I Don’t Care, I’ll Call on Them in Ritual Anyway!

I know that a lot of Heathens tend to give others a lot of shit for calling the Four Dwarves of the Horizons during ritual to protect and help hallow sacred space, but fuck it, I don’t care, I’ll do it anyway. And don’t bother trying to tell me I do it because it’s similar to calling quarters in ritual with Wicca and that I got it from Wicca, because I was never Wiccan to begin with, I started out my journey into Paganism far differently than that, and I come up with my ways of doing things like warding space from a multitude of places, the various pieces of lore just being one of them. 

One of the main reasons why I call upon of them is because of my of my companion Fredrik. Well, he’s my dad’s companion long before he became one of mine, and he’s been a part of my household for the past sixty one years (there’s an interesting story to be told about that), and he happens to be one of the dvergr,  himself. 

Anyway, Fredrik counts the Four Dwarves of the Horizon as I’m calling them among his personal gods, among other Dwarves he considers as some of his gods. 

I have a good and strong relationship with Fredrik, I have a good and healthy relationship with other Dwarves and with the dvergr,  as a whole to some extent through my relationship with him, and while I don’t worship his gods myself, I’ve been told I can call upon them for aid so long as I do it respectfully and by the Dwarven way if I’m so inspired. 

So you can bet on my blind bigendered ass that I call upon them in ritual, if I’m not calling on Fenrir and Jormundgandr, or to my three Norse companions to aid in warding my space during Norse specific rituals among other things I do, like walking the ritual boundry with fire in hand and hailing Loki. And other such things.

Apparently I Make a Lot of Mistakes with a LuniSolar Calander

I was surprised when I read a blog post last night from a heathen also celebrating a Lunisolar style calender. Baffled and wondering if I screwed something up yet again, I took a look at My notes, and checked the bare bones Universal Lunisolar chart I made, which I use to put together the various Lunisolar calenders for each tradition I practice, and yeah, I see My mistake. This Full Moon is Jol/Jul, next month should be Disablot/Disting, and that means I won't be seeing Sigurdblot until the first of May. Whoops!

Now I'm Getting Somewhere with Noumenia

I did My Noumenia ritual with about thirty minutes to spare before Sunset came upon Me and it transitioned into the next Lunar day. I normally don't wait until the very last minute before doing a ritual, but yesterday got a little crazy, especially since I was hijacked by a the Ancestral spirits of a Friend to help Them out with a bit of a mess. I need to reach out to Her today and let Her know what I received, especially as all the members of our Blind spiritual group need to plan out our next ritual anyway.

Anyway, the ritual went great. I came into it with a couple of theories about why the ritual fire still wouldn't ignite for Hestia, despite doing everything that came up in readings that were done for Me. My theories proved successful, and the fire lit as easy as could be. Apparently Hestia wasn't happy with Me using the lit flame to then ignite the herbs for purification, and also She didn't accept My offering whenever I would give Milk. I'm primarily an Irish Polytheist first and foremost, even if I practice multiple Polytheistic traditions, and so Milk is something I tend to offer as one of My major go to for anything. I ended up offering Fruit Juice instead, and that did the trick.

Doing a bit of research after the ritual was over, I came across some information that certain catagories of Theoi received certain kinds of offerings. That might be the reason why hestia wasn't happy with Milk offerings in the past, I'll have to remember that for the future; I already added a note for it in My personal practice guide. I'm not saying that this is something Everyone will experience, I'm just saying that this is apparently how it's happening with Me and My spiritual household.

I don’t celebrate the solstice the same way I do the cross quarter days but last year I celebrated it with people who have, over the last few months of 2023, stopped talking to me altogether.

this year, I have set a time in my yard. I will have food and drinks, and if people want to come sit in the shade and celebrate the sun, they can partake. I will sit and think and offer something to the gods. I will enjoy myself and my loved ones, and I will not worry about who does and doesn’t deem me worthy. I am worthy.

I am the sun, and I will shine.
