Deity of the Week - Vídarr
“The silent god” the avenger of Odin, killing Fenrir during Ragnarök. The virtues or domains of patience, honour, and just vengeance have been ascribed to him.
Offer leather, particularly from shoes, as he has a shoe extra thick from discarded scraps.

What are you saving for?
You’re saving for a rainy day; have a think about what that looks like. Don’t sacrifice joy in the present out of fear. Find a balance between security and joy!
If you Picked 2 - Five of Wands
Chaos.
There any many voices, and paths before you. This can feel chaotic, and lead to inaction. But, chaos can be generative; giving you ideas for now or the future; focus on what you want to achieve now, and how you want to achieve it, and leave the rest for later!
If you Picked 1 - Ace of Swords

Wednesday Witch Tips - Effort not Perfection
Whatever you are doing it is the effort put in and offered up that matters more than perfection. When something goes not-to-plan in spell or ritual, keep the flow going; fix what needs fixing if possible, but keep the energy moving.

The tension between folk and written memory!
We will probably never know more about this almost lost deity. But if you are local to, or visiting, Godmanchester, or the Great Ouse; spare a thought or an offering for him. Let him not be forgotten, and his name spoken again.

Deity of the Week-Abandinus
A Brittonic god known from a single inscription. Probably a local deity to modern Godmanchester where a bronze feather with his name was found. There are three theories of his domain based on his name:
He who sings
He who binds
Andinus of the river

Wednesday Witchy Musings - Spring Equinox
My observance of the Spring Equinox is generally small. Tending my waking garden, and a special meal of different kinds of eggs (including a chocolate one for pudding) then
preparing the eggshells to be used in spells for growth and protection.
