Awareness & Consciousness A/W 09-10

Behold...the otherworldly designs of Awareness & Consciousness.

for the love of moss...

"For Strange Women is a collection of natural, handmade adornments, perfumes and meditation oils for sensually acute women with a darker and unique beauty- although strange gentlemen are always welcome as well. I cross Victorian styles and Pagan sensibilities to create products made with connections to nature as well as the past."

Courtney Brooke for Beloved & Co.

I sent Courtney a box of magickal goodness with a Virgin Moon Goddess theme: a Black Forest fox tooth relic, a handmade white deerskin medicine bag (containing New Moon magick) and a set of Moonstone Runes! I didn't give her any artistic direction for the photoshoot...I thought it would be better if she just vibed with the stuff I sent her. She really nailed it...she looks like a Priestess of Artemis! Check out the rest of the photos HERE!!!

"In his cauldron the aesthetics of the occult, witchcraft, pagan religions and black metal is boiled down with cute smurf-like mushrooms and lollipops, achieving strange displacements of their original meanings and references." "I'm not interested in function and logic. I want to achieve transcendence." Fredrik Söderberg

Thanks Nix...you rock!!!

Doom Metal

I'm lusting hardcore over L'Âge d'Or Jewelry by Eric Sæter! I love his fierce, raw approach to jewelry design. L'Âge d'Or (The Golden Age) features casted Crystals, Pyramids, and Peyote! I especially love his Baphomet head ring! It's really masculine but I think girls could get away with wearing it too! His jewelry is now available through his Etsy shop!



I also love these casted bone stacking rings and necklace by Lady Grey Jewelry. Their line has a post-apocalypse feel to it, they feature rugged crosses, skulls, thorns and crystals tangled in chains. I really love their website design too!

Fall Wardrobe Essentials...

The Season of the Witch is right around the corner! I can't afford to be extravagant with my clothing right now and even if I could, I wouldn't! When it comes to fashion, as much as I love over the top avant-garde designs, it's not practical for me. I'm usually running around with my kids and such so I need to be comfortable. I'm all about jeans and t-shirts with awesome shoes and assessories. Anyway, here's what I have on my wishlist for Fall so far:

I NEED a mid-length cloak hoodie made by Lindsey Thornburg!



Belted Harness Mule made by Frye These are the kind of boots that look better the longer you wear them! They make Men's shoes and boots too...check out the Engineer Boots...HOT!
