I was (and still am) very angry and upset when I wrote a post that was beneath the dashes.  With a content warning of don't expect things to be fair or well thought out.  Obviously there are many legal reasons why more people don't speak out about problematic folks in our communities--as well as bullying, cyberattacks, and curse happy fuckers out there protecting the wrong people.  I've certainly been on the victim side of exposing problematic people--it can absolutely take its toll on you and ruin your name.  It's not for everyone. Then there's the whole issue of allegatio ..read more

A potent moon to set intentions. Hekate the Bountiful All Giver.   "Fox Mother" I quickly drew runes: Gebo - exchange Hagalaz - Shelter Ansuz - message We anchored and went into our Inner Sanctums. I became my Fox Mother form. The snowy Northern Forest became a springy forest of fern and pine.  Before me was a young Yggdrasil. I climbed up the trunk and laid on one of the branches. Loki Fox appeared and I shifted into a red fox. We ran and we played around Yggdrasil, making fox noises and nipping at each other. Wrestling and loving on one another. Then Hekate appeared and ..read more

Totally not me flooding my bathroom because of a spider in my shower. Okay, it was me. But not because I was scared OF the spider. I was afraid FOR the spider. I had just got into my scalding hot shower--you know, the kind that would melt lesser people--when I notice a large black spider panic climbing the shower curtain. Instead of doing the smart thing and turning off the water (I did just wake up), I put the hosed shower head down so the water wouldn't hit the curtain. Big brain, right? I thought so, too. Fuckin genious! I grabbed a cup (yes, I keep one in my shower) and I scooped the s ..read more

The birthday party went really well.  My ambitious cake idea didn't, but I had a plan b.  No stress.  I love baking, but decorating can stress me out.  Even when the second cake crumbled from being too warm and me being a little bit impatient, I didn't stress about it.  Which is a massive improvement.  Also holding oneself accountable certainly helps, too...and plan b of course.  The cake turned out great, from the edible glitter to the surprise "fire" inside, to using the failed egg half as a nest.  In times past, I'd be self-hating and catastrophizing ..read more

 And whatever else yall call May 1st! Annnnnd I haven't done anything for today, other than well wishes and listen to pagan spring music.  I'm still recovering from Saturday.  Although I have got a lot of cleaning done this week, with a lot more still to do before this weekend.  Today, instead of one unified feast, each of us is going to have a favorite food; Burgers, nuggets, and Kroger sushi. My virtual grove did have a ritual last night, but I was so tired I almost fell asleep during...not proud of that, but is what it is.  However I did have an interesting exper ..read more

Yesterday was the psychic fair and it was great.  It was at a beautiful venue called Polen Farms, in Kettering, Ohio, on a beautiful day.  Pleasant winds, warm, tiny bit of rain.  Lots of people, lots of business. Hearth Fox Oracle did pretty well vending, but especially reading.  I had 15 slots and all were filled.  I even had people who were disappointed that they couldn't sign up!  I ran out of business cards! Fuck yes business was amazing yesterday!  I love in-person events.  Trying to have just an online business can be so depressing.  Nah, in ..read more

I guess this is one of those restless full moons for me.  Yesterday I laid on the couch and napped and didn't really do anything, except shower, watch Degrassi, and play Fallout 4.  Once everyone went to bed, as usual, I got energy, except I was restless.  Too bored to do anything, though.  Oh, and I had a headache, which I think was a mix of lack of caffeine, sugar, and dehydration, so I was sure to take care of all that.  Oh oh, and allergies, let's not forget those bastards.   Somehow I still ended up staying up until 1:30-2am.  Although I tend to exe ..read more

 Yesterday was my 6-year-old's birthday, which we celebrated--he celebrated--with McDonalds and I cut up an ice cream sandwich and put sprinkles on it.  My--probably--last 6-year-old (no more humans coming out of this body, but who knows what the future holds).  Midson's birthday is on Friday.  Then Saturday is the Psychic Faire, and next Saturday, is their Wings of Fire themed birthday party.  Kinda busy around here.  I already have the birthday stuff, minus food, and all I've got to do for the Psychic Fair is put price tags on my new items and pack my psychic ba ..read more

 So I finally did the correct math as to how many years I attended college.  My dyscalculia is way worse than my dyslexia, and yet I still don't know where I got that I was in college for 10-11 years.  I dropped out in 2011--so maybe that's where I got the number?  I graduated high school in 2002 and started college in 2003 (I went to CSCC from 03-06 and WSU from 06-11).  Which finally in the last post, I realized that 03-11=11 doesn't make a lick of sense.   I know basic math, although my level isn't above 1st grade.  Although after this, I dunno... lol ..read more

 After I published the latest blog, I did a thing last night.  I took down my ordination certificate and minister license.  I had them in pretty frames on my office wall...but I didn't feel good about them, because I paid for the ordination, I didn't earn it.  I've been slowly removing them from my profiles and websites, and this early morn was the final decision.  Decided to use the frames for my artwork that I'm proud of, and a photo from when I founded Hearth Fox Oracle. Again, I am ordained and oathed by/to my deities.  I am a Priestess within my own path, and ..read more
