While there is something (sometimes many somethings) to be said for the winter-soothing rituals of hot teas, bracing jots of fire cider, or a well placed occasional vin chaud, sometimes in the wilds of these grey, not-quite-mud-season days what you really need is ESCAPE.
A changing of the seasons is always a time for revisiting the humble daily rituals that make our lives run smoothly and save our minds from mental chaos of all shapes and sizes.
What can be "magic" about a chunky wooden pencil, you ask?
As people who revel in elevating the necessary rituals of the miraculous mundane, we have lots of thoughts about washing dishes.
We are no strangers to ritual attunements. We believe in the daily grounding magic found all around us in the humblest of things...from the way our bodies themselves feel fruitful after spending time working the earth in our gardens to the pure satisfaction of a clean kitchen after a beautiful meal. The call to connect ourselves to the world around us is deeply human.
