Lady Datura

My Datura's first bloom! Nurtured from seed, it's one of five growing now, others just beginning to blossom. It smells like honey and lemon, and glows even on a cloudy day (like the day I took this photo).

Gift from the Tricksie God

So there I am in Sacramento, wandering around in vintage clothing and burlesque accessory store (don't ask), and there's this pretty in the display case. Which I had to have immediately, this month being all about Hod.

And to think, there I was putting together my Hod altar a couple of weeks ago, realizing that while I have many Snake fetishes and totem representations, I didn't have a double-headed Snake anywhere in the collection.

But you know how it goes. Ask and you shall receive. Even if you have to search amongst tasseled pasties and the most complete collection of breakaway clothing I have ever seen.

Here it is back at home on my Hod altar, a much more serene location than where I found it.
