intro

I'm a small town pagan, artist, history, folklore, mythology, and animal lover. My beliefs are eclectic and I don't devote myself to a single pantheon. Though I’m mostly drawn to Hel 💀 Thor⚡️Máni 🌙 Hermes 🪽 Dionysus 🍇 Set ⚡️ Nephthys 🩶 Marzanna 💀 Veles 🌳

I have an interest in witchcraft but I don't really practice at the moment, I’m also interested in folklore regardless of culture. Every once in a while I get obsessed with things.

🩵🌒This blog is an E-shrine to the deities I'm drawn to. Primarily Hel, Thor, Dionysus, Apollo, Eros, Veles, Set, Nephthys, and more. I’m learning more about Polish deities and I have an interest in Gentry.

Warning ‼️

I will post spiders and snakes some images may have flashing 📸 I’ll tag them.

🦆 Sequana by sja

Gaulish goddess, personification of the river Seine and her source. She was adopted by the Romans after Gaul was conquered and colonized. She was especially worshipped in Northern France. Her primary place of worship being Châtillon-sur-Seine, Burgundy,France. The springs there are still called Fontes Sequanae.

Anything related to water 💦 is sacred to her. She is also a healer.

This image is based on a sculpture of her on a duck boat. A study for a future work? Or I’ll make this into a print. Not sure.

July for Loki | Lokabrenna

July for Loki is a concept/idea of taking the month of July to honor Loki originally presented by Galina Krasskova. While I do not support Krasskova and in fact actively avoid her writing as she is a well known bigot and folkish (see here for more on this), I do like the idea of July for Loki and the celebration of the helical rising of Sirius.

Why July?

Loki is a deity of fire and flame and I have always felt his presence closest at the height of summer when the sun blazes like fire in the sky and as someone who lives in the Norther Hemisphere, July and August are when I would consider summer to be at it's hottest. In these months I can feel Loki's excitement and energy, so what better time is there to honor him?

What is Lokabrenna?

Lokabrenna is the Scandinavian name for the star Sirius. It translates to something close to "Loki's Brand" or "Loki's Tourch." Lokebrenna can also be referring to the helical rising of Sirius and is often considered to be the marker of the height of summer's heat.

How to Celebrate

There is no set way to celebrate July for Loki or Lokabrenna. The idea is simply to honor him in someway during this time. Weather that is every day of the month of July or once a week. You can also opt to do just one thing at some point in July to honor and recognize Loki. These things don't need to be huge blots and can be a simple as lighting a tealight candle in his honor or sharing some of your morning coffee with Loki. July for Loki isn't about following some big dramatic tradition. It's only really been around since 2012. It's more about being mindful and taking the time to recognize, spend time with, and honor Loki! That being said, one way you can celebrate is by dedicating Lokabrenna to him.

When is Lokabrenna?

Lokabrenna is a celestial event and therefore doesn't have a set date. In addition the date and time will be different for everyone based on their location on Earth. It generally takes place during in late July/early August.

How to Calculate Your Personal Lokabrenna

I posted about this a few years ago here, but I wanted to share again. For anyone who's interested in finding their personal date for Lokabrenna, I used the info from this post from the Lokean reddit thread, but here are the important instructions: https://in-the-sky.org/ephemeris.php - set type to Any and Object to Sirius and make sure it has your area or a town/city within 50miles/80km of where you live, then find when it changes from "Not observable" -> a time, meaning its observable, e.g. for me it says "05:48 until 05:49", since the heliacal rising is when the star is finally visible after being hidden by the sun for a season, we want the first day it is visible. i set the date for somewhere in July and then selected 100 rows of days and scrolled until i found a time in the "observable" column as mentioned above. (via. r/lokean)

Jumping spider photo shoot!

Specifically bold jumping spiders, as Im told by i naturalist.

Sorry about the poor quality

2 confused Bold jumping spiders. Top one was smaller and darker than the bottom one. Bottom spider is also fuzzier? Could be the better light. Top one It interacted with me more. Probably because I moved its house.

I see a lot of posts bringing attention to some lesser known real life trans men, and I never see Tylan Grant mentioned so I thought I’d throw my hat into the ring and let everyone know about him!

He’s a British actor, and pretty much went through his entire transition on-screen while he was still acting in a Channel 4 soap called Hollyoaks from 2018 to 2024, which means during that time we actually got to see a canon trans man on network television!

And speaking of Hollyoaks, it now has another canon transmasc character when one of the characters came out about a year ago, and while he was initially played by a cis girl, they recently replaced her with an actual trans boy called Leo Cole, who’s only 17 years old!

Trans men and trans boys are out here and thriving y’all <3

The Zorya

Slavic goddess of dawn, midnight, and dusk, magic, beauty and love, sickness and healing, and wisdom. Depicted as one, two, or three sisters, one of which is sometimes associated with harm. In some incantations their name is interchangeable with that of Mother Mary.

[ulfheoinn-screaming-well]

Reading Wyrd ecology heathen ritual and gifting relations by Barbara Jane Davy and i am so impressed by both the writting style, knowledge and the vulnerability shown in this book and i absolutly reccomand it to anyone. In the part that i've read so far she discusses different ways to view the gifting cycle and different reasons to partake in the gifting cycle and the impacts they have. And it is really giving me some good food for thought. And it has really inspired me to incorperate even more offers into my practice. I am currently thinking of ways to do this and i think i want to make an animal vase and dedicate it to a specific god to out offers into.

Got to read while sitting with my rabbit which was lovely but she did jump on top of the book because she had decided that my lap is her place actually and not the book's
