This artwork honors Baba Yaga, the ancient Slavic forest witch and guardian of transformation, a powerful archetype of wilderness, initiation, and ancestral wisdom.

In this design Baba Yaga’s legendary hut, perched upon enchanted chicken legs, emerges from a birch forest—a symbol of renewal and the cycles of life. Beneath its shadow stands the maiden who appears throughout Baba Yaga’s tales: the seeker who enters the unknown to discover her own hidden strength. A falcon soars above as a messenger of vision, freedom, and the untamed self. In one tale, the maiden follows her beloved, who takes the form of a falcon, into Baba Yaga’s. Yet the falcon can also be understood as a symbol of the maiden’s own untamed spirit—the truest part of herself that she is destined to seek and reclaim. Like many ancient initiation stories, the meeting between maiden and crone is not a battle between opposites, but a reunion. The maiden and Baba Yaga are two faces of the same feminine power: innocence and wisdom, becoming and knowing, the wild heart and the ancient instinct. Through her encounter with the crone, the heroine awakens to her own inner wilderness and returns transformed—whole, empowered, and connected to the deep ancestral forces of the forest.

This is a handmade linocut print of Bear and Woman entwined. It honors how, deep within so many of our ancient and living heritages, Bear returns again and again—in folklore, ritual, ceremony, and legend—as a living presence and a creaturely comfort within the human mythic imagination, especially during moments of transformation.

Whether Bear appears as lover, mother, child, healer, midwife, shaman, or guide, within the spell of the telling, Bear offers us her hallowed den—a breathing, fluid space where psyche and nature, creature and cosmos curl together as one. Here, in the enduring pulse of her wild presence, she wraps us in her warmth and fur holding us steady as change reshapes us.

This design features a Desert Southwestern landscape inspired by a story of Bear as a witness, guide, and ancient maternal presence through life’s transitions in Sonja Grace’s book Dancing with Bear and Raven. She shares that, in the Hopi and Navajo traditions, bears and ravens are liminal beings—bridges between worlds, as well as guides and sources of comfort during profound moments of change. Here, Bear emerges as a creaturely heroine: a wise and protective presence who walks alongside us through thresholds of transformation.

May this artwork turn a corner of your home into a den of dreaming, where Bear brings protection and renewal, and Raven offers wisdom, insight, and quiet introspection.

This handcrafted linocut print features a pack of wolves running through a desert dreamscape that doubles as the profile of a woman in motion—her spirit woven into earth, sky, and shadow. Inspired by the wild woman archetype and the beloved myth of La Loba (Bone Woman) retold by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés in Women Who Run With the Wolves. This piece honors the sacred act of remembering and resurrecting the forgotten parts of the wild instinctual self. Ideal for Jungian lovers, story keepers, those walking the path of the sacred feminine, anyone who is enrolled by the rich folklore of the Desert Southwest, this print is a talisman for those reclaiming their voice, instinct, and untamed soul.

The First Edition 2024 prints are now sold out. As each color is hand-mixed, there are slight tonal variations between editions—most notably, the Second Edition features warmer yellow hues in the sky, whereas the First Edition leaned more toward soft pink tones.

PRINTING PROCESS:

This multi-block linocut uses two carved blocks: one for the background sky and running woman’s profile, and another for the wolves, crows, trees, and bushes. The background is printed first and left to dry before the foreground is printed on top, with some hand-painted details added. Because of this layered process and hand-mixed colors, printing takes longer and slight variations are expected. Please look closely at the photos for details, the handmade nature of this print gives it an artisanal crafted quality which is part of its charm and authenticity, setting it apart from a digital reproduction. For a photo of the exact print you’ll receive, please contact me directly I would be happy to do this.

PAPER SIZE: 12" x 18"

GIFT SUGGESTIONS:

This linocut print makes a meaningful gift for anyone drawn to the wild feminine—especially those who’ve been moved by Women Who Run with the Wolves. It’s perfect for someone in the midst of reclaiming a buried part of herself—whether that’s her voice, her creativity, or a once-lost passion now rising back to the surface. It also speaks to lovers of wolves and wild places, of folktales and handmade things, and to those who cherish ancient lore and earth-woven wisdom rooted in the storied landscapes of the American Southwest. This piece belongs in a home where myth still matters. Crafted for altars, studios, and soul-lit spaces.

This traditionally handcrafted linocut print is for the wild-hearted woman who shares a life with an inner creature heroine—one who has never quite forgotten the language of wings, wild instinct, and woodland wisdom.

In folktales and mythologies, a companionship with an owl is often an apprenticeship with insight and double-sightedness. To have owl eyes is to observe the world from two different perspectives, to notice what others overlook, to trust instinct as much as reason, and to find one's bearings in both shadow and light. May this print call you home to the feathered wisdom that has always kept watch within you, ready to guide you whenever the forest grows dark.

This linocut print is a ceremonial reminder to reclaim your personal power, embrace your wild femininity, and embody the spirit of bird heroines. The design features a loon, snowy owl, cormorant, goose, and swan alongside a woman, celebrating the wild feminine, mythic storytelling, and the transformative power of myth.

This large handcrafted linocut print is inspired by a sacred White Mountain Apache folktale about a cosmic Weaver who continues her sacred task — weaving the threads of existence — even as Raven pecks relentlessly at the edges of her fabric. This powerful image embodies the eternal tension between creation and undoing, light and shadow - a symbol of sacred perseverance, cosmic balance, and divine transformation. In essence she is the Weaver of Divided Worlds, the Threshold-Keeper, the Mediatrix of the in-between. It is an honoring of the one who braids the broken back into belonging, weaves what is wounded into what is whole, interlaces the lost and the living into a shared tapestry.

This original design includes this sacred seamstress with her companion Raven in a Yin Yang shape alongside wild North American plants and flowers native to the Southwestern United States including: thistles, blackberries, wild reeds, poppies and bristly foxtail grasses and plenty of black feathers!

PRINT SIZE: 16" x 16",

PAPER SIZE: 20" x 20"

MATERIALS: It is hand printed with Black Caligo Safewash non-toxic archival printmaking Ink on two different paper options: archival quality handmade Hosho Paper, which is lightweight, has a rustic feel, is slightly translucent in either white color or a warm natural tone; or white Arnhem 1618® Printmaking Paper which is imported from the Netherlands, which is a heavier cardstock weight. Please see photos for the difference in color between white and warm white.

HANDCRAFTED: Because every print is individually hand-carved, slight variations and natural carving marks are part of what makes each piece a distinctive work of handmade art. Authentic carving textures and small handmade variations are a beautiful part of the process, adding depth, character, and one-of-a-kind charm to every print.

GIFT IDEAS: This makes a perfect gift for someone whose experiences resonate with living in the threshold between worlds however this might be defined. It boldly honors the vitality that comes after great loss, and how these two opposites are forever entwined. It appeals to those drawn to pagan and witchcraft-inspired artwork, lovers of crows and ravens, folklore enthusiasts, or anyone fascinated by the regenerative cycles of life, and yin and yang. This print celebrates the sacred feminine, mythic storytelling, indigenous mythology and the eternal interplay of creation and unmaking.

PACKAGING: This print will be carefully rolled in Kraft paper, packed in a recycled clear bag and shipped in a recycled cylindrical tube. A one-page insert including a description of the folktale is included with the print. Gift wrap and a handwritten note to a gift recipient is possible, please mention it in your note to seller.

This handcrafted linocut print celebrates the timeless and enduring relationship between the natural world and the feminine. A woman whose body blossoms into flowers and plants, whose eye becomes a bird, and whose hair unfurls as clouds, this hand-carved botanical print invites us to remember that humans are not separate from nature—we belong to it.

Rooted in the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Sky Woman creation story, this artwork honors the celestial woman who descends to Earth carrying seeds that she plants on the back of a great turtle, giving rise to Turtle Island (North America). Inspired in part by Robin Wall Kimmerer's retelling in Braiding Sweetgrass, the print is lovingly filled with North American native plants, herbs and wildflowers, including: California Poppy, Cattails, Echinacea, Elderberries, Maple seeds, Mesquite, Dandelion, Prickly Pear Cactus, Valerian, and Wild Rose—each detail hand-carved with care.

While grounded in this sacred Haudenosaunee story, the imagery also speaks to the enduring archetype of women woven with the living world. Whether you encounter her as Sky Woman, an Earth Mother, a flower maiden, a creaturely heroine, or simply as a woman inseparable from birds, plants, and the land itself, she invites reflection on our relationship with the more-than-human world and the life-giving abundance of the Earth.

Perfect for lovers of folklore, mythology, botanical art, herbalism, animism, and nature-inspired decor, this original linocut print brings a sense of wild beauty and rootedness to living rooms, altars, gathering places, and homes. It also makes a thoughtful gift for gardeners, bird lovers, plant enthusiasts, storytellers, and anyone drawn to the wild feminine and the timeless wisdom of the natural world.

SIZE:

PRINT SIZE: 18" x 24"

PAPER SIZE: 20.25" x 25"

Each print is hand carved and hand printed with Caligo Safewash (non-toxic) relief Ink on traditional archival Awagami Select Hosho Paper - a cultural treasure from Japan, handcrafted from natural materials with a rustic handmade feel. This artwork makes a powerful addition to any altar, herbalist space, or sacred corner — and a meaningful gift for anyone who honors the wild, wise, and feminine spirit of the land.

Please note: Each print is hand-pulled, making every piece truly one of a kind. Some prints feature more rustic textural markings in the white areas, while others have a cleaner, more minimal black-and-white contrast. Most of the time, however, they are in-between. If you have a preference for either a more rustic, organic look or a crisp, modern finish, I’m happy to accommodate when possible. I have included two options “crisp modern” or “rustic textured”, but in honest truth it is more like a spectrum. You may request a photograph of the specific prints available to choose from if this matters to you.

A one-page insert including a description of the folktale is included with the print. Gift wrap and a handwritten note to a gift recipient is possible, please mention it in your note to seller.

This handcrafted linocut print is inspired by the ancient winter goddess Perchta, and her connection to the snow goose and the spinning wheel. With one foot in the weaver’s world and one in the feathered wings of a white bird, Perchta shapeshifts between an elderly woman and a white swan or goose, and represents what has been and what waits to be born. She is the sacred guardian of the in-between, the turning of the year from one to the next, a Winter Solstice and Yuletide queen weaving in light from darkness. Perchta lives in multiple worlds and mediates between them and for this reason through her we can hear, see, and feel the wisdom this vital and soulful sense of bothness offers us. It is said the first snowflakes fall from her downy goose-feathers as she shakes out the sky, a tale the Brothers Grimm once echoed in the figure of Mother Goose — but the story, like Perchta herself, runs far deeper than it seems.

This handmade print includes the following details: The Goddess Perchta with a winterberry crown, a snow goose, feathers and stars.

In many traditions, the hare appears not alone but in a recurring symbolic triad—hare, moon, and the feminine. From Asia through Persia and the Nile, into the forests of Europe and across the Americas, this mythic trio migrated by way of traders, wanderers, travelers across the Silk Road, through spoken story, visual art, recurring motifs and symbolic pattern. . . .a cross-border animate intelligence that persists, holding distant places in storied relation, remembering the whole.

This handcrafted linocut print is inspired by this mythic triad in the Chinese folktale of the Jade Rabbit & the Lady on the Moon along with a variety of traditional Chinese medicinal herbs in their flowering form: Dong Quai, Astralagus, Ginger, Poppy & Licorice.

MATERIALS:

It is printed with Caligo Safewash (non-toxic) Relief Ink on Hosho Paper, both of which are archival quality. Awagami Select Hosho paper is a handmade paper from Japan, a cultural treasure and time-honored heritage that has been handcrafted from natural materials. It is acid-free and archival quality.

COLOR:

It is hand printed in Prussian Blue and Muted Jade.

SIZE: Print Size: 10” x 16”, Paper size: 11" x 18"

STORY INSPIRATION:

The Jade Rabbit and Lady on the moon are beloved folk companions in ancient Chinese mythology and folklore. Jade—ranging from translucent white to soft yellow, like the moon itself—was once believed to possess mystical, medicinal, even immortal powers holding both yin and yang. Ground into powder, it was thought to enhance longevity, and the Jade Rabbit became its sacred keeper, pounding this precious elixir on the moon. It is no surprise that jade, the rabbit, and the moon mirror one another in their liminal, threshold qualities: jade with its dual nature, rabbits who forage in the twilight, and the moon with its shifting phases. And perhaps women, too—daughters of the Divine Feminine, lunar beings in human form—move through cycles that echo this same quiet rhythm.Since their appearance in 6th–7th century cave temples in China, the beloved Rabbit-and-Moon motif continues to call us back to the old Taoist knowing: that resilience lies in those who can soften, recalibrate, and let themselves yield to the gentle alchemy of being remade by change. . . qualities long overlooked in a world so quick to harden its edges.

GIFT IDEAS: This would make a wonderful gift for someone who loves the story of the Jade Rabbit and Moon Goddess, or someone who appreciates Asian folklore and traditional Chinese medicinal herbs. It would be perfect for an aficionado of herbal medicines and folklore, and someone who appreciates all things handmade.

PACKAGING: This print will be carefully rolled in Kraft paper, packed in a recycled clear bag and shipped in a recycled cylindrical tube. A one-page insert including a description of the folktale is included with the print. Gift wrap is possible, please mention it in your note to seller.

SHIPPING: All my prints are packaged and shipped out within 1-3 business days. Free shipping for U.S. Customers. International customers, please purchase this print on Etsy. I no longer provide international shipping through this website.
