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.…

Day Eleven: Talismans – Vision #DoMagick
Today’s talisman is about Vision and Forsight in order to manifest that vision into the physical world. I included the Eye of Ra to represent the farseeing vision I need to see the larger picture. The feathers of Ma’at to ensure I judge all I see fairly. The staves of power to represent my will, they symbol of the moon…

Day Nine: Talismans – Blooming #DoMagick
Our creative impulses only need initiative and nurturing to bloom. The white and red flowers are passion combined with purity and perhaps perfection (even in imprefection). The green is for growth. Flowers because ideas burst forth into blossoms. This talisman helps ideas bloom into full manifestation. We need only to have passion for them, and the desire to create to…

Day Eight: Talismans – Origins #DoMagick
Today’s talisman is about finding the creator within and tapping the origins of one’s creativity. It’s also about finding that divine source and tapping the chaos and randomness that, through creativity, manifests and takes shape into something we can experience with the senses. I didn’t use color just because while ideas may manifest in color, before that, they are just…

Day Seven: Talismans – Possibilities #DoMagick
Today’s talisman is all about possibilities. Hope, creativity, and the many opportunities for these things in our daily lives. This talisman attracts these things.
-
Day Six: Talismans – Intuition #DoMagick
Today’s Talisman is about creative intuition. I used both green and orange for creativity, the snake to symbolize wisdom, Jupiter to symbolize expansion, and Venus to attract ideas. Basically – this talisman is all about drawing more creative intuition and wisdom into one’s life.

Day Five: Talismans – Momentum #DoMagick
Today’s talisman is to inspire momentum. To institute action from the initial “spark”. The many roads leading from the spark are the opportunities and possibilities – and the half circles and dots are reminders to pause and enjoy the journey every so often.

Day Four: Talismans – Joy #DoMagick
Today’s talisman painting is all about Joy! I chose Egyptian sigils for the gods that I find rule inspiration, insight, creativity, and success. (Ra, Wadjet, Ptah, Atem) This talisman is about manifesting joy in creativity.
