I doodled this under duress by a hungry, bossy cat.
Nerdanel/Indis, Tar Miriel/Uinen :))
Tar-Miriel/Uinen:
Not a ship I think about a ton! Not out of any dislike, just somehow never really got invested in it. I think I'm generally more of a first-ager. That being said you're right they SHOULD kiss sloppy style.
Indis/Nerdanel:
CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY about them
this is a small enough ship and i'm vain enough to call myself the Understander. never seen the exact dynamic i picture them having anywhere else and i think i'm Right about it. it's the yearning it's the power dynamics it's the grief,
nuts about them
is kissing fixing things? no, it is perhaps making everything worse. And yet.
they're an affair to me to begin with they just are
GREY in my #cosplayrainbow : Asexual Flag Edition is my *still* unnamed #OnceUponaTime #swanmaiden OC! 🌈💖 This cosplay (who has a partial backstory but no name, oops?) basically evolved from my non-cosplay #RenFairegarb because I thought it would be more fun to be a character. (Was anyone else surprised OUaT never included swan maidens?) 💖🦢🏰 Ace culture/meme thing: plants!! 🌿🪴 For those of you who have never attended #PARenFaire, the landscaping is gorgeous & covered with lavender & other flowers; naturally, there are many bees. 😊 A few years ago, I *finally* put things together & realised that there are so many pollinator-friendly flowers on the grounds so that the bees can make more honey for mead! (Most, if not, all of the libations served at Faire are made on the grounds.) 🐝 {Corset by @bosswenchofficial / Crystal Fineries; opalite cuff bracelet by @amymandarino (#ShadowMoon on Etsy); winged necklace by @revellerosejewelry} Picture taken Pyrate Weekend 2018 at @parenfaire; border added with @picsart. #OnceUponaTimeOC #fairytalecosplay #PARF #RenFaire #Fairelife #PennsylvaniaRenaissanceFaire #RenaissanceFaire #OnceUponaTimecosplay #fairytalelife #adventuresincosplay #PyrateInvasionWeekend #BossWench #RevelleRoseJewelry #cosplaylife #cosplay #costuming #McCallsPatterns #SimplicityPatterns #handmadewithJoAnn #costumerainbow #LGBTQIAplus #aceofsparklehearts #asexuality #StarlightLilyCosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CS3gbdTrMMp/?utm_medium=tumblr
Norsery Rhymes from A to Z Happy Thorsday – Ailrun, Swan Maiden Valkyrie Princess - V3 Well here we are another Thor’s Day and another 20 min sketch of a Norse (and Germanic) mythological characters. This week it’s another another more roman version of a character I missed when I was doing the A’s Alirun / Ailrun / Alruna / Ailruna / Ölrún. The Swan Maiden Valkyrie Princess mentioned in the Völundarkviða and Thidreks sagas.
Her name means some variation of house of secret knowledge. Or where the secrets reside.
She is the daughter of a mythical Roman emperor Kiár of Valland, and the foster sister to two other princesses Hlathguthr Svanhvít (The Swan White) and Hervör Alvitr / Swanhilde (The All Wise, Strange Creature). Each Swan maidens and possible Valkyries themselves.
Each are described as helmed as Helmed as Valkyries, fair, young, stately, and foreign to the northern lands being from the south. Each capable of transforming into a swan, and are fierce warriors.
They flew into the north after their father disappears. And on meeting three Princes each falls in love and marries one of them. Spending 9 years together before the Swan Maidens are compelled to leave to follow fate. Ailrun’s Husband Being Egil / Aigil / Aegil / Aligaz the Archer (Fear his Arrows blades)
I’ll draw the sisters when I get to the H’s. And it’s on to the next one in the E’s next week.
Well I just had musical message being conveyed, I suppose it’s musical (musiomancy?) synchronises succinctly with the questions being posed in current ceremonial magick based spiritual workings. Oh my. This band also holds a special place in my soul, from younger days. I want to create my own music and song sorcery and seduce Sirena symphonies with musical magical vibrations to realign the the earth.
We may cure the carnal hurts of our world; bringing communion to it’s truest beings, (victims of the cultural genocide and human slave trade and pedophile run, child sacrificing parasites who have raped every corner of this earth.)I long to sing under sensual symphony serenaded by the communion of LASIRENA, a spirit found from voodoo. But too an Ancestral line of Druid lost from ancient pre Christian Ireland. Druids told stories, in poetic song, to carry the tribes high level of knowledge through the blood they worked to build with the hands of flesh. I descend from this line too, and in ancient Gaelic translated meaning raven.
Faery warrior queen of “morrigan” energetic goddess prowess, her current is strong to this moment, and she carries in myth as her many forms. She always springs to mind as a conduit to the musical magic that needs to be done.
I think she was like triple goddess, and underworld traversed shadow therefore savage, original shadow walker, between the land of life and death. Plus a sorceress enchantresss and warrioress, she was also a sage and seer. And fierce to fight for what she held true and pure, and that’s why her battles would be cloaked by shrouds of mist, and the legions of black birds to serve the enemy what they get for hurting the earth and the temple and home of many: for their own conquest ?
A raven is a bird. A smart one.
Of a high caliber of sophisticated intelligence and knowledgeable and manifests to carry the word from the divine creator itself, a message from the highest of high, fo build between the the shadowed, seeress, sorceress, sage and shaman blood of the land. To merge spiritual and the objective science bound tangible world. Actually worked to uphold a Nobel and just social order until the romans and jesuits and their luciferian offshoots took over their land.
One clan at a time and nobody is left unwounded as we are either victimised or complicit. Choose your alignment. It’s one way ; no pedophilia. Or the other, pro pedophile faulty and flawed Fabian Marxist Communist in the worst way. They make their power and money off the blood of the innocent, they sodomise and rape and slaughter children to obtain what they have gained. An illusion that’s a world wide ticking time bomb. For all who are true to their highest purpose, and are incarnating now to carry our this ancient work, right now is the time to align.
So merge the mermaid and siren and the seeker of mystic mysteries lost to the cultural rape of thousands of years bygone.
Sigurd speaks to me and tells the language of the birds (can be heard) to make music and magic live in the same place to bring wholeness and liberation to your own pain and a solution of resolution, Sirena telling me that my soul can soar, shall I sow my words to poem, then serenade the word of my transmuted pain; with the passion of creative fire burning my soul alight.
Sigurd who comes under at George. He only comes via my Teutonic germanic ancestral lines. These clans were the first who were tainted, and fled over to America’s before the invasion, to seek communion in my line of Dutch mohawk creole speaking, victims of the first genocide. Went over to America by Haiti I believe as early as 900. And this is lost magic of my OLDEST but most TRIED AND TESTED “firesword” bloodline.
The sword; the sword of fire and flame is another line.
The one that never gave away the curse to be healed too late as my late grandfather who died last year was tormented by the same people who chased our clan from Indo European shamanic tribes in pre Christian north Europe.
As the vinca bird flutes, who were bones bearing the language of the testament of peopl who have been chased from the beginning of time.
symphonic song is now coming to me with harmony and melody.
Magical and magnetic mermaid of who my souls call to write and weave art in songs drawing journaling scrapbooking or music making as a way to build a beautiful sensual life on the temple of earth.
I am carring these Luna Lamentations. Undertows of my pull into the Oceanic current, of the waters traversed, while the ancestral curse, followed my clans to curse them off the earth.
It’s not been fully formed in the rapist pedophile Vatican bound greed that is insatiable need to steal, sow evil deeds to sacrifice and slaughter babies to carry the chain.
So we lost lore for thousands of centuries and some say even Millenias between Vinca of the pure ancient lands forged under the divine and pure, harmony lived in the land, and symbolised symboliotic growth and valiant accomplishments, that were the ORIGINAL building blocks of any kind of world we know now.
ancient and forgotten, but ultimately demoralised and inverted upon the original seers of tribal clans who were the shaman, the medicinal healer, the sage; sorceress and seer of the ancient mysteries.
Communing between the worlds of the Datura Belladonna scopalimine plant spirit that allowed such highly respected wisdom shared by the seer, the sage and sorceress of the village.
witch doctor of medicinal gnosis walked between then shadow of underworld where the dead pass, and the physical temple that once flourished under the Helios Sunna Goddess Rays of Luminous SUNLIGHT. A female deity in the old germanic lore, the balance needs to be tipped back to the rightful current, shifting the poles makes sense if you think of how the earth was turned on it’s head. The MAGNETIC FIELD, like north and soul polar magnetic fields shifting, is a reassuring measure that Mother Earth has given those will drift on continental plates which will burn and bury the evil by the natural disasters to occur. Land will shift, as it does, but in a matter of years, the masses of continental drift are dependant on the imminent imploding and exploding simultaneous splitting the earth apart in a literal way. As those who are carried by the mother by soul mission, are prepared to ebb and flow on the land that merges and breaks away, as tidal wave and earthquake and volcano and every disaster of elemental form can and will split the earth in half, the spirtual war is as I write and it’s coming to a place where we will split apart the earth, the communion and cataclysm as a cleanse and purge of the worlds scourge and then healing ultimately to those forging truth if blessed by this fate.
Earths poles will be getting back to the way they were before the inversion started. How or why I know little. But I know continental plates will shift and oceans will explode and seas will part and surge with waves if we are to be present of this INEVITABLE, day. Not the end but the start of the new. As the wounds can be healed now we rebuild and redesign and learn from the hell we worked through to get to that point was beyond any war, or evil infernally, carrying the curse by still not coming to own the truth of the sex trafficking and human enslavement plot going on since the ancient world, and beyond the word of many.
Earth and it’s genuine children and the creations of pure and true (animals and plants and natural things) will integrate when the continental plates shift and change.
Mark my words when I say when the Antarctic Base is unvielled by the reemerging of its original clan, who are long hidden deep inside the earth. Well it’s now only decades if not less than 10 years before its going to migrate back to the way it was before the world was topsy, upside down and backwards.
