Blessed Midspring yall! It's morning of May 1st and it's raining off and on.  It's supposed to be rainy and stormy for the next few days.  Course the weather apps aren't super accurate.  We had rain this morning, but the storms we're supposed to have all day have vanished from the accu-weather app.  I hate the app, it's so inaccurate.  There's no storms, yet it says to expect storm this afternoon.  Too vague.  And because Google is being weird again, I can't share screen shot from my phone. But enough about annoying inaccurate weather apps, it's Midspring! Yesterday my family celebrated Midspring because today it was supposed to be storming all day.  We went to a park, played catch, explored a pond, walked, and ended at the playground.  Then ended the day with ice cream.   However the night ended with an adorable Bold Jumping Spider in my kitchen.  It was just as fascinated by me as I was by it.  I love spiders, especially...

 About a week ago, I wrote a post that was supposed to be about my relationship with Dionysus and Ariadne, but turned into Myth Gods and Real Gods . When I was a teen I had a handful of deities: Sister Moon, Hestia, Vesta, Artemis, Hephaestus, and Anubis. Over the years, that number would change, especially as I started working more with animal spirits. Then as I went through a phase of dark depression and rejected being an artist—I listened to what asshole students and teachers of Wright State University’s art department, who said that I was mediocre and talentless and had no place in that major. I pushed Hephaestus away, and the others (although Hestia-Vesta and Sister Moon stayed). (My drawing teacher, Penny, brought me back by saying that I had the potential, but I was standing in my way). In 2014, I started working with the Roman Ceres. During one of my full moon rites with Her, Sister Moon, and the Land Spirits, Dionysus showed up. He stayed…and with Him came a flood of...

  My hubby bought me a Hekate statue. Look at Her! Fuckin gorgeous! No boob/s out. No ridiculously huge hair or feathers or whatever's going on with one of those other popular statues. When this one was first released, I fell in love. I haven't cared for the other Hekate statues that I've seen over the years. I don't have an issue with boobs or nudity (I have a Minoan Snake Goddess and Kat Shaw oracle decks for crying out loud--I'm also pansexual--I love boobs!), but I don't see Hekate like that. She's always clothed when She comes to me. Plus She's one of my Spiritual Mothers. I don't want to see Her breasts. I also like how the statue's face isn't youthful, it actually looks like the face of an older woman. Sometimes when Hekate comes to me, She either looks like a Teen/Young Adult or a mature 30-50-year-old woman. Barefoot. Hooded cloak, usually of dark colors, but also of saffron. Torch holding. Sometimes with a partial head covering. I c...

 Content Warning: Eating Disorders, Abuse, Addictions, Body Shaming, Suicide Good Sunday, yall.  Today I've decided to show off my Healing Altar, or my Arete Altar.  Arete is a Hellenic Pillar meaning to be your best self, which is the focus of my healing magiks and shadow work.  Heal the mind, heal the body, heal the spirit.  Heal, become empowered, strong, kind, and confident.  Learn what it means to be better and how to be my best self.

Something that I won a few days ago on my private profile from The Hellenic Handmaid : This set of beautiful, quality Greek Alphabet Oracle !  I really love the design font of each letter, too. On this beautiful Full Moon, I've cleansed them, and Hekate claimed them right away as Hers.  So they are!   I'm about to do my very first draw with this set.  With most divination tools, I like to do a little interview.  Asking how their personality is, is it a gentle tool or a blunt tool, and what it speciality is--what questions or subjects are best to ask.  But this set doesn't want me to ask any of those questions, and I think it's because Hekate has claimed them.   Makes sense.  I already know Her. Let me just if She's any other messages for me on this full moon... I shuffled while asking, "What's your message on this full moon?"  When I felt the bag was ready, I blew into it, then drew.  My finger touched three letters at once....

I've made a pretty big decision and I've drawn cards about it... Using the Guardian of the Night deck by MJ Cullinane , and asking Hekate for guidance, I got a jumper and drew two: Jumper - Five of Swords - Represents Facebook. 10 of Wands - Represents FB's affect on me over these near 18 years. Queen of Wands - Represents me now. I've been thinking about it for a while.  Then more seriously after I heard about Project 2025  and saw how FB is protecting The Heritage Foundation with BS conservative fact checkers.   As of August 2024, I will be on Facebook for 18 years.  That's a lot of years for any platform--back in the day when FB was just for college students.  I've had my share of ups and downs, and I'm grateful to FB for finding old friends, making new ones, and the business successes that I've had.  However, like a toxic, abusive relationship, there have been many many downs--stress, drama, pain, fear, frustrations, and that's not counting my bu...

 Howdy!  Long time no post, although I have been active my Facebook .  Life's been day-by-day here.  My mom died back in October, and although she and I didn't have the best relationship (technically my grief journey with her started in 2020...well a little before that), it's hitting me harder than I thought.  Although I've been grieving a little longer than others, this is the finality, you know?  No apologies, no mending, me--once again--having to find closure on my own.  Listening to certain songs over and over....  Watching A Christmas Story Christmas over and over almost every day.  That movie's message was something that I really needed last month, except there weren't any surprise gifts under the tree on Yule or Christmas day.   With cPTSD and ADHD, I've struggled with insomnia for most of my life, but with this grief, I've been experiencing it more frequently than normal. I've made the decision that I'm in no mental or spiri...

I've been a practicing witch for over 29 years, and in my early days I actually struggled with divination and psychic stuff (I actually hated the word 'psychic' because of all the scammers in the world and history). When I was younger, I just figured that I was one of those witches who didn't have the skills or talents to read cards or do psychic stuff. Which is absolutely okay–we all have our own skills, talents, and purposes! We're not all meant to be cardslingers or mind telepaths, ya know? It's like how some witches are better at healing–some healers are better with reiki healing and others with shadow work. Not being able or not wanting to be a diviners doesn't make you less than another. There are some types of magiks and methods that I am absolutely terrible with casting…then there's other magiks and methods that I'm really good with. The areas that I lack, luckily, I have spiritual and magikal friends who excel and are willing to lend ...

A card pull for myself this morning. Hekate through the Guardian of the Night by MJ Cullinane and Hestia-Vesta through the Everyday Witch Oracle by Deborah Blake: Goddesses, what are your messages for me? Jumper: The Lovers - Last night I started on a healing journey to work on my Mother Wound. I went down into my Underworld and found my Shadow Sister. She was scared and didn't want to come--felt neglected. I asked her what I could to make it better? "Play"   We played together, then she hugged me and our Light Sister hugged, too, and we came back into alignment, ready to tackle the next major hurdle. The Star - Renewal. Guidance. Significant transformations are taking place. You are safe, protected, and blessed. Walk through the door. I see myself confident and strong, walking through the door of a childhood home. Go with the Flow - " Honor your grief " H-V is hitting on the magick part of this card. She wants me to use water magik with my goals and intenti...

  He was a persistent little dude, as drama tends to be!

  The Zen Tarot volunteered this morning. Hekate speaks, "live your life". I've drawn Beyond Illusion and Adventure. Look within and seek your inner child for this new adventure. Don't worry so much about plans and maps, with worries and judgements--be innocent and free and have fun. Embrace joy! I hope this resonates with ya!  It certainly did for me.

Hekate using that Guardian of the Night tarot again! Let's Goooooo!  Ooooo, take a look at this hand, yall! I know The Moon isn't reversed in the photo,  I didn't pick up on the energy until after I took the photo. Past - The Moon - Reversed - Willful blinding to the truth. Present - Ace of Wands - New adventures. Pay attention to the signs and act on them, like a spider with prey caught in its web. Don't give that prey time to escape. Listen to your intuition and strike! Which is awesome because I've been getting a lot of signs these past two days in the form of a large white moth, a large albino pigeon that refused to move out of my path, a friendly bee (on the full moon I performed a Honey Sweet Success Spells with the Melissae), white and light gray feathers found in odd places, and today I found a clear quartz on my path. Lots of good signs and blessings. I'm open to them. Bring on the good fortune and good luck! Future - The Magician - I am finally unde...

Today's reading comes from Hekate through the Guardian of the Night Tarot by MJ Cullinane. Hekate, what is your message for the Hearth Fox Community and Friends? "Reversed." - 6 of Swords - You are going through some kind of transition, but the transformation has hit a snag, as you've become resistant, fearful, or perhaps impatient.  Wanting things to happen fast than they're meant to, and thus missing out on crucial moments.  It takes time for creatures like butterflies and moths to transforms, does it not?  And they have to completely change their forms, from a long slug-like creature with legs and an insatiable hunger to a large winged flying nectar feasting beauty.  Change takes work and time.   "Blink and you'll miss the important lessons, and you'll repeat the same cycles because you were not patient and observant.  Stop resisting.  Learn to go with the flow, learn how to avoid those big rocks in the river.  You deserve more than to kee...

    Tonight at 8 pm, if you've got a FB and a Zoom, you're invited to   EWR's Dark Moon Ritual , led by Nikki Kirby:  https://www.facebook.com/events/950978965439628 Come have ritual and hang out! --------------- On my path, the Dark Moon is the last day of the lunar calendar.  For those who're Hellenic Polytheists or those who work with Hekate may know this day as the  Deipnon .  It is a time of purification of self and home.  A time to get your home ready for the new month, new energies, and new possibilities (if any of you follow my Book of Mirrors personal blog, you'll know that today is the first day of Berkana, the rune of renewal and potential!). On Deipnons, my family likes to gather and take donations to the center, take our recycling to the dumpster, spiritually and physically deep clean our home, cut our hair, take purifying baths or drink detox teas, and we take out the past lunar cycle's offerings outside and refresh the dishes for ne...
