It's finally October! Today is a great day to spiritually cleanse your home in whatever manner you feel is right. I typically go a smoke cleanse in the names of our family's Hearth Entities, such as Hestia, Vesta, Hekate, Frigg, Loki, and the Tomten and Nisse. It's also a good day for prosperity attracting magiks and rituals. I have a money attracting sigil that works pretty well for us. And I also do the cinnamon thing, except I ask the Spirit of Cinnamon for their help, give offerings, and then blow cinnamon in through my main entrance. Again, another thing that helps us from drown in corporate greed--I-I-I mean "inflation". If you're sensitive to spirits, I'd suggest cleansing and recharging your wards, too. Remember, not all spirits are evil and out to get you. Most are neutral and are just existing. Places without spirits are unnatural. You can also make Spirit House Rules and give your guardians permission to enforce the rules. Happy October. May you

  Family Shrine September 1, 2024 It's September!  20 or so days until it's officially Fall.  I can feel the transitioning this weekend, as it's been very windy, with dying leaves blowing all over, and today the temps were nice.  A lovely day for a cookout on this Labor Day here in the US.  We have the windows all open, letting in the fresh air, and finally giving the A.C. a break.  Here's hoping the weather only get better from here...and not random swings of hell with a jump to winter temps.  I'd like to be able to enjoy fall weather this year. Pictured above is our Family Shrine.  A mix mash of entities, items, and things made by my kids for the Kindreds.  My kids have small satchels for their special spiritual items, such as a stone dog, stone whale, and a stone t-rex.  Let's take a quick look at what else there is, starting with the wall: A framed certificate from ADF stating that the Wren's Nest is an official hearth of the Mother Grove, joining our Fi

In case you don't know, photography is a passion of mine.  I took classes in high school and it was my Major at university.  I've done weddings, family and seniors portraits, pets, wildlife, macro, spiritual, memorial, dancing, sports, boudoir, fantasy, cosplay photography, and basically anything that catches my eye.  I love details and and getting up close and personal with my subjects, and often don't think about the risks to get that shot (most photographers are crazy like that). I've worked in a studio, which wasn't my favorite.  Basically the machines do all the work for you for some cookie cutter ass pictures.  I prefer doing the work myself and creating memorable scenes, especially outside.  Hated studio photography.   I was also part of a small business as the candid photographer.  MV Huhn Photography.  The husband and wife focused on the usual shots, and I was off to the side capturing people in their natural state--some truly beautiful photos of people los

  The Card of the Day is from the Everyday Witch Oracle by Deborah Black and Elisabeth Alba. It's about doing some Earth Magic today, however that looks to you. Maybe it's doing some grounding, gardening, working with herbs and plants, making some oils, harvesting and drying, canning with some hearth magik? Working with crystals perhaps? What does earth magik look like to you? Feel like? Mean to you? In the early mornings, I enjoy walking with my camera and photographing wildlife and looking for animal omens. Today's omen was this beautiful white moth, wings spread, head down. It looked like a lotus flower, which for many is a symbol of spiritual healing. Perhaps your earth magik could focus on healing, be it for yourself, another, or the planet Itself. Thanks for the support! © 2024 Hearth Fox Oracle

Oh, to be a Loki Fly on the wall...or a mint leaf. Sometimes Loki takes the form of a fly for me. I know its Loki because it follows me around and does things that flies don't usually do. Especially when He really wants my attention. Loki COULD just say something to get my attention...but no. Sometimes He'd rather take the form of a fly and drive me nuts until I finally stop swatting and ask if its Them. Once Loki delivers the message, the fly disappears and doesn't bother me...until the next time Loki Fly decides to "bug" me again. © 2024 Hearth Fox Oracle
