Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. I love symbols, and various alphabets and scripts. The runes above are among the sixteen I’m aware of that are considered as Witches runes. In the center is Hecate’s Wheel, with a bindrune below. The only rune I don’t have…

Thoth Influences of the Day
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. The Thoth deck is my favorite. I love how the artist, Lady Frieda Harris, uses color to illustrate the energy flow of each card. Apparently this deck isn’t for everyone because typically tarot images are more pictorial in other…
Presence is Resonance
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. I’ve been practicing letting things go for a while now, putting them in the rear view mirror as it were. I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to let go of some really big stuff, life changing stuff. I could have engaged…
A Quiverfull of What, Exactly?
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. I’m all for live and let live. Each of us has the right to live as we choose, so long as we don’t hurt others. Enter the quiverfull movement. Evidently it’s a fundamentalist biblical group that seems to think women…
For the Experience of Bees
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. I attended my second beekeeper association meeting tonight, and once again, I was struck by the easy going, almost serene attitude amongst the long time beekeepers. They seem to view life with a certain level of amusement, the…
Earth Magic – Inner Stillpoint
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. Earth Magic Oracle cards, conceived of by Steven D. Farmer, are wonderful. After last night’s Coven Conversations, I realized I hadn’t looked at them in a while. I used to devote Sundays to Earth Magic, but I haven’t done…
Let Flow the Creative Energy of Self
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. I like blending things. Today I infused plantain, chamomile, lavender, calendula and thyme into some witch hazel. It will make a nice skin spray when it’s finished. Usually I put the infusions in a dark place such as…
Runecast: Transformation
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. Nonphysical energy on the vertical axis blends with the expression of physical form on the horizontal axis. In the center sits Hagalaz, the rune of transformation, protection, shamanic passage and hedgeriding. Hagalaz is the rune of the witch. Destruction…
Blessed Be the Hierophant Within
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. Sometimes I pull such cool cards that I can’t believe it. Beginning with The Tower, Death and the 6 of Disks, change for the better is in order. The 9 of Cups and the 2 of Swords bring peace…
Indifference
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. It’s a tough thing, indifference. To matter not. To have no effect. The reality is, it’s impossible to have no effect in the world, despite the efforts of others to convince you otherwise. Whether it’s on a personal scale, or…
Our Health is More Important than Prohibition
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. It’s not easy sometimes, giving up what you believe to be true, particularly when it’s illegal federally and in most states. We fear for our children’s safety, or losing a job, housing, or our parental rights via arrest or incarceration,…
Runecasting: New Bee-ginnings
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. I love fun journals, especially small ones. The runecast sits atop my rune book where I keep all my notes about each rune, bind runes I’ve created and so forth. It’s my go to book for interpretation as well..Crone…
A Blend of Thoth and Odin
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. Initially this began as a landscape spread with my Thoth deck. But when I drew The Hanged Man, I decided to expand the casting to include runes. The Hanged Man depicts Odin, hanging upside down on the World Tree. During…
The Space Within
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. I don’t know why directionality is important to me, but it is. The same is true of point of origin. Given that directionality follows point of origin, I suppose it makes sense. I wrote something about shielding a while back where…
Full Hawthorn Moon Runecasting: Flowing Enlightenment
Note: My blog contains affiliate links/ads from advertisers from which I may earn advertising commissions. I love the Hawthorn tree. Widely known for its association with faeries and witches, it grows everywhere on my property, originating at my husband’s childhood home. Once planted, they come up everywhere, blooming every Spring. Hawthorn may be used to…
