Happy Mother's Day Weekend!

To all mothers and other parents who may not use ‘mother’ for their kids. To the Kindreds, too! Happy Mother’s Day to Vestia, Hekate, Frigg, and Loki! I made a Memorial Book for my mom via Shutterfly. It arrived yesterday and it’s huge. I wanted a large photobook for some of the pictures, but I didn’t realize that it was THAT BIG. The thing extends about 1.5 inches from the book shelf. I guess she won’t be blending in with the rest of the photobooks. Fitting for a diagnosed narcissist, I guess. It arrived yesterday. I hadn’t planned on getting it around this time. I made it a few months ago, but with Shutterfly discounts and gift cards, I was able to get it and a memorial ornament for $85 and I got my youngest his baby book for $0. I wasn’t as excited for my mom’s book, as I am my son’s baby book (which I wasn’t able to make when he was a baby, like I did with his brothers. Instead of 0 to 6 months, his book is 0 to 6 years). I’ve made a baby book for each kid, which includes mundane, ...

Burial Rethink

To Be a Tree or Not To Be a Tree? Until I heard about tree burials, I just wanted to have my body tossed in some deep woods to be consumed by the carrion eaters OR since that’s NOT an option, to donate my body to science after this soul has left this meat suit. Then I met my husband and we both decided that we wanted to fertilize a tree. He wants to be a cherry tree and have a sign that says, “EAT ME!” Because of course he does. I’m partial to birches and oaks myself. I don’t know that we’d have tree options, though. Nor do I know how much a tree burial would be. One would think that its more affordable than putting a large hunk of garbage in the ground. But then the “green” alternatives tend to be more expensive than the fancy over-priced caskets. On Midspring, I was sitting outside with my Spirit Stick communing with Nature and enjoying the weather. Doing the 2 Powers Meditation and breathing deep. Lately I’ve been focusing on my seiðr and runework studies and practices. I was thinki...

Rabbit Rabbit!

Blessed Midspring yall! It's morning of May 1st and it's raining off and on.  It's supposed to be rainy and stormy for the next few days.  Course the weather apps aren't super accurate.  We had rain this morning, but the storms we're supposed to have all day have vanished from the accu-weather app.  I hate the app, it's so inaccurate.  There's no storms, yet it says to expect storm this afternoon.  Too vague.  And because Google is being weird again, I can't share screen shot from my phone. But enough about annoying inaccurate weather apps, it's Midspring! Yesterday my family celebrated Midspring because today it was supposed to be storming all day.  We went to a park, played catch, explored a pond, walked, and ended at the playground.  Then ended the day with ice cream.   However the night ended with an adorable Bold Jumping Spider in my kitchen.  It was just as fascinated by me as I was by it.  I love spiders, especially...

My Sacred Wheel: Midspring

 This is what my Wheel of the Year looks like (my Sacred Year actually has more holy days than 8): Midwinter - Feb 1st - https://substack.com/home/post/p-155668258 Spring Equinox / First Day of Spring - March 20-23 - https://substack.com/home/post/p-158712101 Midspring - May 1st Summer Solstice / First Day of Summer - June 20-23 Midsummer - August 1st Fall Equinox / First Day of Fall- September 20-23 Midfall - November 1st Winter Solstice / First Day of Winter - Dec 20-23 The country is in political chaos, and yet that big ole wheel keeps on turning. May 1st has many names across the cultures and spiritual paths, such as Beltane and May Day. I call it Midspring—lesser known, but still a name. A name that I’m glad to know that I’m not the only person to use. If the Spring Equinox is known in some regions as the First Day of Spring, it only makes sense that May 1st would be Midspring. Obviously this all depends on the ever changing climate in the different regions all over the ...

Psychic Aftercare

  Today was Dayton Pagan Coalition ’s Psychic Fair at Kettering Polen Farm, here in Ohio. Overall, today went really well! I was pleased with the turnout, despite the chilly day, and out of 15 20 minute slots, I had 9 customers. I’m kinda glad that I only had 9, because one of those wiped me! Not completely out, but it was an intense session! It’s not easy holding an angry God back—this deity wasn’t angry with the person, but with their situation and the assholes in it. I regularly practice consensual possession, but for in-person events, I can’t do that, because I’m in a roomful of others, and it ain’t all about me or that entity. So I give entities control over my arms and hands, so They can write, draw, and use the tools. This deity—I’m surprised They didn’t break the pen (which has happened)—tore up my notebook with angry, hard writing. There was one moment when this God was really “pushing” on me with His energy. I was able to calm and ground Him down a few times (T...

DPC's Psychic Fair on April 26th, 2025

 I was waiting until Dayton Pagan Coalition posted my ad for the Psychic Fair to post this, but they still haven't posted it.  Usually they're on top of getting everyone's ads out before the week of an event, however, I also know they're looking for graphic artists . Sooooo, if you're in the area of Dayton, Ohio, on April 26th, drop on by Kettering Polen Farm for the 2025 Dayton Pagan Coalition's Psychic Fair.  Here's their Facebook page and their main website .  Hearth Fox Oracle will be there offering Psychic Readings.  $35 for 20 minutes.  I'll have my usual gear with me, such as the pendulum, cards, runes, and myself, of course. Ugh Google's being annoying about posting pictures again, so having my personal ad wouldn't even matter right now.  If you're in the area, drop on by and support local business! Thanks for all of the Hearts, Follows, Subscribing, Purchases, Bookings, and Recommendations. I really do appreciate the support. Trust ...

Judgy Writers

You know what I’m not enjoying about Substack—the ablism and classism. Knowing the difference in spelling between there, they’re, and their isn’t a sign of intelligence or kindness or anything. I have dyslexia. I know grammar rules and spelling, yet I have to rely on programs to not get torn apart by grammar assholes on the internet who would think me dumb and unworthy of writing, period. Guess what? The AI and programs ain’t perfect either. They still miss mistakes and get things wrong, sometimes they don’t even provide correct spellings at all. Sometimes the suggestions from the programs make no damn sense. Also not all word to text programs are that great either. We can’t all afford the “perfect” ones to please yall’s sophisticated palates. Sometimes I don’t want to use the programs, because I don’t want to sound like a robot or like everyone else. I want to read/sound like me—I tend to write how I speak. There are many reasons why someone might not have the best grammar, like maybe...

The Difference Between Spirits and Gods

 A Recent Trance Possession Experience. On Wednesday, April 9th, I attended a weekly ritual with my Grove. It was a Round Robin, where people can volunteer for parts. I felt Spirit pushing me to sign up for Omen. Divination is my favorite part of ritual and if no one else wants to do it, I volunteer (I really do encourage others to volunteer to practice, to get comfortable, and so on). …..But with me, given that I practice trance possession and automatic typing/writing, I never know how the omen’s going to go. Sometimes it’s normal, or as normal as it can be with me. Other times it’s just a channeling—me telling the audience what I’m hearing/seeing. Well, the last couple of times that I’ve done the omen, it’s been partial possession, which isn’t the same as channeling . It’s not. Possession is hardcore and can be dangerous shit. You have to know who the fuck you are—what’s you and what’s someone/thing else, and how to “come back”. It’s not the same as channeling. Stop w...

Practicing Divination Every Day Pt.2

Practice Makes Better In Part 1, I talked a bit about when you get your new tools—cleansing, protecting, storage, and the different beliefs about what may or may not be in your divination tools. And also how beginnings sometimes make the mistake of only practicing when they have important questions or crisis. Today I’m reposting this lesson that I wrote for my psychic students in 2023. Teachers, Mentors, and Pieces of Paper You’ve got your tools cleanse and protected, now its time to start using them. You can take workshops, classes, and/or courses—you can seek out teachers and mentors if you’d like. Just be specific about whether or not you’re seeking human or incorporeal mentors. Back in 2014, I was not specific in who or what my psychic/divination teachers were, and the Other answered. Hekate and Dionysus were my first psychic and divination teachers, followed by Others later. In 2020, thanks to a friend—Serendipity Wyrd—I met Mama Gina LaMonte who was offering an Experiential ...

Practicing Divination Every Day Pt.1

 An old post from March 9, 2023. -------------------------------------------------------------- What works for some, doesn’t work for all. Some beginners make the mistake of only using their tools when important matters arise--I am totally guilty of doing this and it burned me out the first time I tried to learn divination. Not all divination questions need to be super serious, nor is divination just for special occasions. In order to get good at most things, you have to practice. Divination tools aren’t just cards and runes , they’re anything that you use for divination, even yourself. Often times I don’t use any tools at all, just me, but if things aren’t clear, the tools are certainly helpful. Sometimes just shuffling cards or runes helps me to connect and get into the right headspace for communication, but I may not actually pull anything during that session. Something that is common when someone is doing a reading with me, is that I almost always have a pendulum going, mean...
