Pennsylvania Dutch Hexmeister at large

Out of art and spiritual practices of a Pennsylvania Dutch hexmeister comes the Wisdom of the Gods, delivered by the Völva of the North. These words are meant to generate an inner dialog with self and with the Powers That Be. The blogger is only the messenger.

About Me

Name: Jj Starwalker
Location: Corinth, ME, United States

Designer and artist Jj Starwalker, learned traditional "Pennsylvania Dutch" hex painting as a young girl from her grandmother. She followed many career paths through the years, only occasionally taking up the brush. When she did, however, she was always drawn to circular forms -- a counterpoint to the rectangular format of her work as the creative director of Vision IPD design studio in Beaufort, NC. In the last few years she has returned to the roots of her heritage, infusing the typical barn blessings with new insights and her signature use of metallic hues. She has exhibited work in many media, including early interpretations of the hex designs in batik at The Egg and The Eye -- now the Craft and Folk Art Museum in Los Angeles, CA. Jj features her artwork on her art website www.DutchHexSign.com. For Internet and print design work, visit www.VisionIPD.com.

Words of Wisdom January 1

Bring out and share the gifts of the past. Learn from hard times and
move on.

The word of the day is history.

---------------------------

Happy 2008 to you all! My intuition is telling me 2008 is going to be a VERY GOOD year! I have not gotten hit over the head with that feeling for a very long time... it's been, of late, mostly "more of the same."

Not a year without ups and downs, of course, nor without challenges... but they will be challenges well met and conquered. And in the end, when December 31 rolls around, and we look back at where we have come the thought that will echo through the Ethers will be "YEAH!"

So be it.

The Hexenmeister
