Ok so I try to keep this page just focused on the business and my practice. Just trying to bring positive awareness to my path.

Today I'm just really disappointed with Heathenry online.

History is extremely important and I also believe that evolution has it's place. After all we are modern people trying to understand ancient things from so many lenses and half of us aren't even aware those lenses exist.

The idea is to be balanced. Yes look at the history. Yes look at the archeology. Yes read, study, form an informed opinion using critical thinking. Practice. Understand Christians wrote our sources before they were ever translated but without their efforts we would have very little.

Yes teach. Yes lead. Be objective though. Provide the material. Guide the mind into what is right for them. Not you. And if someone doesn't fit in your box then there are other boxes that exist for them, send them on their way.

We are so flipping political now because of the large heathen groups telling us we should be this, or we should be that... We have to declare this or we're bad. We have to shun this or we're bad. We're at each other's throats and it's worldwide here online... I see it. I'm really tired of left and right, black and white thinking... This world is actually pretty grey...

I'll end this rant with this. We are our deeds. We are our words. We are the only ones responsible for our oorlog, period. Keep studying. Honor the old ways, however that looks for you. Honor the present too. Remember your ancestors. Do your best when you can 💚

A little sneak peak at an upcoming item. This beautiful 8" acacia bowl will be up on Etsy tomorrow (mostly because I need daylight for an official photo shoot). It reads "maðr er gleði manns", which in English is "man is the joy of man" (a sentence from Havamal 47). Featured inside the boli is an 8 spoked sigil tipped with Wunjo, the rune of joy. This bowl is large enough for small group use or small enough for personal use. Whichever you decide. It'll be listed for $36 plus shipping and tax. US shipping only right now. Check my bio for the link to the shop or hit me up here via pm!

Tis the season 🎄! I'll be making ornaments until I run out of straw. I sold these in a 6 pack last year. They don't come in any fancy box or anything because I'm not even sure if I can find a box to fit these haha. They measure 4 inches across roughly so are pretty good sized. $12. US shipping only. They will be available on Etsy soon!

An evening interpretation today. Had a busy day of visiting so it is what it is. Enjoy 💚... .... ....

Kenaz (ken-awz)
6th rune placed in the first Aett
Meaning: torch, sore

"That sixth I know, if someone wounds me with runes on gnarled roots written, or rouses my wrath with reckless speech: him blights will blast, not me."

-Havamal 151

Torch is known to every living man by its pale, bright flame; it always burns where princes set within."

-Old English rune poem

So these are some pretty powerful words above right?! I've always personally experienced Kenaz as a light in the dark; a way to illuminate your path when it's unknown. But let's dive a little deeper today...

In the first poem it points to Kenaz being a return to sender type rune. A rune that when used magically can reflect any curse back. That's a pretty cool aspect of this rune. Unlike Thurisaz which directs force we create, Kenaz acts like a mirror to bounce forces directed at you from another away.

The second poem points to Kenaz as a fire rune. That can mean so many things! Our creative fire, our passions, protection, destruction, transformation, creativity... All things that fire can represent.

Today I feel as if Kenaz is asking us to bring forth our power. Take time to set in it and find the strength to move forward through whatever blockage or obstacles you have in life now. Sometimes the only way out is through and on the other side we see just how strong we really are.
... .... ....

What are your thoughts on Kenaz? Let me know 👇

Please stay kind in the comments. We all have our own interpretations and impressions and I'd love for us to have open discussion with that in mind.
