Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the of the page with additional text: “It’s AMAZING TO think how weaving, an industry so global in the modern age, had once been so local — a basic domestic craft practised in everyone’s front rooms. Many of the processes of carding, dying, spinning and weaving were carried out in the same place — perhaps even by the same person. Evidence for domestic cloth production can be found from every single period of British history right back to the Neolithic, and in some remote parts continued well into the early twentieth century. Certainly, in rural communities it was a useful sideline during the quiet times of the agricultural year, when the days were short and long evenings could be spent spinning on the wheel and casting on the loom. But dedicated weavers producing textiles for commercial purposes were probably around from at least the medieval period.” — Alexander Langlands, Cræft: How Traditional Crafts Are About More than Just Making (2017). Below the text is a card with a photo collage of a wooden box scattered with metal buttons, thimbles, a needle, scissors, and tulips. Next to the card is a gray plastic bodied dip pin and a swatch of deep blue ink with red sheen and green shimmer.

#tarot or #OracleDeck Sibyls Oraculum #CardOfTheDay Propositum • Purpose - “Reason determines the weight of every harvest.”

Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the of the page with additional text: “In Tusculum the hill of Corne was covered with beeches, curiously round like evergreens in a topiarian’s garden, and dedicated to Diana, to worship whom the people came from miles around; and one of these trees was a favorite of the orator Passenius Crispus, who read and meditated in its shade, embraced it familiarly, and often testified to his regard by pouring wine on its roots. It was of beech that Jason built the Argo, too—all but its speaking prow— and Bacchus quaffed his wine from beechen bowls, possibly cut from the purple beech, which shows wine stains in its leaves.” — Charles M. Skinner, MYTHS AND LEGENDS OF FLOWERS, TREES, FRUITS, AND PLANTS IN ALL AGES AND IN ALL CLIMES (1911). Below the text is a card with artwork made to look like a crumbling mosaic of a black dove flying over an omphala stone in a temple. Next to the card is a red fountain pen with a hexagonal body and a swatch of a red bean, or oxblood, colored ink.

Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the of the page with additional text: “In this environment, her painting shifted, absorbing the techniques she’d learned in Amsterdam, as well as the vibrant tropical colors, the eeriness that got under the skin. It was as if a ribbon, knotted in a tight bow, had been released. The pictures almost pour over the sides of the page, and show their subjects glimpsed from strange angles: a view from beneath a banana branch, the underground life of a cassava root. Unlike her European plants and caterpillars, centered and balanced, these portraits show asymmetry, like those of Rachel Ruysch and her mentor Willem van Aelst. Even the chips in Merian’s study book expanded— the extravagance of wings resulting in an extravagance of parchment.” — Kim Todd, Chrysalis: Maria Sibylla Merian and the Secrets of Metamorphosis (2007). Below the text is a red on black 9 of diamonds playing card, a gold-tone fountain pen with a black loop clip, and a swatch of reddish brown ink with verdigris sheen and copper shimmer.

#tarot or #OracleDeck Hedgewitch Botanical Oracle #CardOfTheDay Trout Lily • Erythronium americanum - Patience

Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the of the page with additional text: “March 31 is Transgender Day of Visibility. International TDOV was started by transgender advocate Rachel Crandall in 2010 as a response to trans visibility (through media, news, etc.) as either heavily focused on violence, or it dismisses trans identity as part of “culture wars.” TDOV is a day to celebrate the lives, the contributions (and the joy!) of trans people, while also bringing awareness that this remains a very marginalized community that needs our support. Last year alone, over 400 anti-trans laws were filed—many impacting trans youth. The ALA reported that “titles representing the voices & lived experiences of LGBTQIA+ & BIPOC individuals made up 47% of those targeted in censorship attempts.” According to Gallup, only 30% of Americans personally know a trans person. This is in addition to recognizing that due to discrimination, many trans people cannot safely be visible. TDOV is more important than ever—not just for the trans community. If we read, watch, or listen to stories that leave out trans voices, we are all missing out.” — Kate Alessandri, “What Everyone Should Know About Trans Day of Visibility,” Alameda County Library, March 25, 2024. Below the text is a card w/ a line drawing of a lily plant w/ the flowers colored in orange. Next to the card is a silver-colored fountain pen & a swatch showing a deep olive green ink w/ heavy silver shimmer.

10. Germinal honoring the Incubator, Mothering Sunday*, Vincent Van Gogh b. 1853, Borrowing Day, Spiritual Baptist Liberation Day, Hekate’s Deipnon* #Notebook Chronicle Go-To w/ Mohawk paper, dotted & Col-o-ring swatch booklet
#FountainPen Lamy Safari - candied violet, EF
#ink Diamine Raise a Glass
#tarot or #OracleCards Lineages of Change Tarot #CardOfTheDay The Root of Air - “Trust the pattern you see, trust your thought process, trust the wind.”

Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the of the page with additional text: “Nathan Bailey’s Dictionarium Britannicum of 1730 defines ‘Mothering’ as: ‘A Custom still retained in many places of England, of visiting Parents on Midlent-Sunday; and it seems to be called Mothering, from the Respect in the old Time paid to the Mother Church. It being the Custom for People in old Popish Times to visit their Mother Church on Midlent-Sunday, and to make their Offerings at the High Altar.’ Bailey thus suggests a secularization of a medieval practice, so that people would offer gifts to their own mothers rather than to the church. In the eighteenth century, Mothering” seems to have been a regional custom. Correspondents to the Gentleman’s Magazine in the 1780s are very vague about this day, but believe it may have associations with food or drink. When ‘H.T.’ mentioned ‘furmety on Mothering-Sunday’ in a 1783 communication, another correspondent claimed to be unfamiliar with Mothering Sunday, and observed that others probably were too.” — Claire A. Simmons, Medieval Traditions in Nineteenth-Century Britain (2021). Below the text is a card depicting two faces in triangles arranged tip to top vertically, like a reflection. The upper face has their eyes open the lower one has their eyes closed. Next to the card is a purple fountain pen and a swatch showing a dark purple ink with bronze shading and blue-green shimmer.

#FountainPen Kaweco Student - rock, F
#ink Diamine Cashmere Rose
#tarot or #OracleCards Academic Tarot #CardOfTheDay XVI Interlibrary Loan - unearthed truth and the unexpected opportunity to build anew on a less shaky foundation

Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the of the page with additional text: “There are Native stories from the Coast Salish here in the Pacific Northwest that believed the alder trees were once women. Interestingly, there are also Celtic creation tales that believed that the first woman came from an alder tree, though some Irish tales believe the first man came from an alder tree and the first woman from a rowan tree. It was therefore protective to hang a bundle of alder twigs above the crib of a baby boy and a bundle of rowan twigs above the bed of a baby girl. In Somerset, UK, it was thought that if a traveler passed through an alder copse, that he would never be seen again. An old creepy rhyme that captures this superstition of being trapped in the alder wood goes: ‘I caught the fitful sound,/ Wafted o’er sullen moss and craggy mound,/ Unfruitful solitudes, that seem to upbraid,/ The sun in heaven! But now to form a shade,/ For thee, green alders have together wound, their foliage.’ (Sonnet to Duddon, William Wordsworth)” — Corrine Boyer, Under the Witching Tree (2020). Below the text a blue and white fountain pen lies across the page. Below the pen is a card with a drawing of person holding a toppling stack of books wearing a lightning bolt earring, a surgical mask below their nose, and blue latex gloves. Next to the card is a swatch of a dusty rose ink.

#FountainPen Lamy AL-Star - sage, F
#ink Diamine Weeping Willow
#tarot or #OracleCards Hedgewitch Botanical Oracle #CardOfTheDay Garlic • Allium ursinum - Service

Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the of the page with additional text: “The relationship between disaster and revolution has seldom been explored, though it crops up throughout the history of revolutions. Catastrophic weather across France in the summer of 1788 brought on the crop failures and bad harvests that led to the rising bread prices, shortages, and hunger that played a major role in triggering the French Revolution the following year. The 1870-71 siege and occupation of Paris in the Franco-Prussian War brought on the sense of daring and solidarity that made possible the Paris Commune—several weeks of insurrectionary self-government Kropotkin and anarchists everywhere have cherished ever since. Belli spoke of Nicaraguans feeling after the earthquake that since they could lose their life, they wanted to make it mean something, even if that involved risks.” — Rebecca Solnit, A Paradise Built in Hell (2009). Below w the text is a card with a line drawing of wild garlic in bloom with a few leaves and the slender bulb colored in greens and browns. Next to the card is a light green fountain pen and a swatch showing a murky yellow leaning light brown.

Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the of the page with additional text: “The fifth- century Roman Empire depended on its citizens accepting an intricate illusion. People were encouraged to believe that the state in which they lived and the people who administered it enjoyed such power that ordinary people could not challenge them. Imperial officials, local elites, church leaders, and military officers colluded to manage the empire’s cities through a combination of threats, rewards, and personal relationships that hid how precarious a grip they held on public order.” — Edward J. Watts, Hypatia: The Life and Legend of an Ancient Philosopher (2017). Below the text is a card with a collage of a darker skinned masculine presenting person with body paint and locked hair praying over a golden chalice surrounded by coral reef life. Next to the card is a clear blue plastic fountain pen.
