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.
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.

The gods ride the ethers and speak in rhyme.
The word of the day is muse.

Spin me a tale of the Maying Moon, dancing the tune, soon to be June.
The word of the day is bard.

When you are alone, sit with me by the fire; you are known and loved.
