Belated happy Halig, Equinox, Equilux

Just looking for a place to put this. I did my Autumn Equinox 3-day devotional that I have detailed in my book Following the Sun: Hearth and Home Devotionals Through the Wheel of the Year (available at The Magical Druid).  Here were my divination results (using Taren Martin's Rune Deck, also sometimes available at the Magical Druid; rune poem translations come from the accompanying booklet).

What is the lesson of the season that has passed?

Yr -- A bow is for noblemen
and warriors everywhere
a joy and mark of distiction,
upon a fair horse,
steadfast on its course, a part of the war-gear

Skill and mastery come with consistent commitment and practice.

What do I need to be wary of?

Ken -- The pine is a tree that is know by all
for its flame,
shining and brilliant it often burns
where the people relax inside

An interesting omen here. I have the phrase "all is not gold that glitters" in my head.  Be aware of hearth or community fires that may not be what they seem.

What is the lesson of the season to come?

Eoh -- On the outside, the yew is a rough tree,
hared and secured in eth earth, keeper of fires,
sustained by deep roots
It is a pleasure to have on one's land.

Connection and reliability. To pull from the 2nd omen, the hearthfire that is reliable and consistent is where to find connection.

Maybe?  I'll have to think on it some more.

Happy 2026! An announcement and some astrology

 Well hello! I wanted to take a few minute before the year gets cooking...  FIRST... finally, at long last... this happened: If you are one of the two or three people who have participated in the various "a-longs," here they all are :)  As such, I'll be removing those from this blog eventually (as I've seen them reproduced by both human and probably AI types).  I chose the spiral bound because there is nothing I dislike more than trying to follow a ritual script in a book that won't stay open.   Exclusively available at  The Magical Druid  or you can just email me directly.   On to the new year :) The Yule omen was for Mint (Druid Plant Oracle) bringing clarity, concentration, and renewal.  My omen pulled during the first night of Yule for January was Laguz.   The coming weeks are about digging deep into that inner well of wisdom that you have, your intuition, to find new focus and new purpose as to your work for the year....

Fall Blogging challenge Days 1-4

 I am doing the "Fall Witchy Blogging Challenge" put up by friend Magpie over at  her blog, Parlor Games and Pentagrams .  I typically suck at these kinds of things, but I figured why the heck not? So hear I am, technically on Day 4 and just getting started, so I am going to be efficient and lump 1-4 together and really attempt to do better. No, seriously. Sep. 22 Fall Equinox how are you celebrating. Sep. 23 New Moon, embracing the coming dark half of the year. I am going to smoosh these together.   Normally I have multiple celebrations for all the high days.  My spouse and I usually lead the rite at the  shop .  In years past there is also the celebration with my  grove , and then I have my own home observation, which I have detailed here before. I know the Neopagan calendar calls it Mabon. This year people on the socials have been extra vocal about the name, which, if I were doing a reconstructed Welsh thing might matter to me. But I ackno...

Inspiration (10)

 Of all the bits of the ADF Core Order, this is the one that escapes me... I just don't feel a connection to that "part" of things (despite being a devotee of two deities which could have "Inspiration" as their middle names).  So at last night's Druid Moon I decided to volunteer for that part. Because it was in the evening, my  anomic aphasia  was starting to get worse, so it wasn't all I hoped. But I have a bit more time now... Spirits of Inspiration, I call out to you I ask that you join your magic with my own That together we find the words to express my thoughts, my love, my devotion May I translate my emotions, My fears and feelings And express them well and clearly so that I may honor my kindred My family and myself
