When I don't ask my runes any specific question they tell me things like, "The breath of God and the primordial water nourish the seed of human creation." When I do the same with my tarot cards they say shit like, "Wash the dishes, whore. One day your parents will die."

It is welcoming today to receive unbiased and honest advice especially around a birth of an idea that if acted upon will do a complete turnaround in your thoughts, actions, or behaviours. It will involve taking a different path, abandoning old habits, and embracing new perspectives. Are you prepared?

A story in manifestation

Let me tell you a story about witchcraft and manifestation:

On November 9, my beautiful Jake (Del Mar WSS) was found deceased in his stall. The day was filled with grief and tears, phone calls no one should have to make to his insurance, trying to organize a necropsy on a holiday weekend, and then trying to find transport for his remains to the university so he could get the necropsy done.

Jake’s breeder (we’ll call her K) was in disbelief when I called and told her the news but she (from over an hour away) managed to organize transport for Jake AND get the necropsy started on a Saturday of a holiday weekend (have I mentioned it was a holiday weekend?) During one of our many phone calls back and forth this day I had made a joke about Kyle, Jake’s full brother from this year and how I could buy him now. (She’s produced two horses I’ve called in love with on sight and they were Jake and Kyle. And both times I was unable to buy them right away because life).

After all the chaos was over and I was at home the breeder called me and told me that someone had flown from Texas to California to look at Kyle and she was sending her trainer to look at him the following Thursday and organizing a PPE for him. Nothing was expected to pop on the PPE and nothing really did. There was apparently one anomaly that our vet didn’t think was a big deal. He’s only 5 months old there’s a good chance he’s going to grow out of it. (I personally think rads on baby babies are pretty pointless as so much can change as they grow.)

Ok. Well, if it’s meant to happen it will, I thought. Over the next two days, in my grief I became physically ill at the idea of Kyle going to another home if I didn’t throw my hat in the ring, so I did. I told K I was interested and I would match the offer and waive a PPE. She of course refused to sell him out from under these folks (because she’s a good and moral person which is why we are friends). The trainer came out and seemed to like him as well and was impressed with my friend’s breeding program. At this point, there was no reason to believe he wouldn’t sell. I went to check out her other babies last Saturday and there was no zing with any of them except Kyle. Kyle was so much like his brother but not like him at all, but the most attractive thing: his brain works the same way as his brother’s. They weren’t the same horse but they were similar in the ways that mattered to me. That caused me to buy Jake in the first place.

I immediately went home and did a manifestation meditation. I did a meditation where I envisioned I owned Kyle and what that would look like. Then I wrote his name and birthdate and my name and birthdate on a bay leaf, both sides. Wrote his name on a black chime candle (he is black). And lit it.

I prepared a jar, cleansed with with dragon’s blood incense, and in my cauldron mixed lotus (lock opening) rose (luck) star anise (luck) dandelion(wishes, also represents Hecate and it was her night!), a “fortune” mixture I was given (Haven’t the foggiest what was in it but I needed some “Fortune” and thus it made its way into the spell), and some of his brother’s hair. I put that mixture in a small jar with a small piece of green aventurine and tiger’s eye. I sealed the jar with the wax from the candle over the cauldron, burned the bay leaf and used it to light the remnants of the spell herbs and hair on fire. Then I let the candle burn all the way down and placed the jar near my token of Epona and my hematite horse carving on my altar. I did all this with him in my mind, envisioning him coming home to me.

By Monday I still hadn’t heard. I charged a citrine shaped like a moon. I carried Ehwaz, Jera and Uruz in my pocket with the citrine. And Monday night I came home and did a repeat of the spell (sans hair though because that’s now a precious commodity), put my tokens around a black chime candle carved with his name and my name to charge them and let the candle burn all the way down.

Yesterday, I carried my tokens again and K called me around 10am to tell me that against all odds, the buyers mysteriously passed on him and did I want to work out a deal. I did and I signed a contract and now I own Kyle!

Everyone: meet Kyle (registered as Divination WSS because how I got him was ~ m a g i c k ~)

I was thinking about changing his name to Death Valley WSS (the breeder’s name theme is places in California and his sire’s name begins with a D) but that gets mixed reviews and my mom is absolutely against it and he’s her grandchild now .

Why is Thurisaz so upset?

It has a þorn in its side.

Me drawing wings on my shoes as a devotional act to Hermes: omg this will make me so speedy

My friend (the acorn and maple leaf one) said he’s gonna embroider them for me, I’m in tears.

Yes I’m aware the runes are used incorrectly here. I know the “M” is actually Ehwaz, I know the “E” is based off of Perdhro, I wasn’t trying to write his name in Elder Futhark this time, just writing his name USING some runes. I wanted it to be readable for others, a proud little announcement of my faith 😁

Made my first rune set, today with all the gifts I feel Óðinn has blessed me with I felt it only appropriate to make a set. I currently own a set made of wolf bones but I knew it was time to make my own

At the thrift today I found a beautiful pewter bowl I’ll be using for offerings and these beautiful altar shelves (I will show them off soon)

We are in a tumultuous period of time. We are so overwhelmed by the work laid out before us. Even small victories can feel pointless at times. Remember to recognize the victory that is not only behind you but the one that is ahead. Visualize this victory. Feel the immense satisfaction of having achieved your goals and doing the work, fighting the good fight. When you tire, remember that victory is already yours so long as you keep fighting. Rest when you need to, of course. Wars are rarely over after one battle. Pick up the battles you can and leave the rest. There are others fight beside you. When we work together and trust and believe in one another to do their part, we win. We cross the finish line. Appreciate the victories of the battles won. Celebrate all our efforts no matter the outcome. Anticipate the victory that is yet to come and let that anticipation fuel you when the fight becomes so draining you don't wish to carry on. Every effort is a victory in and of itself. Keep building upon it until the war is won. You can do it. We can do it. Together.

Isa/Isaz : ice

Stillness, preservation, reflection , protection, standstill/stagnation, silence

I could images this rune being associated with both; Skaði, Ull and Hel.

Ice to me is two sided. It can be both strong and brittle, hard and soft, destructive and helpful. Crystal clear see thoughts or blocking the view. The same stillness and standstill that helps preserving something in a good way can also lead to stagnation and hinder one from moving forward in a bad way. Ice can also act like a line between you and whatever is in/under it. If that line needs to be broken through or not I guess is up to each one of us and the context.

For me the Isa rune embodies all of this and more. I hope to get a deeper understanding of it and work with it in the future.
