Vervain + the Roses

Journeys in Magic and Mystery. Basically I keep a public book of mirrors because I’m either insane or I just sometimes feel like I am and maybe I’m not the only one. Eclectic pagan witch. Mostly Odin, Hel, Freyja, Guan Yin. UPG heavy. Sideblog.

Full Moon Releasing

I release any and all conscious and unconscious resistance to the concept of order in my life and in my home. I release any and all conscious and unconscious attachment to or desire for chaos energy for its own sake.

I release any and all anger, bitterness, and/or resentment for not having received a HF Autism diagnosis as a child or teenager. I recognize that the research is new and ongoing and that I am lucky to be alive at a time when so many resources are available to me. I also recognize that my journey is perfect for me, and at this stage in my journey I am already perfect.

I release any and all conscious and unconscious resistance to taking care of my body, or to taking care of myself, period.

I release any and all conscious and unconscious resistance to performing those activities often classified as “chores.” My home is my sacred temple, and deserves the attention, and my roommates and I do not need to settle for less than a well loved and beautifully kept home. Abundance mindset means care for it like it’s yours and enjoy the fruits while they’re in season.

I think that’s enough for one moon.

Dude, super blue imbolc blood moon right after new year super moon tho? There’s magic afoot...

Thurisaz, Ansuz

ᚦ

Is this thurisaz? I knew when I put that rune in my hair that I was inviting chaos and destruction to come and change my life, presumably eventually for the better, but damn. Since then, Paul and Peterson have erased almost everything off my list of things I know for sure (which was already very short) AND Grandad died. Anything else, 2017? You have just a few more hours. Make it quick.

ᚨ

And perhaps this is Ansuz, too: from a word I was led to another word, from a deed to another deed. Odin died on that tree before he rose again wiser and changed. Perhaps it is only the total ruthless destruction of thurisaz that makes Ansuz possible. And yet the destruction, at least of my worldview, is not sad. It is opening the pathway of faith, and steering me away from the path of firm knowledge. I'm not sure there is any such thing as firm knowledge, anyway. So is anything really lost, or is it more that negative space has been created for potential to inhabit as reality? Same thing?

Thurisaz clears the path, Ansuz lights the way.

Ran’s Runes (divination tool in honor of the sea goddess)

From a dream I had. A plain mason jar with sand, shells, rocks and sea glass from our local shores. Added in small blue garden stones with runes painted on them. Simply turn and watch the changing sandscape until a rune - or several - are clearly visible to guide you. :)

That…that’s brilliant.

How to Enchant an Object

1. Always start with intent. What is the goal of the enchantment? Beauty? Fear? Love? Once decided, gather your ingredients. Remember that they can be physical, such as dried herbs or crystals, or it can be your own energy.

2. Select an object to enchant. I find that jewelry works very well with enchantments, but almost any object will do. Personally, I believe that the material of the object you are enchanting will affect how long the spell lasts (I’ve found that metal holds it the longest).

3. Pick a time to do the spell. Depending on your beliefs, the time of day, lunar cycle, or day of week may strengthen or weaken the effects of your enchantment.

4. Place the object amid your spell components. So, if using physical components, place it in a glass bowl (or the floor, a hole in the ground, etc.) with your ingredients. If using energy, place it in your hands, or alternatively, hold your hands over the object (note: or another body part. It doesn’t have to be hands. I have done enchantments that are completed with a kiss, or require stomping. Again, it all depends on the intent).

5. Regardless of the type of ingredients you are using, imagine that your selected object is filling with new powers. The energy from your body - or from your ingredients - is being sucked out and absorbed. What color is this energy? Does it move quickly or slowly? Does it make a sound, or give off a smell? How do you feel imaging it? If it were to talk, what would it say? Know the energy. When you feel as though the object you are enchanting is teeming with new powers, gently bring your mind back to the present. Your enchantment is complete.

Hel v. Odin re: Death

Hel is death in the sense of decomposition.

Odin is death in the sense of sacrifice.

Decomposition versus Sacrifice.

Forgetting versus Cutting.

Consequence versus Cost.

Submitting to the Inevitable versus Mastering your Fate.
