Norse Witch with a Plant Problem

nazis can fuck right off. Norse pagan green witch. Hel, Frigg, Freyja, Oðinn, Thor, Loki bibliophile and language nerd. one heck of a crafty lady

The sea is a temple. The woods are a temple. Your own bedroom is a temple. The world is imbued with the spiritual. Worship is an act, not a place, and it can happen spontaneously, in reaction to the beauty of a moment.

I used to be doing some pretty devoute things for my gods. Then, when my seizures began I had to stop doing everything. I haven't touched it since, and it has been years. I think either I'll not go back to that, or it will take time for me to get back into it again.

Though it looks like right now I am doing a different approach. Mostly nothing honestly, but I still think about them and have their space, even though it is collecting dust. I think my approach is more literal, seeing them in nature. Talking to them when I'm alone. I'm not trying to reach them as I once was, to reach out and touch the skies, or under the earth.

Frigg taught me to just live my life despite everything, and that's what I am doing. Through everything she has become the leading voice in most of my endeavors. So I take mindful thoughts and steps towards a life with mindful choices. Things that involve the mundane. Rather than reaching for the mystical, I am simply living my life as I am. If I notice them in nature, or feel their presence in the wind, then that is good, but I also don't need it as a constant anymore. I think that's okay, I think it's just as legitimate.

Thats beautiful! I feel similar with Hel. Im reconnecting after some time away and becoming a mother and ive been trying to find meaningful ways to reconnect with my gods in the chaos of having a toddler.

I like to journal to my deities or invite them to sit with me while I drink my coffee while my son naps. I have mini altars on my nightstand to Hel and Freyja. Its slow going but im getting to a good place 😊

[ravenousnightwind]

With Hel I always felt like her place or dominion was the earth in some fashion. She's the decay and rot beneath our feet. The disease in the air, but also part of the balance that tends to be not so clean.

So you know what matches up with that is gardening or just sitting at the roots of a tree. Mushrooms, fungi, all of that realm is within her dominion imo, and it has both positive and negative within it.

I mention this specifically because of the way I do things now, and so idk if that's something you can incorporate into your own practice in some way involving something external. However, I think what ever you do is something that should always be followed by your own instincts, your own feelings. I'm just talking outloud of the possibilities really.

Honestly though, I think it's great your finding your own way based on your own experience. It can be hard, especially with a kid. Things have to be rearranged for that responsibility, so it's great you're finding a path that can go along side it.

[the-seedling-witch]

I have long associated mushrooms with Hel and its cool seeing that others think the same!

To me she is stillness, silence, death of both a physical nature and of traits or things that no longer serve us. She seems to enjoy sitting with me in silence during coffee/nap time, which makes 2 of us.

Also roses for some reason. A friend of mine has that whole thing with her. She'll buy her flowers and there's always one that is slow to wilt.

[the-seedling-witch]

Roses are new but I love them! I give my deities bits of the flowers my husband brings me and they always last longer than the bouquet I keep for myself

witches online -

"teach me how to be a witch"

"teach me how to curse"

"teach me how to use tarot"

learning this stuff on your own is so valuable, imo. and there's so much material that is widely available to learn from as well.

stop selling yourselves short!

[the-seedling-witch]

*with love and respect* fuck around and finding out is valuable. Trial and error to see what you gravitate towards and see how your personal craft shapes itself is so important

Active witches (adults only please, I'm literally 30) or any sort of magical folks, please interact with this post so I can find you!! I'm restarting on Tumblr and I need active blogs to follow in the community.

Bonus points if your blog has anything to do with the following topics: the Fae folk, Celtic/Welsh/Scottish witchcraft and/or mythology and history, deity and spirit work, all forms of divination. Oh and dreamwork also. Oh and Appalachian folk magic and history/lore but that's a reach maybe idk how popular that would be here nowadays

It's been a very long time since I've been active in the community and I feel like it's time to actually interact with other magical beings ✨

[the-seedling-witch]

Im a semi active norse pagan witch who is reconnecting with her path after having a child and finding my Self again and I would like witchy minded friends 🥰

"Though she says them not."

There is a distinct contrast between the masculine and feminine archetypes of "Wisdom" in Norse Myth.

Odin (The Masculine): Wisdom is a hunt. It is active. It requires sacrifice (the eye), travel (the wanderer), and pain (hanging from Yggdrasil). It is loud and desperate.

Frigg (The Feminine): Wisdom is a state of being. She sits on Hliðskjálf. She spins the clouds. She already knows.

The line from Lokasenna, "Frigg knows all fates, though she says them not", is often read as passivity. But Castle argues it is discipline. To see the train wreck coming and remain the steady anchor for your family (the Aesir)? That requires a strength that Odin’s frantic wandering could never achieve.

I am tentatively wanting to build a relationship with Frigg, but I wasn’t sure if the timing is right, especially since I only recently started seriously practicing again. After meditating for a bit, I decided to do a one rune pull, to ask Frigg and the gods in general for a sign if I am on the right path.

I pulled upright berkano, the symbol for the mother, for spring, for new beginnings, for the beautiful birch tree. Opening my eyes to see berkano resting in my palm was honestly a magical moment.

I put a spool of thread on my altar space for Frigg as a thank you. I feel like I just got the warmest hug, it is genuinely such a blessing to feel like you’re taking the right spiritual steps forward.

Eventually I want to find space for all of the heathen gods and goddesses on my altar, but I felt like starting with those I feel drawn to the most was a good place to begin. There might be two feet of snow outside my window, but the warmth of spring is blooming in my heart right now!

[the-seedling-witch]

I've been reconfiguring and redevoting myself to my practice and Frigg is someone I want to get closer to, especially as a mother myself now. Im working my way through each of my deities to reestablish practices and devotional acts and Frigg is next for me 💚

Ritual as Nervous System Regulation

Rituals work because they slow the body down.

From a psychological perspective, rituals:

• reduce uncertainty

• create predictability

• activate the parasympathetic nervous system

From a spiritual perspective:

• they signal intention

• mark energetic transitions

• reinforce meaning

Lighting a candle, journaling, or repeating a phrase is not superstition.

It is structured self-regulation using symbolism.
