Today's reading I'll be using the Womanrunes by Brigid's Grove and ROAR oracle by MJ Cullinane.  I'm also feeling Lilith and Hekate present. Lilith and Hekate, what message do you have on this IWD? Lilith through the ROAR Oracle: " Ground and be still.  Learn to listen better instead of only reacting.  Ground and gather facts, not opinions.  Not imagery.  Fact.  Cold, hard, un-coddling facts.  Blunt, Direct.  Be smart, not a raging fool. " I've drawn: Joan Beauchamp Proctor "Follow your instincts and you will find the right path." I feel like this is more of that 'listen less to others--peer pressure to think, act, and do'.  Trust yourself and get the facts before acting.   " Don't jump because those around you are.  Who are these others?  Do you align with them?  Friends?  Strangers?  Do they pay your home bills?  Are you giving them free rent in your head?  Why are you going along with the mob?...

In the Skaði post, I talked about a dream that I had years ago with two Polar Bears. Years later, Skaði revealed that the bears were Her and her ex, Njörðr. I learned that He's the Norse Vanir God of the Sea, father of Freyr and Freyja. Other than the dream, I didn't meet Njörðr again until 2020-21, when I was a member of the Wyrd Sanctuary. I think it was after one of our rituals. I tranced to a twilight desert that was empty, yet had weird shadows that stretched across the barren landscape. The time passed from twilight and slowly dimmed. I found myself standing next to a massive vegvisir, half submerged in the ground, yet ticking like a clock. Although not an ancient symbol--definitely not viking--vegvisir is like a compass that represents wayfinding and protection. Although I've read that it's also not a compass, which is fine, but that's what it is to me. I didn't even know what the symbol was when I first saw it. Giant and strange, the whole scene was. In...

 As I wrote my post for Artemis , another Huntress was in my brain, wanting a post, too.   Years ago, like in the early 00's, possibly late 90's, I had a dream that's still stuck with me.  In the dream I was sitting on a mound or an igloo, with two polar bears.  A silent male and a talkative female.  In my experience, animal spirits don't use human language, but the Deities disguised as animals do.  In the dream, I joined the female and we walked and talked.  The quiet male stayed on the other side of the mound. I still can't remember what we talked about.  I thought the Deity in disguise was Artemis, but it wasn't.  For a long time, I didn't know Who these bears were. 2014-15, I was introduced to Loki through a story where He tied his balls to a goat in order to make a  Jötunn  laugh.  It was so ridiculous and it remains my favorite Loki myth.  The  Jötunn  who laughed was Skaði--a bow wielding Wintery Gian...

TW: Suicide My Artemis Shrine from 2015 Today I'm going to talk about my relationship with the Greek Goddess of the Hunt, Artemis .  Daughter of Zeus and Leto, and twin to Apollon.  One who never wanted to be married, and so Zeus actually honored Her request.  She chose to hang with Nymph Handmaidens and hunting hounds, instead of a horny, dramatic husband. I don't think that means She was a virgin in terms of never having sex.  Back in the old days, at some point virgin just ment unwed.  She did have lovers, just no husbands or wives, as far as I'm aware. Like all or perhaps most deities, I believe Her to be pansexual and polyamorous.   Artemis is a protector of the forests, animals, ethical hunters, girls, the moon (although I don't see this one, why not the Earth--everything else about Her is earthy), and is associated with birth.  Once she was born, Artemis helped Leto give birth to Apollon.  She's associated with the good and bad stuff ...

 At the bottom right of my blog, there's a Facebook warning about how I was locked out of an account, if you received friend requests, it wasn't me.  3 years ago, when we moved, FB let me into my main account, but refused to let me into my witch/pagan account because it "didn't recognize location" or some crap.  Even though I had my password, back up emails, and whatever.  Complete lock out.   Well, now it's different. The other day, whilst googling for deity info, I was taken to a pic on FB, and I saw at the top log in it had my old pagan name Hearth Foxlynx.  Dotted password and all that.  I decided, what the Hel?  I gave it a go.  Facebook sent a code to my email and bibbity bam I was logged in.   3 years ago it was such a damn fight.  Now just a email recovery.   I got into my FB and started a massive deletion of family photos, art, old posts, unfriendings, and HFO ads, sales, info etc.  I left groups an...

 On the 15th, my Kindreds nudged me to sign up for a ritual on Feb 17th.  Non-COoR style.  Focusing on Love, Friendship, and Healing--with oneself.   Monday I had a weather-caused migraine.  Tuesday I realized that the ritual was that night, not today.  Actually, writing went really smooth.  I'm glad it was Non-COoR, because I really wanted to focus on Self-Love.  Although my COoR rituals tend to be long, you can do them quickly. Druid in the City: Minimal ADF Core Order Ritual Last night, after I wrote the ritual and was working on my sigil (because I was opening a well of source energy, I wasn't going to be able to do my sigil with them), I was possessed by the Kindreds who wrote a message for the Druids.    Basically it was telling us to Shine Brightly.  Be not afraid.  Use our voices.  To let our power flow. Because of that, I was tired going into the ritual an hour later.  I was worried that I wouldn't be ab...

February 11, 2026 : Tonight's omen brought to you by Eir, Freyja, and Artemis through the Goddess Guidance Oracle by Doreen Virtue. In the beginning of the ritual, I began to shuffle and three cards jumped out: Rhiannon, Artemis, Freyja: Now is the time to be bold with your magik. You are protected. Freyja was overshadowed by Artemis who condemned those who do generational curses--saying that if innocents are harmed by fear and hate, the caster would be visited by Artemis and The Cailleach. Generational curses makes you no better than ICE--bigots are cowards, regardless the side you think you're on. Then I drew three cards from Eir: Cycles, Past Lives (this life), Transformation: Your country is going through shadow work. The roots are exposed--fleshy earth ripped from infected roots. A great healing is happening, even though it doesn't feel like it. The infection is exposed--Warriors and Healers are working. Warriors fighting and Warriors protecting Healers who're ampu...
