Plunge into silver worlds with these sounds —
I AM FROM THE GENERATION WHO SNEAKED OUT to go buy the latest fashion magazines. Because I lived abroad, magazines were really really precious items that I would keep preciously somewhere in my room. I am also from the generation of Internet, MSN, Google search, endless scrolling on Pinterest and always hungry for new little gadgets. I love to weave analog to digital, practical to magical, tangible to ethereal. Why should we limit ourselves?
ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO WHEN MY CHILD WAS born, I created one of my most cherished project: Mystic Gazette. I loved curating this little digital magazine every month. It was a pleasure to create long-form content that was holding all the beauty I was stumbling upon daily. Then obviously, like any new mother, exhaustion caught me up and I barely had time to nurture this project. Sometimes the most nurturing thing we can offer ourselves is to take a step back and rest.
THEN I UPDATED THE FORMAT OF MY NEWSLETTER Which I honestly adore. I adore writing every month these long newsletter which are a little update on what is happening inside of my heart but also is a curated space for all the tabs open in my brain. But there is just so much that a newsletter can hold.
AND SO HERE WE ARE. Bringing bits of Mystic Gazette to this new world. Creating a different form of editorial and sharing mostly with you the weather in my heart.
I WON’T PROMISE YOU THAT I’LL BE ABLE TO RUN this every month (although I’ll do my best!) but I promise that it will always come from a place of love and devotion. I promise to myself that this space will hold all these inspiring moments that I get to traverse in my daily life.
I WANT THIS SPACE TO BE A LIBRARY OF INSPIRATION. For you and for me. A space where we get to read someone else’s story, see the latest ritual objects I have in mind, be inspired for our Venusian moments and disconnect for a moment. I hope this space will bring you a second of inspiration, an exhale in between time and just a little moment for yourself.
THE SILVER ISSUE — This month will all be about Silver. I am a very gold type of girl but there is a deep serenity that emanates from Silver whenever I connect to it. I believe we need a lot of serenity in our lives, and especially during Libra season to help us see through the fog. In this issue you’ll dive in a conversation with Kerrilyn Pamer, founder of CAP Beauty. I’ve always been a big fan of her work and the way she leads her life. We wanted to show the work of the brand P Nina who creates the most somptuous jewels. Peyton replies to our sweet and salty interview in the most delicious way. And throughout this issue, we will plunge in different silvery worlds.
Life is full of surprises, good or bad but there’s always a silver lining when we choose to look at the bright side of the moon.
Silver, the mirror of the soul, reflects our essence as others perceive it. As a gemstone, it embodies the tender hues of hope and the warmth of unconditional love, guiding us through the quiet realms of meditation and mystic visions. Its touch is soft, yet it resonates with kindness, stirring the currents of sensitivity and awakening the deep well of psychic gifts.
Like a whisper in the wind, silver dances through the mind and body, a conduit of thought and voice, enhancing eloquence and presence. It draws away the shadows, replacing them with light, a balm for the weary spirit.
This sacred metal of the moon, bathed in lunar glow, shares an ancient bond with the tides, moving with the rhythm of the ocean’s pulse. It connects us to the divine, a conduit of spirit and a vessel of light, ever guiding us toward the sublime.

To me, there is so much “silver” in Los Angeles. A long time ago when I was living in L.A, I had the opportunity to attend the LA Phil at the Walt Disney Concert Hall designed by Frank Gehry. The hall was designed from its core outward, so the audience encircles the orchestra on terraces that radiate outward, creating an intimate connection between concertgoers and performers. It was envisioned as a sanctuary for music — a place where sound could be not only heard, but also seen and deeply felt. The way music and sound travels in the room was beyond anything I’ve experienced. Frank Gehry thought about this place being a conduit of sound. More than just a place or space, but a literal mirror for the soul of music.
Our hairs are our karmic antennas. It is a place where we receive reflections from the universe and our souls. I have held many classes about energetic hygiene and there are many ways to clear the baggage of energy we carry but, one ritual that is most often overseen is the simplest one of tending to our hair. Hair remember. They hold your story, your legacy, your footprints, dreams and feelings. I often think of our hair as a direct line to our inner and outer universes. Brushing them helps them release the external pollution, the dust we daily accumulate with the unnecessary noise. Adorning them expands your connection to yourself and your universe. Touching them as a act of self love. Like sweetgrass, your hair remember. They remember the songs and the tales you told yourself. Sometimes, we need to release old stories to move into new chapters.
Does anyone else see stainless steel interiors literally everywhere??? I went down a huge rabbit hole investigating stainless steel design and apparently, it was never actually meant to be something aesthetic. Stainless steel kitchens and interiors were initially just used for practical reasons, but now it's the new aesthetic obsession, and I love it. While on the outside stainless steel might appear pretty cold, I actually don’t think it is at all. Like silver, this beautiful material inside of your home reflects something that we haven't seen or couldn't see before… reflecting hidden beauty. Transforming cold. Mirroring truth. Creating expansion.
