Greetings everyone! My apologies for not posting much as of late, I have been working quite a bit and haven't had much time. However, yesterday I was able to finally get out and check out some new items for my Mermaid Tree this year. SO excited to be able to share them with you! ...
🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄
As well as the mermaid ornaments, I also found three dragons - Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion ...
Greetings, mermaid enthusiasts! Here are my latest treasures from the treasure chest ...!
HAPPY TREASURE HUNTING, FRIENDS!!
Greetings, my fellow mermaids! I have a few new treasures to share with you. Since my birthday was a couple of weeks ago, I received some very beautiful gifts from my friends and family.
These two lovelies were from my friend, Deb ...
Greetings, friends! In keeping with the theme of enhancing altars and crafting, I have added a couple of oil mixes specially made for dragon lovers to use for honoring and even spellwork if preferred.
Items needed:
One small bottle (any shape - star, round, heart, etc.)
Sea salt
Blue chalk and a small knife
Blue glitter
Small seashells and/or small beads (optional)
Pour the sea salt (as much as you would like) and the blue glitter into the bottle and lightly shake to mix together (or mix separately before pouring into bottle).
Scrape the blue chalk powder into the bottle with the sea salt mixture.
Add the small seashells and/or beads.
*Added suggestions: If you are able to find a seashell the right size to fit the lip of your bottle, you can use the shell instead of a cork - that is even better! And if you feel especially creative, you can also decorate the outside of the bottle with small gemstones, silver or goldtoned jewelry, or the like. Happy crafting, mermaids!!
Today, I found a pretty cool recipe for a DIY mermaid scrub. It is simple and easy to make. The directions are as follows:
YOU WILL NEED:
One small jar, blue food coloring, 1 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup cold pressed coconut oil (refined), 5-7 drops of pure essential lavender oil.
In a bowl add the sugar, food coloring, coconut oil, lavender oil and mix well. Pour into the jar and DONE!

As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, I began reading about dragon lore a short time after I realized that I was not only born in The Year of the Dragon, but, inadvertently, that my chosen craft name had somewhat of a connection to them.
Recently; however, I have been hearing a lot about a tradition called, "Draconic Wicca." Now, I have been an ecclectic Wiccan practitioner for 25 years and as intriguing as this concept sounds, I honestly have no desire to incorporate dragons into my everyday practice. From what I have read in regards to it thus far, Draconic Wicca is fairly complex and, as with any disciplined practice, requires a lot of time and patience. There can be no self-doubt nor question what-so-ever in your mind that this is the path you wish and that what you are doing is absolutely necessary and for the good of all concerned (sound a bit familiar to any fellow Wiccans out there?). Furthermore, it requires a lot of self-reflection before even considering the idea of actually working with dragons ...
Yesterday, I began working on my new mermaid altar downstairs. Last week, my gorgeous new merman statue arrived and I just could not wait to add him to my collection ...
Some of my altar items I had gotten a few years ago such as my ceramic mermaid bell, my chalices, mermaid athame, mermaid tealight holder, large seashell, and incense burner ...
