Romuva camp & Black Horned Moon

09.08.12.lifestyle0

In the middle of August I went to Romuva, old Baltic religion and culture camp for the sixth time. The word Romuva has meanings of “temple” and “sanctuary”, but also “abode of inner peace”. This time I only spent a weekend there, so didn’t get to take many pictures. Some magical things happen every year, this time it was sound of the bagpipes in the night somewhere on the mountain, mythical creatures swimming in the swamps and stars that sometimes fall and we shout at them. Even if things change a lot every year, I still say about this place that if you ever went there, you won’t be searching for home anymore. Pictures from the last year and from 2010 are on my blog.
 
We spent the whole morning baking this dark bread with garlic and salt, don’t think other countries have it, you don’t know what you’re missing out on (perfect for beer and kvass).
Group hug on the last evening and some speeches that always make you want to cry a bit
A week later I went to a festival named Menuo Juodaragis, or Black Horned Moon in English. It is a festival of contemporary Baltic culture focusing on the heritage of pagan tradition, Baltic culture revival, post-folk trends and avant-garde of contemporary music. We had such a lovely time, as always, even though it rained all the time.
She’s Vėtra Trinkūnaitė, daughter of krivis (Lithuanian’s highest pagan priest). She has an amazing voice, in the festival she performed with Cruachan.

Hope everyone is having a nice and chill beginning Hope everyone is having a nice and chill beginning of the year. At least I’m definitely not pushing myself hard on new goals or resolutions yet and giving myself time, as it’s not been easy. It might be a new year for which I’m really hopeful for, but same me and a lot of the same issues to overcome, it was nice to just chill for a little bit. Let me know how you’ve been getting on❤️

First few pictures from my shoot with @charlotteabailey_ which I loved, its so good when a shoot just feels like hanging out and creating something together ❤️(see the good vibes of the second pic 👌)
1, 2 or 3? Hope you had nice and cosy holidays des 1, 2 or 3? Hope you had nice and cosy holidays despite everything going on this year. I know many of us have been away from family and friends and it’s really not been easy. But this will pass, and I really hope for a better next year ✨
