I’m a bit of a skeptic in that I don’t often buy into “Mercury in retrograde” shenanigans. That said, this particular one can fuck all the way off. 🤬

Artwork that shows Samwise Gamgee, from The Lord of the Rings, sinking the blade Sting into the stomach of the giant spider Shelob. Frodo is wrapped in webbing on the ground nearby.

Samwise Gamgee reminds us that we are never too small to overcome big problems.

Blessed Samhain to you as well!

Indeed. Perhaps just a medium amount of feist. ☺️

To you as well! 🔥🙏🏻🔥

Blessed Samhain, friends! May your night be magical and filled with the blessings of the Ancestors (and perhaps a feisty spirit or two)! 🎃

Musings on the runes brings me to this thought: “The syntactical nature of reality, the real secret of magic, is that the world is made of words. And if you know the words that the world is made of, you can make of it whatever you wish.” - Terence McKenna

As I undergo some health issues, I express gratitude for the challenge to hone my body and character. It is also a reminder to never take the healthy times for granted.

A photo of the Cookie Monster with white text saying, “Today me will live in the moment, unless it’s unpleasant, in which case me will eat a cookie.”

The ever-wise Cookie Monster, lovely humans.

The consider themselves “Christian” so I have no idea what they’re babbling about. Maybe it’s some silly “alpha male” thing.

Kash Patel saying “I’ll see you in Valhalla” regarding Charlie Kirk is about the most hilarious thing I have ever heard. Sorry, Kash, Valhalla isn’t for people who talk for a living and fascist pencil pushers like yourself. /rant

Tonight I sit with a heavy grief at the passing of a dear friend. No words come to me but these: “Don’t behave as if you are destined to live forever. What’s fated hangs over you. As long you live and while you can, become good now.” - Marcus Aurelius

Same!

Best soundtrack ever!

At last, summer has begun to wane and the first breath of autumn can be felt here in Illinois. While I love the warmer months, fall brings a welcome respite from the frenetic energies of summer. May all your harvests be blessed!

No, it’s pretty much a general statement that affects all groups and orgs to some degree.

The cult of personality that is prevalent in modern Paganism needs to die.

Blessed Lughnasadh, friends! To me, this High Holy Day is the beginning of Summer’s end, when the first shifts of autumn begin. May your harvest be bountiful!

“The Gen Z stare.” I have seen that stare in all human beings, in my experience. It’s the stare of people who are not in the present moment. They are crammed into their own heads or they are crammed into their devices. Easily remedied though. Breathe and return to the now.

Blessed Frigg’s-Day my friends! May the Queen of the Heavens, and her Maidens Nine, bless you with quiet wisdom and the comforts of the hearth!

There are many tools. Studying the Stoic idea of the dichotomy of control has proven to be very helpful. I have also found mindfulness practices to be great as well.

Life is not obligated to be kind and peaceful to you. But let this be a relief, because you are not relying on externals to keep your peace. You can embody these values and life shall transform before your eyes.

May your life be fertile with opportunities to practice. May this practice help you grow into the Good Life.

Now is a good time to take stock of the relationships in your life. Which connections are helping you grow? Which relationships are imbalanced and you’re giving more energy than you are getting? What new connections would you like to make? Which ones need to be cut away?

Here in southwestern Illinois, the wheat harvest occurs right at the summer solstice. I couldn’t think of a more appropriate offering for the ascendant sun. Golden grain for the Golden Goddess! 🌾

Blessed Summer Solstice to you all! May Sunna’s light bring you victory against the darkness! May She light your way to Wisdom and happiness! And to my southern hemisphere friends, may Sunna’s return bring you hope in the long dark of winter! ☀️
