Algiz Protection, sedge or rushes, an elk. From The Book of Runes, by Ralph Blum: Algiz serves as a mirror for the Spiritual Warrior, the one whose battle is always with the self. The protection of the Warrior is like the curved horns of the elk, or like the sedge grass, for both serve to …

I’m going to use one of the fairies of Amy Brown’s art, as I like her art style. My fondness of Amy Brown’s art style really has nothing to do with my feelings regarding the good folk. There’s a separation in my head between pop culture fairies and the fair folk. Pop culture fairies are …

One of my favourite artists, Autumn Skye Morrison, who also happens to be a friend of mine, does a lot of pagan-y artwork. I own one of her paintings, “Grounded”, which is a dual canvas piece with ravens flying in the top canvas, and one standing with the image of a woman sitting overlaid in …

Flowers make me think of the earth. So does Where the Wild Things Are.
I have no answer for this one. I don’t listen to podcasts. My brain is too fucked up to handle them.
Anyone I consider close knows about my path, and those that have a problem with it are not close for long. My religion is private, but it’s intensely important to me that those I am close with respect that my faith is serious and important to me. If they’re going to treat it like it’s …
