Awww, a friend got Molly Remer's book Return .  <3 I also saw that  September's Animal Ally is the Fox , asking important questions: Where do I feel safe enough to be more of myself? Where might I give myself permission not to perform? Where might I need to shift or change? Where might I need some energetic camouflage? Going to break out the tools for these four questions, and ask them for the general HFO community. Since I don't have a fox deck yet, Fox is going to speak through the Urban Crow Oracle by MJ Cullinane. "In the shadows" "Among true friends"  "Keyboard"  "Art"  I've drawn Sacred Space . "Sleep"  "Alone"  I've drawn Growth .  Growth through harsh community/family lessons...at first.  Once you get the hang of it, then there are more opportunities for you.  I'm seeing a both/and here.  You already give yourself permission alone, but also have the bravery to be yourself in action and in r...

For me, April 1st isn't about mean pranks and stupid jokes, its about acknowledging and honoring our inner Tricksters. Do you acknowledge and honor your Inner Tricksters? Last night I led a ritual with my virtual grove for Tricksters Day and I thought was going to be about protecting the marginalized, but the Tricksters focused on acknowledging how people use their tricks for good and survival, showing that even though many people fear and crap all over Tricksters, they too are Tricksters. Kettles and pots. Tricksters are good at holding up those mirrors, aren't They? it wasn't to shame anyone, but to show and and encourage people to honor their Inner Tricksters. The Ritual --that I had zero inspiration to write for and was still working on it at start time.  The ritual that Zoom wouldn't open for after many tries.  The ritual that my camera randomly turned off during.  The ritual that a spirit interrupted by jiggling my door.  The ritual that my cat Jimmy V decided ...

In the spirit of March 17th, our High Day ritual focused on the energies of growing good luck and honoring Luck Entities. As it was a round robin (and the script has 3 different speaking options for each part), Willow had the idea to use dice, and the three of us grabbed our D&D dice sets.  Willow used the D4 to see which option of the script she'd speak. "Let's roll for inspiration!" One of my D4s I gotta say that I love that the three of us Druids in attendance were all D&D nerds! Before ritual we were talking about different luck deities, and Loki showed up. Said that chaos was very much a part of luck, especially bad luck. Chaos deities like Him can aid us in dealing with bad luck--getting through it--helping to be prepared, helping to turn bad luck into good lessons and into future good luck through practical means, not always through miracles and magik--relying on other outside forces. Relying on yourself instead.  That those experiences and lessons...

 Happy Wednesday yall!  I'm finally over my cold, which means its time for some divination!  Today is the 18th, and in my world, that is a day sacred to the Norse Entity of Chaos, Loki.  Let's see what type of Pick-a-Tool He wants to do. Loki has picked Womanrunes and the Urban Crow Oracle. Take a deep breath and clear your mind. Focus on your question. What would you like advice about, Community? Something specific? Some general guidance? Let's see what message this Trickster may have for you. Loki, what is your message for Hearth Fox Oracle community and friends? Remember to pay attention to any numbers, letters, or positions that may come to you, as it could be your intuition or guide helping you pick.  You can pick more than one. Have your selected your message?  Are you ready for the reveal? The Flame - Fire.  Energy.  Vitality.  What fires you up?  What are you passionate about?  Figure it out and do the thing.   The...
