SiltiCrafts creatrix Kristine<p>Part 3 of "Let me introduce myself to you" so we can find each other. </p><p>I'm a plants' person. I grow and tend plants (food, medicinal, magical, tea herbs and gourds for crafts) and their symbiotic relationships with each other and the environment in my semi-wild garden (zone 4) between rural woodlands and farming lands. I forage herbs, berries and mushrooms in local woods. I also believe humans can develop special relationship with specific plants. I do that by growing them, learning about them and using them. Besides growing and loving, I like to explore all kinds of plantlore, especially folklore, mythology, folk beliefs and superstitions, esoteric associations, spiritual uses and symbolism of different plants. <br>Currently I'm working on a collection of plant-print plaques and articles under the name "Botanica Spiritualis". It's a slow process that will continue this entire summer (the goal is exhibition). I publish this journey of exploring common plants wrapped in esoteric lore and mystical associations on my Patreon. I think the post length here will allow me to document this journey here as well. (I struggle to write in a sentence or two, especially if the limit is generous.) </p><p>When it comes to building relationship with plants and working with them like allies I think all kinds of information matters. Sometimes the environment in which the plant grows or its' physical characteristics tell more about the plant than a Pinterest post of the magical properties of it. Sometimes a myth or old wives' tale matters more than chemical composition of the plant, and sometimes it's the other way round. Sometimes it takes years or growing, tending, observing and using the plant to start feeling when it's needed and how to use it. I believe in subtle energies. It takes time, plenty of learning and experimentation to really know plants and find your allies. I mean, sorry, but I don't think folks under at least 40 should call themselves herbalists and offer helping others with their plant knowledge. It doesn't mean I won't listen anything about plants coming from young folks. That perspective and understanding matters too, and I would love to discuss plants from all the weird angles and perspectives with anyone who seeks this kind of connection. I'm 37, by the way, not a herbalist or a botanist. Plant enthusiast, lover, grower and explorer. </p><p>Feel free to geek out about your favourite plants here. </p><p>Do you have plant allies? <br>Do you work with plants in any form? Do you have special relationship with any plant? </p><p><a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/plantfolk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>plantfolk</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/plants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>plants</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/botanicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>botanicals</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/herbs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>herbs</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/herblover" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>herblover</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/herbgrower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>herbgrower</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/esoteric" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>esoteric</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/magical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>magical</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/folklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>folklore</span></a></p>

SiltiCrafts creatrix Kristine<p>Hi! 👋 I just joined, and while I figure this out, let me tell you a bit about me.</p><p>I'm a maker of dolls inspired by nature, folklore, labyrints of myth, mind and magic. My dolls are mostly witches, and when they leave my home, they often become altar dolls. It's been a weird and interesting journey of doll making for the past 7 years, 600+ dolls now live in homes and collections around the world.</p><p>Besides crafting dolls I'm into permaculture, paganism, self-sufficiency, foraging and neverending self-development. I'm a forest dweller, mushroom hunter, food grower and herb lover deep in the countryside in Latvia (North-Eastern Europe). All of that I might occasionally share here. I would love to connect with like-minded people, so, if you're here, say 'hi'!
