Day Twenty-One: Talismans – Elements of Creation #DoMagick
I don’t even know if I need to really explain this one. Just FEEL the sigil. Sometimes creation isn’t visual, or a sound. It’s just a feeling. I put the elements in that particular order for a reason.

Day Twenty: Talismans – Discipline #DoMagick
Today’s talisman, it’s kind of funny because I was looking at coloring pages and I found this beautiful mandala inspired picture and I printed it out and decided to color it. It took me about forty-five minutes to do it and as I was coloring I kept thinking to myself, discipline. Commitment. Repetition. Working toward a goal. Just when I…

Day Nineteen: Talismans – Dominion #DoMagick
Taking back creative power is an interesting thing. It requires a great deal of confidence and living one’s truth. It is a gentle cascade of color. A spiritual home where one lives. This talisman is to help build that foundation of energy to manifest creative dominion within the artist. The gentle blending of red, blue, and green under a single…

Day Eighteen: Talismans – Shining #DoMagick
This week in our Artist’s Way workshop, the theme is taking back your creative power. That inspired this little talisman. Again, this isn’t an activated talisman as much as it’s a heartfelt expression to remind me that every man and every woman is a star. That bright light within is where our creative spark is.

Day Seventeen: Talismans – Synchronicity #DoMagick
In the Artists Way Workshop we’ve been talking about letting the universe provide and trusting that things will work out. How when it is our soul urge to be creative, the opportunities to do so come to us. Kind of like my writing friends came together and started this workshop group at a time I needed creative recovery. Perfect timing…

Day Sixteen: Talisman – Manifesting #DoMagick
Today’s talisman reminds me of the cogs of the machine. The forces at work behind the scenes as we work to manifest our creative will. This talisman keeps the machine working. The left side reminds me of the part of the machine we see, while the right hand side (darker) is the secret world inside the machine that makes it…

Day Fifteen: Talismans – Depth #DoMagick
For today’s talisman I painted whatever my creative muse wanted and this is what she gave me. I’d like to point out that I’m not exactly sure what this is. Creatures swimming in unicorn piss? LOL All I know is when I look at it the word that comes to mind is DEPTH. The depth of creative emotion. The depth of…

Day Fourteen: Talismans – Serenity #DoMagick
I call today’s talisman Serenity because for this watercolor, during the act of its creation, I focused on Serenity. Upon finishing this piece I felt a deep calm within. I am not sure why I chose to paint mountains and trees, but probably because I’ve always found great peace hiking in the Rocky Mountains. Watercolor can be a bitch to…

Day Thirteen: Talismans – Portals #DoMagick
Today’s talisman kind of looks like bubbles with sigils floating in the air, but they’re actually portals to various energy sources (those represented by the sigils). This talisman is not really meant to DO anything other than act as a reminder to how the portals are accessed, and as a reminder that when you need help — it’s okay to…

Day Twelve: Talismans – Resonance #DoMagick
This talisman illustrates the energy (idea) that resonates off of the sigil, thus helping it manifest in the physical world. This is a variant inspired by Lucifuge. (I’m hooked on him this week.) I made it colorful to represent how one symbol can have many facets or feelings within it. Again – possibilities, creativity, and everything that manifests the will.…
