Dearly Departed

Isn’t it strange,How different we see,Dearly Departed?Isn’t it strange,How you forgot me,Dearly Departed?Isn’t it strange,Your love for them,Dearly Departed?Isn’t it strange,That I feel nothing,Dearly Departed?Isn’t it strange,To them you are good,Dearly Departed?Isn’t it strange,Their memories of you,Dearly Departed?They had love and they had laughter,Dearly Departed.They had fun and we had…

Winter Solitude

Longest night Without the sun The wheel spins Winter almost done Although, Most are happy… I am sad To do away with winter… Does not make me glad… I love the long nights And the stillness in the air I enjoy the rest it brings… It’s nothing like the spring Although they see death… I see a pause in the rush A winter solitude, if I must Tonight, the longest night Without the…

December

Oh December The month to remember of everything that has come to pass A reminder that it goes too fast Oh December The month to remember of everything that has come to pass A reminder that nothing outlasts …Time Oh, what a time it has been a lot of reflections and looking within Ending things that didn’t begin A time to choose me over and over again Oh December The month to…

Change the Past

If I could change the past, The past would change me. I close my eyes at night, I wouldn’t change a thing. Not even for a moment… Not even for the chance… I wake up every day, Grateful for the past.

Sad Life to Lead

What a sad life to lead, when you realize… you weren’t born to be loved, but to teach it… never to receive it or feel it, but to embody it… to never know what its like to be touched by another soul, but to be that soul for everybody else… to only be held onto not because you mean anything to them, but because they mean everything to you… to be too much to love but not too much to lose… to…

Stranger than fiction

Tell me my life is a trick then… Because it’s way stranger than fiction. I was born into this affliction… Its all just one big contradiction. Just because of mama’s addiction… I’ll repeat the cycle again then. Sorry, dereliction stops with me friend… It won’t be easy to apprehend them… Because we transcended the end friend. So, tell me my life is a trick then… Because its way stranger…

“For what it’s worth: It’s never too late to be whoever you want to be. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you find that you’re not, i hope you have the strength to start over.”

Making Bindrunes

If you type in Google "bindrunes" several different ones will come up stating what they mean "protection", "good fortune" etc. People will even get those tattooed. Bindrunes are personal and I don't believe you should get a Google one tattooed or even use it in your workings, I also feel this way about sigils and will talk about this in a separate blog. But for now in this blog, I will teach you how to make your own bindrune.

As a beginner witch I can understand wanting to Google everything, hel even people will tell you to do so. To be honest I think that's wrong, misleading, and lazy. Google is not "your friend" and doesn't always have the correct guidance. I read a lot of books, which majority of my knowledge has come from, of course with a little bit of my own personal touch because after all it is my magick.

What is a bindrune?

A bindrune is two or more Runes that are superimposed on each other. The Runes combined together form a single symbol that amplifies their combined magical energies. Personally I do not use more than 3 separate Runes as I feel it's purpose gets lost in translation the more you add, so I suggest no more than 3.

How can you draw them?

The runes can be backwards, sideways, upside-down or any angle. You don't have to keep them in their original position or think you are putting them in a reversed position like in Tarot when you pull a card upside down and has a negative meaning. You can even repeat the same rune more than once depending how you want the bindrune to look.

I am going to show you an example of a Bindrune so you get the gist.

My goal for this bindrune is for wisdom, divine communication, increase intuitive and psychic abilities. I have chosen 2 runes for this one: Laguz and Ansuz [I will dive deeper in another blog about the Futhark Runes and their meanings]

This is the completed look and I will now break them down for you in two additional separate photos highlighting the two runes

Highlighted in red is the rune Ansuz and you can see it's also upside down as thats the look I was going for when creating this one

Highlighted in red is the rune Laguz but here it is depicted backwards, normally it looks like this ᛚ. You can also see I have drawn it upside down like the rune Ansuz

Here is a video of me drawing the bindrune so you can see how I designed it in real time.

With the example I have given you here I could have just made it even more simple and just put both runes and not repeated them. Bindrunes are personal, how you choose to design them is up to you.

This poem was written on Mothers Day last year. I remember a friend of mine, who also is a poet, had asked me to write one and I was stumped because most people have good mothers and it's supposed to be a time of thanks and love... that's actually where my inspiration came from. It's not a happy time for me with my abusive mother. I have cut all contact 2 years ago and I do want to mail this to her sometimes. Check it out on WordPress and tell me what you think!
