Foraged Fairy Ladder/Trellis

It’s the season of fairies, and nothing delights the inner child more than playing with the woodland spirits.

This one is so easy, it’s almost self-explanatory.

Literally:  Glue some sticks together.  Yup.  That’s it.  I used hot glue for the one above.

If you want to get fancy, add little bits of (affiliate link —–>) sheet moss to get that aged-in-the-garden feel.

You can even train roses or herbs to grow on it.

Let’s Have Some Fun with a Contest – Prize is a 5-Card Animal Spirit or Helper Reading

Who remembers the name of these cartoon characters below from Saturday morning cartoons? Please only put the charter’s initials so you do not give their names away to others. 

In my house as a child the only time I got to eat a meal while sitting in front of the television was my breakfast on Saturday morning as long as my mom did not consider it messy. So, I think I ate cereal or toast with peanut butter on it every Saturday for most of my young childhood. After my dad crossed in 1970 I did not watch cartoons as much on Saturday mornings because whether he was at home or work, he drove an ambulance for what is now a large company in Illinois, providing he was not out on a call. I remember these times as some of the best in my childhood!

Who remembers the name of these cartoon characters below from Saturday morning cartoons? Please only put the charter’s initials so you do not give their names away to others. 

This cartoon was mine and my dad’s all-time favorites!

I watch reruns of both of these and other cartoons from my childhood any time I can. I will try to find pictures of the characters for coloring.

Let’s really let our inner child out to play and have some non-grown-up fun this weekend!

Prize for the right answers for both pictures wins a 5 card Animal Spirit Guide or Helper reading FREE! This reading is for the 5 elements, Air, Fire, Water, Earth, and Spirit, that are inside all of us. All entries must be in the comment section below. REMEBER INTIALS ONLY OF THE NAMES. Anyone putting the full name of the characters will be disqualified from the contest and your comment removed. If I like your comment and say “email me” in a reply to your comment, it means you win a reading. Please put 3 dates and times that would work for you on or after Saturday, July 8, 2023 for your free reading, and I will pick the one that fits into my schedule the best.

Contest ends on Tuesday, July 4, 2023, and the post will be removed around 8:00 PM CDT on this date. Your reading can be scheduled starting on Saturday, July 8, 2023.

Good luck and have some fun!

A
Tall and straight as the ash tree grows
all the things that Athena knows
Smooth and sharp as an athame blade
All the color of an autumn glade

B
Fires at Beltane jumping high
Watch the bees buzzing by
A silver bell ringing bright
A besom sweep makes it right

C
Stir a cauldron round and round
Cast a circle on the ground
Catch a crystal in your hand
Light a candle if you canD
A raven dips and dives in the dark
Demeter makes things grow in the park
Dragon dozing in his lair
Dance with delight, do as you dare
Little Pagan Acorns

In the early east, an eagle flies
In an elder elm, her one egg lies

Embrace them all, open each door

F
Flight and a feather, often together
Fish and fin, go for a swim
Light a fire, flames grow higher
Find a fox, on nature walks
G
The God and Goddess are all around
From sky above to grass on the ground
Grab a goblet, give a toast
Visit a grave to honor the ghost
H
Horus hears as a hawk flies high
Hemlock hills are rolling by
Share some happiness with a hug
Sit on Hestia’s warm hearth rug
Little Pagan Acorns
I
Isis whispers in the night
Is there incense left to light?
Sprites and imps will skip around
Inner spirit can be found
J
Catch a firefly in a jelly jar
Jump for joy when you see that star

Join your hands under the moon

I like when Magick is in the air
When kids get kisses in their hair

Together like a lock and key

Love at Litha lets flowers bloom
A little laughter lifts a room
Loki plays a silly joke
Light a lamp and blow the smoke
Little Pagan Acorns
M
The Morrigan smiles under May’s moon

Maiden, mother and then the crone
Making mischief all alone
N
Pine needles in the wood
Nearby nests sit snug and good
Notice knots, they hold in power
Midnight nears, that’s the hour
O
Osiris has two but Odin only one
Color eggs at Ostara, that’s always fun
Only in the Otherworld do goblins stroll
Don’t get confused, a goblin’s not a troll
P
Poseidon likes to play in the deep
A pile of puppies makes a cute heap
The pentacle protects sacred space
Pansies and petunias have a pretty face
Little Pagan Acorns
Q
Porcupine has quills, arrows in a quiver
Quite cold in winter, quick to shiver
Call the quarters, salute the Queen
Ask the question that is never seen
R
Relax when you are reading runes
A raven calls out raucous tunes
Write a ritual for Friday morn
That red rose may have a thorn
S
Basking in the solstice sun
Warming like a sticky bun
Smudging sage smells so sweet
Slithering snakes have no feet
T
Teas and tinctures, talismans galore
Thoth likes books more than Thor
Water trickles down the stream
Try some Tarot. What does it mean?
Little Pagan Acorns
U
Ugly umbrellas raised up high
Thunder rumbles in the sky
Venus on a unicorn
Out of bubbles, she was born
V
Nike votes for victory
Volcanoes and Pele over the sea
Valkyries to Valhalla fly
Vanilla for love, give it a try
W
Make a wish on a western wind
With a wand, wild women grinned
Witches, Wiccans, warlocks too
In the winter, owls ask who
X
A pixie relaxes in the wood
Jinxes and hexes are never good
With equinox, the days are split
With waxing moon, the sky is lit
Little Pagan Acorns
Y
Both holly and yew are right for Yule
You’ll find nymphs by yonder pool
Yarrow and tansy in a vase
Sitting on some yellow lace
Z
Zeus in a fez, do what he says
Zebras in zoos, time for a snooze
Wander the maze, the ancient ways
Need for some zen? Just say when
