A Answer

  Last night, I journeyed for advice. I found myself in a dark cave, sitting across from Elen at a dark fire pit, Alum sitting on my crossed legs.  Goddesses around us.  This was the dark place that we worked the strength magik together recently.  But everything was frozen in time.  The goddesses, the light, everything, except for me.  They told me to wait, but this wasn't waiting--this was stuck.  No movement.  No passing time.  Stagnant.  I stood up, Alum asked me what was wrong.  I told him that this wasn't Wait.  This was stuck. The rune Isa. I was stuck, in between decisions.  This was true.  Although it's not like I had to make an immediate decision.  Nothing was on the line.  Just me trying to figure out what direction I should take. A snake woman--who may or may not have been Medusa--slithered around the edge of camp.  Stabbed a bronze heart tipped arrow into my chest from behind. I woke up on ...

A Rethink

Back in early 2022, some of my closest deities initiated me into priesthood to serve them and other entities. After that, I paid $25 or so for ordination from Universal Life Church and got my marriage license from my state. Since early 2022, I've been seeking training programs to earn my clergy ordination. I serve my entities, but I also want to ethically serve my human communities, too. I often go back and forth about removing "Priestess" from my business stuff, because sometimes I feel like a fraud. The Imposter Syndrome is strong, yall. Since being sure that this is what I want to do, I've been doing a lot of independent studies, taking workshops and courses, and learning from other Pagan Clergy, too. Searching for legit schools aimed at Paganism isn't easy.  In a lot of places Paganism still isn't accepted as a real umbrella of religions and spiritual paths.  Chances of finding seminaries that ordain Pagans...I wasn't successful.  And I looked at...

Drama Sells, It Always Has

Youtuber CinnamonToastKen on how bad drama-y clickbait content is getting lately . Drama sells. It's nothing new. Be yourself, don't be a slave to the algorithms--which definitely drives this crap. Like many, I've been struggling against it for years, as a blogger and a business owner. People love drama more than happiness. Post about your happiness and get very little readers/watchers. Post about "some sh!T" and people flock to the drama--even if they don't know you. For my mental and physical health I choose to not drop to those low levels for some popularity and MAYBE new readers and customers (popularity doesn't equal more business).  Do I wish I had more business and readers? Absolutely, but I'm not going to sell myself out to appease those drama addicts and the algorithms. Too much of that crap in the world. I used to be a drama addict and was a very unhappy, stressed, and a temperamental person--then I took a page out of the Greek Goddess Hesti...

Allow Me to Introduce Myself to the New Folks

 First off, thank you for the Likes, Follows, Shares, Recommendations, Purchases, Donations, and Support!  I really do appreciate it. Almost a year to the day that I created the About Me on my Facebook page.  For those who don't know me: I do not follow/like to get follow/likes. If I Like/Follow, it's because I genuinely like what you're doing. If you don't like what you see, please don't feel like you have to follow/like me. But I appreciate every one! She/Her. Wife and mom. Pansexual. Neurodivergent (ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia, cPTSD, Depression, Anxiety, and I may be autistic). My Spiritual Name is Foxlyn Wren (formerly Hearth Foxlynx). I have been an Eclectic Witch and Pagan for 30 years, as of 2024. Since 2023, I've been learning seidr and druidry. I've performed group rituals--private and public--for 6 years. I've been practising divination and psychic work for others for nearly 10 years. I've been teaching spiritual classes, divin...

Happy February!

  Happy Midwinter, yall! This evening, with my family, we'll be honoring our family's Hearth and Home Entities, as well as some Winter ones, too. Hestia - Greek Goddess of Hearth and Home. First and the Last. Fire Keeper. Key Bearer. I have been a Daughter since I was at least 8-years-old, and a Hearth Keeper since 2015. Vesta - Roman Goddess of Hearth, Home, and City. The Living Flame. She's been in my life since I was a child, too. Sometimes you may see me hyphenate Their names, because sometimes They appear as one Goddess and sometimes two. I am one of Her Daughters and a Vestal. Hekate - Titaness, Goddess, Key Bearer, Torch Bearer of Land, Sea, and Sky; of Witchcraft and Spirits; and yes, even a Hearth Deity. Kind of like the Celtic Brigid, Hekate governs over many areas. I am one Her Children, as well as a Torch Bearer and Priestess. Frigg - Norse Goddess. Key Bearer. Wife of Odin, mother of Baldur. Practitioner of magik and prophecy; sees much, shares none. Loki - Nor...
