Offerings

We didn’t have any appointments on Wednesday, so we decided to go early in the morning to our beloved mountain of Las Mercedes to make an offering, something we had been delaying for a while.

Holy Week Images I

There are so many pics of our blogging break that I’m breaking them into several posts for this week. Monday: Odin’s altar was set on our studio, as we both felt it was the place where he wanted to be. Not finished still, but already glowing with the warmest energy. I never thought Odin would [...]
