Oh my Gods, yall, yesterday.  Technically the stress started the night before. My cat is an indoor/outdoor cat.  We've tried many times to make her be an indoor cat, but she always always gets out, so we just gave up on that.  Every night at 830-9pm she comes in for the night.  Well, not Monday night.  1-2 times an hour I'd go outside and hollar for her.  There was a time when I heard a meow coming from the van, but there was also a grey and white stray under there (alll night long this cat was in her spot).  I couldn't tell if the meow was her voice or his--I didn't know what that tom sounded like. Around midnight, I really started getting worried.  It's not like her at all.  Since we brought her inside, she's never spent a night outside. So I asked my pendulum if she was okay, if she was hurt--pendulum said she was dead! However, when it comes to death, my pendulums are notoriously wrong about it for some reason.  Plus I usually...

For the last few weeks, I've been studying and practicing a bit of ecstatic posture--which is holding a posture, often related to a Deity, Spirit, or Energy, and trancing/journeying often to the beat of a rattle and/or drum.  I have experience with this work already, but since the group that I was practicing with online no longer has Facebook Lives (I'm also not on FB anymore), I haven't done it in a while.   Until the end of summer.  I was first looking at postures in the book that I'm reading, as well as practising with my statues and figurines, and looking at Norse depictions and statues of the Gods and Spirits.   Some successes and fails.   This past week, with cooler evening temperatures, I've been going outside.  On Apple Music, I've found some shamanic rattling and drumming that I like for this work.  I just put in my earbuds, take a sitting posture, and press play.   In years past, my most intense journeys have been wit...

  On July 16th , I attended an ADF ritual honoring Cernunnos. Rev. Vic guided us into the liminal space to meet with the wild God. This was my experience. A meditation with Cernunnos, during which, my third eye kept tingling. Which is and isn’t unusual for me. Lately’s it’s been tingling during my seiðr studies, which makes sense. But also whenever I watch Sinners and doesn’t make sense. There’s weird spiritual connections going on there that I haven’t figured out yet. Back to the guided meditation. I became my Winged Reindeer self in my backyard, at the fence line. On the other side is my neighbors yard with a little pond that I often visit when I astral travel. As the Winged Reindeer Cow, I just stood them in the dusky evening, smelling the air. My back twitching from the bugs. I stretched my wings and settled them back. The fence disappeared and I walked to the little pond. The fountain was bubbling. Frogs stopped singing as I got to the water’s edge. I could see ...

  Last night, I performed the omen for Virtual Fire Proto-Grove's ritual. It was a tad disjointed, because my cat thought the rune bag (that Loki picked btw) was cat treats.  Then she realized that I had a cup of water and she wanted my water.  When she wasn't in my face, she was zoomie-ing all around me.  Cat chaos.  A lesson from Loki, other than " What? I didn't give you that cat, Freyja did! " was put the cat outside of the room during the ritual.  😆  Two entities came through last night: the Spirit of the Scythe and Manannán mac Lir (whom I call Mac). The Scythe Spirit picked the Elder Futhark runes and Manannán mac Lir picked the Fairy Tale Fortune cards . As I shuffled the runes, I had a vision (and a cat butt) of a deer buck head that quickly decayed and became the Witch King (buck skull head on top of humanoid body).  Then shifted into a feminine form, and I saw the word "Queen".  A Goddess lifted the buck skull from her head,...
