One needs to know not only what they are asking, but whom they are asking it of. 🤔

Tyr's-daeg musing:

Tyr is resilience, creative problem-solving, persistence.
All those things we need to survive, on the daily.

Tjärved {tarwood} smoke wands used in Trolldom, Nordic folk magic tradition. Tjärved, sometimes called “poor people’s candles,” are traditionally used as cleansing tools to clear and drive off curses, unwanted spells, and spirits. These wands carry a gorgeous resinous pine scent.

An excellent alternative to palo santo and white sage! 100% sustainable, harvested from naturally felled trees, not a bi-product of the forestry industry. When a pine branch dies, it sends potent resins to branches to help preserve and protect it. These branches become tjärved; they light quickly, are long burning, and smell beautiful. Using the elements of fire and smoke are powerful for cleansing, and we are thrilled to bring this traditional tool to our clients. Smoke yourself, your home, your clients, and objects. Use them whole or easily split them into smaller pieces.

Ah to be alive
on a mid-September morn
fording a stream
barefoot, pants rolled up,
holding boots, pack on,
sunshine, ice in the shallows,
northern rockies.

Rustle and shimmer of icy creek waters
stones turn underfoot, small and hard as toes
cold nose dripping
singing inside
creek music, heart music,
smell of sun on gravel.

I pledge allegiance

I pledge allegiance to the soil
of Turtle Island,
and to the beings who thereon dwell
one ecosystem
in diversity
under the sun
With joyful interpenetration for all.
