Crazy energies out there today, eh? After talking to a student of mine, I've also noticed that there's been an increase in spirit activity, too.  I've noticed that spirit activity usually amps up around May 1st and November 1st.  Energies ebb and flow, sometimes those spirit waves rise and fall at other times, too.  Sometimes random, sometimes not.   All March long, I've been seeing and hearing more and more spirits than normal.  They're not spirits that I know.  I think some of them are Nature Spirits, which can be rather nomadic.  I'm not worried about their intentions, because I have layers of protection on my home and a great relationship with my House Spirits and Guardians.  They wouldn't just let anyone into the house.  The Gods might, They like to test me from time to time. A couple of weeks ago, it was late at night, and I have hermit crabs (which are nocturnal and skittish, and ours weren't handled properly by their last owners,...

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....

 In my family, we celebrate the High Days for three days.  Yesterday we saved a Gray Treefrog from a scorching death, we had Bdubs for dinner, and we caught lightning bugs in the evening.  We have more planned this weekend. A Gray Treefrog I didn't know we had Treefrogs in Ohio This little dude was green with yellow on its legs, and kind of reminded me of the throw that I'm working on. I'm also participating in a Make-a-Long in a fiber artist Facebook Group by Devin Hunter and Arin Murphy-Hiscock called  Fiber Spirit .  The MAL is focusing on Manifest, thus whatever we're making has to manifest something.  It started yesterday and ends on August 1st. I got some yarn from a friend a couple of weeks ago and it had 6 crocheted patches in it.  So I made more, with the intention of having Sunna bless it on the Summer Solstice with the overflowing positive energies of joy, good health, and abundance.  Each piece was made with those intentions.  Yes...

 March 6th is the Full Moon and on my spiritual path, it's also the Epopteia (Eh-pop-te-ah), which is a Greek word meaning " the fiery vision of Persephone returning from the Underworld " or so I've been taught.  Some odd years ago, I was a Hellenic Polytheist for a few years, and this is another one of those half inspired by an existing holy time, half UPG.  I don't know that there is an "official" Epopteia, or like the Flamma Vesta, if it was just a term that I loved and felt that it fit.  Bad memory combined with not being able to find my Hellenic Polytheism binders at the moment.     The Epopteia has a sister holy day in September, Persephone's Descent.  In September, either on the Dark/Full Moon or on the Fall Equinox, Persephone returns to the Underworld.  Either on March's Full Moon or Spring Equinox, She leaves Hades for 6 months, flowers in Her steps, joining Her power with many other Spring Entities.  Why the moon issue?  ...

Whew this week has been rough on many people, myself included. Dealing with depression yuck. I hope it was easier on yall, though. I hope yall had necessary support and healthy coping methods. I am grateful for mine.   Did you know that your can charge, enchant, and have your hygiene products blessed and boosted? Yes, even the regular department store-bought stuff.   This morning, I got up and made a Laguz music list, comprise of soothing rain, stream, and whale songs. Laguz is the Elder Futhark rune of water and flow.  I got a big cup of hot water and added epsom salts to it, then I drew and sang three runes over the water. Laguz (lah-gooz), Kenaz (ken-ahz), Berkana (bear-kahn-nah). Water, Fire, Earth. Cleansing, Purification, Healing.   I also asked for additional blessing over this water from my Gods and Ancestors, asking Them to add anything else They feel that I needed.  No, you don't need to be any kind of clergy or a seasoned practitioner to ask for help ...

After seeing Byron Ballard's warning for the next 48 hours  last night, I grounded myself between earth and universe, Gods and humans--the liminal. I plunged my energy roots deep and wide, so that no storm could knock me down. I connected with my new home and the land and the stars (I can see the stars now!). I went outside and looked up into the bright round moon, perfectly framed by three tree branches. Sister Moon, how long has it been since I've simply gone outside and gazed? Opened myself to your energies? Too long. I charged my shields, my husband's and children's shields, our home, vehicle, and property shields. I turned my attention next to the land and nature spirits. I had already given introductory offerings on Midfall, but tonight was different. It was dark, bitterly cold, and quiet.  I was alone. After standing there for a few minutes, I went back inside to get to my Priestly duties: asking what the Spirit Fam wants for offerings, of course. The Healers wan...

  Blessed Full Moon Yall!  Tonight is a full moon, also known as an esbat in some spiritual/practitioner circles. This day is also a holy day for some people who work with the Greek Goddess Persephone. Some folks believe that on September’s full moon, Persephone returns to the Underworld for Her winter stay with Hades, returning to the surface in March. Others may see Her Descent occurring on the Fall Equinox (September 20-22) or on the Dark Moon (September 25). I invite you to also look into the Eleusinian Mysteries, which was/is a week long festival honoring Demeter and Persephone. I believe there are other festivals honoring Demeter and Persephone around this time, but all of my Hellenic Polytheistic binders are packed away.   Persephone's Descent, September 2021 Most people are familiar with the story of Persephone and Hades—the Flower Maiden named Kore (“maiden”) who was viciously kidnapped by the evil Death God, and tricked with 6 pomegranates to remain in Hades. A ...

I knew this full moon had something to do with another Spring animal, the Snake. Did you know that in the winter they don't hibernate? No, instead they brumate, which is like hibernation, with less activity. The cold weather and less daylight let's the snake know when it's time to enter this period, which can last from September to May, roughly. Snakes do not sleep the ...
