Happy Spring Equinox to all. It was a lovely Burgeoning Day on our end, which we spent amongst the buds and blossoms, being serenaded by the drumming of Grouse wings.

As we prepared an Ancestral Feast—which we hold on the Spirit Nights preceeding each of the Cardinal Sabbaths we observe—a small Moth flew to us and landed on our Votive Urn, where it stayed for most of the ritual. This felt quite propitious, since the moth represents an especially potent animal emissary of the Dead in our tradition.

Honoring my deceased grandfather 🌾

brought him some offerings since samhain is coming up in a few days. two things that stick out to me are the seashell my mom brought back from the beach, and a few pinches of sand as well. he passed in 1981 when my mother was 9, so I thought he would appreciate something from her.

Preparing for my upcoming Halloween herb magic class and wanted to recommend this book ahead of time because it is so good! Full of vibrant botanical drawings and it even covers the baneful herbs which are an important part of Samhain lore. Forward by Andrew Theitic editor of The Witches’ Almanac. It has a similar almanac feel because it’s loaded with random bits of interesting and obscure information. It would be a great book to work with throughout the entire season because it has so many different recipes and rituals. 🎃 - - - #samhain #halloweenherbs #halloweenherbmagic #samhainrituals #ancestorwork #spiritcommunication #halloweenherbmagic https://www.instagram.com/p/Cidmsc8LYPo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I loveeee coffee in the morning, but my ancestors have popped up during Obi readings to guide me towards healthier alternatives as a part of better caring for my body. That’s how I discovered this delicious caffeine free, all natural, and nutrient-rich coffee replacement: dandelion and chicory root tea. It’s easy to make, better for your body, and full of fiber and antioxidants that are good for your digestive system. It has a distinctive taste that’s rich and flavorful like coffee, but also smoother and less bitter than your average cup of joe. For 16 oz. of this herbal drink: - 4 cups water - 2 tablespoons dandelion root - 2 tablespoons chicory root https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Cwe3yhHNN/?igshid=ym9v1gjwcl4n

Local root workers, wise women, elders, and ancestors of mine. My grandmother is in red and my great grandmother is beside her to the left in the dark blue. Magick is in my blood, conjure is my birthright. I am my ancestors wildest dreams in the flesh.

It's out! After three years of research and writing, I've finally released my 364 page book on the lost constellations of Northern Europe. The book is packed with wonderful illustrations by my amazing wife Alex Wynn-Rubsam! Long before the people of Northern Europe had ever heard names like Orion or Scorpio, the ancient tribes of the Celtic, Germanic and Slavic peoples had their own unique systems of constellations and magic tied to the great shapes and phenomena of the skies. Sky Wolves is an exploration of the ancient Northern European sky lore that has almost been completely eradicated over the course of the past several thousand years. Each chapter presents a constellation in summary for the curious, then follows it with enough research and scholarly information for skeptics and passionate re-constructionists alike. The text is the result of years of scholarly research, designed and laid out in a way that makes it accessible to practitioners, researchers, shamans, and even people who just want a basic idea of what their Northern European ancestors saw in the sky before the constellations and myths of the classical zodiac all but erased the rich heritage of sky lore that we are, only now, starting to piece together again. ISBN#: 9781678141080 If you'd like to pick up a copy, follow this link: http://www.thunderune.com/2020/02/sky-wolves.html I've also included a brief snippet of the book on my Patreon for supporters at the $1 level. The short section on Patreon concerns the Norse god Thor, and the constellation that was associated with him.
