What is the Deerkult/Deer Cult? I’ve seen it on a couple witchy/Pagan blogs, and I would love to know more! :)

I'm not the most qualified to answer but I'll do my best. I wasnt part of it and still am not, but i do remember some of the major plot points

A few years ago (2015?) a group of pagan bloggers got hit with a lot of imagery of deer specifically and the Wild Hunt. as well as themes of death and rebirth. they discovered that it wasnt just them and that it was a pretty widespread thing, relatively speaking. it was thus dubbed the deerpocalypse

Turns out it was something of a recruitment drive for several deities from multiple pantheons. When it continued into around 2016, it was then changed to deerkult to imply something a little more.. ongoing.

Nowadays, im pretty sure only a handful of the original deerkult bloggers are still active but in the past. maybe month? ive seen a resurgence of deerkult bloggers. which doesnt surprise me given the nature of the original deerpocalpyse. in fact id be surprised if it didnt get resurected every once in a while

Oh no, #applekult begins. Today’s Duolingo is in league with Gwyn’s apple shenanigans.
