Hey Y'all What is the largest animal you have given for Blot? Is there any certain form to follow? Do you prep the animals any certain way? We are going to...
... We blot swine twice a year. There are a few pictures on the New Anglia Theod website. My first question would be have you blotted livestock before? How do...
If you have some time could please email me off list? My UPG is that Odhinn and Frigga and the Aesir/Vanir have asked for them. BIG sacrifice as I have grown...

thanks for the link.... This could be a good thing for us all...but I enroll cautiously as they used such terms as "European shamanism".... the only TRUE...
It's hard to say, the general rule is 4-6 sheep per acre. Of course, that depends on how good your pasture land is, what type of sheep (primitive breeds are...
Heilsa, I would respectfully beg to differ with you on this. Now, there is a Siberian form of shamanism, and the term is most frequently used to describe...
I have read Eliade's work, as well as the works of many many others, as well as cultural works..... And also, I am on several shaman group lists,a nd in ...
p.s. Again, I don't want to come off as disrespectful, Chris. I just think that this is a debate over a term rather than an idea. Some would make a the...
Cat, At some point you should get up to Ravenstead to see our set up. We'll make arrangements off list.....If you had come to Ostara, you would have already...
Interesting magazine. Anybody know who these people are? They say they are from Portland, Oregon, and I spent some time in Portland a few years ago (my...

Thanks, Cody. I appreciate your word, whether biased or not. Now that I think of it, I think I remember some of their names from a Heathen art exhibit that...
Here are some links on the thermohaline effect shutting down, abrupt climate change and the ice age as well as some facts on super volcanoes. Is anyone else...
Hi! We have 3 more lambs as of 9:45pm today!!!! One mom just had a baby...we are hoping she has another. So, between yesterday & today we have 5 babies! They...
Hail! Last weekend, my husband gave me a set of drop spindles and some fiber for my birthday. (He also got some plans to build me a saxony-style spinning...
Oh yeah, me too! The only local yarn shop doesn't know anyone who spins. I m already to go, if I could figure out how to do it. ^^^Minerva Ravenwing^^^ ...
There is a reason they are called "drop" spindles.....:) I finally gave it up and went with a wheel. Lynda ************************************** See what's...
If it drops there is not enough twist in the yarn. I will always believe it is best to learn on a drop spindle before using a wheel. Debbie Bennett Feral Fibre...
We know how, but it's so hard to try explaining. It's much easier to show someone in person. We like to call it 'carpal tunnel on a stick', since it's so...
I'll try to help... Top whorl spindles are for finer yarn - they spin faster and longer. Choose a bottom whorl spindle for learning. Merino and angora are both...
Yah, she made me learn how to spin on a drop spindle... heeh I now have a wheel... =) and, she is right. It is best to learn on a spindle, because now I am a...
Hi, I was actually joking. :) I learned on a drop spindle too and it was the most frustruating experience. However, once I switched over to a nicer fiber ...
Here's an interesting article someone just posted on the Small & Beginner Farmers of NH list... Yet another reason for me to hate cellphones. ~Lily *Are mobile...
It's very far-fetched to think that cellphones are responsible for the disappearance of bees. The diminishing already started in the early 80s while there...
Congrats!!! Judy ... baby...we are hoping she has another. ... beautiful. Jon took some great photos for our site - we'll let everyone know when it's updated....
... I refer to my drop spindle as my "thrown spindle" or my "expensive cat toy". I also gave up and went to a wheel. :) It's much easier to have someone show...
