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...

For tonight's Virtual Fire Proto-Grove ADF ritual, we focused on Hearth, Winter, and Health. Tonight I performed the Omen and Hulda-Holle, Cailleach, a touch of Loki, and  Óðinn showed up. Eir was also present, but She didn't speak .  They used the European Goddess and Spirits Oracle by Johanna Polle and the Elder Futhark runes. As we got into the ritual, I shuffled.  Jumper card from Frau Hulda-Mother Holle:  Arianrod - balance, mind your own needs and wants, balance doesn't need to be meticulous, but what feels good. Cailleach with Her deer in the forefront, Elen of the Ways in the background, Lantern in hand. The rune Hagalaz was the hand built shelter of sticks, twine, and fur.  A roaring Kenaz campfire.  Little Isaz pounding down.  But you are safe and warm and happy.  Rested. Loki: "HI, lol" (Hagalaz +Isa) Cailleach:  "Remember who and what you are.  Show me the Völva within–Witch, Energy Worker, Practitioner, Mystic, whatever ...

  Nov 11, 2025 -   Message from Freyja: " Honor your Angrboða--your anger, your grief, your "negative" human emotions--too.  They don't make you less grateful. " I just went through a really rough patch--October through November 12th.  Yes, even us clergy folk experience cycles of good and bad, ebb and flow.  No curses, no divine punishments, no whatever.  Sometimes shit just happens to good people. I was feelin okay, taking everything in stride.  Accepting everything, because what else was I going to do?  Anger and sorrow weren't going to solve anything.  Just accept the shit and figure out the next steps.  Around the 14th, I got hit with depression that just hung around, but the intensity didn't really change until the end of the month, of course.  That low point lasted until Tuesday, because it was just one thing after another.  A little bit a hope that was just crushed by more BS.  A little miracle suddenly squashed b...
