A New Place, A New Phase

So last month I let you all know that with the closing of Transformation I would not be available for readings until further notice.

Well, today I am updating that information and letting you know that once again I am at your service with the counsel of the runes.

As of Tuesday, July 7th, I will be reading at Holistic Happenings Wellness Center  in Tinley Park.
The events page has their location and contact information already updated there.

Remember that Body, Mind Spirit Expo I mentioned in the last post?  That is where I first encountered Judy, the owner of Holistic Happenings. A conversation lead to her finding out I was a rune reader without a place to read, and me finding out she was looking for a reader for her center.
Coincidence? Uh.....no. the universe had a hand in this I'm sure.
So after an interview and sample reading, I was asked to come on board.  An intro talk on June 29th saw a pleasant crowd, which was the confirmation, I was informed, that I was meant to be there.
Am I excited? Very much so! Was it a hard decision to make? A bit......but I assure you there are no hard feelings on either side.

So when you have the opportunity, please stop by to say hello and check everything out. There are many offerings from Hypnotherapy to gong baths, foot detox, facials, massage therapy, and the list goes on. You can see descriptions of these at HolisticHappenings.org.

The other part of the month saw us on vacation. We started out in Fort Wayne, Indiana celebrating a Midsummer Moot with the Fort Wayne Heathens. This wonderful group is active in their community with regards to many things such as Hammers for Veterans, clean up days, Lore and Rune nights, and Pagan Pride days.
We had had the pleasure of meeting them last year at Chrysalis Moon gathering and have stayed connected since.  It was an honor to be invited to join them, and more so for me as I am pretty much a solitary Heathen in my own area, this was actually my first group moot.

In addition, and after nearly a year of thinking about it, I made my oath to Baldr and the light of illumination.
For this, I look to the following runes:
Kenaz, the torch/fire rune to keep my passion for knowledge and sharing the counsel of the runes with those that seek it. May its fire burn away that within me which is no longer needed that the spark within be fanned to a flame for all to see.
Sowilo, the sun rune...that my vitality and success spur me to victory over any obstacles. That my way is clear of shadows, that the journey I am on is always illuminating.
Finally, Dagaz...the dawn rune, that I appreciate each new day and the opportunities they bring. That I  appreciate when the light of dawn peeks through my window, chasing away the night and giving clarity to that which was once obscured by darkness.

Yes, a lot has happened this month.....and I am grateful for the growth and opportunities these changes are bringing.
Until next month....remember to RUNE your day!

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 ...
