Who doesn’t love a good crafts project? I’m no longer much for things requiring pipe cleaners and a half-pint milk carton, but I do enjoy playing while ostensibly making a thing of beauty and/or utility. I have two sets of Elder Futhark runes (a gorgeous amethyst set from Wren, the talented maker at Wren’s Runes – […]
Today’s Draw: Hela/Death; Raido; Grid/Knight of Coins. We most recently saw Hela as the Hidden Influence for the October 13 draw. Here, She moves into the position of active energy. Change is no longer on the horizon; it is happening. In case the message from Hela isn’t clear enough, Raido tells us to get moving. […]
Today’s Draw: Logi/Ace of Wands; Dagaz; Daeg/Knight of Wands. With so much fire energy, the reading is clear: now is the time to act. Do it, whatever it is. Energy, inspiration, and opportunity are in conjunction for a short time. Make the most of the moment. Gather your wits, and take the leap. Know that […]
Today’s Draw: Rym/Ten of Wands; Jera; Angrboda/The High Priestess. It’s Friday, and yet, there is still so much to be done. Take a deep breath. Jera reminds us that everything has its timing, and whatever time pressure we feel is artificially created–things will happen on the Universe’s schedule–which does not always sync up with our […]
Today’s Draw: Fenris/The Devil; Algiz, reversed; Rind/Page of Swords. You’re tired, your energy is low, and people are coming at you. This is not how you want your day to go. Algiz is taking the day off, but Rind is here with her sword to provide back up for you. While your initial impulse may […]
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. As the Wheel of the Year turns, many of us are looking at significant changes in our lives, sometimes multiple changes happening all at once. This bindrune […]
Today’s draw: Loki & Thor/Seven of Swords; Thurisaz; Kari/Ace of Swords. Clarity of thought is your best tool today, both for defense and offense. Trickery is in the air–your own, or another person’s, or both. Whatever game you have set up, or whatever game you have been drawn into, is not a trifling matter. […]
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. Everyone I know is going through some kind of major change right now–work, home, relationships, family–something. With so much intense emotional energy running through the air, this […]
Today’s draw: Ymir/The Fool; Kenaz; Hela/Death. The presence of two Major Arcana cards says that it’s Transition Time. These two cards in particular–Ymir, The Fool, carries the energy of beginnings, and Hela, Death, carries the energy of endings–leave no wiggle room in this reading. Kenaz is upright today, so unlike last week, we have light […]
Destiny Books has my number. They have released several titles relating to Northern Traditions this year, and kindly sent me a copy of Pagan Magic of the Northern Tradition: Customs, Rites, and Ceremonies, the latest from Nigel Pennick. If you are not familiar with Pennick’s work, this is a very good place to start. Pennick […]
