Can someone tell me why the Philadelphia cream cheese brand has almost like a bind rune on the bottom of their top lid to their cream cheese container? Or am I just noticing little things that have no meaning what so ever? LoL

Whats Coming Your Way this January 2025? ✨ Rune Reading ᚱᚢᚾᛖᛊ

my ko-fi :) personal readings masterlist

pile 1

runes cast: laguz, ingwaz, sowilo,

this upcoming January 2025, the energy i get for pile 1 is that you will go through emotional growth, i feel like your mind will expand, your ideas, opinions, yourself, even your subconscious mind i feel will go through a transformation, this transformation will light a (metaphorical) fire in you, something that's been dormant. Something that Is dormant in most people. You will experience a sort of internal death and rebirth this upcoming January, people in pile 1 will certainly be experiencing a lot of internal change. Don't be afraid of the future because this change will have a very positive outcome on yourself, your health, your life etc. You will be lucky to recieve these blessings this upcoming january.

pile 2

runes cast: sowilo, thurisaz, uruz

i get the energy that for this upcoming January 2025 for pile 2 you will protect yourself, your mental and physical health, i get the energy that for whatever reason you will up your defenses, strong energy of you warding off negativity in people and in general. You will be very protective of yourself and your own energy and you will be very determined about it. Just a strong vibe of you protecting your own energy, warding off negativity and negative toxic people, and protecting yourself, no matter what it takes.

pile 3

runes cast: eihwaz, destinyyy (blank rune), perthro

for the people who picked pile 3 you got quite an interesting reading, the future is uncertain for your upcoming January 2025. I get the energy that you shouldn't have any fear because you should be protected, by the presence of eihwaz, and also you will experience change and rebirth. But in general, nothing is certain because you got the blank rune which is the destiny rune. Your future is up to you, and directly linked to your present and the choices you make in the present. Even with readings they just draw on energy from the present in order to predict the future because the present is what builds the future. Also I cast the rune 'perthro' which indicates chance, the symbol of perthro is meant to look like a dice cup, which only further implies how your future is up to chance and the metaphorical throwing of the dice. Pile three you will have to go into your January completely blind ! Leave it up to chance and destiny.

10 Ideas for When You Want to Practice Divination but 'Don't Have a Good Reason to'

Sometimes you just get an urge to do some tarot, or the urge to mess with runes, but there's nothing you really want or need out of it. So I came up with some ideas that scratch the divination magic itch!

To note: for most of these prompts I will be referring to "cards" since I prefer cartomancy the most, however most of these ideas can be adapted into other forms of divination.

1. Artwork

I love drawing a random tarot card and making a quick and easy collage. Or sometimes I let the cards pick a prompt for me!

2. Make your own oracle cards/make your own form of divination

You can create your own themes, give the cards a specific use, or even just make some cards meant for witchy decoration-- do whatever you please! Likewise, you can also create your own divination system using items, symbolism, or "runic" imagery.

3. "Hang out" with your preferred divination device

I like to sit with my cards and admire the artwork, or sometimes I'll watch a movie while randomly shuffling them. It helps me feel connected to them!

4. Conduct an "interview"

Since my preferred method of divination is my tarot cards, I'll typically ask them to give me a reversed card for 'no' and a right-side-up card for 'yes'. I'll then proceed to ask it whatever questions pop into my mind. Sometimes I'll even ask it questions about myself. You can definitely adapt this idea into other forms of divination and give it a try!

Pick a card and then pick a song you feel fits the vibe of the card the most. Keep doing this until you have a full fledged playlist!

5. Make a divination-led playlist!

6. Learn a new form of divination

To name a few for inspiration: Aeromancy, Bibliomancy, Carromancy, Curiomancy, Cubomancy, Dowsing, Dream Interpretation, Scrying, Palmistry.

Please note that some forms of divination may be closely tied to closed practices and cultures and should be treated with respect.

7. Create "companion" cards for your tarot deck OR "companion runes" for rune casting!

This one coincides with idea #2 but it's a concept I love. The idea is you add new symbolic cards/runes based on preference, personal ideas, etc. It's a great way to make your deck feel even more personal to you! You could even find preexisting runes/cards and add those in if you're unsure about creating your own.

8. Make your own divination spreads

Even if you won't nessicarily use them in the moment, or even if you have a lot of spreads saved-- you can still have fun coming up with your own and writing them down to test out in the future! Think about hobbies, interests, or themes you like to inspire you.

9. Multi divination tool readings

Sometimes its fun to figure out how you can use multiple forms of divination. Write down some ideas in your grimoire on how you can possibly incorporate multiple methods so you can test it out in the future!

10. Try to predict your dreams

This one may not be a big favorite for everyone (especially considering you can argue that you'll subconsciously make your dream turn out a certain way because of your reading), but it was a fun activity i used to do when I was a beginner and needed an excuse to practice my skills! I usually would just ask a baseline question like "what will my dream look like overall?" And then from there I would ask more questions to get an idea of what it would look like.

---

I hope my list of ideas were helpful for anyone in a divination slump! I understand they may not be helpful for everyone so feel free to make your own posts with your own ideas! Likewise feel free to comment any other ideas.

gonna think a little about my mc's abilities

clotho

1. necromantic weaving

- perceives one's life force as a thread. in the case of the dead, it's incredibly faint; they had to learn to find traces of it in memories/cherished items/the corpse itself. they extend it through artifical means so they can stitch together remnants of souls/bodily parts, and hence reanimate them

-> uses said thread to reel in more memories from the deceased they don't wish to reanimate.

- traditional necromancy bypasses where the soul would inhabit to simply puppeteer the corpse; clotho revives the actual soul alongside the vessel, meaning the subject will retain their autonomy.

- their necromancy is based on the fundamental principle that a soul cannot be forced back into the mortal realm— it must be drawn/reeled back through emotional resonance (ignoring the hypocritical and invasive concept that is necromancy itself). just as a tuning fork will vibrate when exposed to a matching frequency, a soul will only respond when it feels something familiar— a mirror of its last emotions or the state it resides in. if a soul has gone to some sort of hell, they must feel pain. vice versa. because their mother had gone to purgatory (asphodel), they could never resonate with her soul via neutrality and thus bring her back

2. restoration/healing

- their rotting touch acts as a physical panacea. the area they come into contact with will rot away, only to regenerate in otherwise perfect condition. removes cancerous cells, injuries, poisons, etc to restore them to peak physicality. dubious effects when used on the head.

and that's it folks. unless you count their ability to weasel in and out of trouble, that's all they have going on for them.

Hcs on dragons and Loki's pet dragons (I don't know much about dragons in MCU. I've heard about Fafnir and that's it)

Young

Dragons instinctively want to headbutt to show dominance but a young dragons skull isn't prepared to take that yet so their horns are quite sensitive.

they show love by rubbing their heads, sensitive horns, all over a person. When Loki first introduced Thor to his pet dragons they didn't like him at all until Loki had the idea to start rubbing his head on Thor, Thor was very confused, and they understood that a friend of Loki's is a friend of theirs.

They're very gassy as they're learning to control their fire and the gas in their bellies that fuels it.

They can't fly right after they're born, it takes them a couple weeks.

They can't see glass right after they're born either, it takes their eyes a couple days to develop.

The first signs of a dragons fire is their spark, the inside of their mouth will spark randomly, indicating they're getting their fire and growing up. This makes Loki cry every time one of his babies gets theirs.

When they're threatened they stretch out their wings to make themselves look big but mostly just fall over because they aren't used to their wings yet. It's adorable.

Love pets on the underside of their neck, belly rubs, and wing stretches to explore their wings.

Always crawl into Loki's hair or on-top of his head because they much prefer high altitudes and they need to be the tallest in the room.

Very hungry! Will eat anything, Loki learned this the hard way when he left his bathroom window open and his baby got into all of his creams and soaps and ended up with a very bad tummy ache.

Love to curl up and sleep in the back of Loki's hood

Older

Very protective and able to recognise and remember people and their faces.

They HATE it when people touch their horns, they'll only allow it with people they care for deeply, such as a mate or Loki.

Love big pats and rubs on the underside of their neck, belly, and surprisingly legs.

General

For a very long time no one knew how they breathe fire, they understood the gas in their bellies, but not how it sparked. Until Loki became one of the first people to get close enough to find the runes of a fire spell carved into the inside of their mouth. These runes develop as they age and the dragons slowly learn to control the spark.

They like a diet similar to a dog or cat, lots of meats, they'll eat any meat, a few vegetables for their health, and metalsb as a treat like magnesium, zinc, potassium, sodium, especially gold, just straight up chunks of metal but only as a treat!

They also like alcohol and can stomach it when young, it's even a little good for them. Loki was very concerned when he left his wine out to find his baby dragon lapping it up until he discovered it's okay so he gives them their own little bowl when he has a glass.

Parents feed their kids by hunting, skinning with their sharp teeth, and taking chunks of meat and crushing it until it's almost a smoothie either in their mouth or with their feet. Yum...

One time Loki painted the tip of a little ones tail gold and watched them spin around in circles to eat their own tail. Eventually they realised what Loki, as he was laughing his ass off, had done and attacked him.

The reason Loki is so good with dragons is because of his bio mother. She was a friend to all dragons and once Loki, in the midst of a war, was born she showed he dragons her baby and told them to always protect him no matter what. The younglings jumped around baby Loki and tried to play with him. She giggled and pushed them away saying "he's too young to play, he can't even walk." The little ones were shocked by this strange giggling blueberry that couldn't even play. Years later Loki encounters his mothers dragon and almost dies at her hand before she realises that it's the little blueberry that belonged to her beloved friend. Loki has no idea. She trusts Loki and Loki befriends all dragons and learns their secrets such as fire breathing.

Weekly Rune (Sun, 03/23/25)

Visualize your question or needed advixe for the week and pic one of the three runes

Ready?

As always, Loki is alongside me on these readings and they are done after offerings and meditation.

1. Mannaz

The rune of man (as in mankind), indicates time to self-reflect and observation within yourself and others.  Embrace your journey of self-improvement being aware of everything around you, maybe its time to clean whatever doesn't bring you any more fulfillment or joy, but only keep you trapped in old ways. The universe is within yourself.

2. Sowilo

The rune of the Sun, this rune represents a time of happiness and hope, the beacon of life that makes everything on Earth possible. Embrace the growth, warmth and power and use it wisely, for the Sun is also an uncontrollable force.

3. Berkana

Berkana, the birch tree. This rune represent birth, fertily, growth and the regenerative power of Spring (that just arrived for half of the planet). Take this as an opportunity to invest your energy in what you really wish to see grow and bear fruit - always being mindful of what we wish for, for our intentions are the best nurturers.
