So I am usually very picky about the planners I use, and I am loyal to one brand. But this year I simply could not resist the cover of this one... 🥰🥰

A hardcover planner with a black cover that features an intricate gold and green design. The center of the design is a green luna moth, surrounded by lunar symbols and flowers as well as gold motifs.


Today is looking up :D Shooting promo videos for social media for the mythology book. At the Pompeii Café in Budapest :)

I drank like 5 cups of latte during the shoot.

I can see the gods now.

Me (woman in her thirties, red hair, glasses) sitting in the corner of a café, drinking a cup of latte. The coffee table has a mosaic theme, and there is Horatius quote on the wall behind me. My book, The Silent Goddess: Forgotten Greek and Roman myths, is on the coffee table. The cover is blue, with art featuring a goddess surrounded by stars. I am wearing a white and blue Roman outfit and a blue hairband.


Hello Transylvania! Starting my week-long #storytelling tour organized by the Holnemvolt Storytelling Festival in Sepsiszentgyörgy. I love returning to this part of the world. People are warm and friendly, the audiences are lively and amazing, and the scenery is gorgeous. 🥰

So, it's September, and it's time for the Mineral Cup! My favorite time on Mastodon 🥰

Incidentally, it's also the weeked of the Budapest Mineral Show. Where people can vote for Mineral of the Year 2025 and Fossil of the Year 2025 😊 3 candidates each. The geologists at the booth are lobbying hard for their favorites. I was won over by the opal lobby. And got a button!

(Also pictured is a pink opal bracelet. Because pebbles!)

Bookmarks featuring the candidates. Mineral of the Year 2025 candidates are Opal, Hematite and Aragonite. Fossil of the Year candidates are Viviparus, radiolaria and Equisetites. The bookmarks say VOTE! in colorful letters. They also double as rulers.
Photo of the voting table. There is a cardboard box for the voting slips, decorated with photos of all the candidates. Also colorful information pamphlets on the candidates as well as bookmarks and postcards, and small baskets of giveaway minerals.
Up close photo of my hand, holding a button on my palm. Button has a photo of a colorful piece of opal, and a yellor border that reads "Mineral of the Year Candidate 2025 - Opal". I am also wearing a bracelet of pale pink opal pebbles.


Calling all #nature and #MarineBiology friends, can anyone tell us what these little jellies are? Beach, Isle of Arran.

Clear see-through jellies on a sandy beach. They are small, size of the end of a thumb maybe, and have vertical ridges all around. Kinda shaped like acorns.


I heard someone complaining "Why did they have to put pixel art on the Museum of Ethnography?!"

Reader, they are traditional cross stitch patterns.

Saw this stork today, sizing up an ice cream truck outside the stork sanctuary. Wonder what they were in the mood for. 😄

Went on a forest bathing tour at the Jókai Gardens in Budapest. It was all dripping after a huge thunderstorm, with millions of snails out and about, and it was lovely. It was led by one of the nature reserve's educators. In the end, we picked up (strictly) fallen things to make tiny land art. 😊

A small mandala made of fallen maple leaves, maple seeds, and sticks. Sort of looks like a circle of dragonflies.


Another Minoan seal design, because why the heck not 😄 Evans described it as "goddess reposing on the waves of the sea". Just chillin. It's one of my favorites. 🥰 The second pic is the original artifact.

An oval glass pendant on my palm, 2cm wide. It features the black line drawing of a stylized Minoan figure, a woman in a flounced skirt and bare breasts reclining against a blue and green background of stylized waves.
Black and white drawing of a Minoan seal impression, same design as the one before.


Everyone in Brussels is all Manneken Pis this and that. But no one tells you about Ridiculously Jacked Baby Hermes 😶

A stone statue in a park, featuring two small children sitting next to each other. One of them is wearing Hermes' hat and holding a serpent staff, and has very well defined abs and pecs.


It's also #WorldTarotDay, so shout out to my favorite tarot decks :) Telluric Tarot, Silhouettes Tarot, and the amazing Shadowscapes Tarot 😊

#tarot #cards #image
The box of Telluric Tarot with a few cards spread out. It is a vividly colored watercolor style deck. Each card has a mineral and a plant on it, which combine their symbolism to represent the card. E.g. Obsidian and Nettle.
Silhouettes Tarot cards scattered on the carpet. They are black, paper shadow theater style silhouette designs of whimsical scenes, with brightly colored backgrounds.
A few Shadowscapes Tarot cards spread out. This one is a lovely, soft watercolor deck with graceful designs.


Encounter on the morning walk 😊 Waited to make sure they made it across the path into the hedge.

The Hungarian Ornithology Society has these collectible pins they sell for donations at various locations around Hungary. There are more than 300 species included, but the catch is, they don't tell you which pins you can find at which locations.

Today I went on a scavenger hunt and managed to find a care at the fourth try 😄 Yay!

Enamel pins lined up on a cardboard sheet at the shop. They represent various animals, including a wolf, a brown bear, a golden oriole, a wren, a deer, a blue tit, a kingfisher, and a crane.
The crane enamel pin up close (common crane). It is pinned on a green piece of paper with the logo and info of MME (the Hungarian Ornithology Society).
