    I really dig the shrines! The second one is like the canopy of the RWS Chariot on the inside and like the amethyst bowl of the Thoth Chariot on the outside! The chariot carrying the intentions of your emotions to the spirits! Wheeee!
    My favorite part of this video is you describing one of your books in front of your library. And then you began to read from it! I love it.
    I adore old books. I got a thrift copy of How to Heal with Color by Ted Andrews and it smells so divine! 🥰
    How much do I love that you're a jewelry maker! I just re-engaged with my jewelry making stuff yesterday as I was inspired by the Ted Andrews book to make a pendulum out of this free amethyst point that I got in an Etsy order that was top drilled. I just used cotton cord and knots and then covered the knots with a couple crimping beads. But it was so fun to look through all my stuff for the right beads.
    You can actually buy copper and bronze clay that you fire with a blowtorch to make a dragon's eye pendant. Get some clay working tools too so you can do details... they are made of silicone. They have silver clay too, but silver is so pricey right now. You can even get patina chemicals to make it look antiqued! Here's a link to Fire Mountain Gems but it might be cheaper elsewhere...You could etch it with the same type of veins in those beads of agate.

    and they have educational videos!

    My favorite Ben Kingsley movie is The House of Sand and Fog, it even honored the book. I never knew that about the pencil with him. I adore the feeling and sound of colored pencils and crayons rubbing onto paper. As a child I would scribble in big circles and push really hard because it was such a pleasure to the senses!
    You're so right about the liminality of workings... I almost enjoy planning a ritual spell more than doing the actual spell. All the power goes into it as I create the spell and then the ritual is just the punctuation. Same with art... I make love to the paper and the colors as I go. Sometimes it will sit and just be for days as I love each step of the process. Picasso said it took him a lifetime to learn to create like a child.
    Sorry for writing a book, here. I kept thinking of things as I watched. Much love and many blessings to you and yours, Lennan. I enjoyed spending some of my morning with you. You always inspire me. ❤❤

      Oh, I like how you thought of the Chariot card in my shrine! I like Ted Andrews. I hadn't heard of that book, is it good? I love beads so much. I love this copper/bronze idea. I'll have to research it more. Thanks for the links! Ben Kingsley is such a great actor! OMG, I love crayons and how they draw. I did the same thing with them. Hard marks! And, you're so good. I like comments that make me think and feel like a conversation!! 💖💖💖

      @@LennanSmith Yay! I'm only about halfway through it but it is no fuss no tangent, just straight up information, kind of book. I want to do chakra work with my drawing meditations and eventually do healing drawings for others and teach others how to do it for themselves too.
      Good luck with the metal clay. I think you'll love it. I'm about to have lunch with you now. I'm going to watch your latest video while I eat. 🥰

    You can go to the audio options and change it back to the original Spanish with English subtitles! It does default to English for some reason though. Thanks for letting me know about this show I can’t wait to start it :)

      Oh, thanks for this. I was so confused. LOL.

    OMG Like Water for Chocolate is one of my all-time favorite movies. I thought the subtitles would be a drag, but you don't even notice your reading the words. So good.

    • @LennanSmith
      @LennanSmith  15 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @beanbaghagwag RIGHT! I loved it, too. It was so atmospheric, you really don't get too annoyed with the subtitles. 🍫

    Beads ❤ they do look like carnelian with all, the juicy shades. I think we call the black ones snowflake obsidian.
    Looking forward to hearing your against nature trial. 😊

      @LennanSmith  19 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      @AntoinetteTarot Yes. I looked them up, and they're snowflake obsidian. So beautiful. I love beads!
      And I hope to explore that against nature more and hopefully will have something to share about it. Lol.

    I love hearing about other witches prayer/rosary beads. Could you make a video on what a war/warrior rosary means to you and how you use it?
