Anecdotal Evidence

On February 26, 2013 By hexsignhomesteadIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

One of the inevitable aspects of living, our bodies change. When we are young we cannot imagine not being "six feet tall and bulletproof" and when we get more than a few years on us, we likely long for even half of what we once had as we adjust the ways in which we work …

Snow Moon, Full Moon

On February 25, 2013 By hexsignhomesteadIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

This moon is well named, at least here. We seem to have a good portion of our snow during February, while often waiting and hoping for a white Yule. I love the late winter and early spring snows, those that get names, such as "sugar snow" (not to be confused with the recently proposed convention …

Busy "Weekend"

On February 21, 2013 By hexsignhomesteadIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Normally, after my week of commutes to town for my part time job, I am anxious to stay home and catch up on farm and home projects. This "weekend" (in quotes because I am considering three days, including Monday and not counting my first day off, tomorrow) I have not one, not 2 but THREE …

Hexeri International

On February 13, 2013 By hexsignhomesteadIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

The most recent hex designs include two custom signs currently on their way to Australia and one that I have painted for myself, but which will shortly be available to order. The sign, above, is called Blessed Year and it includes an old Norse chant inscribed around the border. "Fé, Vit, Friðr, Grið, Heill," means Wealth, …

Turning Moon Blizzard

On February 11, 2013 By hexsignhomesteadIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

We had a bona fide blizzard yesterday, with the dark moon. This moon, or the constant wind and cold in the drafty farm house, left me less than motivated to do anything. But the energies still pull in the directions of the time and though I did not do any formal working, I spent much …

Bring it On!

On February 8, 2013 By hexsignhomesteadIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

We are ready for the storm; always have a pantry full of food, my collection of kerosene lamps (started in those long ago off grid days) is full with clean chimneys and trimmed wicks and I'll top off the water storage when I do the breakfast dishes. The worst part of potential power outages is …

Bragging!

On February 2, 2013 By hexsignhomesteadIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

I was interviewed recently for the publication of the Alternative Religions Educational Network (AREN), called ACTION. My interview was just published in the Imbolc 2013 issue. Find a link to read it here; http://aren.org/newsletter/read2011.html It was an interesting process, as the questions were submitted in writing and I responded in kind. I much prefer this type …

Of Various Traditions

On February 1, 2013 By hexsignhomesteadIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Many of our holidays, both those that have been adopted by the commercial culture and used to shill all manner of products and those -- as yet -- to be so corrupted, have elements that come together from many traditions. This time of year -- whether you call it "Groundhog Day," Candlemas, Imbolc, The Charming …
