Hellenistic Pagans: ornate glass chalices of wine, soft puffy clouds, prayers made at night wrapped in silk and candles

Norse Pagans: *banging pots together* C'mon grandpa I’m 5 cents away from enough money for waffle fries come in clutch here you blind bastard!

My experience talking to Freyja after being around Trickster Gods so much

[applestan]

I had gotten so used to my primary interaction with deities being with Loki that having Freyja be so direct is just throwing me off. Like wait? Is this a riddle? You’re just gonna give me straightforward answers? Really? Thank you but also wow

Having a low opinion of yourself is not modesty. It’s self-destruction.

Freyja, probably. (via incorrectedda)

Since I’ve been on vacation from my day job, I’ve been hella busy putting new items in the shop.

I’m trying to expand on candles, so I started working on deity inspired Mini Mason Jar candles. I figured I would start with some of the more popular deities that sell in the shop already. Loki, Freyja, Hel, and Thor are already up. I will hopefully be able to work on ones for Odin, Cernunnos, Artemis, Sekhmet, Cerridwen, and Bast over the new few days or so.

I’ll also be adding 4oz Tin Candles for things such as cleaning and protection soon as well

Paganism requires so much research and critical thinking, you guys. Most religions should require it, blindly following anything is a terrible idea, but the nature of something that’s so build-your-own and often practiced in solitude is that it’s going to require a lot of hard work. 

A writer not being on one of those “don’t touch with a ten-foot-pole” lists doesn’t guarantee that they’re right about everything. Read carefully, and read widely, not just in your tradition! 

Not even just within paganism! Read science! Read–don’t take willy-nilly, but read–from other faiths! Read about logic and how rhetoric functions! 

Read about medicine, and for the love of all the gods, don’t take medical advice, including mental health advice, from anybody who hasn’t been properly trained, especially if you’re putting materials in your body (herbs are drugs, charcoal absorbs everything, essential oils SHOULD NOT BE INGESTED)! FIND OUT WHAT PROPER TRAINING LOOKS LIKE! 

Just. Be hungry for information, and remember that healthy doubt is good for a spiritual life.

me: hey am i ever gonna have a general idea of what i wanna do with my life

the Gods: i mean you’re getting.... closer...

If your evening prayer is just a silent scream to the gods, releasing all your pent-up anxiety and rage, then you are valid

Did you know dandelions are nitrogen fixers that grow in abundance in places with nitrogen depleted soil, like in yards made up of invasive grasses HOAs force owners and tenants to grow. And dandelions feed bees, also could nourish us with high levels of calcium, iron, and some vitamins. Js.

Fucking Love Dandelions.

I am well aware that polytheism looks ridiculous from the outside; I would like to take this opportunity to assure everyone that it is way more ridiculous from the inside
