My new babies were birthed on August the 1st 2013. In a field whist camping!
.
.
Sometimes, do you need to destroy a thing in order for something new to rise out of the ashes?
.
I chose to sport Elflocks because I wanted to foster that Wild Woman Energy that I felt had diminished a little since pregnancy, birth and ‘big change’.
.
They are only 2 weeks old in these pics. I love my new-borns, all 39 of them.
.
.
When I was young, whenever I saw another woman with dreads I was in awe of her confidence. I wanted some of that confidence and wildness to rub off on me!
.
I didn’t realise it until I wanted ‘proper’ dreads that they were different kinds.
.
Hoby had the skills and was happy to give me what ever style I wanted.
.
I am glad that I discovered the folklore of ELF-LOCKS, FAIRY-LOCKS and WITCHES KNOTS because DREADLOCKS didn’t quite sit right. The reasons for having my hair like this bore no link to the usual stereotypes.
.
The affinity I felt was with that ‘Wild Woman’ archetype‘, with that confidence and ancient feminine wisdom. A truly Witchy Woman is complex. You can not put labels on her.
.
I chose to have Locs to mark this important Rite of Passage in my life. Being pregnant and giving birth were amazing and incredibly empowering. I loved it. Becoming a first time mum in my forties simply knocked the stuffing right out of my body, lol, and for a short while, my confidence.
It was time for a change…
.
Hoby was up for the challenge, lol.
.
I am hoping my hair will be a cool ‘tool’ to help me on my path of deeper self-development and awareness. I am hoping that they might outwardly reflect back to me a feeling, still in the process of exploring, that I have on the inside.
AND… Spiritual hippy dippy dribble aside…
I have had them put in cos they suit me and simply look AWESOME!!! lol.
