The Art of: Mickie Mueller

Time for another Art feature! One of my favourite artists, Mickie Mueller. I am in love with the feel of her paintings and of the amount of love and thought she puts into every piece. If I had the money, pagan paintings of her would cover every inch of my house ;) They show the way I feel about nature, paganism and witchcraft. Mickie's artwork inspires me to search, to look beyond what we see every day. Everytime I hit a rut in my craft, Mickie's inspirational art urges me to move forward. Please enjoy a few of my favourite pieces my Mickie Mueller!

Lady of the Forest

Celtic Heather
Wisdom in the Woods
Heal the Earth
Voice of the Trees Oracle - Back design

So far Mickie Mueller has done the art for three Oracle decks. The Well Worn Path and the Hidden Path, both in collaboration with Raven Grimassi. Her last Oracle deck is the Voice of the Trees oracle. This is her first solo project and boy, did she go all out. The deck is an Ogham deck and in the accompanied book she writes how she took a little piece of each tree and blended that into her paints as she painted each card. So even though you're holding paper, you're still holding a tiny piece of the tree in your hands.

For more on Mickie Mueller, check out her website, or better yet, her blog for all updates! She also has an etsy shop!

Love and Leaves,

If I ever get pregnant...

...I want this for my little faeriebaby!






This design was made and handbuilt by Kidtropolis. It took 4 months to make and place this wonderful faerie bedroom! Isn't it all amazing?!

Pagan Arts Journal - Week 1

Faye from Aradia's Cauldron had the brilliant idea to start a Pagan Arts Journal. Each week she gives a prompt to which you make an Art Journal page. I jumped on the bandwagon a little while ago, so I'm hopelessly behind. But that's okay, I'll just go on my own pace. What I love about this project is that it combines my love for art and my love for paganism. It gives me a chance to look at my path and my beliefs in a creative way. So, needless to say, I'm very excited about this project!

So here it is, my page for week 1. The prompt was 'intentions'. From Faye's blog:


What are your intentions for this project? what do you hope to get out of it? is it about healing, creativity, community, or something else?


I put my intentions into the leaves falling off the tree. I wanted to join this project to give my creativity a boost, to incorporate paganism into my daily life but most of all; to have FUN! This was something I really wanted to do for myself and for no one else. Which is why I also put some 'powerwords' at the root of the tree. Just some words I need to concentrate more on every once in a while. These words are; roots, courage, self and passion. I also have some quotes about creativity scattered around the page. My favourite:

Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes and having fun!
