Agneta and the Merman Get Back Together

One sad thing about the old stories is that when the culture became Christian, the stories suffered for it. It’s hard to say by how much, but know the tampering is there. One such story that not only was hit but even had a late rewrite-addition is Agneta and the Sea King. In some traditions it’s Agneta and the Merman. The story starts out beautifully. A knight’s daughter, Agneta , meets a…

Loki's Identity Crisis

After more than a half a year studying and writing, I’ve managed to take things and smooth some of it out into my first article. And then I realized… there’s no one to submit it to. I don’t like using too many fifty cent words. (These days it’s probably $100 a word because of inflation.) I don’t like being too reverent, I don’t like beating around the bush to get my point across when it comes to…

Loki: Playing With Fire

Spoiler alert: he plays with it. He isn’t it. My paper, That Læ-ing Loki, stopped being a paper 30,000 words ago. It’s large, and it’s in charge, and Loki is floating in a corner laughing at me while munching a muffin top. This is my life now. Like everything else in my life, the paper-turned-book has caused friction with other people. Some of it is that I need to keep my mouth shut and let…

The Arrogant Pride of Marriage

Spirit Spousery: Not a Fad. Not a Dream. Not Always Fun. My marriage to a spirit who presents himself as Loki… is active. But in the beginning? Yes, it was a trick after a fashion. I was mad at first, yes. But it had (spirit) witnesses. We even did the marriage dance and traded wine, and yeah… he watched my goblet tilt with a predatory and villainous eye to end all villainous eyes. But. I was…

Gallows Humor and the Pawwaw Way

Although I learn from an Ulcha shaman–and boy do a LOT of things match my upbringing and normal lifestyle frequently!–unless the songs are sung for me to become a full-fledged shaman in this path, I will never be one. There are those that say “you cannot be ___ shaman because you are not of ___tribe.” This is true, but it is also not true. You cannot be __ unless you are of the tribe, but if the…

Turning Back Time

Bypassing the Ages to Find the Real Spirits Turning Back Time | RSS.com Since taking up traditional shamanism, I have had an internal conflict. It was trying to reconcile venerating and honoring Frigg, Woden, and Loki with a path that did not have them. The Judeo point of view has infected reconstructing and/or remembering the old religions as people try to go backwards. There are people…

Shamanism of the Ulchi

Maliciously Ma'am-ed

This morning I’m not pondering the spirits, nor my problems with wyrms, nor even breakfast for which I think my hips are grateful. I woke up at something like 4 in the morning feeling battered from a conversation I’d had with someone. It was the kind of conversation that always leaves me feeling like human connection is a luxury I’ll never be able to afford, and I wake up in the night asking…

The Silence of the Sorcerers

It went against what my teacher wanted me to do, but I’m very glad I listened to my inner instinct and started hunting down the shamanistic crisis. I learned the phases. I learned they’re not all according to the same plan. And I learned that when my powers came alive last year, I was a full fledged shaman. A baby. Ready for training. I was in what many call the “resting phase” when my butterfly…

Newness

We are not happy here at WordPress, where the ability to edit the website is limited enormously. We are thinking about moving. In the meantime, we’ve had kittens as of last night. We’ve seen thumbs. A new color was named by Leslie: iron dust, which is a silver roan shade. Silver roan coloring is one of the breed’s defining traits, but not all silverdusts have that coloring. What marks the breed…

The Cattery Confined

Leslie had to retire from breeding, so the remaining dusts that were not taken by liars (who promised to get involved only to spay, neuter, and then disappear with their RARE kittens) came to us. There are only a few left, but we have them. Of the current litters and adults, we have the following: Bandit – male, blue eyes, seal point with cream overtone. Interestingly his fur has been getting…
