The seasons played and still play a major role in understanding the zodiac signs. The western zodiac most are familiar with today originated from the northern hemisphere. Medieval Europe also played a big role in our understanding of the zodiac signs and their symbolisms and associations. Below is how Scorpio represents or connects back to the autumn season.

Scorpio is deeply connected to the transformative energy of autumn. In the northern hemisphere, Scorpio spans from late October to late November, a time when nature is shedding its old form. Just as the trees lose their leaves and the earth prepares for the stillness of winter, Scorpio’s energy represents letting go of the past to make space for new growth. This sign isn't afraid of extremes and of death and rebirth, reflecting autumn’s process of decay and renewal.

Autumn is a time of introspection, when days grow shorter, and darkness begins to reign. Similarly, Scorpio is a deeply introspective sign, known for its connection to the hidden, the mysterious, and the shadowy aspects of life. Much like the season encourages us to slow down and turn inward, Scorpio pushes us to confront our inner depths, face unresolved emotions, and seek personal truths. It's a time for exploring what lies beneath the surface, a theme that resonates with Scorpio's intense curiosity and need for emotional authenticity.

Scorpio understands the cyclical nature of life. This sign represents not just the end of something, but the potential for something new to arise from it. Autumn’s quiet yet profound shifts remind us of the power in release, a theme central to Scorpio’s transformative journey.

Scorpio Season holds an air of mystery and depth. The cold, crisp autumn air brings a sense of sharpness and clarity, similar to Scorpio’s focused nature. Autumn’s beauty can also have a melancholic edge, symbolizing the fleeting nature of time and the need to embrace change—a reflection of Scorpio’s sensitivity and awareness of life’s deeper cycles. Both the sign and the season remind us that there is power in embracing our shadows and finding strength in hard shifts.

At this point it’s almost every time I open the app that I see someone revolutionizing a hobby I didn’t know needed it.

You will patch up all the holes in 2025.

(this isn’t a post about knitting)

[jovialtragedyfox]

every time i see trad gender roles people being weird about fibercraft i wanna tell them

-medieval and early modern knitting guilds were full of men learning and perfecting fancy knitting techniques to impress rich clients

-in cold, wet climates like the scottish highlands knitting was done by the whole family, in fact it was the perfect activity to do while a man was out on a fishing boat or in the pasture with his sheep and cattle

-men who were away from women for a long time had to know how to knit and sew at least well enough to mend their own clothes. soldiers knitted. sailors knitted. cowboys and frontiersmen knitted. vikings probably knitted (actually they would have been doing a kind of proto knitting called nalbinding, but that's beside the point). all those guys the far right love to treat as ultra masculine heroes were sitting around their barracks and campfires at night darning their socks and knitting themselves little hats

“jon saved us”

⚔️ I keep hearing stories about you, bastard. The way people in the North talk about you, you’re the greatest swordsman who ever walked. Maybe you are that good. Maybe not.

[jovialtragedyfox]

The great men don’t give up that pursuit, they don’t know how. That is what makes them invincible.

personally I like to think that, amongst the nights watch slash stannis’ army when they finally get there, jon snow has a big reputation for being a slut. getting up naked in the baths and just walking out angry on alliser thorne and whatshisface while naked as his nameday. hooked up with a wildling girl beyond the wall, and now both the wildling princess and old man warrior are flirting with him like crazy in front of everyone (aka val makes barely concealed threats and tormund is constantly talking about his penis). made satin his personal assistant and the first question whatshisface has is ‘are y’all fucking.’ now alys karstark rolls up in a wedding dress and asks for jon snow personally and everyone sees them giggling together during her wedding that jon arranged? and the rizz he has is unbelievable, as sam will personally tell you

Historically Sacred Items/Offerings to each of the Ouranic Theoi! I made this for my Hellenic polytheism group on discord, so I thought I’d share this information with all of you as well.

All information has been taken from theoi.com as well as various historical books on the gods, and I have decided to make this powerpoint so that other people don’t have to sift through all the pdfs and books themselves.

Make sure to click each image to get a fullview! Ευχαριστώ!

I embroidered a jean jacket for my soon-to-be sister-in-law’s birthday, and then finally finished it just in time for Candlenights, 6 months later 🎉
