Frigg and Her Sovereign Council

Submitted by Astrid on Monday, June 1, 2026 11:24 AM

Image by Midjourney.com Today, many of us enter justice spaces already feeling drained, burdened by grief over what we’ve witnessed, frustrated by ongoing injustices, worried for ourselves and our loved ones, and carrying a quiet, persistent sense of overwhelm. None of this indicates failure. It’s a natural and understandable response to a world where harm Read More…

Did H.P. Lovecraft Witness An Alien Autopsy?

Submitted by Uncle Creepy on Monday, June 1, 2026 9:27 AM

Did H.P. Lovecraft witness an alien autopsy? I cannot tell you how happy I am to type that sentence. It’s an absolutely insane question even to pose, but it brings together two things I love: horror master H.P. Lovecraft and UFOs. And some people think the answer is “Yes!” As many people know, Howard Phillips Read More…

COLLECTIVE READINGS

Today’s Runemal and Lunar Right Action Aspects, Today’s Planetary Algorithm, and Morals and Missives are posted daily and cover general collective readings suitable for all.

~TODAY’S RUNEMAL~

The Runes constitute one of the most ancient forms and means of divination. Used in concert with the daily nature of the Moon, the Ancients discovered the perfect guide for personal conduct and timely action.

~June 1, 2026~

ALGIZ

KEYWORDS: HEARTINESS, VALOR, CONFIDENCE

Virtues: Endeavor, Strength

Daily Theme: ALGIZ is known as the Rune of PROTECTION. How well do you control your emotions? Today’s’ influences may bring high and lows so it is imperative that you maintain emotional balance while facing challenges. As a Spiritual Warrior you are well aware that your greatest battle is with your Self so remain aware that right conduct action and correct conduct are your best protections. Be mindful of your health today and do not let others use you for their own benefit or try to foist their burdens upon you. You alone are responsible for what you allow. The benefits of protection are always found in emotional control. If you find yourself experiencing a period of difficulty which is painful, be honest and stick with the experience. As you work through the issue, look around and evaluate what your part in creating the discomfort truly is. Are you shooting yourself in the foot without realizing it? Watch for new interests, but use your good judgment when pursuing them.

Today, crystal practitioners and advocates should work with Amethyst (balances, eliminates impatience, anxiety and trepidation, dispels negative influences and attachments).

Lunar Right Action Aspects: Try some understanding today as you cannot force rationality. “Impossible people” can drive you into anger so avoid over-reaction by taking a step back and reassessing situations. Breakthroughs can still be achieved even if under pressure.

MORALS AND MISSIVES

Advice From La Strega …

It is wise to acknowledge that the Earth does not belong to us, we belong to the Earth. To say otherwise is ego and not wisdom. The goal of life is to live in harmony with nature. If you look deeply into nature, you will gain an understanding of everything that exists. If you can adopt the pace of nature, you will find her secret is patience. With patience you can accomplish all. If your life is not working – change it. How? Focus on what IS working. What nurtures you? What small thing gives you joy? Don’t tell me it’s nothing. Don’t tell me you no longer care. When you do that, it lets me know you are lazy and have allowed yourself to slip into a toxic space. Examine it. You have a choice. You have always had a choice – To do or not do – To accept or reject. Why are you accepting what is dark within you and without you and denying what is light and fresh? It is time to align. Only you know what that is. Push out from the inner you. Stop moaning and bitching. Change what can be changed, work with what cannot. What do you want to learn? What do you want to share? What do you want in your spiritual practices? When and how do you connect with your others? Seek the balance even if you have been leaning heavily in one direction for a while. Care for your body as well as your mind and spirit. Let your inner self express itself. As the expression goes, ‘dance as if no one was looking’. Learn to read signs and omens in nature. There is magic within them. There is magic within you. Use it.

NATURE’S DAILY CHOICE

WILDFLOWERS

Wildflowers represent resilience. Their ability to thrive in challenging conditions symbolizes resilience and the enduring power of life. Some interpret wildflowers as a testament to divine care and provision, illustrating how things can flourish without human intervention. This can be seen as a reminder to trust in the larger forces at play and to let go of worries, as the wildflower simply lives in trust. Wildflowers are a testament to nature’s adaptability and endurance. They bloom where they are sown, often in the most unexpected places, reminding us of the potential for beauty and growth in every situation. Historically, wildflowers have been used in folklore and medicine, further enhancing their symbolic significance. They are a reminder of our connection to the natural world and its inherent wisdom. Wildflowers also symbolize spontaneity and the joy of life, freedom and independence reminding us to appreciate the beauty in every moment. he beauty and spontaneity of wildflowers often symbolize a sense of freedom and unexpected happiness in life so look for joyful encounters. You may be about to face new opportunities and should remain optimistic and prepared for what lies ahead. From a spiritual perspective, all flowers are symbols of love and compassion. They embody the nurturing and empathetic aspects of the human experience.

CONTEMPLATION STATION
With Tom Montalk

External Effects of Thoughts and Feelings

It may seem incredible, but every day your thoughts and feelings shape what happens to you. The world you experience reflects back what is going on inside your own head and heart. People who are always complaining attract more things to complain about. People who are always stressed attract stressful situations. People who are always angry attract angering experiences. If you start your day with a bad attitude, you might just end up having a bad day. But if you start the day with a good attitude, more often than not you will have a good day. People who have a positive mindset—maybe because they see the good in others, appreciate the beauty around them, have hope for the future, and try to make the best out of all situations will attract more experiences to feel good about. You might wonder why thoughts and feelings inside us influence what happens outside us. The short answer is that reality is one big dream we are all sharing, a dream created by all of our minds together. In your nightly dreams, it is your mind creating everything you experience, and what affects your mind affects the dream. Likewise, the thoughts and feelings you have while awake influence the part of reality that your mind is continuously creating. The world revolves around you, but it also revolves around every other living being. Think of yourself as a radio and your thoughts and feelings as the tuning mechanism. Frequency is how fast something vibrates, and the energy coming out of a radio tower is vibrating at a certain rate. Each radio station broadcasts on its own frequency. As you change the dial, the radio becomes sensitive to a different frequency and therefore tunes into a different station. Your mind, etheric, and astral bodies tune you into different “stations” of experience. When you are wallowing in negative thoughts and feelings, you are sensitive to low frequencies and tune into a station “playing” that kind of experience. But when you shift your frequency to something more positive and aware, the station changes toward experiences that are also more positive. When you become aware of some possibility, you shine upon it the spotlight of your awareness. This singles it out, makes it freeze in its tracks, and puts it in your hands to deal with. Notice how trouble happens when you least expect it, and when you learn to expect it next time it fails to happen again. This shows that anticipating negative possibilities prevents them from manifesting and that being unaware allows them to happen more easily. The same goes for positive possibilities—maybe you are certain you aced a test only to find out you barely passed, or maybe you win a prize from a contest only when you have forgotten all about it or never thought you might win. Anticipating something decreases its chances of manifesting. So learn to become aware of possible problems in order to freeze them, while avoiding anticipating the positive things. Ahead of you in time is a constantly shifting spread of probable futures. These are possible experiences yet to occur. Most probable futures are not set in stone because your thoughts, feelings, and choices continually affect their likelihood; a change you make now can change which of these is most likely to happen next. As long as the future stays open like this, you can use thoughts and feelings to shape them. But as soon as a future becomes absolutely certain, then you must deal with it through preparation and action. So there are two ways of handling experiences: by shaping them before they are certain, and by dealing with them directly once they become unavoidable.

PEOPLE ETHICS

As people in this world, and good citizens, we are concerned not only with what actions are morally right and morally wrong, but what makes actions morally right or morally wrong. The key is to understand the reasoning that we employ in ethical decision making so we can become more proficient.

What Makes a Person Ethical?

Moral Principles: Ethical individuals adhere to a code of conduct that guides them in deciding what is right and wrong.

Beyond Self-Interest: Ethical thinking goes beyond personal desires to consider the interests of other people, communities, and even society as a whole.

Character and Habits: Being an ethical person requires developing good character, including consistent habits of behavior.

Integrity and Accountability: Ethical people are dependable, keep their promises, and take responsibility for their actions.

Decision-Making: They make choices that uphold moral standards, even in difficult or potentially compromising situations.

Ethical frameworks are perspectives useful for reasoning what course of action may provide the most moral outcome. In many cases, a person may not use a reasoning process but rather do what they simply feel is best at the time. Others may reflexively use a principle they learned from their family, peers, religious teachings or own experiences. The study of ethics has provided many principles that can aid in ethical decision making.

Virtue ethics: What is moral is what makes us the best person we could be.
Deontology: What is moral is what follows from absolute moral duties.
Utilitarianism: What is morally right is what generates the best outcome for the largest number of people.
Rights-based Ethics : What is moral is that which is in accord with everyone’s rights.
Care-based Ethics : What is moral is that which promotes healthy relationships and the well-being of individuals and their interdependence.

ONE SONG

by RUMI

Every war and every conflict
between human beings has happened
because of some disagreement about names.

It is such an unnecessary foolishness,
because just beyond the arguing
there is a long table of companionship
set and waiting for us to sit down.

What is praised is one, so the praise is one too,
many jugs being poured into a huge basin.
All religions, all this singing, one song.

The differences are just illusion and vanity.
Sunlight looks a little different
on this wall than it does on that wall
and a lot different on this other one,
but it is still the same light.

We have borrowed these clothes,
these time-and-space personalities,
from a light, and when we praise,
we are pouring them back in.

Translation by Coleman Barks

Numerical Connotations

What’s in a number? The Ancients believed numbers were universally connected. Scientifically, the universe is described by fundamental constants and numbers. The number for the Universe is 42. What unlocks the key to the Universe? According to Nikola Tesla, 3, 6, and 9 unlock the secrets of the Universe. He believed these digits were sacred and could unlock the mysteries of existence itself.

Numbers found their way into the meanings of old texts and even the Bible. Everyone and everything have a number or numbers associated with their lives as can be discovered through Gematria and/or Numerology in contemporary times. There isn’t a single universally agreed-upon “most divine number,” as different cultures, religions, and belief systems ascribe varying degrees of significance to different numbers. However, some numbers, like 7, 108, and 18, are often associated with divinity or sacredness in various traditions. An intriguing aspect of the number 8 is its deep connection to karma—the universal law of cause and effect. In numerology, 8 is often seen as the number of karmic justices, where actions (good or bad) come back to you in equal measure.

Did you know that many believe the number of God is 7? In numerology, master numbers 11, 22, and 33 are considered powerful and spiritually significant, often associated with heightened intuition, vision, and the potential for great achievement or service. They have both positive and negative attributes. Triple Master numbers in numerology refer to completeness, perfection, totality. The Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is 777. Adversely, the Unholy Trinity that apes God is 666. In some Christian numerology, the number 888 is believed to represent Jesus or Christ the Redeemer. 555 is often interpreted as a message of spiritual awakening, transformation, or a call to action, suggesting that significant changes and positive outcomes are on the horizon. 444 symbolizes divine order, stability, God’s sovereignty, and angelic presence or guidance, encouraging trust in God and seeking spiritual guidance. 333 is believed to be connected to angelics and for some Ascended Masters and encourages you to set plans into action and let your personal strength be the guide; to trust yourself and put thought into your choices. 222 is often seen as a sign of balance, harmony, and the encouragement to trust your intuition and the universe, particularly in matters of relationships and new beginnings. 111 is often interpreted as a sign of new beginnings, a call to action, and a message of alignment with your higher self and spiritual purpose, encouraging you to trust the universe and your intuition.

Shamans and shamanic traditions often incorporate numbers and numerology, with specific numbers and patterns holding symbolic or spiritual significance, especially in certain cultures and traditions. In shamanism and Native American spirituality, the number 4 is considered sacred, representing the four directions, seasons, elements, and stages of spiritual evolution. Certain number sequences, like 111, are seen as messages from the spiritual realm, signifying alignment and the connection between the physical and spiritual realms The number 108 is considered sacred in Dharmic religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism.

It must be remembered Numbers bring wonder, amazement and enlightenment. Those who study mathematics at the highest level are somehow compelled to confront the spiritual energies.
