(Re)Connecting with the Cosmos
I recently did a meditation during the ADF Online Weekly rituals. For folks who attended, or people who are just interested in hearing it, I’ve edited it together with some sound effects. It’s my first meditation of this kind, so please be kind. You can find it on YouTube by clicking the image below.
A new side to Hagalaz
A few months ago, I started to get Hagalaz a lot in my (roughly) daily divination. I usually see similar runes often, but rarely do I see the same rune quite so often. I would have been easier to list the days that I didn’t get Hagalaz than those where I did. Hagalaz is not…
A Day of Prayer to Freya
A few months ago, I started up doing a Day for Prayer for Freya. This was originally inspired by a the World Odin Prayer Day. Unfortunately, it seems that the group who did the Odin’s Prayer Day was not one that I’d like to associate with. But, this is the internet and I can do…
The power of scent
Have you ever had the experience where a scent wafts by and you are instantly transported back to an experience that you had when you were younger? The scent of mangoes brings me back to time on the beach, eating thin-skinned mangoes and having the juice drip down my arms – it’s a time of…
Experiencing Energy
You’ll often find people describing the way they “see” energy. There are the aura photos that are supposed to show the energy around someone, and I do know some individuals who describe energy in visual terms. Not me though. I feel it. I know that there are at least some other people who experience energy…
Pertho – The Loot Cup
One morning, not that long ago, I drew Pertho for my morning divination. Pertho is a bit of a loaded rune. It’s often called the loot cup or the dice cup, and can be considered a rune of luck. But, for me, there is so much more. There is a side of Pertho that is about…
On Protecting Ritual Spaces
Over my many years as a self-identified Pagan, I have had the opportunity to work with a number of different ways of protecting ritual spaces. While many Wiccan circles define a firm boundary to the ritual space, there are many other traditions that don’t. Even the traditions that do have the firm boundary sometimes don’t…
Offerings and gifts
As I mentioned in my last post, I make a lot of offerings in my daily practice 🙂 Five or six times a week, I make devotional offerings to various Kindreds. Most of the time, I’m making offerings to the gods that I work with more closely, some of the times it’s to my ancestors or…
Letting go of the old
On Samhain night this year, I took the offerings that I had made over the last season and burned them in a cauldron on my grill. The grill itself is a gas grill, but I was using it for a safe space to burn my offerings. Multiple times a week, I make offerings in my…
