Let‘s conquer the heat wave with this castle in winter!
I can‘t wait for the world to cool down, calm down and slow down, and for autumn‘s colours to sooth everyday into a soft and magical atmosphere. I can‘t wait for hot chocolate and cinnamon and pumpkin soup. For rainy days that actually feel refreshing, and for forests to turn golden. For coloerful knit wear, for orange socks to reach out of the bootleg. For wind and early darkness to be enlighted by candle light. I just can‘t wait!
This photograph of „Burg Rode“ in Herzogenrath taken in winter is a reminder that at least for us these days are about to come again.

Emotional towards swans dying in the lake near by, and about people who were born in the even more unlucky corners of the world.
But for now, take this winter castle photograph as a jinx to the universe for better days!

This was my longest quiet. My witch took a few weeks off. I have a lot of things to say, dark and urgent things! But my health made me pause everything. The first time in my life I’m saying that. I’ll be back in the next few days! Until then, enjoy the witching mood at…
Why do we stop doing things?
“When for health reasons we stop being ourselves, what is left then? ”, I complain to my witch just when the cold and dark season is ready to arrive. I am usually decorating a cake when the message I am dreading arrives. The pastry bag in hand, I read one cancellation after another. Of course,…
