This past week didn’t go quite as planned, so the painting step, scheduled for Wednesday night, was pushed off to tonight. However, spending Samhain Night painting runes was wonderfully magical! I used Reeves Acrylic paints. Prang recommends an acrylic watercolor for painting Das clay. I like the Reeves colors because they are easy to work with, […]
Today’s Draw: Utgard-Loki/Emperor; Nauthiz; Svipdag/Knight of Cups. What do you need? Time off, to relax and play and create. What do you need? To fulfill your promises to others, and to manage your responsibilities in a calm, adult manner. You can have both–but the commitments to others come first. Tie up loose ends, make decisions, […]
Today’s Draw: Nott/The Star; Ac, reversed; Hrimthurs/Three of Coins. You may be feeling wrung out, tired, or just plain bored with it all, here at the end of the week. Your strength is not what it could be today, and probably not what you need it to be. Your tools for making it through the […]
Today’s draw: Mjol/Eight of Wands; Isa; Hyndla/The Hermit. Things around you are moving quickly, perhaps too quickly for you to process thoroughly. Isa is here to help shield you from the chaos. Being ice itself, however, Isa has its own slippery energy, so be sure you are directing that outwards to deflect unhelpful influences, rather […]
Today’s Draw: Thjassi/Three of Swords; Algiz; Gerda/Page of Coins. Thjassi and Gerda have each turned up three times already this month. You still have a lot of emotional energy to sort out about all that is passing out of your life, and Thjassi is here to make sure you deal with it. Algiz, the elk […]
If you are new to working with bindrunes, I suggest you read the introductory bindrune post here, then return to this post to read about this specific bindrune. Life can present us with occasions for which we feel inadequate, or perhaps we just need a boost to help us present our best aspect. To go […]
Today’s draw: Jormundgand/The World; Gerda/Page of Coins; Yr; Fenja & Menja/Two of Coins. Jormundgand was the top card in the deck today, and when I drew the card, Gerda came along. As Gerda is the Lady of the Walled Garden, and Jormundgand is all about boundaries, the secondary card nicely reinforces the message of the […]
The nice folks at Watkins Publishing sent a review copy of the Sacred Sites Oracle Cards by Barbara Meiklejohn-Free, with illustrations by Yuri Leitch. The cards and book are packaged in a nicely designed slipcase with a pull ribbon, which makes it easy to slide the set from the outer box. The deck contains 53 […]
The first part of this creative adventure, in which I play with clay and manage not to destroy my kitchen, can be read here. I’ve managed to leave the runes alone for 24 hours to dry. I turned them over after 16 hours, as the fronts were dry to the touch, but the backs were […]
Today’s Draw: Fafnir/Four of Coins; Teiwaz, reversed; Hyndla/The Hermit. Your guards are down, leaving you open to negative influences–including acting from your own negative energies. You are tired of thinking about this particular problem, and you’ve been thinking about it so long, you almost don’t remember what the original situation was. You’ve been sitting on […]
