The Hollow Bone is an Asshole
I honestly once had someone tell me quote “I don’t create drama, I serve.” in response to my calling her out for bully and drama creating behaviour.
As if being a servant of her god gives her the right to bully, troll, humiliate and create drama. Which god is going to exempt you from being a decent human being? Does she serve the god of assholes? I really doubt her god was commanding her to troll Facebook.
Just because you are god owned (or a hollow bone or a godslave or whatever you wish to call it) does not mean that everything you do is in their service. Nor does it mean you get a free pass on your words and behaviour.
I don’t justify myself by claiming god slave status.
If I mess up and be a bitch and get called on it, I own it, either by apologizing or being a bigger bitch, depending on the situation. But I don’t lay the blame at the feet of Cernunnos. He’d tear my friggin’ head off for that shit.
Of the gods that I have encountered personally, I cannot think of one who would tolerate their servant being an asshat… Continue reading
Walking
I was walking a street in suburbia this afternoon. The sun was at my back and the wind was cold. A few doors down and across the way a door opens. A man in a brown jacket steps onto the front porch and then turns back to speak to someone in the house.
Then it hits me. As if the wind did not break upon my body but rather ran through it. Half a moment of fuzzy confusion and then a familiar shift in consciousness. Suddenly the world is full of glare, lens flare, as if the sun had swung around and into my face.
The only thing in focus is the man in the brown jacket. His head still turned to face inside the home. He begins to speak, I can hear him clearly, despite the fact that he is not close and is turned away from me. His voice echos towards me as if amplified somehow. He says “Okay Juni, stay the course. Everything will work out in the end.”
I blinked. And still walking, turned my corner. The man closed the door and started down the drive.
Another shift. A deep breath. The wind ceases to flow… Continue reading

Mortar and Pestle
The new piece in the casting collection (aka divination set) has now been blessed and blooded, as well as the new casting cloth. A couple of other items got their blessing in at the same time. As you can see in the photos, when I wind up needed extra table space I just set up the TV tray as a kind of side altar.
In case you missed it, the new piece for the set is a small pewter mortar and pestle. It shall symbolise health, healing, medicine, doctors, herbalism and the like.
The new casting cloth is made of deer hide. The ink I used to make the sigil was not totally dry before I rolled it up for the first time; as such an imprint was made on the back. Which actually turned out pretty awesome; I love it when happy accidents like that happen.
Anyways, the whole set got a month off (well technically one whole menstrual cycle) to relax, soak up the sun, enjoy the “super” full moon and all that jazz. And get acquainted with the newest member of the set of course. Each individual piece has just a tiny sliver… Continue reading
