are people in real life PoC or LGBT or disabled for a reason

do these critics run up to people on the street like WHY ARE YOU BLACK

Have you learned enough yet, Allfather?

you know, something i've been thinking about recently is identity in relation to worship and devotion.

so often i see people rearranging their entire lives to accommodate what they think a devotee should look like. but i've always thought, isn't it so much more meaningful to incorporate your deities into who you are?

i have so many interests that have nothing to do with my deities. my main hobby/interest that i spend most of my time and money on doesn't involve paganism at all. i work with loki and freyja, yet my room and the area around my altar are filled with pastel pinks/blues and the walls are covered with posters.

i wanted to make bracelets for both of them that i could wear everyday, and so i coordinated palettes for both of them that fit with my usual wardrobe. i had some alone time at home the other day, and instead of using it to sit at my altar and do some typical divination (that i would normally do), i decided to light their candles while i had a dance party.

everyone's practice is their own, and i encourage you to do what's comfortable for you. if that means revolving a lot of your life around your deities, i totally respect that! but i also think there's beauty in balancing other things with your devotion, and maybe letting your gods into it too. letting them know that they matter to you and you want them to be part of it. that you'll carve out a space for them, no matter what it is.

Some people be acting like giving Loki in offering is the same thing as making a bargain with a faerie all bc he’s a trickster deity

My unaware mother put a chocolate bar in the offering bowl on my Loki altar 😭😭😭 She knows its an altar, but I told her its for meditation, burning candles and stuff..

She said "Well that's for manifesting a sweet life!" How do I tell her she just made a god happy

Hail Loki.

may they give me the strength and courage to stand up against fascism, oppression, and fucking bullshit.

the Gods are alive and breathing. you can reach out and feel their pulse, if you're willing to take the risk.

I’m sorry if no one’s explained this to you before but a content creator telling you that their work isn’t for minors and it’s not their responsibility to jump through hoops to keep it from you is an adult looking out for kids. they’re modeling good boundaries and setting the expectation that you’ll engage with the online community like a person and take responsibility for your choices. if you cannot understand that you need to look out for yourself and take people seriously when they say their work isn’t suitable for young audiences then you are not ready to be unsupervised on the internet.

shapeshift!

Reblog if you are a Norse pagan who is not cool with Nazis and/or weird racial exclusionary things

I’m digging out names for someone, at the moment, but I follow a 1312 blogs (I shit you not) and I KNOW I will miss people.

there’s many theories as to why L has no eyebrows but maybe he just shaves them off

A kiss by the river, between a bat and a fish? I don't know but it's lovely!

Sunny bullied me to post this art so if it flops I'll delete it ASAP 😹 color palettes are picked from the lesbian and trans flags! I drew it to help raise funds to organize my town's Pride this year 🔥

Since this sounds like a very Loki thing to do (lol), I wanted to share this story with you.

My friend speaks of seeing a man with red hair a lot as a kid. Sometimes even in public and he would try to run and catch him, but he’d disappear just as quick as he spotted him.

One day, when he was still a very young kid, his family had a bonfire on a beach, and when they went inside, he spotted the man sitting by the fire (which they had already put out). He snuck over, and in hindsight he knows he wasn’t doing a great job of it because he apparently saw the man stifling laughter lmao.

He popped up to try and surprise the man, but he had already appeared over at a forest clearing nearby.

“This SMUG BASTARD,” I remember my friend saying. He put a finger up to his lips, WINKED, walked behind a tree, and a deer came out the other side.

He apparently tried to chase the deer down and ultimately failed to catch up.

But yeah, just wanted to share that story with you because it’s funny, and a fond memory of that friends’. 🤭

Aaaah I love it. Thanks for sharing!

I Have Written Books!

Hello all! I'm happy to FINALLY announce the reason for why I've been so quiet this past however long, and that's because I was busy writing books! Books that are now published!! :0 Wow!!!

These are the first two of the series, one on Odin and one on Loki, and they go into dang near everything I know about each of them, respectively. These books are also beautifully illustrated by the Saxon Storyteller, so you're in for a real treat!

So far I know they're available on Amazon, but I'll keep you all updated on where else you can find them, when I know!

Update!

Apparently they're available at most major retailers including Barnes & Noble, so you can get them ANYWHERE you want!!! WOW!

I recommend checking your local metaphysical shop or bookseller first!
