Odin may only have (1) good eye, but he can still see how pathetic nazis are. He hates them. All of em. Every single one. nazis, aryan shitheads, nationalists, "alt-right" douchebags, racists, and believers in "white genocide" will NEVER be welcome in heathen spaces. Heathens, Norse Pagans, and the like will fight tooth and nail to keep you away from our Gods, our traditions, our symbols, our stories, our poems, our prayers, our art, our ever growing community. Keep Odin's name out of your fascist mouths.

I’ve always sort of avoided drawing Loki in his myths, for various reasons, one of them being that my style is so different that I suppose I felt like it wouldn’t suit it. Also this particular myth really hurts (as a Lokean) but for some reason, I felt called to finally tackle it in my style. It’s my first Loki piece in quite a while (and I feel it turned into more of a Sigyn piece tbh) and I’m actually super proud of it.

Today, we know nothing anymore.

By letting TikTok and other social networks develop, I've noticed that we no longer know anything.

Whether it's about religion or anything else. Far too many people don't even know the symbol they wear every day, or why they wear it.

Many don't know the myths or the origins of their god and are content with things they see on the internet.

I don't blame anyone; I've made these mistakes. Who am I to say anything other than facts?

Trying to have a constructive conversation about why we perform a ritual in this way at this particular festival will lead to many stammering.

To know is not to agree with everything. It's to accept that part of the truth, that part of existence that may displease us or leave us perplexed.

Being religious is not about making others believe at all costs, but about being open to their perspective. It's about recognizing that what they say may be true, while still choosing your own faith without letting it influence you. And that's not easy.

We are easily led today to have a politically correct belief. I would like to remind you that, especially now, political correctness is influenced by TikTok. Brilliant.

The "spiritual trend" has become a concern. When I observe things that include the use of concepts like chakras, white sage, or other things outside their traditional context, several problems arise:

Decontextualization: Chakras, for example, originate from specific Indian traditions, according to my research. Using them as mere fashion accessories empties them of their profound meaning.

Cultural appropriation: The superficial and commercial use of spiritual symbols and practices can be perceived as disrespectful to the cultures that developed them.

Distortion: The popularization of these concepts can lead to oversimplification and a distortion of their original meaning, resulting in misunderstandings or even problems.

Commodification: The sale of products related to these practices ("chakra" jewelry, "energy" clothing, etc.) turns spirituality into something that can be bought. No. Spirituality is lived.

And it's not all sunshine and rainbows. It is crucial to approach these concepts with respect and to learn about their origins and meaning.

What worries me most is perhaps the simplistic approach of the ritual.

Ask yourself some questions !

Where does this come from? Why? What are the risks? Is it a closed practice? Is it really useful? Why this herb/plant? Is it dangerous in certain ways? How do you store the oils? Where does this god come from? Can I pray to him? And if so, where do these myths and cults come from? There are LOTS of things to know.

Personal growth is painful. Beliefs require discipline. Evolution. It worries me. To see people gradually becoming mere reflections of social media. Without questioning. Without opinions. Without reflection. We are more than that. We have built things. Humanity is not a shadow of AI or social media.

I do appreciate those ‘do something witchy every day!’ posts, but I also think it’s worth remembering that everything we do is witchy, because we’re witches. It doesn’t have to involve candles or tea blends or meditation.

I’m still a witch when I’m elbow deep in dishwater. Sure you can use it to rinse away things you don’t want in your life, but you don’t have to. Doing the dishes is magical by virtue of the witch doing it.

I don’t know, it just feels like there’s sometimes pressure to be . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁. aesthetic . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁. about everything, or you aren’t doing it right; nothing could be further from the truth.

Once a witch, always a witch.

*Me coming back to Tumblr after a needed Break from it. Seeing even more Labels thrown around in the witchcraft and pagan community than ever before*

Loki: "Why do you people love to label yourself so damn much? Its limiting."

Me: "I think, we try to name things, so we can categorized it. Like plants, Dandelions as an example."

Loki: "Yeah, right categorizing. But does the Dandelion know that its called a Dandelion, or does the Dandelion simply exist?"

Me: "..."

Loki: "You make your life often way too hard..."

Me: "I should just exist in the moment..."

Loki: "Exactly, just be in yourself, without thinking about your Role, your Labels, your Titles. Just be and maybe sniff on the Dandelion rather than force it into Category..."

[cleanupyrlooks]

i’ve been researching paganism and the norse god Loki right cus i find it interesting and am drawn to him i believe?

and since i’ve been doing that i’ve felt calmer

like normally i’m always paranoid and anxious but i’ve been calm, like a calming presence is here making me feel the same?

the presence is strangely comforting and for some reason writing this i wanna cry but im not sad, it’s like whatever is saying to let everything out that i’m safe

i MAY be delusional but i can’t explain this in any other way, currently im an atheist (agnostic?) but i feel like he’s calling out to me

if anyone has any experiences like this with him or anything please don’t be afraid to share

[valtsv]

oh my god i almost forgot to tell you all about how, while my dad was visiting, i had an infestation of every single kind of bug in my house that hasn't been a problem before or since. like i'm not kidding i evicted so many creeping crawlies that week and couldn't for the life of me stop mosquitos from stealing my blood, but as soon as he left they vanished. and i mean, sure, there's a perfectly rational explanation, because two people make more mess than one and he has a habit of leaving the windows wide open enough to fly a jet engine through day and night, but i can't help but think how symbolically on the nose it was. the ancestral rot at the heart of my family so gothic it's got ants and flies buzzing around its decaying corpse.

Alright, I waited until I’d be less nasty about this, but I seriously need to get this off my chest.

I’m someone who interacts with spirits and gods. This is an ability many non-Western cultures recognize and understand, whereas Western society does not.

In order to explain this ability in ways that make sense to Westerners, I have to translate my knowledge into a Western way of thinking. Doing this is very difficult and results in an explanation that’s ten times longer than it’s non-Westernized counterpart.

Nevertheless, I’ve enjoyed doing it because you’ve all been interested and polite.

Recently though, I’ve begun to understand why many spirit-workers don’t interact with Western neo-pagans: It’s because they might run into Western neo-pagans who throw raging fits at the idea that spirits and deities aren’t things they can do whatever they want with.

If you come across a spirit-worker willing to share their knowledge with you, this is what you do:

Be courteous and attentive.

Be curious.

Speak up if you don’t understand something, even if you’re not sure what you don’t understand.

Ask follow-up questions.

Always assume the spirit-worker is talking about people when they talk about deities and spirits.

Treat the spirit-worker like a regular person too, because they are.

This is what you don’t do:

DON’T tell a spirit-worker you believe gods are archetypes and therefore it’s okay to use them however you please. This is like telling a dog-trainer you don’t believe dogs have souls so it’s fine if you use dogs as toys and handbag accessories.

DON’T try to “correct” a spirit-worker’s skills-based knowledge with your book-knowledge. You’ll look twee at best and like an ignorant jackass at worst.

DON’T use them as a prop to argue your point of view with.

DON’T pathologize them. Experienced spirit-workers know how to separate their spirit-interactions from symptoms of mental disorders. There’s no fucking reason to bring up mental disorders unless you’re asking a question about how to disambiguate.

DON’T assume people identify as spirit-workers. This term describes a person who’s developed a particular skillset. It’s not a bloody identity label.

As far as spirit-workers go, I’m really chill about the fact people view deities as archetypes because I know this has a few different purposes to it. But I will interpret it as nothing but pure entitlement if someone declares to my face that gods are basically Public Domain Blorbos they can play with like dolls. They either need to grow some ethics or get lost.

More pagans need to internalize that most deities will be antagonistic in some myths and protagonistic in others, and neither of those portrayals will completely capture their actual character when you start worshipping them.

[creature-wizard]

Basically it doesn't matter what religion it is, some people in it are going to be really kind and compassionate, and some people are going to be the worst fuckos on the planet. You just gotta learn to expect that range no matter which religion you're thinking of.
