Every Friday we name a conscious choice and tag it #Freewill. Not the big cinematic ones, but the small ones that actually run a life. I'll go first. My week's been motherhood and math. My son is almost one, and like some of you, I'm raising him while making ends meet. This week that meant choosing which bills breathe and which ones wait. Choosing where to manage my time. Nobody claps for those choices. But they're choices, made on purpose, and that's what free will can look like some days. Hekate is the goddess of the crossroads. Most crossroads aren't dramatic, though — most are small forks nobody sees you standing at. She's there for those too. The quiet choice counts. 🔦 Torchlight For Today: "Freedom is the source from which all significations and all values spring." — Simone de Beauvoir, The Ethics of Ambiguity 👇 Tag your #Freewill: one conscious choice you made this week, big or small. Most likes and comments by Sunday wins a free Triple Crossroads Spread with me. (I have a small list of people I need to read for, but the readings will come.) En Erebos, Phos. In darkness, light. Blessings, and lots of love, Tirza 🌿🗝️🌙 #FreewillFridays #HekateanHealing #Freewill

The deck is shuffled and the crossroads are open. This is our one day a week for card readings, so if there's a question sitting in your chest, today's the day to let the Oracle speak to it. Now, readings! Hekate Enodia, She of the Way, has 60 doors in the Oracle of the Hekatean Path. One of them has your name on it. And on a day like today, the door She opens might not be the one you were heading toward. It'll be the one the road was bending you to. 🗝️ Drop a number from 1–60 in the comments. I'll shuffle and count to find the message She left at the wayside shrine for you. Then I'll pull a supporting card from the Witches Tarot to light the way forward— because She doesn't just show you the door. She hands you the torch. You don't have to share your question if it's private. Hold it in your mind as you choose, and trust the number that pulls at you. First come, first drawn. I'll work through the comments as they land today, in between my errands and Tuesday responsibilities. They may come in slow, but every reading will come. 🔦 Torchlight For Today: "Hekate met her, holding a torch in her hands… 'Swiftly I tell you all the truth.'" — the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, where Hekate comes to grieving Demeter with light and word of where her daughter has gone, the torch-bearer who meets you in the dark and tells you where the road went 👇 Drop your number. Let Her of the Way show you what the reroute has been bending you toward. En Erebos, Phos. In darkness, light.

It's here, loves, and it's yours to download, print, and carry into circle. The full Hekatean Strawberry Moon Esbat that I was working on all of yesterday— is now live here in the community as a printable PDF. This is the complete rite, start to close, built for the year's lowest, ripest moon: the first full moon of summer, the Mead Moon, the saffron Krokopeplos Moon, when Hekate's light bends close to the earth and walks the threshold between sky and land. It’s known locally as the Strawberry Moon, so I’ve honored the ancestors of the land here in Michigan with a strawberry offering. Inside the PDF: 🌙 The full ritual, opening to closing — casting, quarters, the works 🔑 Hekate Trimorphos at the center — three-formed, of the crossroads, key-bearer at the gate 🍓 A First-Fruit Offering working — name what's ripened in you since the dark, and set it on Her plate 🍯 Barley-and-honey cakes and wine, drawn straight from The Hekatean Kitchen (level 3 class) 📜 A land acknowledgment, a key-and-threshold Great Rite, and an opening you can adapt for solo OR coven Formatted clean so you can print it, mark it up, and bring it to the table. No fluff. No gatekeeping. Just a real, usable rite for your own grimoire. Love ya. 😉 ⏰ The Strawberry Moon peaked Monday, June 29 at 7:56 p.m. EDT — you’ve still got time to print, gather your cakes and wine, and prepare. Grab it now while the moon's full. 💬 Tell me below: 👇 are you working this one solo or with a coven this Strawberry Moon? And — if you're brave — what's ripened in you since the dark of the year? I'll be in the comments and working on the Tarot Tuesday post! 🌿 En Erebos, Phos. Love, Tirza 🌙🌿🖤

Happy Sunday, everyone! Hope you are having a wonderful day 🌞

The moon is 89% full and building in Scorpio. Three days from the peak. I can feel it, and I’ve been moon-gazing at night this week. The waxing gibbous in my own sign has a particular quality to it: everything gets louder, more clarified, more insistent. A lot moved, internally and externally. And inside all that movement were moments, probably quiet ones, where you chose your direction instead of just following the current. That's what I want you to name today. Not what happened to you. Not what you managed. Not what you survived. What did you ✨choose✨consciously, on purpose, even when it was uncomfortable? What did you say yes to that cost you something? What did you say no to that took more courage than the yes would have? Before you drop your answer, a heads up about what's coming: TONIGHT the Descent Video drops on YouTube at 7:00pm EST. Then, 🌕 June 29 — The Krokopeplos Moon. The Full Strawberry Moon. Krokopeplos — Saffron-Cloaked — is one of Hekate's ancient epithets, the color of dawn and initiation, the robe worn before the threshold-crossing. In ancient Greece, Iphigeneia wore saffron before her sacrifice. The color wasn't decorative. It was the mark of someone standing at the edge of one life and the beginning of another. The full moon on Sunday carries that same quality: what sacrifice bore the sweetness? What did you give up to get here? Also, ☿ June 29 — Mercury stations retrograde in Cancer! On the same night the moon goes full. Mercury retrograde in Cancer runs June 29 through July 23. Cancer governs home, emotional roots, ancestral patterns, the inner world. This is not the retrograde that scrambles your emails. This is the retrograde that calls up what you left unfinished in your own history. The past will call. Both of these land on Sunday into Monday. The Strawberry Moon and the backward messenger, on the same night, in the same sky. She is not subtle. 🔥‼️ In addition, I’m taking Saturday AND Sunday off from posting, but will be able to hop on and comment. I’ll be with family all weekend. Swimming! So, let’s keep the conversation going without big, official posts. Love you all. Thanks for supporting my rest. 😅
