Birch wood spirit. Branch was a bit dry and tough, and I've been out of action so my hands are feeling weaker than they were when I was doing one of these a day, but it came out really nice.

Once more, a fine example of that wholesome, inclusive, compassionate, kind love that #Christians are well known for.

And another reminder why I am a happy #heathen.
Somebody has ideas on what can I put on an altar for Frigg?
I wanna make an altar to the goddess.
My simple Imbolc candle decorated and consecrated on my sacred space in preparation for lighting tomorrow. The rune is Berkanan, the Birch, which signifies new beginnings. The cord represents the threads of wyrd with which the turning wheel of the seasons is inextricably bound.

Blessings on Mani‘s Day.
Lamp of Midnight
Whisper to me
In the enfolding darkness
Of lore long forgotten;
Call to the ancient memories,
That beneath your silver light
I shall remember
All I never learned,
Yet which was ever
The song to which my heart beats.

https://itinerantlibrarian.wordpress.com/2024/12/11/manage-your-holiday-stress-in-2024-a-spread/
A #Tarot spread to help you and me keep on top of the emotions and stress of the #holidays season.
New on my #blog: "Manage your holiday stress in 2024: a spread."
https://itinerantlibrarian.wordpress.com/2024/12/11/manage-your-holiday-stress-in-2024-a-spread/
A spread with some advice and ideas for dealing with stress and emotions in this #holidays season.
Let's do an updated #introduction post for my new followers.
Pure panda-monium. Coffee, chaos, and a whole lot of creativity. I'm the host of #PennedPossibilities and #MiniMasterpieces, 31, indie author, podcaster, and #TTRPG game master. A weaver of weird and wonderful tales. Indie published in #DoctorWho zines and more. INFP, word nerd, and daydreamer. I'm also a devout #Heathen and a member of the #Pagan community. Writer of roleplay stories with friends. I adore Turner Classic Movies. #PeterCushing and #PeterCapaldi fan, Beethoven aficionado, wrestling lover, and gamer. Non-binary, and I prefer she/they pronouns. In the LGBT+ community. (My political account can be found over at @tuckeresque, if you're curious.) I'm #ActuallyAutistic, and surviving AuDHD, OCD, and Multiple Sclerosis. Absolutely against AI (and its theft in regards to artistry) in every way. Also attaching my Nintendo Switch Friend Code as well. (See photo.)
Check out my show, #PandasDen, a paranormal podcast about mediumship, where we share stories and have spirit box sessions with occasional (okay, more than occasional) funny moments. My girlfriend AKA @aperfectsong often joins me.

#Tarot underneath/shadow card of evening: Knight of Chalices.
Pause as needed to care for yourself. Meditate, breathe, work for calm. Be kind to yourself, and share this kindness and peace with those close to you.
#Tarot card of evening: Five of Wands.
This was a jumper card. The enemies will come from all sides. Standing aside or out of the way will not be an option. Embrace and wield fiery energy in your magic; you'll need it.
Where I am at with #SocialMedia. Could answer someone's honest question about #libraries (or some other area w/in my knowledge and expertise), but risking some explainer fuckbagel trying to tell me how to do my job or thinking they know more is just not worth the hassle.
In #Tarot for me this is a Four of Pentacles moment: keep your own counsel.
#Tarot underneath/shadow card of evening: The Hierophant-V.
Time to break with tradition. You need to abandon the "we've always done it this way" attitude and do something new and different. Time to defy conventions.
#Tarot underneath/shadow card of evening: Two of Wands.
Consider your options carefully before making a decision. Make sure you have what you need in terms of resources and information. Once you choose, commit.
I'm working on some video and a new blog post for Māras- the August #CrossQuarterDay meanwhile (above in this thread) here's last year's post.

Your path is your own. It may be as elaborate or as simple as you wish. From detailed ritual to simply sitting in the deep woodland breathing in the ancient wisdom; from complex devotion to cradling the energy of the old lore in a rock as you turn it over in your hand.
