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
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 …
Welcome!

Gathering Energies
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 …
"Distaff’ Day"
My Louet spinning wheel, built from their kit and dedicated to Frigga. Painted with"heart-tulips" sending out growing faithand love and I spin and surrounded withscalloped border for smooth sailingthrough life.Traditionally, the day that women resumed their work after the holidays. I know it was traditional for women to put down their spinning and other work …
Hello, 2013!
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 …
