Well said.
It’s also, for me, about thinking of the ways I disempower myself and a reminder not to.

Candles for a quick, painless passing. The prayers said. The songs sung. Hugs given. Tears shared.

There are some knot / cord magic books out there, but I tend to build intention into my work, binding or unbinding, with something I wrote for that occasion.

Exactly! I try not to over- interpret because I don’t want to lose the piece that gives them meaning

This is wonderful!
We cover it and we talk about it.

I aim to wrap the truth in kindness (vs. niceness) and honor the messengers and the messages. Honesty is also very important.

Yes - I tend to be drawn in some areas for a time. I feel it’s because there’s something I need to grow there at that time in my life.

A little knot magic can go a long way ….

My current project.

What’s everyone working on?
