Ways to feel & look like a dark goddess
☾ taking inspiration & looking at the darker deities depicted in mythology. Circe: Greek goddess of Sorcery, Hecate: Goddess of the Crossroads, Kali: Hindu Goddess of Death, Lilith, Maeve: Goddess of Intoxication, Medea, The Morrigan: Irish Celtic Goddess of War, Sekhmet: Egyptian Goddess of Wrath.
☾ humans have both a bit of light and dark inside of them. Like nature itself we are both fierce and calm, unapologetic and compassionate, wild and gentle. Therefore, harnessing the more untamed side of yourself can give an aura of darkness, mystery and mystique.
☾ allowing yourself to feel not just the pleasant, pure, pretty and positive stuff. But enabling the right to also feel the wild feminine sovereignty and wisdom that sometimes we tend to hide.
☾ colour palette: sea water blues, moon greys, tarnished silvers, midnight blacks, sapphire blues, plum purples, blood red, emerald greens, brass gold, burgundy, dark teal.

☾ things to do: wearing a perfume vial necklace filled with Poison by Christian Dior, leaving the alluring trace of the scent wherever you go. Reading mystically eerie stories or Grimm’s Fairytales at night under the moonlight. Tending to your garden, we’re you have planted cascading ivy, red roses, black dahlias, queen of night tulips and some helleborus ‘onyx odyssey’. Hosting night garden banquets with friends; making your own wine while serving it in goblets, an array of cherries, blueberries, plums, figs, pomegranates and dark chocolate truffles placed on the table with scented candles filling the air.
