#fenrirdeity

[screechingtrashpanda]

To remind me

May Sigyn give me the loyalty I need for those I care about, even in their darkest times. May Angrboda give me the strength I need to destroy those who stand against me. May Fenrir give me the strength I need to break the chains that bind me.  May Jormungandr teach me that life and death are a cycle, and what ends must begin again. May Slepnir give me the ability to travel in places both physical and spiritual; the realms have openings that can be travelled. May Vali and Narfi teach me the importance of blood. That family can be both a blessing and a curse, and none are above madness. May Hel teach me that the dead are not as far as one may think, with a calm heart the ancestors are never too far. May Loki teach me to embrace myself for myself. For my ongoing fluidity and change as I become something more. May he take me by the hand and guide me into the fire.  Only then may I be able to dance in the flames.

Break the oath, owe me the hand. You'll break no more promises, for you've none to give.

Was thinking about ways to define my religion beyond "Fenrir devotee, Jormungandr appreciator" and landed on

"Aren't you tired of being nice? Don't you just want to go apeshit??"

Break Free

Break free from your bonds, He says But do you listen?

When you face obstacles on your path When someone holds you back When your thoughts drag you down Break free

However It is hard to believe that you can It is frightening to face what you fear It is easier to look away and ignore his advice

But He is with you He will eventually break free of his bonds And so He knows what to do He will give you the courage to face your fears And He gives you the strength to break free of those holding you back

Break free of your bonds, He says It will do you well to listen.

bestiary: the wolf

he was born blind, and remained that way. even after he could see shapes and colours, and the god who cradled him.

come to my jaws

the blindness of pride, the blindness of hope. the blindness of love and childhood. love is everything, and love is not enough. not enough to save him.

i bit the hand that fed me my tears were not for binding

the boy was all teeth and sinew, and he knew no better. entangled in a ribbon stronger than steel, the wolf huffed, and he puffed -

you would not put your fingers in between my teeth

who sheds a tear for the predator? father and son are bound to the same fate. his mother is a beast, too, but these are not the games of beasts.

i will consume the luminaries of your constructed world

destructive cycles destroy themselves, in the end. when boys grow into wolves then they grow canines.

i will take back what was stolen my years were taken from me and i will take them back

Don’t let them see you bleed

But punish them for beating you

My thoughts on Fenrir in the beginning:

- Big boy

- ANGERY

- Wary

- Following my gut but NERVOUS

My thoughts now:

- Big boy!

- Angry and I can relate

- That time in a dream I ran up and hugged Him and He tried to bite off my head when I called Him handsome (He was trying to bite me for show and we both know it)

- Following my gut on what to do cautiously (still learning to trust myself again)

- Finding unexpected kinship in the feeling of being bound (between His bindings and my chronic illnesses, and the anger born from it)
