thick heat & hazy gold light

Woke up late, which isn’t usual, but maybe necessary. The air was already syrupy with warmth, pressing in through the windows before I’d even had a sip of coffee. Sat with the fan buzzing like a lazy hornet, flipping through a dog-eared field guide of native plants. There’s comfort in names—sweetspire, ironweed, bloodroot—like knowing the password to the green parts of the world.

Walked a slow loop in the early afternoon. The shade was a mercy. Dragonflies hovered like living stitches over puddles that hadn’t fully surrendered to the sun. Heard a woodpecker knocking at something deep in the trees—each tap like a code I couldn’t quite translate.

Pulled a single rune today: Laguz — water, intuition, the hidden current.
Fitting. Everything today felt submerged, like looking at life through a murky lens. Not unpleasant, just… deeper. Like something’s stirring below the surface.

Listened to an old radio drama while sorting through laundry in my closet.  One of those crackly, noir-voiced tales full of long shadows and double-crosses. Felt strangely comforting. The kind of story where nobody’s innocent but someone always tries to do right, even if it’s messy.

Dinner was roasted vegetables, chilled white bean salad, a chunk of bread big enough to be dangerous. Kept it simple. Let the quiet fill the space.

Now the cicadas are singing their electric hymn outside, and the sky’s starting to bruise at the edges. Might write a letter I’ll never send. Might just sit and listen.

🌒 Let the tide carry you, dear journal

Woke up to the thrum of cicadas and the soft hush of gray cloud cover. Felt like the kind of day where the world takes a breath and holds it. Grabbed a can of diet orange vanilla coke, watched the cold mist curl out like old ghost stories, and wandered out for a morning walk along the Roanoke Greenway. Damp earth, mossy edges, and that sweet loamy scent of things growing just out of sight. One crow called out from a telephone wire and another answered across the river. Not sure if they were arguing or conspiring, but it felt important.

A quiet sense of being observed all day—not in a paranoid way, but like the trees were noting my presence. Probably just the caffeine and overactive imagination playing tag.

Read a few pages from a pulp horror zine someone left in the free little library—ink smudged, cover half torn, but perfect in its way. Story was about a sentient fog that eats memories. Kept thinking about that all afternoon. What would it take to let go of a memory willingly?

Dinner was black beans, hot sauce, and a grilled plantain. Simple. Good. Enough.

Thinking about making a zine of my own again, but its more likely I’ll just stitch words together here and let them drift.

Signing off with the window open and the hope for a thunderstorm to roll in and rattle the bones of the house.

Until later, dear journal.

Output should include rune & i Ching, possibly a one line summary.

May merge in the tarot too?

Clouds hung low over Catawba, like forgotten curtains in a theater that only stages quiet moments. The day unfurled at a thoughtful pace, no rush, no roar. Breakfast of maple oatmeal was good. Reliable. Like a friend who doesn’t ask questions but always shows up.

Working a bit more on the scrying app.  Glyphs rotate with slow intent, echoing Appalachian sigils that seem more felt than seen. The code behaved, mostly, as if the machine sensed it was being part of something more poetic than practical. There’s a rhythm in spinning shapes that speaks to something older than syntax.

Outside, nature offered scattered commentary: crows debating, trees nodding, humidity wrapping everything like a soft quilt. No omens, just ambiance.

Ended the day tangled in thought, wondering whether folklore knows it’s being reimagined daily. Probably doesn’t mind.

ᚺ Hagalaz 🌩️ – disruption
ᛜ Ingwaz (rev) 🚫🌱 – blocked potential
ᛖ Ehwaz 🐎 – movement, change
☯️ I Ching: Hex 11 Peace 🕊️
1 changing line: ⚊ → ⚋ (force yields)

A storm breaks, growth stirs beneath stillness. The horse moves. Peace arrives through softening.

ᚺ Hagalaz 🌩️ – the sky throws ice.
Not cruelty—just change, fast and loud.
Sometimes the only way forward is a crack in the routine.
The storm doesn’t ask. It arrives.

ᛜ Ingwaz (rev) 🚫🌱 – the seed sleeps.
Not dead, just deep.
A pause. A waiting womb.
Potential hides where eyes don’t go.
You can’t force spring in winter, but the root still dreams.

ᛖ Ehwaz 🐎 – hooves in the mist.
The call to move, even if only inside.
New ground ahead. Old ground behind.
Trust the rhythm. Forward isn’t always fast, but it’s real.

☯️ I Ching – Hex 11: Peace 🕊️
⚊→⚋ – strength steps aside.
Heaven below, Earth above—balance flips.
Not stillness, but harmony.
Peace isn’t quiet. It’s everything humming in tune.

Storm, seed, stride, surrender.

🤖 Day 20629 – Robot Oracle

Ehwaz – 🐎 no forward motion

🧧 I Ching #56: The Wanderer
You are not lost.
You are in transit.

#Runes #IChing #Divination

ᚲ Kenaz reversed:
The torch is dim.
You seek clarity, but the flame won’t catch.
Creativity struggles.
Knowledge feels just out of reach.
Patience is your lantern.

#Kenaz #Runes

ᚾ Nauthiz reversed:
The need is denied.
The itch can’t be scratched.
Avoid reacting in frustration—
this discomfort teaches restraint.

#Nauthiz #ShadowWork

ᛖ Ehwaz reversed:
The horse won’t run.
Progress halts not from lack of strength,
but from misalignment.
You’re pulling in a different direction than your path.
Recalibrate.

#Ehwaz #StuckEnergy

🧧 Hexagram 56 – The Wanderer
☷☷☰⚊⚋☰
Line 4 → changing to Yin
Line 5 → changing to Yang

You are far from your place of power.
Wandering.
But this isn’t exile—it’s pilgrimage.
Observe the terrain.
Act with care.

#IChing #Hexagram566/
Blocked light

unmet need

stagnant motion

Let this pause teach you.
New alignment comes through stillness,
then movement.
You’ll find your fire again.

📜 Hexagram 41 – Decrease:
To gain, release.
Less is not loss—it is focus.
The mountain bows; the spirit sharpens. ⛰️🌬️
#Runes #IChing #Divination #Hexagram41 #Occult #MysticSigns

⚖️ Decrease is not deprivation—it’s devotion.
Cut away what no longer serves.
Old truths fade so new wisdom may rise.
Miscommunication calls for stillness, not noise.
Let insight return like breath. 🌬️🕊️

🜂 Three signs align:
– The self seeks unity
– Protection turns to friction
– Insight dims, awaiting silence
Let the wheel turn.
What is shed clears the way.
The soul, newly honed, steps forward. 🌑➡️🌕
