Blodeuwedd oracle card photo, woman in white in front of arched wood and a river; From the Avalonian Oracle: Blodeuwedd The Affirmation - "I open to the potential within me, allowing the sweet fragrance of what is possible to attract experiences that will help me grow into the person I was meant to be. The expectations of others are about their needs, not my own, and I am not required to sacrifice my vision to conform to the limitations of others. I am fearless in the face of challenge. Honoring my inner wisdom gives me wings, and I fly free."

Knitted sweater yoke with owl and flowers motif.
My owl sweater is coming along. Inspired by the old Welsh legend of Blodeuwedd, a woman who was created out of flowers for her husband (who is under a magic curse that he cannot marry a mortal woman), but who betrays him and is turned into an owl as punishment. 🧶 #knitting #owls #blodeuwedd

Inspired by the old Welsh tale of Blodeuwedd, the magical maiden created from flowers and later transformed into an owl. This was very much based around the initial stages of her life. It’s finished, but will need a coat of varnish.
