinese New Year 2023.
I like that we have many New Years to celebrate in the yearly calendar. January 1st isn’t the only time for intention and goal setting.

So as you see, we have plenty of opportunities during the year to set new goals, and look at the ones we have achieved, or need…

Baba Yaga the Slavic Wild Woman
Baba Jaga is something of an outsider in the world of the mythos. Not a goddess, more a witch, she seems to have no matching counterpart in any other legends around the world. She is of Slavic descent, represented as a very scary old crone with a wealth of knowledge and tricks to get you motivated to take inspired action. If you fail, she will eat you! Her hut walks on a rooster’s leg – she devours living things – children mostly. She is constantly hungry and her cauldron is always steaming, the fire that heats it up is eternal. So is she. Killing her brings her back to…

Five Tarot Decks I can’t live without.
I am excited to share with you some good news! The Tarot classes are back! That means I have the perfect excuse to buy more Tarot decks and Oracle cards and new Tarot books to share with y’all! Yup, I am a Tarot nerd – Tarotus Nerdus Maximus. I believe that in case of Tarot and Oracle Cards, more is better. The funny thing is that even if I have about a dozen decks waiting in different global shops for my trembling with excitement finger to push the button ‘buy’, I know for a fact, that unless the Earth shakes and one of those decks happened to be prolific in…
