web of wyrd: annual energies and relationship milestones

my best friend is newly engaged, as i said recently, which has inspired me to focus a little more focused on love and romance posts than you typically would see from me. i previously covered annual energies and some broad themes associated with them, so i thought lets look a bit more at the romantic themes seeing that it's over a year later (since that post) and i have seen WAY more webs at this point and picked up on some other trends.

something to keep in mind though - these are COMMON energy markers, any of this can happen any year. these are just the best case scenarios in my opinion.

for instance you can get married in a 22 year, but i feel like it may not last long term or it might be an elopement that upsets the couple and those around them long term...

or you could have a baby in a 12 year but need a c-section.

just some examples. by no means should you feel limited by what i say below!

let's get to it!

energies that indicate meeting your person

3 (the empress): finding a relationship where both people feel nurtured. it's a loving connection with a great potential to become something beautiful. this is a connection where you can dream about a life and a family together.

5 (the hierophant): meeting someone who shares your values and beliefs. this often leads to a conventional, committed relationship, often marriage.

6 (the lovers): friends to lovers energy for sure - it starts with simple conversations and evolves into love. it more often than not leads to meaningful and deep connections.

10 (the wheel of fortune): suggests that meeting your future spouse / person could be a part of your destiny, often through unexpected or "serendipitous" events.

17 (the star): the relationship is blessed/guided by a higher power. destiny seems to bring you both together. you can sleep well knowing you're on the right path and that the universe is bring you a significant relationship.

19 (the sun): a connection will bring happiness, warmth, and a sense of completeness.

21 (the world): finding a partner with whom you feel whole, a sense of completion, and/or a deep understanding. this leads to a long-term, potentially lifelong partnership.

energies that indicate moving in together

4 (the emperor): moving in together often requires a stable and organized environment, which aligns with the themes of the energy such as establishing a solid foundation and practical arrangements.

5 (the hierophant): moving in together can be seen as following milestones in a relationship leading towards a more traditional or serious commitment (like shared housing).

7 (the chariot): directly linked to movement and travel. represents taking control of one's life and moving forward, which can include physically moving to a new home or location.

energies that indicate becoming engaged

4 (the emperor): suggests that a relationship is entering a phase of solid commitment, usually it's the formalizing of a bond through engagement if that is the next phase of commitment in terms of your relationship.

5 (the hierophant): suggesting that a relationship is moving toward a more traditional and committed phase - if you are in a relationship, it is likely that the next step will be an engagement.

6 (the lovers): this energy is all about love, union, and making choices that align with one's heart. it can symbolize making a significant commitment, like being engaged.

11 (justice): there is a desire to make things official, usually this is an engagement leading to marriage. this is the most common marker i see in the years where people get engaged to one another.

19 (the sun): suggests a joyous occasion, like getting engaged, where both parties feel a sense of fulfillment and happiness surrounding their future together (there might be a large engagement party to celebrate).

21 (the world): signifies reaching a milestone. it can indicate that a couple is ready to complete one phase of their relationship and move into the next one, like engagement.

energies that indicate a wedding/marriage

4 (the emperor): often this is a sign of "securing" the partnership, which can extend to the formality and structure of marriage.

5 (the hierophant): represents tradition, societal norms, and formal ceremonies. this energy can signify a traditional marriage or commitment in the eyes of the community/law, suggesting a formal union. all of the events of a wedding are ticked off: engagement party, bridal shower, bachelorette, bachelor, rehearsal, ceremony, reception, send off, and honeymoon.

6 (the lovers): the union of two individuals. it doesn’t always spell out marriage ceremony, but it often comes up in the context of a relationship oriented commitment.

11 (justice): this can indicate making things official through marriage.

13 (death): this could be a symbol of a brand new era in your relationship (aka marriage).

19 (the sun): this energy can symbolize the happiness and celebration of a wedding, suggesting that marriage will bring joy and fulfillment to the couple.

20 (judgment): like 13, this could be a symbol of a brand new era in your relationship (aka marriage).

21 (the world): indicates that a partnership has reached a stage where marriage feels like the natural and fulfilling next step. symbolized a long-term commitment.

energies that indicate having a child

2 (the high priestess): often this energy shows up when a couple has been trying to no avail to become pregnant and suddenly does. this is because this energy signifies hidden or secret aspects of life (like the early stages of pregnancy). the energy is also connected to the moon and other feminine mysteries.

3 (the empress): the most obvious energy linked to pregnancy and fertility - it symbolizes motherhood, creation, and nurturing. there is a strong possibility of pregnancy in these years

17 (the star): symbolizes hope. this is a time of fertility and holds the possibility for new beginnings. may suggest a blessing or a dream come true (becoming pregnant after a period of trying or waiting).

18 (the moon): deals with cycles (ovulation), intuition, and hidden aspects of life. like 2 energy (but more common in the outer ring) this energy signifies the mystery of pregnancy and the feminine cycles. sometimes i see this in the ring where people weren't trying and tested negative or they don't show (physically or publicly) when pregnant.

19 (the sun): can signify a healthy, happy pregnancy, and the birth of a child (come on it's a kid on a horse). suggesting a positive outcome (you test positive hCG on the stick or with blood).

20 (judgment): suggests the arrival of a new life / the transformative experience of becoming a parent. this could also be a positive sign for couples looking to adopt or foster a child (as it could be a sudden and somewhat unexpected change of events (the list is often long)).

21 (the world): symbolizes the completion of a cycle, such as successfully conceiving or carrying a pregnancy to term (if not beyond the "due date"). can represent the fulfillment that comes with creating life.

I was studying the Nornir today and came up with a cool personal interpretation I thought I would share:

Urðr (Fate) represents that which is outside of one’s control but which affects their fate regardless.

Verðandi (Happening) represents the actions one can take to change their fate, for better or worse. These are things in one’s control.

Skuld (Debt) represents the fact that every action taken in the 9 Worlds affects everyone within them. She asks us “What do we owe to each other?” She also represents the energetic debts you take on and pay off in your life (similar to the Westernized idea of Karma).

What do y’all think?

[lokavisi]

In Heathenry, upholding oaths are of the utmost importance. When you fulfill your oaths (or promises), you build your luck and strengthen the wyrd and bonds you share with all those who witness you fulfill that oath. That means the connections you make through that action will better serve you down the line. It means that certain opportunities that may have otherwise been hidden from you will become more visible and accessible to you. Oaths are not meant to be fulfilled in an entirely selfish manner, but it is certainly advantageous to do so.

Now more than ever, it is important to strengthen our bonds with others and build our luck. Connections built on trust, honor, and right action are powerful. They make some many things possible. This week is a time to really hone in on how you're upholding your end of your deals and making sure you really follow through. It could look like upholding your oath of employment and doing your job well, leaving out a regularly scheduled offering (maybe even one you forgot to leave out last week), or doing something for a friend that you promised to do (even if you get to the day of and don't feel like leaving the house). Follow through. Be there for the people you have promised to be there for, even when it's hard. When you are there for them, they are there for you.

Conversely, if others are not upholding their oaths to you, you owe them nothing. It is up to them to repair any damage they caused, and you are well within your right to demand weregild (compensation). (However, if pursuing that would create more problems than it is worth, simply walk away with the knowledge that they are not worth your precious energy.) Your wyrd is better strengthened with others and your luck best accumulated elsewhere.

In either case, stay strong and steadfast in your principles and self-respect.

People believe that for magic to be truly effective, it must be instantaneous and a tried and true method for every person. But my way cannot be another's way. I work with the ebb and flow of nature. Sometimes, nature is slow, prolonged. Problems and situations take time to manage, to heal, or deal with. Other times, it can be fast, but maybe not as much as people would like.

All things have limitations. Even magic, even gods. So, not everything can be instantaneous or even work for others or ourselves all the time. Just as much as some things in nature may be more effective depending on our personal biology.

When you mess with the ebb and flow, you start to break down the systems of balance. When you begin to alter and tear at the threads that bind us all. Just as there is balance to nature, there is balance in magic. When things are forced in ways, even of the ways through our sciences, unexpected things can happen. In my view, it's the way the world, the way web of wyrd works, and the will of the Norns to keep balance as they nurture the great tree. For the sake of continued existence.

So... it has been a little bit since Riot Games had the mass lay-offs and closed down Riot Forge. Let me just say that the closing of Riot Forge sucks, majorly. Of the games I played, I really liked their output. Ruined King is awesome, and while over the course of playing it I just grew to both love and hate Convergence but overall it was still a fun experience.

I know they still got Bandle Tale coming out, which will be the last Riot Forge game, I think. So I just wanted to speak quickly of an idea I think could have been cool to see if Riot Forge had not been closed.

An isometric twin-stick shooter starring Graves and Twisted Fate.

I've been doing some reading on the characters cause I think they seem genuinely interesting. A game starring them on their adventures could be so interesting. As a fan of Darksiders Genesis my first thought is get Airship Syndicate to do the game I suggest, but I do think getting a different developer would work too. I'm thinking Upstream Arcade, the people behind West of Dead and Hellboy: Web of Wyrd. Mostly because of the former than the latter.

Maybe with Riot working on projects outside of their usual multi-player wheelhouse we could hopefully get something like this, but I'm not holding my breath.

Would any of you wish for this too? Or do you have ideas for what other characters could have gotten their own game? Which character and what kind of game?

tarot cards and their key phrases: wands

this is just a beginners guide to the wands suit - i won't go into imagery, color use, etc. these are key phrases that come to mind when i think of the cards - NOT how they should be directly applied. they needs to be thought about situationally and the cards / when they are in combos they can change or alter their meanings of any reading.

\my home is Nowhere.

Not the start of the week, but feels weirdly appropriate for a full moon

Prayer for the Start of the Week

To the Norns and the Divine, as the Web is Woven

As the sun rises and the wheel turns, I greet the dawn of a new week. Before me lies the unwoven thread, The path not yet tread, the story not yet told.

At the well beneath the great tree, I honor the Norns Urðr, who remembers, Verðandi, who is, Skuld, who waits with what must be.

Wise weavers of fate, Spinners of threads both bright and shadowed, May I walk with awareness of your work. May I meet what comes with strength and grace.

I call to Odin, wanderer and wise one, To Freyja, mistress of magic and might, To Frigg, keeper of deep knowing, And to all the holy powers who guide and guard.

Bless my steps as the days unfold. May I speak with truth, act with honor, Love fiercely, and walk rightly.

May I find joy in the work of my hands, Clarity in the stirrings of my heart, And peace in the patterns of the web.

This week, may my deeds ripple outward As offerings upon the loom of fate.

Hail the Norns. Hail the gods. Hail the spirits and ancestors. Hail the weaving of wyrd.
