I love crocheting blankets in the winter, so cozy!  Well when it's actually cold; it was 65f yesterday, and today it's 19f but feels like 1f with the crazy winds.  I've been working on a High Day Healing Blanket series since 2023.  Midwinter (Feb1; kids helped with this one) Spring Equinox (IP) Summer Solstice (a friend helped with this one) Fall Equinox (IP) Winter Solstice (IP; using a log cabin square quilt design).     For Midspring (May1), I'm planning on making a bouquet blanket, and I'm learning how to make shapes, so I can make a beehive patchwork throw for Midsummer (Aug1).  I don't have anything planned yet for Midfall (Nov1)--maybe a big ole jack-o-lantern or something?  I still gotta finish a couple of these other ones first. Hail the Hearth, Home, and Family Kindreds.  🔥 Thank yall for the support! Face to the Sun. Trust in Joy. Follow the Bees... - Priestess Foxlyn

I don't know how many of you Readers are ADF members, much less members of Virtual Fire Proto-Grove, but I'm leading a Winter Solstice ritual on Wednesday at 8pm for Virtual Fire on Zoom. I think you can attend, even if you're not a paid member of ADF, but I'm not in charge of the group so I don't know for sure.  You can message the Facebook Page and ask, if you'd like:  https://www.facebook.com/VirtualFireGrove The ritual will be honoring Winter and Solar Deities, with a focus on Reindeer Mother and Her Journey to return the Sun to the skies. The others will be Julbocken (Inspiration), Elen of the Ways (Gatekeeper), Cailleach, Mothers Holle and Hulda, Sunna, Beavivvi, and Saule. For this ritual, we'll be doing a Joy Spell, so I'm asking yall to bring: Your own purification method (if you can) Something to represent the Sun and/or Reindeer. This could be a stone, crystal, wood cut out, toy, statue, fiber art piece, wheel, ball, circle, sticker, a cook...

On Feb 16 2025, we got a great snow storm, although hubby had to get up and go to work. From my bed, I also got to work... I do want to mention that I have a a bindrune already in our vehicle—a protection spell that I often feed to keep it working. But I think this spell can be used regardless of whether or not you have an existing spell. On the early morning of February 16th, as my husband was getting ready for work, I laid in bed and listened to the icy rain snow mixture hitting our house. Ting ting tinx ting tinx ting! Hm, sounded slick outside. I closed my eyes and went out to our vehicle in the astral. Over the last couple of days, I’d been sleeping a lot. Not sure why, I didn’t feel ill, just exhausted. Could be a combination of starting my period and doing big magiks on the full moon on Wednesday, not sure. Either way I wasn’t sure what my energy were going to look like that day, so I opened a well to the Source and used that energy to feed the bindrune that I already ha...
