The importance of ritual for creativity often goes overlooked. We find ourselves constantly racing against time, striving to meet deadlines, achieve goals, tick off pressing tasks. Yet, ritual nurture and enhance our creative practices. I remember always being drawn by Jo March's ritual for writing. This character of Little Women, a fiery and independent writer, created a sanctuary for her creative endeavours in the attic, a space imbued with the rituals of solitude, ink-stained pages, and the steady rhythm of her pen against paper. And her writing cap!
I've read Little Women many times and I admire Jo very much. I remember thinking as a girl, I'd love to be like her. That's exciting to see you trying your hand at weaving and your Satellite shawl is looking lovely.
I too have to create a ritual for creativity, at the moment I have a morning ritual of waking up before sunrise & lighting a small fire outside & have a nice cup of tea, this helps me focus my brain for the day ahead & move my body a bit before I sit & crochet for hours on end....
we have a million jobs on the go right now with building a homestead from scratch, I need an attic :')
