So a common question in relation to upg* is how to know if the gnosis you get is good or not. A basic rule of thumb is to take the information you get and double check it, whether that’s checking it against mythology or other types of fact checking.
The Crows Spoke Again.
Blessings Darlings!
I don’t know if crows act as messengers from the Goddess who has me collared, but there are these times when … well, they can certainly be omens. So far, always omens about crap going down at work. It happened again yesterday.
Translating – The Morrigan’s Prophecy part 2
Today I want to take a look at the second half of the Morrigan’s prophecy after the battle of Moytirra, which Gray does offer a translation for, but with significant sections excluded:Boí-si íarum oc taircetul deridh an betha ann beus ocus oc tairngire cech uilc nobíad ann, ocus cech teadma ocus gach díglau; conid ann rocachain an laíd-se sís:
an Slua Sí

The Obligatory Mercury Retrograde Post
Blessings Darlings!
About 3 times a year, the planet Mercury is said to go ‘retrograde’ – that is, from the viewpoint of someone watching it from Earth, it goes ‘backwards’ from it’s usual course. This regularly-scheduled event leads to a crapload of posts full of strum und drung among the neoPagan community. “Don’t sign any legal agreement!” “Expect all your electronics to break!” Etc.
Well.
In the Presence of the Gods
I am currently working on an article for a new anthology through my publisher and during the process have been reflecting about the times I have felt the presence of the Gods around me. It is always hard to describe the numinous and so often after such an experience we find ourselves questioning and rationalizing away what we felt. This makes sharing these moments far more difficult, but there have also been times when the presence of the Gods created noticeable, tangible effects that were witnessed by many people and these are harder to rationalize away.
The Spirits Laughed.
Blessings Darlings!
Today is just a typical day at Chez Fern, with the Big Cooking Project making bone broth (don’t worry, it wasn’t anyone you knew).
