Adam. 31. mixed native/white. Heathen, though largely Rokkatru-centric. I first began my journey with norse paganism in 2011. Currently studying: principles from Brading Sweetgrass and it's application to land spirits in heathenry.

I've got two Mari Lwyd drawings for you this year that were half finished for a few years. This is the one I started in 2022. I will probably print her as a seasons greetings card for next year.. and add glitter.

I am 32 years old today and that's just bonkers. Which just means that my mom is reliving trauma from my birth and me nearly dying after birth a few times and crying about it.

I’ve seen numerous of people saying that there are beginner deities and hard deities. Here’s the thing: do not allow people to stop you from working with deities. You are allowed to work with any deities you wish, and there is no such thing as certain level deities.

Everyone should experience a Krampus festival at least once in their lifetime

[emily84]

near my hometown (up north in the eastern julian alps) they do it every 1st of december (as opposed to st. nicholas) and after the parade they infamously chase "bad kids" (mostly local teenagers) with sticks and whips and make them kneel to say their prayers until they can't touch them anymore (and St. Nick calls the krampus back to him and they leave, as is tradition).

this is the tame version of what used to happen in my grandparents' time when they would come into your house, wake you up and and "kidnap" you to drag you to the village procession. literally when you were a little kid, with the full consent of your parents, and terrorize you just enough that your parents could lord it over you when you did something bad "the krampus are going to take you away".

[the-entangler]

@coloursoflovelustlife:

"These are rather "Perchten" not "Krampus", because of what they wear and because they don't have St. Nicholas with them. And yes, agree, such a show is worth seeing."
