Sigils for the LGBTQUIA community

The Orlando shooting affected us all and here in the @nachoaveragepagans chat we decided to make some sigils to aid in healing, protection, and justice. You can use all of them or some or one, depending on your needs and aims.

This is a protection sigil for LGBTQUIA folk, made by @druidpixie.

This is a sigil for healing for the LGBTQUIA community, made by Mystic Mars.

For justice, we decided that @problemglyphs‘s Hex of Obsolescence was proper because it was created in response to a trans person’s need for the ideas of those oppressing them to not outlive them. Right now the voices and ideas of bigots are crescendoing and threatening to wipe us out. Making them not matter, making their ideas never take root, making their voices fall on deaf ears: that’s a very valuable magical measure right now. Anyway, I linked to it so you can use it for this purpose if you want.

Then there’s this sigil that I made ( @da-at-ass ) which uses/charges/calls upon all three at once, if you want to pull them all together and do some combo work:

Use them as you need to and stay safe, find happiness, heal.

White pagans are responsible to engage with & educate other white pagans who are bringing racism into pagan communities, whether it’s cultural appropriation or actual Nazism. Pass it on.

The voice of the sea is seductive; never ceasing, whispering, clamoring, murmuring, inviting the soul to wander for a spell in abysses of solitude; to lose itself in mazes of inward contemplation.

Valhalla (and Folkvangr) are for warriors killed in battle (some believe this extends to warriors killed in other heroic ways). Everyone else, suicides included, go to Helheim or haunt a barrow, which isn't nearly as bad as one might think if one is steeped in a Christian paradigm. All this is Norse, though, and the Hellenics have their own, entirely different, system.

The rules aren’t always so clear cut. Freyja also apparently takes unmarried women (including suicides). People who drown go to Ran’s hall. I think there’s also some evidence for reincarnation. One guy was just like “When I die I’m going to go live in a mountain with my ancestors!” And the afterlife isn’t just for Heathens either, there’s at least one reference to a Christian king going to Valhalla, and apparently it’s also possible to cheat and get someone to mortally wound you on your deathbed and apparently it “counts” as a death in battle. Afterlife beliefs also varied widely depending on time and place. It’s entirely possible there are a bunch of other potential afterlives, I mean we don’t exactly have written records from Heathens during Heathen times (the joys of preliterate cultures).

Valhalla kind of sucks though it’s a bunch of assholes being loud and killing each other and drinking way too much. No thanks, I’ll take a quieter afterlife where I’m left alone and get to read all the time.
