The Magic of Hats and the Worlds they Bring



The Hat Realm
*
Hats
are
Powerful
Inspiring....
even
Mysterious




There are even those truly special  Hats..
that are
Filled
with Magical energies


Hats are Creative
*
They invoke the Magician within
and Dance with Creative energy
*
Hats invoke a spectrum of abilities
and can also represent a person who carries
Vast Energies...
 The Many different skillsets, talents and abilites,
qualities and Gifts one has tapped into
*


Hats as... Disguise
They can Both Hide and Reveal
Hidden Knowledge
Hidden Identity
*



Hats as Shapeshifters
Hats can charm you..
They can charm you into many different worlds
They can transport you into New Roles
and Ignite New Pathways to walk upon
*


Hats also create protection from the elements,
they are comforting in some way
The can cloak or disguise
and empower as well
*



Hats captivate me..


Simply placing one upon my head..
makes me feel like I am about to embark
on some secret symbolic journey..
an epic-adventure
like the Enchanted Fool in the Tarot
Walking into a World
of Metaphor and Dreams
and shapeshifting
between the realms
of time space and beyond

what do they make you feel?



Hats are Inspiring
They adorn us with a sense of character and persona
and Expression
they embody a sense of awe
they can conjure the invisible
The Magician's hat is like a portal
 for Transforming Creative Energies
*
where do all those rabbits come from!?



Phrases of hats...

A place to hang your hat
*
wearing many hats
***


Shapes of Hats
are also interesting
*
Conical Energy/Pyramidal Forces
..a wizard's or witches hat..invokes energy and creates energy.
*
Round~ Spherical energy, circular dome,
the rim; round/ never ending like a ring,
or like an Orb of Creation


Hats inpsire me..they are spellcasters of Wonderment
They instantly transform me
I feel the magic!
we all love to try on hats..don't we!

Hats as Treasures
I also love hats that once belonged to others..
*
A reconnection with special souls
*
I have a few that belonged to my Grandfather
They are truly special to have!
*
There is just something special about Hats..
Mythic, Mystic,
Magical and Symbolic
and Meaningful
*
~Victoria Pettella~

Do you have a special hat?
Do you have a secret love for them?
Hope there are many Hat Kindreds out there...
*
Wishing you
the Magic
of The Hat Realm 
and the Worlds
they bring to life ...

Embracing the Impossible
Knowing it was always real..

The most powerful one of all
Creates freedom.

of
Creation
*

The magical charge of Copper's energy

enhances the current..
sets new pathways into motion...



A Deep Midnight Feather

They bring the Gift of
new seedlings

and the silvery moon Blooms

Silver is also very magical,
 and very powerful,
It is a purifier.
Connected to the Moon

An Intuitive energy,
Silver is cosmic and creative

with natural rhythms, cycles and energy.

Reflections: Spooky and Beautiful


Reflections
Spooky and Beautiful
*
The Sunlight was blazing through one morning..
with reflections all shining
from these old vintage pictures!

I couldn't resist such an Invitation to play!
Always answer the call!


I loved the powerful light beaming
from this one..



And this sweet soul
Charming boy in red


His beautiful magic Hat..pointing towards
a portal of windows..




The window of his Soul
shining and opening..
Inviting you inside





The Story Behind this picture, is pure magic.

Although long ago this photo still captures my heart....
At the time..
I had just lost my sweet dog, she passed away.
*
I was crushed..
One day , I went out for a ride..away from the city..
stumbled across a new antique place
that I had never been beofre.
*
I walked in..feeling lonely..
trying to find something to keep my mind off
a Broken Heart..
*
I walked around..and then felt drawn
around a corner
to my fascination....
there it was on the wall..
this picture!
This little girl holding this beautiful dog..
a dog that looks just like mine!
*
A magical moment that was....
my spirit friend..comforting me with
a sign..
I am here!
*
Of course I bought it!!
Sold ............to the lady in black!
I left with the Happiest Heart ever!


 More interesting reflections..tricks in mirrors
See any floating pumpkins
and tea cups??

..they are appearing outside...from inside

I thought that was funny!
( from my halloween tea post!)

More floating pumpkins...
such ghostly spirits drifting in mid-air
and in daylight!

Hope you enjoyed my silly spooky reflections!
Have a magical day!
see the magic everwhere...and the beauty in light

Candles and Lost Loves





Candles and Lost Loves
Hidden beneath
 a silver wing


Jewels adorned every corner
of her heart
the spark  in her eye
ignited His soul

Lost Treasures lay upon 
a velvet cloth
now abandoned
they belong to no one



When Candles are lit
they bloom like roses
they rise and glow
 The warmth opens my spirit
I listen...
and  I think I hear
 a lady whisper....

"that her lost love... is the key
to her silver wings"


 so I took pen and ink
and wrote it all down
I prayed and asked 
to show himself now

but he did not answer
and she vanished away
And I am left
with 
glowing poems
 candles
and amber flames


Heart of a Wizardess

This photo series:
A vintage framed satin picture
that used to hang in my parents home
I used to stare at it as a child
and wonder about these two souls!
I wondered who they were..
and also wondered if
I'd fall in love one day too..

I love to set a scene on fire..
Candle glow.....a part of every wizardess's day!
Yes even in daylight...it is pretty in photographs.
romance...butterfly wings..
decadent jewels..velvet and satin
 and a bit of mystery!
A spot of magic in a small moment
each day igintes
the wings to dance just abit more.
Everyone needs to dance

Wishing you all  a spot of magic in your day

even a line or two of silly-go-nowhere- poetry
childhood memories
and treasures that warm
the Heart and spirit with mystery


Have a Sparkling Week ahead!
Thankyou for ALL you awesome comments
...and new followers..
kisses and hugs and sparkles
Victoria~
