Autumn is nearing 🍁🍂🎃

[etherealeo]

the autumn equinox is the perfect time to reflect on what you’re grateful for. find happiness in your daily life and be ready to accept the abundance that comes with it. embrace changes in your life just like you embrace the changing of seasons. everything is temporary; that’s why life is meaningful. let your old and bad habits dissipate like falling leaves.

may everyone have a blessed autumn season! 🧡🕯🍁🍂✨🍎

Mabon (Autumn Equinox) Treats and Craft Ideas  Celebrate this Mabon with those closest to you in welcoming the Fall Season!!!

[songsparrowwitch]

🥐Ways to Celebrate Mabon🍂

Mabon is the second harvest festival in the Wheel of the Year that is celebrated on the autumnal equinox. 

🍎Make apples into bowls! Carve out an apple so that the filling is gone and all that is left is a thick bowl-shaped apple shell. You can put small plants in these, offerings to spirits or deities, or you can place a candle inside. Put it on an altar or windowsill and it’s complete! 🍎Donate food! If you have food to spare, donate some to a local food pantry. Also, if you have pet food or toys to spare, donate to those to a local animal shelter! Mabon is a great holiday to give back and donating what you can is a wonderful way to celebrate the equinox! 🍎Burn bad habits! Literally. If you have a fireplace or somewhere where you can safely burn things, write down your bad habits and throw them in the fire. Then write down good habits you wish to have and hang it near the fireplace or on the fridge if you don’t have a fireplace. This season is all about change, so burn away the bad and work towards positive change! 🍎Spend time with friends and family! Surround yourself with good company and have a fun time! You can visit an apple orchard, watch a movie and eat sweet treats, spend time in the living room together, enjoy a meal with each other, and more. 🍎Bake and share! Apples are an ideal ingredient for homemade goods this time of year. Share your homemade treats with friends, family, or share them with a deity or spirit as an offering. Not only will you get to enjoy your goodies, but your loved ones will, too! 🍎Visit the deceased. Gather some fallen leaves (or flowers if you prefer), acorns, and pine cones and adorn the deceased’s grave with them. You can also light a candle for them and pray or talk to them. Take time to remember them on this holiday. 🍎Harvest and take care of your plants! Gather your herbs or take extra special care of your plants. You can use your harvested materials right away, dry them out, and/or store them away for later use! If your plant is not ready to be harvested, treat it to some new soil or fresh water! 🍎Make or buy wine! Unless you’re underage or an alcoholic. Otherwise, get or make some wine and celebrate! Who doesn’t like to get a little drunk on holidays? 🍎Take time to bask in nature! Winter is coming soon and those walks in the park won’t be as pleasant. Spend some time in the woods, an apple orchard, a lake, or just in your backyard and embrace what nature has to offer! 🍎Meditate or do some spells for balance! Mabon is an ideal time to perform spells that help balance your life. You can also meditate to relieve stress or whatever it is you like to do to relieve stress. Take time to relax and take care of yourself this holiday!

It’s hard sometimes to stay balanced while on the road — 

you cast sigils, perform simple rites on the roof of your homestay in another strange city, pull morning tarot card and walk the streets carrying moon in your heart — still, that can be overwhelming, especially in these days of full moon.

It’s great time to sit with your pack of tarot cards and let yourself to dive deep. 

This full moon spread for:

***someone meeting this full moon with a feeling - I wish to understand the life circle I’m moving through

***someone struggling these days with a lot of emerging stuff - insecurity, doubts, old emotional clutter

***overwhelmed wanderers, moving to fast witches, tired travelers

Tips:

*best to perform on the days when full moon energy is high - September, 13-15

*sit in moonlight if you have such an opportunity, be with the moon for a while, honor her, speak to her, feel her

*draw a simple picture of waning - full - waxing moons (like in the image below) to visualize the circles of changes

*sip your green tea

And here is the spread…

1 - what to let go

2 - what to keep

3 - things yet to come

4 - how the world affects you

5 - what to give

6 - what to receive

7 - what to learn

Enjoy! 

And all the moon blessings!

I would like to invite you all to embrace the ancestors you never knew. 

As members of the queer community, we are in a unique space in that our marginalization is not always shared with our biological family. So we are often left with a feeling of separation to our community and our history, and I want to take a moment to encourage you all to try and bridge that gap within your minds. Think of the queer people who came before us as your family, because so many of them lived their lives so that yours could exist in the way it does.

Think of Oscar Wilde standing in court admitting his love and rejecting the idea that it was shameful in front of his peers. Think of Magnus Hirschfeld collecting data and research so that he could find a path to freedom paved with facts. Think of Marsha P. Johnson, giving out cookies to other sex workers and transgender people on the street and her rage as she threw that shot glass and ignited a revolution. 

These people are your family, they are your history, and they built a world so that you could live in it. You may not be related by blood but you are related by history, their lives are irreversibly connected to ours and I encourage you all to take time to hold that in your minds as you move forward today.

As much as I love Norse and Viking stuff, I do grow tired of the stereotypes that modern ‘Viking’ culture has built up and reinforced: excessive violence, heavy metal, dark imagery, intolerance, hyper-masculinity, etc, etc…

Sure that stuff lingers around today because certain historical records left them that reputation (which is an entire other point I could ramble on about), but it just feels overdone and limiting sometimes… It’s the primary reason (other than studying them for several years and having a Master’s in History) that I can’t enjoy most modern media inspired by the Vikings. And most people expect me to be more obsessed with Vikings in popular media because I’ve studied them, but I’m just…not. I feel somewhat ostracized because I’m not into that warrior culture that the Vikings have come to embody for most people.

I’m not saying that everyone has to change their ways, because there’s nothing wrong with liking that stuff (unless you’re a racist jerk who uses it to oppress others)…but gods, sometimes I’d like to talk about horns, halls, and adventures without things getting so damn dark and violent. Reading their sagas, the Norse were also into love, summertime, and preventing their bloody feuds from tearing families and lovers apart…we don’t talk enough about that side of things. Why don’t we glorify that stuff, too? Their crafts, stories, and ideals for a better, less violent world? Instead, we just tend to praise and reinforce the ‘hardcore’ bits…

Hi sorry to bother you, but would you happen to know where I can find accurate information about Norse Mythology that is also not riddled with white supremacist coding? I’m looking for as much complete information that I can do I can understand the religion properly. Thank you!

No prob.  Well, there’s the Fjorn’s Hall podcast, which if you’re into podcasts is *chef’s kiss* excellent, and you can go follow @fjorn-the-skald and @fjorn-wanders right here on tungler

Also the Saga Thing podcast, which is also amazing

And not to toot my own horn but I also have a podcast that deals with Heathen-related stuff.  Right now there is one entire episode!

There’s Dr. Jackson Crawford’s youtube channel

The Exploring Series on youtube

And there’s Sacred-Texts.com, the best website on the whole entire Internet, a sprawling archive of historical and religious texts.  Here’s the Celtic index, the English index (this is also where they keep the fairy lore), the Icelandic index, the “Legends And Sagas” index, and the Tolkien index (includes a lot of historical material that’s had a big influence on modern fantasy, like the Mabinogion and the Kalevala)

[fjorn-the-skald]

Many thanks for the kind words and warm recommendation—I truly appreciate them! It’s always an honor to be mentioned.

I do have a post dedicated to this particular topic, so if @elrieltinuviel does choose to wander over to my Hall, I highly recommend it. Here’s a link for it: “Like Norse Mythology? Here are Some Resources.” 

I shared those resources with my Viking History class when I was a Graduate Assistant, and many of them found it helpful. I do think it could use some updating, though. I will occasionally update that post with new resources—as I find and vet them, that is.

Keep wandering.
