When I went out to build this altar at the end of April I wasn’t even consciously aware of how close to the holiday Beltane it was. Beltane is a Celtic pagan holiday falling on the first of May. It is said when the veils between this world and the fairy world are at theirContinue reading “Beltane Faerie World (FIRE!)”

Tiwaz, or the “Spiritual Warrior” Rune has special significance to me. One day, when I was about sixteen, I was standing in the kitchen of our home. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, something hit me in the top of the head. Startled, I looked down and picked it up. It was the TiwazContinue reading “Spiritual Warrior Rune/ Tiwaz”

One of the things that living in quarantine does is it makes us have to face our inner issues. Without the distractions of the outside world, there is no where to run and hide. I have been joking that it’s as if Mother Earth sent us to our rooms and said, “Now think about whatContinue reading “Wholehearted (Yin/ Yang heart)”

The moon and her cycles can be a good reminder of how everything in life goes through cycles. Cycles within cycles. I am currently experiencing the very early symptoms of menopause. That is part of a very large cycle in a woman’s life; Maiden, Mother, Crone. Within that I am still experiencing my monthly cycles,Continue reading “The Moon”

One of my first attempts at a “nature shrine” was simply bringing shells and crystals to this local well and placing them around the outside. I am a lover of the sea. I lived on the beach in Maine for ten years before I came to Vermont. I miss the salty smell in the air,Continue reading “The Well”

This nature shrine was inspired by the Spring, and dedicated to this beautiful little waterfall I pass on my walk often. You can’t get the full effect of this one just from a photo. That is because it is about the sound and the movement of the water coupled with the strands of flower petalsContinue reading “Waterfall Flowers”

The night before I constructed “The Dragon” I had a dream. I was in the deep, churning dark sea somehow suspended in a “safe” bubble under the water with my youngest son. We could sense something powerful lurking around us, it was the force making the sea churn. At one point it stuck it’s headContinue reading “The Dragon”

This nature shrine is of the Rune Algiz. Algiz is the rune of protection. I felt as though we all needed a little extra protection with this virus all around us. In fact, most people are now wearing protective “gear” when going out into the world including masks and gloves. Masks and gloves are goodContinue reading “Algiz; The Rune of Protection”

Cernunnos is a Celtic horned god. There were many horned gods throughout Europe. It is believed that Cernunnos is sort of a final representation of all of these gods. But remnants of horned gods were found in many early European areas not just in the UK. For example, German and French cultures had a prominentContinue reading “Cernunnos”

This nature shrine was inspired by the Druid symbol “Awen.” Awen is a symbol made up of three lines with three dots on top. Much like the three sticks I have placed here, and the three flowers hovering above. In the Druid tradition, it is supposed to represent energy coming down from the sun. TheContinue reading “Awen Sculpture”
