Rosemary's Reveries ep.1: A Heartfelt Hello

 A Heartfelt Hello

Welcome. I greet you with open arms to this new space I've created. A place for me to post, catalog, and spread the things that I have learned and that I continue to learn in this life. 

I'll be 100% honest though; this blog is a new venture for me. I've never been one to sit and journal and my experiences, but I've come to realize over the last few years that life isn't about how much you have accomplished. It's about WHY and HOW you accomplished these things and how it benefits not only the self, but those things that are dear to us. From this I know that I want to catalog our journey and share our knowledge with the world.

The why and how has become an extremely important part of my life. Why makes me ask myself questions that I haven't previously thought of.

"Why do I want this?" 

To live a cleaner, greener, more natural life. Closer to the way our ancestors lived.

How makes me think critically.

"How does this benefit us or the dream "

Does this purchase of ANOTHER berry bush benefit us or hinder us? 

During my musings I found love to be my primary motivator: love of family, love of nature, love of community. We want to embark on this journey for and with love. 

Although love is my primary motivator, I would have less motivation without my faith. Norse Paganism, a belief in the old Scandinavian Gods and Goddesses, plays an extremely heavy roll in my husband's and I's dream of creating our homestead and farm. Together we found our already existing faith deepen in the Gods, and though we are newer to our faith, we trust our Gods and Ancestors to see us through this life. 

I know now that the path that we have chosen, in creating Sølvfelt Farm and to live a natural and Norse Pagan based life is the correct choice for us. Every day we take more steps towards our dream, and the image keeps becoming clearer. 

We welcome you to tag along with our journey and learn with us. May your life be filled with love, gardens, and magic. 

Gods watch over you, friend.

-Rosemary. 


 We find heaps of joy in the moments we get a sight of our natural neighbors. The buzzing bees spend much of their day here. Gorging on various flowers and drinking from the watering trays in the garden.

Norse Paganism at Sølvfelt Farm

       Norse Paganism is the belief in the old "Norse Gods". It is the religion that pre-dates the coming of Christianity. Since much of the source material and oral legends were lost; we rely on what few things were written, and the few oral legends that survived the spread of the Abrahamic religion. While much has been lost, there is still a massive resurgence of the old faiths since before the turn of the century. We will not claim to be experts, but we will always strive to stay true to ourselves and our ancestors. Norse Paganism is an open belief system and welcomes those who are drawn to it. We do not tolerate hate or bigotry in any shape or form. Nor do we condone appropriating from other cultures, which can be rampant online. We believe the world, can be healed and nurtured with love, compassion, Gods, and gardens.  In Our Life      My husband and I have only become more devoted followers of Norse Paganism in the last few years. ...

Living Soil and Soil Health

 The earth beneath you teams with life.      The ground under us is a vibrant thing. Especially if treated well and allowed to perform its natural cycles. It is also the foundation for life on this planet. Healthy soil is the key to both the flora, fauna, and humans, living a well-fed life. The living soil is home to an extraordinary number of things: animals, insects, fungi, bacteria, microbes, also the nutrients and minerals that make the biochemistry of life possible. A healthy home environment encourages growth, abundance, and love.

    For the Love of Making There is so much to see, learn, and craft in this life. Why not give it our all? That's what we think here at Solvfelt Farm. Join us on the path of homemade and handcrafted. Joy and sustainability await those who take up a craft. The Crafter/Maker's life is one of love, creativity, and passion. So, dive in and share your art, passion, and creativity with the community and world. Take The Plunge The first step is often the hardest one, but with bravery and support, we can all make wonderful things happen. Some of that anxiousness could stem from the sheer number of things you could start. A plethora of goods can be made at home, but I remind myself often that: "One person can only do so much" and try to stick to the things that bring joy, passion, and happiness. With knitting, crocheting, and sewing you can create garments, blankets, bags, hats, coats, and so much more. You can harness the beauty of local yarns, fibers...
