What of that Groundhog?

On January 30, 2013 By hexsignhomesteadIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

By the end of the week, the groundhogs -- both proverbial and those trotted out for media exploitation -- will either have seen their shadows or not. But here in the northlands, many more weeks of winter are on tap regardless; while some who live here chomp at the bit, waiting for warmer weather and …

External Confirmation

Not that I need it, but it is always nice to have palpable confirmation of the shimmers in the ethers when they are felt.Yesterday's post was entitled "It's Getting to be 'That Time."Today, just a few minutes ago in fact, we heard one of our hens carrying on with her "I laid an EGG!" songs. …

It’s Getting to That Time

On January 25, 2013 By hexsignhomesteadIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Yes, indeed, it's getting there. The moon is all but full (two days hence) and then in less than a week a new month and all the while the tide is coming. The tide of change, again, of Spring Finding, or Imbolc as most call it. Before the land has begun to wake, here in …

The Witch Is Back

On January 19, 2013 By hexsignhomesteadIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Wonderful Frigga's Day just past! I think starting my thinking along Frigga lines on Thorsday, when I clean the stove with her in mind, and light Her candle as darkness comes has proven its worth. With the day just past dedicated to Her, a seemingly monumental amount has been accomplished, with no fatigue or knee …

Invoke Positive Change with the Moon

On January 11, 2013 By hexsignhomesteadIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

With the new moon tomorrow, we can begin a new cycle of creation. I recently suggested to a friend who is nearing the end of her available unemployment compensation, and who also enjoys gardening, that she find and plant a few seeds of some plant that will grow in her climate, that evokes in her …

Gathering Energies

On January 9, 2013 By hexsignhomesteadIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

I am seriously feeling the energies gathering over the past week or so. It seems, in my mind at least, that the Gods must be pleased with something..perhaps my finally having completed the finish and assembly of my spinning wheel. I had my partner shoot a quick video of my first bit of spinning.. He's …

Hello, 2013!

On January 3, 2013 By hexsignhomesteadIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

My habit for many years, for the time of calendar changing, has been to set foot into the new calendar with intent and start it in the way I would like it to proceed....Thus no late night drunken orgies here, often a night of cleaning, but of late a good night's sleep and a productive …
