Midsummer Honeysweet - Brainstorm

 As Lynyrd Skynyrd sings in Sweet Home Alabama , "Big wheels keep on turnin / Carry me home to see my kin" which eventually yes, we will be seeing our ancestral kin because that's how time and cycles work.  The Wheel of the Year turns again and we are days away from August 1st - Midsummer and Honeysweet .   I'm both excited and not.  I dunno, every since the 12th the energy's been weird, and I don't know if it means anything yet.  Then again these are interesting times we're living in--an unconstitutional war, ICE killing and kidnapping innocents on the streets, parasitic produce, etc. Here's a post about cleansing and grounding , which I strongly encourage yall to do. I'm also not hearing honey bee spirits or The Melissae, which is odd for me this time of the year.  I did purchase a wasp toy from The Dollar Tree though--on a whim.  Wasps are powerful protectors and cursers.  But minus doing omens for Virtual Fire, things are pretty quiet for...

Heaviness

Oooffff, heavy energy is in the air. I first felt it on the 12th, and it's steadily being getting heavier and heavier. Cleanse and ground, yall. Check your protections. Redo them if you need to. Take care of yourselves and look out for your neighbors and communities. I took a cleansing shower to rid myself of some of this heavy energy. In my bathroom I have a large plastic cup dedicated to shower cleansings. I add a pinch of Pink Himalayan Salt and 4 pinches of epsom salt to the cup. Pink for self love and healing and 4 pinches of regular epsom salt for cleansing and the Kindreds Three and the Spirits. I add warm water, swirling the mixture clockwise, and I wait for any Deities to come forward. Majority of the time it's Shiva the Destroyer and Óðinn. Sometimes it may be Eir, Hekate, Sunna, Sister Moon, or an Earth Mother, which for me has been Jörð. Tonight it was Shiva and Óðinn. Holding the cup up, I asked for Blessings over the water. May it cleanse me of all unwanted ...

Queen V's One Year Anni with Us

 Today marks 1 year of us bringing Queen Jimmy Ventress inside of our home and lives. She arrived on July's full moon (9th or 10th) 2025 and decided that she lived here.  She was thin, super preggo, and loving.  Not shy at all about laying on me and letting the kids and their friends pet her.  At one point, Ventress belonged to our Crazy Cat King neighbor next door, who was known for having a bunch of cats indoor and taking care of the ferals and strays.  He'd often take in preggo cats and then when the kittens were adults, he'd try to find them homes or release them back outside.  According to him, Ventress was about 1-2 years old and an experienced mother. We started feeding her bone broth and cat food. July 15, 2025 A friend took her to the Humane Society, where they aborted the litter, spayed, and treated her for fleas and ear mites.  We thought she was going to be put up for adoption or stay with a foster.  Nope, after a couple of days she wa...

Earth Song

Last night Evan led a Welsh Ritual and asked me to do the Omen. Another Druid recorded what I said.  Norse Earth Mother—Jörð "Yerth" or "Yourth":  Earthquake, earth cracked open; look inside  “Learn our songs, play our music, and listen”  Drumbeat, earth beat as well as heartbeat  It doesn’t matter if you are good at it, just do it. You don’t have to be a master; the point is to listen.  Mary Magdalene Card—unconditional love and patience Play a simple heartbeat, close your eyes, listen  Practice it, let your mind go and let images come and listen  Card Dana—High Priestess, you have divine knowledge, your inner heartbeat, connecting to the heartbeat of the earth; help others with spiritual teaching—spread the knowledge'  Listen—do what the chorus of voices have said: Learn the songs, play the music, and listen. You can use anything as a drum, it doesn’t have to be fancy; wherever you are comfortable, just do it—it doesn’t have to be a drum, u...

Practice Makes Better

Help, I think I have a problem...I keep merfolkifying my friends.  I have more in the works...lol North Carolina Lures by Foxlyn July 10, 2026 At least I'm arting more, getting more practice in. Working more on smiles, noses, expression, turned heads, lighting, shading, and blending. This morning, I saved this large beautiful moth from my cat and ended up taking one of my best moth photo--bug photos, if I'm honest. By Foxlyn July 12, 2026 Super chill moth that I had to encourage to walk onto that wood.  Thank you Nature Spirits! --------- Thanks for the support! Face to the Sun. Trust in Joy. Follow the Dewdrops... - Priestess Foxlyn

Thoughts About Working with Justice Gods

This image came across my feed the other day and I've been thinking about it and working with Justice Entities every since. Is it smart to work with Justice Entities, especially when atrocities have been and are legal?  Their domain is to uphold the law, regardless of morals.  Morals are extremely subjective, just as our laws are.  Way back when, many pagans owned slaves, it was normal to conquer, rape, and enslave.  Normal and the law of the wealthy and powerful.  In some parts of our modern world, slavery is still legal.  Murdering based solely on superstition and hate (African witch hunts, for example) is legal.   The Gods aren't human.  They see a huge picture that we cannot.  They don't serve us.  Their morals are different.   What ICE is doing is legal, according to the Orange Chump in Charge and the MAGA Cult.   What will the Justice Entities do?  Who will They favor?  The rich and powerful, the ...

Lake Mermom Self Portrait

 After studying the water of the local lake and some underwater shots of fish from other Ohio lakes, I realized that from a distance, lake water looks bluish-green with white sun reflections.  Swimming in the water it looks brown, from the sand kick up.  If the water is calm and sun is shinning, the water ranges from green to teal and blue-gray, some brown and such.   I also studied channel and flathead catfish, and then started sketching... Lake Mermom by Foxlyn June 4, 2026 She's on her back, looking up at potential prey.  A better smile than the last Mermom.  Even though Merfolk have no shame (why would they?), since I planned on sharing this, I covered the boobs.   Which...mer-boobs.  I go back and forth on, because breasts are used to feed young, so it bothers me when aliens, like reptilian females, have breasts--purely for the sexual satisfaction of humans.  Like Yuajta--Predators--makes no sense why this RETIPLIAN ALIEN has ...

A Word from Forseti

 A couple of weeks ago, I was contacted by another Norse Justice God, Forseti.  He is the son of Baldur and Nanna.  Where Tyr is a Warrior Justice God, Forseti is a Peaceful Justice God. Just before last night's weekly Virtual Fire Proto-Grove ritual, Forseti wanted me to volunteer for the Omen.  When we brainstormed about the focus of the ritual, He said to hang back and see what they come up with.  Since one person was physically moving and another was metamorphically moving, we decided on Opening Doors focus.  One Druid chose Apollo for Inspiration and Prophecy, another chose Mac Lir as the Gatekeeper and the other chose Janus as the being of the occasion.   Liminal threshold deities. Then Forseti came through, saying that opening of doors is fitting for peaceful reconciliation, as opposed to the force of Tyr kicking open a door armed with a sword. Forseti came with messages and blessings.   The first thing that He said over and over ...

My Mermaid Alter Ego - Mersonal?

 Today I finally got the inspiration for my first mermaid piece, inspired by me.  My long time swimming name "Orca" has been retired and replaced by "Mermom".  All of those days spent drawing myself in university resulted in this... A little more Come Hither than intended (although fits, kind of merfolk MO--lure in and devour--as hubby excitedly commented, "Oh shit, I'd be your first victim!"), and I was trying to smile, but I haven't figure out how to zoom in for tiny detail without accidently deleting the rest of the image...like half of this picture (had to redo that tail twice).   I am happy with the nose, although again, if I had more control with zooming in, I could make it look better with shading and highlights. Also I realized that the sun's position and the highlights and shadows don't line up. Especially with the tail partially blocking the sun.  Everything lined up...until I deleted half of the picture. Well, things for next tim...

Solstice Omens

 Mornin! The Kindreds are saying,  Enough messin around, let's do a reading! They've picked Fairy Tale Fortune Cards by Liz Dean and Bev Speight. With the pendulum, I ask, "Message or Blessings?  Yes for Message, No for Blessings.  Circle for both." Message . "The Kindred three?" Yes . "Okay, Kindred, what's your message for the Hearth Fox Community? Ancestors  As I shuffle, I see Art .  I see Community, Therapy .  Keystone .  Be the Keystone of your community . The Horse - Good news is coming, be prepared. Nature Spirits Two.  Outside.  Come outside.  I see trees, looking up at them from the ground.  I see faces forming in the bark, and little spirits dancing among the branches. The Man and The Flowers - The man can represent you or someone in your life.  The Flowers are a gift of happiness to come.  Being gifted to the man. Shining Ones Sunna.
