SUMMER IS HERE! Or is it?

June is trying its hardest to bust out all over, but nature is being fickle with the weather.
Flowers have been planted peony bushes have blossomed, giving us the beauty of their big, bright blossoms, and black ants...lol, hydrangeas and daisies are making their appearances too.

This is the time of Berkana...nurturing that which has been planted. We water, fertilize, remove weeds and harmful pests, all the time waiting, watching as those seesds and sprouts we planted start to blossom and grow. 

That being said, how are the seeds of your ideas, your dreams and your hopes growing? After all, they need caring too, otherwise they won't grow and manifest. 

They are the that which lay the groundwork for achieving your long term goals. Without them, we have no solid foundation to build upon. So pull out your metaphorical watering cans and fertilizers! Do everything you can nurture them so you can make things happen!

Thanks for sharing your time with me and taking a look around. If you like what you've seen, please share and tell your friends. 

 Hail, and thanks for being here!

Time to renew and start again

Any of you that have been checking in on this blog from time to time have no doubt wondered where the heck I disappeared to I'm sure. After all, it's been what, like eight months, right? You probably thought I'd completely given up. In all honesty, I didn't, there were plenty of times I'd tell myself I needed to get on here and write something. To lay it out, I went through a few "dark" periods where my motivation lagged. But so many wonderful things have happened, renewing me, that I need to share them with you! One of the most important happenings has been becoming part an amazing LOCAL Heathen community and being given the honor of sharing the wisdom of the runes at gatherings, as well as actually lead one of our rituals. Most recently, becoming one of just a few in our group to undertake the honor of seidr, spā, and, in my case as a female, the craft of the völva. This is no small task, and I have much, much work to do, and believe me when I say I

Blossoming Labors

Last month I spoke about a fresh start, a renewal, and the need to plant seeds of our hopes, dreams, ideas and goals.  How has that worked out for you so far? If you've been nurturing them with the attention they've needed, you should be seeing their blossoming well underway.  This is a fertile time in our hemisphere....summer time, and the start of the heat that goes with these longer days that can quickly sap, even wither our energy and will. It's easy to get distracted with "fun in the sun", the end of the school year,  graduations, not to mention weddings and vacations too. So what about your plantings those precious concepts, ideas and possibilities? Can you afford to let them sit unattended? Of course not! Your advantage is, right now...they are not like physical plants, these burgeoning blossoms can be nurtured wherever you go, whatever else you're doing. The fertilizer and water you need for them are your time, attention, and determination to succeed i

Late Summer, First Harvest

Summer is in full swing now, and the weather shows it. Hot, occasionally sticky, maybe a microburst dropping down some much needed rain to cool things off. I'm going to talk about two runes for this writing, because they are inexorably intertwined for harvest. First, the rune Sowilo represents the sun wheel, and the sun at its strongest, which is summer. Although now with Litha behind us and the sun making its journey back South, which means the daylight is gradually decreasing, we still enjoy sunset well past 8pm. Sowilo is vitality, for when we feel healthy, we feel we can overcome anything, be successful at everything. It is the sun's light that kisses the crops and helps them grow full and abundant during the Spring and Summer, and has now brought them to fruition and ripeness, so it is now time to reap them. Now we turn to Jera, the harvest rune. The time of first harvest celebrates the blessings of the sun's life giving light to the crops we need to sustain u
