Creating a Mary Magdalene Altar

Mary Magdalene has always held a special place in my heart. She represents a renewal of the Divine Feminine within Christianity that many can fully embrace within and also without the framework of that religion. She is a Goddess that represents the yin and yang, sacred sexuality, strength, compassion, love, tantra and has much to offer for those of us outside of traditional and patriarchal frameworks. (Please message me for details and info on THE REAL lady magda story ~ the bible tells lies and her story and truth should live on freely in the hearts of all wombyn and witches) Mary Magdalene’s feast day is July 22. 

I have listed some of Mary Magdalene’s correspondences below to inspire your altar, but certainly, listen to your intuition and create a shrine to how she manifests for you!

To create a Mary Magdalene altar for meditation, connection, and offerings…

I really like this but bit of additional information! I understand the darker aspects of her which is completely fine but Hekate isn’t just dark.

- Ferrets and Weasels

- Horses

- Lions

- Dragons

- Childbirth and Midwifery

- Torches (lanterns, flashlights, candles)

- Fish

- Bulls

- Evoking her for home protection

- Sitting and meditating in nature whether in night or day, Hekate doesn’t mind

- She likes Rue, Mugwort, Lavender, and Rosemary of course Garlic basically anything in Italian seasoning.

- She is often associated with Helios and the Sun in a lot of myths. I placed some sun imagery on her altar for that correlation.

- She is Kthonic but also has aspects in sea and cosmic/heavens like stars and such.

- Sweets traditionally she would be offered honey cakes.

-Graveyard Dirt especially if a crossroads lays within a graveyard

-Yew and Cypress trees

- Wands or Staffs

- In my experience she loves dragons’ blood incense

- New Moon and Full Moon

- Amulets that protects from the Evil Eye like the the Nazar Amulet.

Monster Spotlight: Domovoi

CR 3

Chaotic Good Tiny Fae

Pathfinder Bestiary 5, pg. 142 (the picture, however, is from “The Snows of Summer,” pg. 86)

Taking the shape of a domestic cat or dog when needing to move about the world, Domovoi are benevolent fae which move into populated homes, where they serve out of a seeming desire to bring some good into the world. Using their at-will Invisibility and the power to squeeze into spaces barely bigger around than a human finger, they tend to stay out of sight and work in the background, as they dislike garnering too much attention.

The opposites to the malicious Kikimora (which also comes from Slavic folklore), Domovoi seem to enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done, busying themselves with household chores or even working in the fields and asking for only the occasional offering of bread, oatmeal, tobacco, or similar in exchange for their service. Securing the allegiance of a Domovoi is as simple as offering it a new pair of shoes and promising to do one’s fair share of the work–they do not abide by laziness, and if too much is asked of them, they will often abandon the lazy family in search of a new home… Or become a nasty little haunt.

While Domovoi will never kill and have a kit devoted mostly to aiding with chores, this isn’t to say they’re defenseless. When punishing laziness, Domovoi may use their 3/day Reduce Person to change a slothful adult into a child-size version of themselves so they get a hint of how the house fae sees them. Their at-will Lullaby combines well with their 3/day Sleep, potentially quelling a dangerously escalated argument between a couple, or stopping a villainous intruder from making it too far into the house. Defending their house is another one of their functions, and something they do well despite being so small.

Intruders are the ones that see the full brunt of the Domovoi’s offensive prowess. Telekinesis is usually only available to Wizards/Sorcerers who’ve reached middling levels, but Domovoi can use it at will. They can hurl objects upwards to 50 pounds with a single standard action, or use their power to shove people right off their feet. If 50 pounds doesn’t sound like a lot, how does “three and a half bowling balls” sound? 50 pounds is a lot to be hit by if you’re just a low-level burglar breaking in to an old farmer’s house for some loot.

Domovoi are friendly, yes, and are tremendously useful to any household that will have them, but remember that they are Fae. There’s a lot of power packed into all that beard.

OUR BUFFALO 🦬 ✊🏼

"Historically the buffalo had more influence on man than all other Plains animals combined. It was life, food, raiment, and shelter to the Indians ...

The buffalo and the Plains Indians lived together, and together passed away ...

The year 1876 marks practically the end of both."

(Hecetu ~ Amen)

Spotted Elk (Lakota: Uŋpȟáŋ Glešká, sometimes spelled OH-PONG-GE-LE-SKAH or Hupah Glešká: 1826 approx – December 29, 1890), was a chief of the Miniconjou, Lakota Sioux. He was a son of Miniconjou chief Lone Horn and became a chief upon his father’s death. He was a highly renowned chief with skills in war and negotiations. A United States Army soldier, at Fort Bennett, coined the nickname Big Foot (Si Tȟáŋka) – not to be confused with Oglala Big Foot (also known as Ste Si Tȟáŋka and Chetan keah).

In 1890, he was killed by the U.S. Army at Wounded Knee Creek, Pine Ridge Indian Reservation (Chankwe Opi Wakpala, Wazí Aháŋhaŋ Oyáŋke), South Dakota, USA with at least 150 members of his tribe, in what became known as the Wounded Knee Massacre.

Book a reading here!

I had originally been selling my readings on my site, Frigg’s Hearth, but have decided to open an Etsy instead for easier access to everyone. For now I have a handful of themed readings as well as custom rune and tarot readings, so check them out!

Divination is where it all started with me. My mom is an immaculate diviner and when I was young she would do readings for me all the time. When I was a little older she gifted me my first deck, the Rider-Waite deck I still use today, and it’s been my passion since. Since then I have done an incredible amount of readings for others and have decided to start doing so again.

My practice with the runes isn’t too far off from my work with tarot. While I haven’t been working with them for as long as I have been with cards, I’ve had 17 years of learning and using them. They are a major part of my practice today as a blood-oathed devotee of Óðinn.

What You Get

My readings are meant to tell a story, one that holds importance to you as a querent. Instead of relying on the dry commentary of each card's meaning, I will weave together a narrative that allows you to take a deeper look at the issue at hand.

You will receive a detailed and illustrated PDF of your reading that also features a picture of your spread. I will typically receive outside information regarding your question or topic as well, especially when trance work is included in your reading. You are also able to ask questions about your reading for further clarification.
