Mornin! The Kindreds are saying,  Enough messin around, let's do a reading! They've picked Fairy Tale Fortune Cards by Liz Dean and Bev Speight. With the pendulum, I ask, "Message or Blessings?  Yes for Message, No for Blessings.  Circle for both." Message . "The Kindred three?" Yes . "Okay, Kindred, what's your message for the Hearth Fox Community? Ancestors  As I shuffle, I see Art .  I see Community, Therapy .  Keystone .  Be the Keystone of your community . The Horse - Good news is coming, be prepared. Nature Spirits Two.  Outside.  Come outside.  I see trees, looking up at them from the ground.  I see faces forming in the bark, and little spirits dancing among the branches. The Man and The Flowers - The man can represent you or someone in your life.  The Flowers are a gift of happiness to come.  Being gifted to the man. Shining Ones Sunna.

 If yall observe.  If not, I hope you have a good weekend. It's been busy here.  A week ago I went swimming with the family and all week long I've been feeling that mermaid energy.  Must be them flippers or just me loving to swim.  I've never really been into merfolk--in high school I used to make a bunch of mini mermaids and fae out of sculpey, but that's about it.  I also have a mer-form in the astral, but I rarely use it.  I usually just shift into whatever fish or whale, ya know?  I've been indulging that energy by looking at artwork, swimming tails, playing with my merfolk families in Sims 4 , watching real merfolk actors, and shapeshifting trance work.   I've also been playing around with Procreate and making little artworks for interesting animals I come across, like the two foxes that came across my path, a lightning bug that explored my entire hand, and a chubby wobbly raccoon who ran towards the woods yesterday evening.  I...

Happy Belated Mothers Day to those who observe.  My weekend was pretty nice.  On Saturday, we had finally had a nice, dry--but windy--weekend day.  So I tried out an pop up tent that I got for visiting the lake beach.  It's big!  It'll totally fits our cooler, stuff, and the 4-5 of us.  It's short, so I can't stand in it, but that's fine.  I got it to keep our stuff somewhat secured and to give us a break from the sun to rest, eat, and hydrate.  Our cooler will be heavy enough to keep it from blowing away--I have long tent pegs, I just don't know if they'll work in sand.  I'll try those out, too.  My midkid also has big rocks that we can try, too.  Now to have more warm days so the lake gets to comfortable swimming temps. I also thought I had trouble getting up from the ground, turns out that I can get up from the earth just fine.  It's hard man-made surfaces that I struggle with.  Hurts my knees.  No give.  Wher...

March 20 :  Spring Equinox - March 20, 2026 The Sun is strong enough to carry itself higher into the sky! Reindeer Mother has calved and shed Her antlers!  She's reunited with Her herd! Now it is time for Rabbit and Serpent to take Their places as Gatekeeper in my ADF Druidry! Also it's the Epopteia, Persephone has returned from the Underworld, walking with Life in every step! Happy First Day of Spring here in the northern hemisphere and Fall in the southern.  I don't know if I have any southern hemi readers, but all the same. I don't have a big ritual planned for today or tomorrow.  On Tuesday or Wednesday, my online grove did a Good Luck ritual round robin, where we used dice, and Loki, Crows, and Raven gave advice about turning bad luck into good luck via practical means. My kids haven't said anything about this High Day...plus today, Midkid's coming back from a 2 day school camping trip.  Normally, I'd be reading equinox stories to them leading up, but I...

  Back: Oracle cards, various offerings, and the Tree. Middle: LED Lantern Reping Elen of the Ways, Green Monster Reping Nature Spirits, Mother Holle, Reindeer Figurine, Frigg, Hestia-Vesta, Reindeer Mother with the Sun in Her Antlers (the sun repping the Solar Goddesses), a Fox Figurine, White Flame, a Tomte, and Yule Goat. Front: Kuksa Offering Cup, the Well, the Flame, Elen of the Ways Prayer Beads, White-Tailed Deer Antler Wand Repping the Deer Goddesses, and a Jingle Wand. All sitting on a gold shimmery altar cloth. Dec 17, 2025 Yesterday I finished my script and rehearsed it multiple times, as I do every public and family ritual.  It flowed pretty well.  It was a longer ritual because of the Working and the unpredictability of the Omen, but when I rehearsed it was roughly 45 minutes to an hour long. I was feeling pretty darn excited about this.  This is the family favorite and one of my more important yearly rituals since 2017-18, when Reindeer Mother entered m...
