About MagicSoulDesigns:
Welcome, magical beings! Feel free to read about our shop and our mission right down below or scroll down to "About the story behind the shop and about the owner..." to go straight to the part about our own story and who we are.
⭐ABOUT THE SHOP AND OUR MISSION:
This shop is led by two twin sisters, and all of the magical art designs you will find here are designed by us. We are self-taught intuitive artists and design each piece of art ourselves by using our own hand-painted watercolor art illustrations mostly in combination with other licensed clipart and elements that we then edit with digital painting - and graphic design tools to create a whole new magical piece of art, filled with positive energy and magic.
Everything in this shop is full of magic, joy, creativity, childlike wonder, and mystical vibes and earth magic and has the purpose to open one's heart to become receptive to magic and to the miracle's of life again so that we may start to remember like a child... to remember the beauty life has to offer.
You will find magical, heart-opening earth- inspired fairytale art mostly featuring magical woodland fairytale scenes, whimsical nursery art, magical cards and inspirational, cute, and unique clothes like t-shirts. All of our designs are inspired by earth magic, animals, fairycore, cottagecore, and all things magical and mystical.
All of our art is inspired by love and peace, the Waldorf philosophy, and the unseen yet existing magical creatures that are invisible to the eye but can only be perceived by the innocent, open heart of those who are ready to gently and carefully listen. We believe that these magical creatures can help us open our hearts more fully to love, peace, and harmony, and ultimately bring balance to an imbalanced world.
We believe that art has a special way of speaking to our subconscious mind in a subtle and gentle, yet powerful way. It helps us reach places within ourselves that are often buried under deep layers of conditioning and awaken to our deep inner authentic truth and inner wisdom. Art can open our hearts and touch our souls in times when words fail to do so. Specifically, loving, childlike designs can do a great deal in helping us open up to our own feelings and reawaken to a very primal, joyful, authentic part within ourselves—our own inner child—that still remembers who we truly are and can guide us back to ourselves and make us feel alive again.
Our mission with all of our art designs and this shop, in particular, is to spread love, light, and magic. We aim to send it out into the world through magical and childlike art to remind each of us, our children, as well as ourselves, of the magic we all carry within us. Our designs are meant to help create peace, harmony, and joy within ourselves, and through our own inner peace, bring back peace and harmony to our magical mother planet, Earth.
Each design is meant to soothe our sensitive hearts and souls and spread light, especially in difficult times like these when the world isn't always as peaceful and loving as we would wish for.
Our art speaks directly to an innocent, joyful, playful, and magical place deep inside our hearts—a place that lies within our souls and bodies. You can call it whatever you wish, but we prefer to call it the divine inner child. It is this vulnerable yet very powerful place within us that still remembers who we truly are. It is a place of true authenticity, joy, freedom, peace, magic, and love.
If we dare to connect with this vulnerable, often deeply forgotten part of ourselves, we will be able to find truth and inner wisdom. We will be guided to the place we were always meant to be.
That's why all of our designs speak to the inner child and seek to help heal our inner child, which is deeply traumatized for most people and is therefore buried under many layers of conditioning, anxiety, and fear. But it is where our life force, all of our joy, and true power are held. By unlocking this potential, we become who we truly are. We become alive again. Reborn.
To help our beautiful mother earth, we try to be as eco-friendly as possible even when starting out and still not having all the financial resources needed. That's why we appreciate each customer and sale so that we can grow as a small business and help our shop become even more eco-friendly. We print our art on eco-friendly giclée paper/fine art paper, and our clothes like shirts, etc., are made of eco-friendly materials. Please read the product description for more details.
⭐ABOUT THE STORY BEHIND THE SHOP AND ABOUT THE OWNERS OF THE SHOP:
MagicSoulDesigns was born out of the longtime dream to design art that would help others to open their hearts, open up to their own inner magic and heal on a deep level through reconnecting with a very deep and primal part within themselves, the part that is our inner divine child. This vulnerable part, when having been traumatized, shuts itself off completely from the world so that we stop feeling and perceiving the world through the innocent, joyful, curious eyes of a child and block ourselves from the magic within ourselves, from the childlike wonder life has to offer. We are shutting ourselves off from the magic around us, that magical life force that lives in each creature and living plant. It is magic that is born out of the earth, born from her beauty and love.
As twin sisters, we always had the same interests in life. We grew up in a very artistic, musical Russian and Jewish family, with both parents being professional musicians. At a very young age, we started to pursue a professional music career, but in our hearts, we always felt there was more. We never really fit into this very strict music industry but were enormously intuitive and highly sensitive children with a huge passion for intuitive art, intuitive music, and, most of all, for the things that would bring harmony, peace, and joy to our very sensitive hearts and souls. At this time already, we were dreaming of opening our own creative shop to express our souls and bring creativity to this world.
The deep inner desire to bring peace and mostly true healing to our own hearts and to the hearts of others was especially coming from our own family situation. Losing our loving father at the age of 10 and living in an inherently emotionally abusive home, we were desperately longing for harmony.
What kept our hearts open during these difficult times was our connection to magic and to love. We always felt this strong connection to magical realms, to fairies, unicorns, angels, mermaids, and forest creatures. We always knew there was more. We would not stop believing even when everyone around us was calling us naive and crazy.
We were lucky to attend a Waldorf school/Rudolf Steiner school, a private school that helped us expand our artistic skills and connect to nature. This school allowed us to keep our magic alive for a much longer time period than what other children would experience in other schools, and we would feel at home and a sense of quiet, at least for the time we were there.
After school, we studied classical music but after a while, realized that we weren't in the right place and that our souls were longing for something else. We quit our studies after many years and started our own healing journey, working with our inner child and healing and integrating deep trauma through our own body wisdom.
What was specifically healing for us was our renewed connection with mother earth- the great mother, our reconnection with the feminine essence of all life. Having been raised in a city, this was the first time we truly were able to connect with this deep natural force within us and around us. It was her, nature, that gifted us with the most magical healing and helped us through this difficult healing process.
At this time we renewed our connection with earth magic and mystical and magical realms hidden in nature, invisible to the modern world. That’s when we started to reconnect with magical creatures like fairies, other forest creatures and many other magical light beings. Slowly but steadily, all of our fragmented pieces came together, and we started to feel what was longing to be born out of us.
We started to work as trauma-sensitive, sacred feminine body mentors specifically with a focus on CPTSD, helping others to heal their inner child through the power of the body, voice and nature . We also started to use our musical skills and love for healing music to create intuitive sound healing journeys and healing music filled with healing frequencies. At the same time, we were called to open our first shop, something we had in mind since we were children!
We then opened this shop, our second shop, specifically aiming to bring very childlike, sweet designs into the world that speak to our own inner child, that help us reawaken to this long-forgotten, very alive, and joyful part of ourselves that, when unlocked, releases so much life force and brings us back to life more fully than ever before.
We hope to inspire each magical soul that visits our shop, no matter where you are on your life journey, and to help our magical mother earth heal through each soul that makes a difference by simply being themselves and opening their hearts for more peace, joy, and magical love. We are one!
