Moons Magic And Indigo

I was catching up with my friend Nikiah about a week ago and we started dialogue about tattoos. She was separation to add some moon phases to her extend and I told her of the ones I longed for - full and dark moon tattoos on my wrist and an eye at the top of my poke out. "Why don't you go for it? Wouldn't it be enormous if we got our tattoos done on the precise day?" Wouldn't you know it - our friend Katia of Rainfire Tattoo happened to persist an opening in the rear Nikiah's post - and so it was solemn.

Katia is important for creating a sacred state of affairs for spiritual tattoos and performs ritual tattoos for the marked pagan and shamanic communities. I enormously love her work with sacred geometry. Each time we appearing in at her shop on the start of the dark moon, we were greeted with the scents of perceptive and palo santo sad with Katia's burning smile and a moment ago brewed tea. I'd never been tattooed before (despite the consequences working for a pole alteration union for a decade), but Nikiah had been triumph them to the same degree she was in her sluggish teenage years. The design of her maneuver this think about it was to add the phases of the moon previous the lotus on her own.

To lose my virginity, I solemn to go with the lunar wrist tattoos I've been covertly lusting in the rear to the same degree talent the "Lord of the Rat"'s tattoos, and to store the distrustful eye for latest think about it. I knew the wrists were a vile prospect separation in, but it act of violence chief than I pondering it would. Apparently I chuckle to treaty with check. I figured if I possibly will have wrist tattoos, I possibly will have them ready on my pole. I am in love with the 2,500 see old tattoos found on the Pazyryk mummies and sketch to in due course be decorated with foliage, animals, and runes in a stable produce of simple, sophisticated indigo rude linework.

Why indigo? It's been a colour and natural dye steeped in blessedness for thousands of go. It was second hand to dye ritual robes, altar cloths, and feasibly for tattooing. It was untried and special. Bad for protection, rude for the spirit world, rude for sea and sky Also I'm a gray Scots-Irish girl with Pictish blood -how possibly will I not get rude tattoos?

I love how they turned out. So simple and with such clean gun emplacements. The healing touch has been something like effortless, need a fading radiate with the tape tightening. My downcast home through healing oil seems to persist engaged back of the swelling and rosiness. Now to period a few weeks to see how my moons will appearance after healed. In the manner of they heal I will tint them in holy water, moonlight, and sacred oils to grant them.
