discipline welcomes beauty

Hi everyone. ^_^/ Just dropping a line to announce that 1) a handful of items are on sale in my webshop, and 2) a near and dear project of mine is available as well. It's a cleaning & organizing grimoire.

It feels appropriate for spring & the start of the zodiac year. Discipline and cleaning & organizing are things I seem to be known for. In my personal space, I'm very fastidious about things being clean and organized, and I view it as something I do for myself yet also feel conflicted about the deeper meanings of its values. So I decided to write about it.

I used to be a very messy child. You couldn’t see the floor in my room, and I would dash across the crap pile, and locate things by triangulating their last known whereabouts by crap quadrant. One day - I must’ve been seven or eight - I cleaned up my room.I don’t know why I cleaned it that day out of the blue. I had just decided, is my only recollection. It surprised my mom, as did the reason. I’ve kept my personal space organized ever since.I wonder now if maybe I hadn’t realized the burden it was to my mom who would have to spend the whole day cleaning her child’s room every few weeks.

Here’s some of the section titles:

• The bitch’s retreat

• Not purity. Not order.

• Control.

• Take good care of your tools and they’ll take care of you.

• Keeping altars.

• Beauty as a sensation.

• Letting things go.

• Just remember that you’ll have to live with it.

and others.

So yeah, you can buy it online now here. HMU if we're friends and you want to get an in-person copy. =)

BY THE WAY BITCH
WE MADE IT THROUGH WINTER.
