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!

Finished Siv's doodle and some refs for his wild shapes (i got a bit too lazy to properly color them ngl).

Backstory and stuff under cut!

So, first of, he usually wears a shirt or some resemblance of hide armor, but today was a tits-out kind of day. While I was working on this sketch I was able to think more about his backstory and why he is like... that.

He is a Blood Druid ("HB"), making his wild shapes turn into undead versions of the animals he is turning into, plus some other... fucked up stuff. Siv was supposed to be his family's next druidic leader; An amazonian-like very matriarchal type of Circle, but he started having doubts about all of that. Furthermore, he doesn't know why yet, but it seems like his connection to nature has been severed. At some point during his early adulthood, his druidic power started to act very, very wrong. Wild shapes turn into monstrosities and mixtures of various animals, ribcages and entrails ripped open and oozing blood and gore everywhere every time he transforms.

Siv eventually kinda fled under the excuse of searching for a cure or an explanation of what was going on with him; but in the time he spent away from the circle, fully transitioned. He feels extreme pressure about fixing whatever is wrong with him as soon as possible to resume his duties, but internally fears the rejection of this family once he comes back; and is overcompensating for the fear of being a family failure with BIG druid traditionalism and trying to force-fix the problem withing his powers with more magic and seals. Still no luck tho

Idk man, maybe if you fixed your whole relationship with your own gender your transformation magic will fix itself. Maybe
