Mark Your Calendars

It is with great with pleasure that I announce ShaysRune.com (that would be me) will be participating in a Vendor's Fair on Thursday,  December 4th at Jack Desmond's Irish Pub from 6-10pm.

Located at 10339 South Ridgeland Ave in Chicago Ridge, there will be a number of vendors to help you get your holiday shopping needs cared for.

I will be doing rune readings at a flat rate of $20 for this fair.
Food and beverages will be available from the pub.

This is a fundraiser for St. Gerald's with each person asked to bring a winter item such as hat, scarf, mittens or gloves for donation please. Each person donating an item will receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win items from the participating vendors, including myself.

I am very excited about this event and am very happy for the opportunity to participate.  Kim Wimmer has been organizing these fairs for years, always with great success in turnout and for helping St.Geralds.

The events page will be updated as the time draws closer.
If you would like a reminder, please comment or follow this blog. It promises to be a fun night for all.

Time to renew and start again

Any of you that have been checking in on this blog from time to time have no doubt wondered where the heck I disappeared to I'm sure. After all, it's been what, like eight months, right? You probably thought I'd completely given up. In all honesty, I didn't, there were plenty of times I'd tell myself I needed to get on here and write something. To lay it out, I went through a few "dark" periods where my motivation lagged. But so many wonderful things have happened, renewing me, that I need to share them with you! One of the most important happenings has been becoming part an amazing LOCAL Heathen community and being given the honor of sharing the wisdom of the runes at gatherings, as well as actually lead one of our rituals. Most recently, becoming one of just a few in our group to undertake the honor of seidr, spā, and, in my case as a female, the craft of the völva. This is no small task, and I have much, much work to do, and believe me when I say I ...

Blossoming Labors

Last month I spoke about a fresh start, a renewal, and the need to plant seeds of our hopes, dreams, ideas and goals.  How has that worked out for you so far? If you've been nurturing them with the attention they've needed, you should be seeing their blossoming well underway.  This is a fertile time in our hemisphere....summer time, and the start of the heat that goes with these longer days that can quickly sap, even wither our energy and will. It's easy to get distracted with "fun in the sun", the end of the school year,  graduations, not to mention weddings and vacations too. So what about your plantings those precious concepts, ideas and possibilities? Can you afford to let them sit unattended? Of course not! Your advantage is, right now...they are not like physical plants, these burgeoning blossoms can be nurtured wherever you go, whatever else you're doing. The fertilizer and water you need for them are your time, attention, and determination to succeed i...

Winter wanes, Spring approaches

For the most part, our Winter here in this Eastern part of the Midwest has been fairly mild. Of course it's not over yet.....the crocuses and daffodils have not peeked their heads up yet. Nevertheless, despite the groundhog predicting 6 more weeks of winter, I have already seen the first harbinger of the coming Spring......the robin! We are, at this point, ready to shed our coats, or at least go to lighter weight ones, and to pack away boots and gloves. Unfortunately we still have some time to go and probably a surprise or two from Mother Nature (I will not mention the precipitation words....lol). What I want to focus on though is this time of transition. And a good rune for that is Eiwhaz, the yew rune.  It seems almost contradictory because the yew has associations with death because of the fact that the whole tree is toxic. It can neither be ingested, or its wood burned as an incense. But think on this, the yew tree is part of the evergreen family, and, there are components ...
