Today’s poem is a lovely piece from Vidya (also known as Vijjaka), the seventh century female Sanskrit poet. I praise that silent listener her whole body bristling— only a poet linking words with ineluctable cadence can touch her insides with fire.
Today’s Draw: Suttung/Six of Coins; Perthro; Fjolvar/Seven of Coins. Both cards are coins, and the rune is the dice cup. Today you may feel tempted to take a financial risk. Understand what you are up against, and find out all the consequences, before jumping in. Perthro encourages you to shake the dice cup and see what […]
Today’s poem is actually one of my favorite songs to listen to when life seems bleak and hopeless. You don’t have to like country music to appreciate this sweet, simple tune about the comforts to be found in daily life, and it ties nicely to today’s draw. Wishing you a comfortable and blessed Equinox. It’ll […]
Today’s Draw:Hreidmar & Ottar/Five of Coins; Eihwaz; Laufey/The Empress. Today, on the Equinox, Eihwaz appears to remind you of the need for balance in your life. Eihwaz can be seen as a symbol of Yggdrasil, a means of moving energy between the worlds. From above to below, from below to above, Eihwaz asks you what […]
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. Despite the fact that we’re constantly being told how the economy is booming, not everyone is benefitting equally from the current phase. This bindrune can help you […]
Today’s poem for Hela is one of my favorites poems, from one of my favorite poets. When You Are Old When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their […]
Today’s Draw: Himinglava/Ten of Cups; Thurisaz; Rym/Ten of Wands; Angrboda/The High Priestess. Himinglava as the Active Influence lightens the mood somewhat, but does not lessen the intensity of this draw. She tells you to enjoy what is good, and celebrate what is going well, and also reminds you that nothing is forever, so enjoy it while […]
I’m traveling for work this week (hello, Helsinki!), so the daily draws will occur randomly. I do have a bindrune queued for tomorrow, for prosperity and material increase. I’ll be on vacation next week, but since I’ll be in Iceland (I cannot tell you how incredibly excited I am about that!), I plan to spend […]
I’ve been feeling under the weather the past few days (and my, have we had a lot of weather to feel under!), so no draws to post. However, today’s poem is one of my favorites, so I am making sure it’s posted. To A Young Girl Mt dear, my dear, I know More than another […]
The Night Dances A smile fell in the grass. Irretrievable! And how will your night dances Lose themselves. In mathematics? Such pure leaps and spirals— Surely they travel The world forever, I shall not entirely Sit emptied of beauties, the gift Of your small breath, the drenched grass Smell of your sleeps, lilies, lilies. Their […]
