As part of my devotions to Hela, I read a poem to Her each morning. I have seen more than one source say She enjoys poems as offerings, and it’s also good for my soul to start the day with some verse. I’m posting them here on my blog as a means of inspiring others […]

Today’s Draw: Kari/Ace of Swords; Chalc, reversed; Mimir/The Hanged Man. Chalc, the chalice of emotions, is overturned. The cup is empty.

Today’s Draw: Rym/Ten of Wands; Yr; Skadi/Justice. Today is another day which holds much for you to do. Even if you don’t think it should be yours—if you’re cleaning up someone else’s mess, or having to cover a shift for a coworker—it has landed in your lap, and so it is yours to do. Too much […]

Today’s Draw: Sinmora/Queen of Wands; Dagaz; Mengloth/Page of Cups. Mengloth urges you to look at your self-care today. This has been coming up frequently of late, and from what I hear from those around me, it is an issue we’re all dealing with. If you are not in good health and a positive frame of mind, […]

Today’s Draw: Billing/King of Coins; Ziu; Bestla/Ten of Coins. Billing bids you welcome to Monday, and has a list of all those worldly responsibilities which have been waiting their turn (patiently or otherwise). It seems long, but Billing reminds you that, with yesterday’s quiet time off, you are recharged and ready to meet the day. One […]
