Grief,

is a bird that swoops in during the witching hour,

perches on your window sill,

and sings a shallow song that will never be enough.

is a river that stops flowing,

reaches a standstill,

all the life that was once there dies.

is a cloudless sky,

so blue it hurts to look at,

so the curtains close and covers come up.

is a crumbled heart,

like shortbread when you bite into it and everything breaks apart,

but not nearly as sweet.

is the changing of season,

earth tilts on its axis,

nothing will ever be the same.

- Venus de Roux

A few months ago, the most beautiful lunar calendar showed up on my dash, thanks to @etsycult! I immediately added this beautiful work of art by ABJglassworks to my wish-list. Alas, I am broke witch, so I came up with an immediate solution until I can afford to splurge :) 

You will need:

• piece of hobby board 
  
• chalkboard paint
• white paper
• marker
• bottle cap 
• scissors
• glue
• chalk pencil

Step One

Paint your hobby board with the chalkboard paint. I used three coats of paint and sanded in-between so that it would be nice and smooth to write on. This is probably overkill and not necessary. Just paint until you’re satisfied.

Step Two

Use your bottle cap to trace 9 moons. Cut out your moons. Use your marker to denote the phases.

Step Three

Glue on your moons and then add the dates and astrological signs with your chalk pencil. To find the current lunar phase and astrological sign,  The Moon app is perfect! 

That’s it! Thank you to Etsy Cult and ABJglasworks for the inspiration! Please consider supporting the artist if it’s in your budget :)
