In Norse belief, a fylgja (Old Norse: fylgja, “to accompany”) is a spirit that follows a person throughout their life. It can appear in dreams, visions, or moments of heightened awareness.

The fylgja is often seen as:

An animal form reflecting your nature (wolf, bear, fox, deer, etc).

A feminine spirit tied to luck, fate, or ancestral power.

A being that embodies both your hamingja (personal fortune) and your inner self.

A fylgja is not just a “spirit guide” in modern terms - it is deeply linked to your soul and destiny. To see your fylgja was considered a powerful omen.

How to Connect with Your Fylgja

There’s no one fixed method, but these practices are common:

Dreamwork: Keep a journal; many people first meet their fylgja in dreams.

Meditation / Journeying: Visualize yourself entering a liminal space (a forest, crossroads, cave). Invite the spirit that follows you to show itself.

Offerings & Respect: Treat your fylgja as you would an honoured guest - through offerings of food, incense, or time spent in nature.

Patterns in Life: Notice recurring animals, symbols, or encounters that feel significant - these may be your fylgja trying to make itself known.

A note of caution: traditional sources also mention that seeing your fylgja outside of dreams (in waking life) could foreshadow death. In modern practice, many people approach this with a more symbolic interpretation - as a sign of deep transformation or change.

Honouring the Goddess of Magic, Crossroads & the Moon

The 16th of November, marks Hekate’s Day — a time to honour the Torchbearer, the Keeper of Keys, and the Goddess who walks between worlds.

Hekate is the ancient Greek goddess of magic, witchcraft, crossroads, spirits, and liminal spaces. She is the one who lights the path in darkness — guiding souls, guarding thresholds, and standing beside those who walk the unseen roads.

Her symbols — torches, keys, serpents, and dogs — remind us of protection, transformation, and wisdom born from shadow.

🌙A Simple Hekate Blessing🌙

Hold a candle or key and speak softly:

“Hekate of the Crossroads, Guide me through shadow and light. Grant me wisdom to choose my path, And courage to walk it with grace.”

Blessed be, Wren 🌙

🌿✨ Wealth & Prosperity Bowl ✨🌿

I put together a new Wealth and Prosperity bowl today, and I thought I’d share what I used, how I put it together, and some alternatives in case you want to make your own!

For mine, I used;

A bowl passed down from my partner’s grandmother (she was wonderful with her finances, so it felt right to honour her energy).

A few coins for material wealth.

Himalayan pink salt (because I’m a little extra).

Cinnamon for prosperity and protection.

The words Wealth and Prosperity written in green ink.

A green candle for growth and abundance.

A pentacle charm for balance and protection.

Two clover charms for luck.

Clear quartz tumbles and chips for clarity.

Green aventurine tumbles and chips for prosperity and opportunity.

I cleansed everything with dragon’s blood incense before putting it together, and then layered the items into the bowl with intention. I only used a pinch of salt - just enough to give it some extra umph - but you don’t need salt at all if you don’t feel called to use it.

✨ Alternatives you can use instead (or alongside!) ✨

Uncooked rice – abundance and a stable foundation.

Pyrite or Citrine – wealth, positive energy, and confidence.

Thyme – prosperity, good luck, and strength.

A bay leaf with your intention written on it.

Remember; Magick is about intention. You don’t need to make it fancy or expensive. Use what you already have on hand. It’s the energy you put into it that makes it powerful.

To activate your bowl;

Light your candle.

Meditate on your intentions while it burns.

Recite a mantra, repeat affirmations, or simply visualise your financial goals coming true.

To maintain your bowl; I personally refresh mine monthly, but you can follow whatever schedule feels right. When it’s time, remove everything, cleanse it all, and then rebuild your bowl with fresh energy. You can also add new items if you feel called to. Once it’s set, place it back in your home where it feels most aligned.

🌟 May your bowl bring abundance, prosperity, and a steady flow of blessings into your life. 🌟

Blessed be, Wren 🌙

The runes are more than just letters. In the Norse world, they are symbols of power, mystery, and fate - carved not only to write, but to shape reality.

🌿 Origins 🌿

According to myth, Odin hung upon Yggdrasil, pierced by his spear, for nine nights. In this act of sacrifice, he won the runes - bringing their wisdom back to humankind. (Hávamál, stanzas 138–139).

The runes we most often work with today come from the Elder Futhark (24 symbols). Each rune has:

A phonetic sound (like a letter).

A name and symbolic meaning.

Magical uses in divination, protection, or spells.

Examples:

ᚠ Fehu - cattle, wealth, prosperity, beginnings.

ᚢ Uruz - wild ox, strength, raw power, health.

ᚦ Thurisaz - giant, thorn, danger, protective force.

ᚨ Ansuz - god, communication, wisdom, Odin’s breath.

✨How to Work with Runes✨

Divination: Cast rune stones, draw them from a pouch, or meditate on a single symbol.

Meditation / Focus: Sit with one rune, chant its name, visualize it glowing before you.

Magic / Bindrunes: Combine runes into unique sigils for specific intentions.

Daily Pull: Draw one rune each morning for guidance.

🔨Making Your Own Runes🔨

Traditionally, runes are carved into wood, stone, or bone. Making your own set can deepen your connection:

Choose a material that resonates with you (oak, ash, river stones, deer bone).

Carve or burn each rune carefully, speaking its name aloud.

Stain with natural pigment (red ochre, berry juice).

Consecrate them - hold them, breathe over them, and dedicate them to your practice.

🜇 Gods & Runes

Some runes resonate strongly with specific deities:

ᚨ Ansuz → Odin (wisdom, speech, inspiration).

ᚹ Wunjo → Freyr/Freyja (joy, harmony, love).

ᚦ Thurisaz → Thor (giants, thunder, protective power).

ᛉ Algiz → Heimdall (protection, guardian of the Bifröst).

ᛏ Tiwaz → Tyr (justice, honor, sacrifice).

ᚾ Nauthiz → Nornir (necessity, fate, hardship).

Not every rune has a one-to-one god link - sometimes they connect more with forces of nature, fate, or human experience.
