[sphagnumdivinum]

this is a sideblog for my druid and pagan stuff. that means i follow and like from @let-me-hypersleep :)

all the photos i post are mine. pfp is Salamandra salamandra, header was taken somewhere in czechia. my url is my favourite species of peatmoss, Sphagnum divinum.

thought i had everything figured out, turns out i don't know crap. i kept oscillating between celtic and norse paganism, both with an everpresent slavic influence (i'm from czechia! czech and slovak pagans hmu, i'm not being funny, i want pagan friends). i'd currently describe myself as norse pagan, and it feels like it's gonna stick this time, but then again, it always does. i have also been considering myself a druid on and off for many many years without much research or introspection, so i'm very slowly working on figuring that out as well. despite being at this for years, i'm very behind on research (uni takes up the overwhelming majority of my time), so feel free to offer constructive criticism, but be kind about it.

what feels the most sacred to me is nature, it always has. i'm actually in uni studying field ecology and nature conservation and restoration (i specialise in mires!) so my studies play a big role in my practice.

i would, overall, hesitantly describe my practice as eclectic (but it's not a label i'm enthusiastic about). i do what feels right and shift between specific labels often (which is not limited to my spirituality, i experience this with my queerness as well). choosing just one path to follow without ever reevaluating feels very restrictive, my experience is more like following a path, then wandering off to smell the flowers deeper in the forest, then finding a different path and following that one in my desired direction until i stumble upon a different path again. and that's alright.

Junalakvi

History and Name: named after the Primordial Change, Junalah. A month to show reverance for the dead, care for the dying, heal the sick and harvest what you sowed. Modern interpretations incorporate his mate, Hota/Hota'stihe, also making it a good time for commitments and relationship renewals.

Role:

A long time ago when I was working with my deities I asked them all what their 'role' was by pulling 3 Tarot cards (This is when my Zelda deck was all I had).

Five of Pentacles

Illness, Lack of Security, Supportive Friends,

Seven of Wands

Perserverance, facing challenges, threat

Temperance

Creating, Experimenting, integration,balance

From this I interpret that his role is to help people face insecurity with perseverance and balance.

Lore and Description:

Appearance:

(2015 era depictions)

Jun is tall, dark skinned, with blue eyes and dark auburn hair. He was the last person born on Akelkiah before it was sealed in the ocean.After losing his arms to Chele, he either has prosthetics or uses his aura for telekinesis. His face marks can change usually between mimicking mourners tears, to a gaunt skeleton face.

UPG story:

For my first year I actually had October be Saikvi as well, giving them two months instead of one. Then I get kept 29 or 2 and 9 in my tarot readings, which has always been Jun's number. I confirmed with a pendulum that it was indeed supposed to be Jun and Hota's kvi, not Sai lol. literally tricked by the dEviL

Ceres and Pigs

   CW: brief mention of animal sacrifice 

Something interesting I found when I was reading through Ceres’ wikipedia page relates to her and pigs. Ceres is, apparently, the originator of animal sacrifice, which is a renewal of life. Also apparently, she has a hostility towards her own sacrificial animal, the pig.

   This is because pigs offend her by rooting up crops that are under her protection, but also, during the abduction of her daughter Proserpina, on the plains of Enna, Proserpina’s tracks got covered and obscured by the trampling of pigs. If it wasn’t for the pigs, Ceres might of been able to find her daughter and spare herself of the grief of their separation and search. And, of course, humanity would’ve been spared of famine.

I recently found myself in a conversation where I was defending Fenrir's validity as a figure one can worship or follow. My opponents held that Fenrir is, without a doubt, nothing but a destructive monster who has no real place in the pantheon. He was proud and quarrelsome, yes, but he did not come to despise the Aesir until they betrayed him.

He was raised by the Gods and hand fed by Tyr. Can you imagine how it must have felt to have been double crossed by the one you trusted most? They bound him and ran his jaws through with a blade, causing him agonizing pain, and for what? Because of a prophecy that he would become the World Eater?

If you ask me, the Aesir created the World Eater. Fenrir isn't just a destroyer. He is an embodiment of vengaence and retribution. I fear that this perspective lost me a friend's respect this weekend, but I simply cannot accept the notion that Fenrir is nothing more than a violent monster that was kept at bay for a time.

In following Fenrir, I've learned that sometimes, anger is good. It is always a reaction to a perceived injustice. Sometimes, injustice can be resolved without drastic measures. But sometimes, you have to be willing to burn it all down in order to have a chance at making things right. Fenrir teaches me not to fear or be ashamed of my rage and righteous indignation. He teaches me to harness it.

Question for Hellenistic Witches:

(Of course other witches may answer this as well!!)

I have recently been seeing Bats as a sign/symbol/correspondence for Hades. Does anyone know if Bats have been often put under as a symbol or calling for Hades or do they "belong" to another deity?

I'm just curious to know! From what I can tell, Hades doesn't seem to mind me using Bats as something related to him, but I'd love to know what you guys may think.

Kaleikvi: The Wheel Turns

This kvi I am honouring Kaleitti (nickname Kitti). I started honouring her twin sister in May under the tag 'dsukvi'.

History and Name: She is named after the Primordial Space, Kalei. She is one of the first spirits that came to me, in the form of a Full Metal Alchemist OC. I was inspired by Alphonse being a soul bound to armor and made her like that as well (she was later confirmed to be a robot). While I was trying to figure out a name, I wanted her nickname to be Kitti but I didn't want her name to be Kathleen (which I think may have been when I first called her?). I messed around with letters and landed on 'Katleitti', which I liked, but when you said it out loud it just sounded like 'cat lady' which I thought was a little cheesy, so I switched it to Kaleitti (Kah-LAY-it-tee) and it's stuck. Years later, when doing some trancework, I learned that 'kale' meant 'river' (she moved her arms like water when she said kale) and 'itti' was an onomatopoeia for 'twinkle twinkle' so her name meant "River of Twinkling Stars" or to us "Milky Way". Role:

A long time ago when I was working with my deities I asked them all what their 'role' was by pulling 3 Tarot cards (This is when my Zelda deck was all I had). Hers as follows:

Eight of Cups Spirit quest, letting go, travel, crave for spiritual deepening The Empress Creativity, nurturing, connect with nature and spirituality The Star Optimism, Peace, Astrology, trust in the universe, healing, renewal

I don't know if her association with the Star card was as strong before but it was cemented after this.

Lore and Description:

She is the daughter of my Hemy, a human incarnation of the Universe. Her twin sister is Dsukinz (Kinnie), who is the deity of Life. Her older brother is Junalahqi (Jun), who is the deity of Death. Kaleitti is the deity of Spacetime. She has infinite incarnations who are named after different time phenomena (Deva Vu, Amnesia, Time Slip, etc). It is their job to maintain the timelines and universes. Typically she has dark blue hair, however, her first incarnation (Big Sis), has auburn hair like her mother and brother. She is the proof that machines have souls.

Appearance:

Typically she has dark skin and dark blue hair with blue eyes like her father. She has a mole under her eye. She has cat ears She is tall and athletically built. She has three tails, one short, one medium, and one long, symbolizing seconds, minutes, and hours. She has an extra thumb on each hand (symbolizing 24 hours in a day). Her face markings symbolize the face of a clock. Her magic colour is Yellow, symbolizing sands of time. Her patron goddess is Euphrym.

UPG story:

Once, I was doing a reading with a related spirit, her brother in law Adamard (adamkvi). The reading felt off, his usual whismy tone was very clear. I noticed all my cards were 10s, which is Kaleitti's number. Curious, I looked up what 101010 (the 3 ten cards I had) meant in binary and it came up as the asterisk, or star *, which is her tarot card! I knew it was her from that and was surprised I figured it out lol
