I got the kids costumes ready for Halloween: 1 Fallout Vault Dweller 1 Fallout Wastelander 1 Godzilla Which just leaves me.  I usually go as a Kitsune/Foxkin, Raven/Crowkin, or Goatkin.  Last year, passing out candy, I was a Foxkin.  This year I'm really feeling Deer energy, so I may go as a Deer Woman.  I have two deer masks, but one I specifically use in my Reindeer Mother Winter Solstice Rituals.   Yule 2022 The other is a gold buck mask that I've been wanting to repaint.  It hasn't yet been consecrated as an Oracle Mask, unlike the mask above. It's not dedicated to any of my Deer Entities yet.  Course when I try to picture myself as Deer Woman, the old Crow Hag takes over.  I guess it's an either/or for Deer or Crow this year.   There's always Ren Fair, if I can afford to go this year.  In 2023, I went as Crow/Raven Hag and it was awesome.  People actually wanted photos with/of me.  That was a lot of fun.

Blessed Full Moon!  I've been wanting to do some spellwork lately but haven't had the energy for it.  Full moons either drain me or energize me, and so far, I've been pretty neutral.  I had a busy weekend with both sides of the family--one gathering triggered a panic attack in the early morning and the other, I was glutened by coleslaw from Kroger.  Coleslaw is supposed to be safe--I've been gluten-free since 2019?  And I know to check the ingredients of foods that are supposed to be safe.  I especially hate eating at restaurants because they always be adding wheat fillers to foods that aren't supposed to have wheat.  Like IHOP adds wheat to their omlets, or they use to--we haven't eaten there in a couple of years.  I know to check...   Saturday evening was rough--my gluten/celiac reactions can last anywhere from a few hours to a few days.  I'm glad that I didn't eat too much.  Normally I'm pretty careful--checking all of the l...

I practice Ancestral Veneration all year long. For me, a handful are usually around year round. Around this time and around May, the spirit activity amps up as more spirits come to visit and also seem to have more strength in how they let us know they're around.  This year, I did something a little different to honor my mom...which is weird to say because she and I had a really rocky relationship and she doesn't even have a place on the Ancestral Shrine. At the same time, my mom wasn't a gamer, but was a great designer who was proud of her house. I think she might appreciate this more, me recreating her house in Sims 4.  Instagram Making this house was really important for my grief work, too. Regardless of my relationship with her. Obviously it being Sims 4, nothing is exact, especially those room measurements, nor do I have certain kits and packs. I doubt that I'll move Sims into this house, but it is saved in my Library. I can "visit" and update whenever. Fi...

  I love Halloween, it's the best time to find props and masks for rituals and magik.  Take em home, cleanse, bless, enchant, and dedicate. I am a fan of antlers and horns, and I've always wanted a ritual headdress with them (every since I saw a togruta [Star Wars], I've always wanted their montrals and headtails as spiritual garb).  Spirit Halloween had a great horn selection, but also a bit pricey or they just looked better with hair or wigs.  I don't have any nice fun wigs yet.  I was hoping to find a better deer antler mask or headband--better yet reindeer antlers (there were a couple, but they didn't look very nice).  For the last few years, since learning about the Reindeer Mother, every Yule I do a ritual honoring Her and Elen of the Ways.  I've been wanting to wear reindeer cow antlers for my fall and winter rituals.   I've found beautiful reindeer cow antlered headdresses on Etsy, Amazon, and other places, made by hand by other spiri...
