I finished my ogham runes today!
I want to learn how to read ogham (it will likely be my Druid focus for my first degree with the Ancient Order of Druids in America), so I decided to make my own set. I cut cross section pieces from a branch pruned from the birch tree in my front yard, sanded the faces, then used my husband's wood burning tool to burn the letters into them.
Then, I lit some incense (I used Frankincense because of its use to sanctify spaces and objects), and I said these prayers/incantations while turning to the south, west, north, and east respectively.
Great beings of the Otherworld, please bless these runes with power and insight.
Ancestors and beloved dead, please bless these runes with power and insight.
Spirits of the land, please bless these runes with power and insight.
By my own strength and will, I bless these runes with power and insight.
Now I'm letting them soak in some sunlight. The moon is associated more with intuition and prophecy in neo-paganism, but I feel like I draw most of my strength from the sun, so I'm trying sunlight first.
I'm excited to see how my first reading goes!

The Hermit's Return
Descending with the dawn from his alpine hut, this reclusive goat’s return to town marks the beginning of solstice celebrations for the court of Winter.

Inspired by sunlight glistening off snowy boughs, the majesty of dawn in the mountains, and by the jewel-like fruit of evergreens.
Painted in watercolor, gouache, and colored pencil on 140lb Arches hot press paper. Accented with gold ink.
The artwork is framed in cream and gold.

This is Ophelia Belle, a Firbolg Circle of Dreams Druid im playing soon! Her story is that she would get dreams of the feywild (fey lost background) and decided to study it and become a practitioner of dreams to try and help however she can with it!
Tried to include some queer symbolism with a forget-me-not flower tattoo. She's a trans woman :]

“Hunt” part 2
Previous caption:
Rev is a spore Druid/urchin wood elf (my favorite kind of Druid) they have horns due to spending the last years of their life living in isolation away from civilization, adopting the likeness of goats and cervines in the heart of the forested mountains. Such is their love for these animals they decided to keep the horns and the singularly colored eyes (also, they miss the weight on their head when not wearing them) Decided to make them a genderless beast because, hear me out, a shapeshifter being connected to nature n’ living away from human costumes studying fungal behavior. What would a being like that need a damn gender for? Nothing, the answer is nothing.
Here is my art Instagram, I´m far more active there.
And do NOT use/repost my work without consent or credit, dammit.
