These spoons are born from a dance between myself and the Wood Genii (Tree Spirit), they manifest by themselves into their form. There's a profound spriritual process in the making of, no pre-drawing is made or any idea in mind about how they would look. Little by little, cut by cut they manifest into this new way of being.

These Spoons are their own worlds, their own conscious. Powerful tools for our individual journeys if used in the right way. In the making process no electricity is used, they are carved only by Axe, knife and gouge.

Spoons are tools of service. To serve you or to serve others, to serve the Spirit or to serve the Matter. They can also teach, as I said they're their own worlds and their own conscious and are a piece of an old Sacred being that is a Tree.

Just as a spoon is used to scoop up nourishment, it can also be used as a tool for scooping up knowledge and understanding for example, as well as many other virtues. They can be used in the old art of scrying with water, or they can be used as a blessing tool. Also as a sacred vessel that protects from outer/unwanted influences to pe*****te whatever you're working with.

All those Spoons are available in our website.

Woodcarving has been a really profound journey to me. An undescribable process where the Forest, the Wood and Myself engage in this beautiful dance and something really magical and meaningful emerge out of it, with no desires or pre meditated toughts on a piece.

It's been a powerful experience that I could never expected happen, a process where in Silence I've been learning so much, about Being but also not Being, about mySelf, about the Spirit of this Earth, about Life, about Death, about Rebirth, about Balance, and so on… A "place" where I can have a clear understanding and a clear vision of things with no judgement, from the moment I walk the Forest to meet the Wood to the moment I'm massaging the oil on a finished piece.

I've gained so much Respect to this process that maybe looks so simple from the outside view but from an inside one, one can realize how powerful this process is! To bridge the manifestation of something into a new Life, or way of Being.

Yesterday totally unexpected, we've found ourselves in
one of the most magical places we've been till now, into
the margins of the Doubs River. A beautiful place almost untouched by human hands, appart of the ruins of a chapel built in 1630s, completly imerged in the woods.
And, just a few meters away from that ancient chapel, while walking in awe, I was called by something, when I turned my head around I've found myself face to face with Belladonna. It was my first time meeting Belladonna growing in the wild. Such a beautiful meeting, a message and a blessing for this Equinoce that is emerging, my heart was instantanelly filled with such awe and gratitude by that calling.

It's amazing how things happen when we let ourselves go with the flow, with no expectation or destination in mind, it's when all the magic really happens. When we open ourselves and we let life manifest by itself.

So, let life breath through you because there is trully no other way around.

As some of you already know, since October last year
me and my partner Mariana we are living in Valeé du Jura, on France/Switzerland border.

We are amazed by the pristine forests here in the mountains, full of life and ancient energy. It
helps us on the journey about learning more about ourselves, growing and finding our place here.

About the Toad Folk, we are working on a lot of new things, planing a website where we will have

and even a blog to keep sharing with you our experience through life.

So, just a little update for you to know that we still here holding on to ourselves. Hope you too are
doing Strong, always enjoying this experience no matter where you find yourself on the path. keep learning everyday a bit more about yourself, growing and finding that peace that runs deep within you!

The life of the solitary, he cannot tell you, since the splendor of his garden is so abundant. He appears to you to be poor in spirit and in life. He gives you a small insignificant fruit, which has just fallen at his feet. It appears worthless to you, but if you consider it, you will see that this fruit tastes like a sun you could not have dream of. It gives off a perfume which confuses your senses and makes you dream of rose gardens and sweet wine and whispering trees. And you hold this one fruit in your hands dreaming, and you would like the tree in which it grows, the garden in which this tree stands, and the sun which brought foward this garden.
And you yourself want to be that solitary who strolls with the sun in this garden, his gaze resting on pendant flowers and his hand brushing a hundredfold of grain and his breath drinking the perfume from a thousand roses.
Dull from the sun and drunk from fermenting wines, you lie down in ancient graves, whose walls resound with many voices and many colors of a thousand solar years.
When you grow, then you see everything living again as it was. And when you sleep, you rest, like everything that was, and your dreams echo softly again from distant temple chants.
You sleep down through the thousand solar years, and you wake up through the thousand solar years, and your dreams full of ancient lore adorn the walls of your bedchamber.
Then you also see yourself in the totality.

a solitary, a gift and yourself 🐸💫

Deep inside the Forest, deep inside my Self.
Never forget about who we really are and where we came from.

Sit with a tree
Let yourself be
Listen to the wind
Breath in, breath out
Close your eyes
Shut the mind

Open your heart
Listen to the birds singing
This life is.
This life is.

The Drum is beating
The Earth is speaking
The Heart is pumping
The Spirit is flying
The Plants are singing
My Soul is healing

The River is running
The Mother is loving
The Father is creating
The Son is dancing
