Oh my Gods, yall, yesterday.  Technically the stress started the night before. My cat is an indoor/outdoor cat.  We've tried many times to make her be an indoor cat, but she always always gets out, so we just gave up on that.  Every night at 830-9pm she comes in for the night.  Well, not Monday night.  1-2 times an hour I'd go outside and hollar for her.  There was a time when I heard a meow coming from the van, but there was also a grey and white stray under there (alll night long this cat was in her spot).  I couldn't tell if the meow was her voice or his--I didn't know what that tom sounded like. Around midnight, I really started getting worried.  It's not like her at all.  Since we brought her inside, she's never spent a night outside. So I asked my pendulum if she was okay, if she was hurt--pendulum said she was dead! However, when it comes to death, my pendulums are notoriously wrong about it for some reason.  Plus I usually...

 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...

I was just reading The Ripening by Serena of Runes and Roses , and had a realization. In their post, Serena said that Freyja loves beauty and jewelry. Like most things in life, Beauty is highly subjective. Normally when one thinks of beauty, depending on their culture/society/family/individuality they may think of symmetrical faces, cosmetics, expensive clothing, thin bodies, feminine clothing, etc. But beauty is subjective. I think of those things, too, but also other things, like minute details that others may not notice, certain colors, a sprouting plant, a decaying animal, a loving birth, the dying cared for by loved ones, "tribal" style, bohemian style, gritty witchcraft, goth, aesthetic witchcraft, lace, and many other things. Youngest's Little Plant, May 1, 2026 Actions, too. Beauty isn't just the physical. Kindness, compassion, and bravery are beautiful to me. The pure joy on people's faces. My children's laughter, as cliche as that is. Com...

 While working on a post for Freyja yesterday, I ended up channeling Her: " Too much posturing. Not enough practicing. Witchcraft is not a competition. It's not about likes and followers. It's about doing the fucking work and making changes. Why do you think so many witches of the past were alone--can't focus if you're squabbling like hens over the last scrap of food. Build your communities, but don't forget what a witch is supposed to do. Otherwise what's the point? " Too many hypocrites policing each other, all in the name of "respect". More like Control. All I see is ego and excuses. Most of these so-call witches couldn't rid themselves of a basic troublesome entity. Too focused on themselves and how they appear to others. You are one of my S eiðkonas and Völvas, others opinions on that matter be damned . " The other day, I was behind a motorcyclist all decked out in protection. They were aware of their surroundings...

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...

  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...

I got a new statue for my birthday, which I’ll be talking more about in an April 14th post. It’s an interesting statue—of Pythia. However the spirit that resides in the statue isn’t a Hellenic High Priestess and Oracle, oh no, it’s Norse Seiðkona spirit. I felt her as soon as I pulled the statue out of the box, and confirmed it later. With Vesta’s permission, I switched statues on my desk. Normally Vesta sits on my desk, decked out in pride bracelets, fidget rings, my first crochet chain, a Kuan Yin pendant, a Mother Mary keychain, a locket with my kids’ picture, and little gifts from my kids. Now Vesta’s sitting on the bookshelf next to my side of the bed. And the other is on my desk, staring with her eerie realistic eyes. I’ve felt those eyes looking and watching. Last night, I decided to interview the Seiðkona within. She wanted to use Mimir’s Well: A Norse Heathen Oracle Deck & Study System by Tammy L. Rois. A favorite tool of many of my Kindred, actually—not just the...

  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 ...

Firework-wise, it's been rough for me at night...except last night oddly enough. Last night was disturbingly peaceful, but I'm not complaining. Last night I took advantage of the break to scry with Odin. I ended up meeting with Freyja and Baldur instead and had great talks with Them, and how honesty and lessons don't always have to be brutal and harsh, as many of us have been taught. True, brutal and harsh do have their places, but often can be more harmful than healing. I've just drawn cards and runes because it's been a bit since I've done a Daily or Weekly Draw for Hearth Fox Oracle. Here we go! Baldur through The Illumination Tarot and Freyja through the Elder Futhark runes. As I shuffled, I specifically saw the word "eat" or "eating", meaning that this has to do with health. 10 of Spades, 9 of Spades, Ace of Spades, Kenaz, and Uruz. Your health is on your mind, keeping you awake, anxious, and possibly causing stress eating, affecting you...
