#Pagan life

[moonhedgegarden]

[blitzosicedcoffee]

I'm a Norse Pagan that has followed Loki and Freyja for years but following Epic the musical is giving me connections with Athena, Hermes, and Apollo and I am hesitant to reach out to them cause I'm like literally where have you been why are you suddenly interested in me lol.

[tears-of-amber]

I’ve been feeling Thor’s presence lately. Idk if it’s cause I’ve been wearing my mjolnir pendant necklace or cause rain and stormy weather is on the forecast for tomorrow, but I’m genuinely loving it. I never intended to get close to Thor. I didn’t even really think about it, as I’ve been very preoccupied with other deities and entities. But I’ll tell beginner pagans a little secret. Sometimes it’s the god or goddess you least expect that you vibe with the most. That’s how me and Freyja vibed. I’m a devotee of her now, but I just randomly did research on her for a project, and all of a sudden she popped into my life and changed me for good, despite me only planning on being a Loki follower ever. And yeah! Loki is still here for me. But Freyja is ALWAYS, always at the forefront of my practice and spirituality. Now Thor is saying hello (I can’t hear him, but I feel the change of thunderstorms entering the air). I love that I get to learn from so many amazing gods and goddesses.

Happy Floralia, darlings! 🥰🌸

Floralia is an ancient Roman festival celebrating the goddess Flora and the arrival of spring. It's a time to revel in the beauty of nature, embrace sensuality and fertility, and honor the goddess of flowers and vegetation.

Here are some ways you can celebrate this festival:

🌸 Adorn your home and altar with fresh flowers and greenery. Make a flower crown or garland to wear.

🌸 Indulge in your senses. Wear your favorite floral scent, enjoy decadent foods and drinks, or dance to music that makes you feel alive.

🌸 Take a walk in nature and appreciate the beauty of spring. Collect flowers, leaves, and other natural treasures to use in spells and rituals.

🌸 Practice divination or meditation to connect with the energies of the season and the goddess Flora.

🌸 Perform rituals or spells to honor Flora and to manifest abundance, growth, and beauty in your life.

Remember, this is a time to celebrate sensuality, pleasure, and abundance. Embrace your inner goddess and indulge in the pleasures of life. Happy Floralia, witches! 🌺🌸🌼

Breaking down the many faces of the Akrida

Ākrīḍa (आक्रीड) refers to a “garden” according to the second chapter (dharaṇyādi-varga) of the 13th-century Raj Nighantu or Rājanighaṇṭu (an Ayurvedic encyclopedia). The Dharaṇyādi-varga covers the lands, soil, mountains, jungles [viz., Ākrīḍa] and vegetation’s relations between trees and plants and substances, with their various kinds.

 A pleasure-grove, pleasure-garden; (pumānākrīḍa udyānam | Ak.); देवाक्रीडशताकीर्णाम् (devākrīḍaśatākīrṇām) Rām.2.5.15. कमप्याक्रीडमासाद्य तत्र विशश्रमिषुः (kamapyākrīḍamāsādya tatra viśaśramiṣuḥ) Daśakumāracarita 12. कुबेरस्यापि चाक्रीडं प्रागेव वसुधामिमाम् (kuberasyāpi cākrīḍaṃ prāgeva vasudhāmimām) Bu. Ch.4.1.Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Shabda-Sagara Sanskrit-English Dictionary

Ākrīḍa (आक्रीड).—[ā-krīḍ + a]. I. m. and n. A royal garden, [Rāmāyaṇa] 5, 9, 10; Mahābhārata 3, 10823. Ii. m. Sport.Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Cappeller Sanskrit-English Dictionary

Now, I'm not going to break this into a full anthropology lesson on pah2sohn's evolution into Pushan and Pan, and it gets tricky and long anyway since written record that far back is thin to say the least. But what we do know is that the sanskrit ideas migrated into Europe, and eventually settled on the great god Pan Hermes before the herm stones separated into a second, split off deity.

why go into this? Because that Akrida garden may be quite familiar for you.

-----

Yeah, that Arcadia of the wilderness, where Titan's mountains hedge and hide the garden of golden apples of the hesperides.

But you know what else happens funny in greek?

ακρίδα • (akrída) f (plural ακρίδες)

locust, grasshopper

Hence the jumpy facehuggers. But this isn't the end of his jokes.

If transliterated to english, and has happened on several televisions and misha's own upload, the audible form of the word is transliterated as "acreeta".

Placenta accreta is a serious pregnancy condition that occurs when the placenta grows too deeply into the uterine wall. Typically, the placenta detaches from the uterine wall after childbirth. With placenta accreta, part or all of the placenta remains attached. This can cause severe blood loss after delivery.

-------

Why yes, these monsters are the unbirth locusts of the garden. Now what have I been telling everyone is the goal at the end of the road? Does anyone remember what waits at the end of the axis mundi?

yeah, god's throne, also eden. which is why the occultum wasn't a place or a thing, but a key to the kingdom of heaven and the garden (hint: it's In You, if you're at peace with yourself).

So. You know. That's all nice and cursed.

Had to work late on the solstice. Today we take a short day and also schedule the solstices and equinoxes off.

Some things are more important than keeping the wheels of a capitalist dystopia spinning.

[etherealsdreaming]

As always I’m just curious what others do. I’m trying to do mine every 1-2 weeks as a goal.

Guabancex's Song to Yocahu: The Split of The Sky and The Earth (The First Caribbean's Divorce!) Canción de Guabancex a Yocahu: La Separacion del Cielo y La Tierra [¡El Primer Divorcio del Caribe!])

I've had this song in my head since May, so; for to keep my sanity... I will publish it: It is with the same rhythm and music as with Musical Session #53 with Shakira (which sounds like a song, that Guabancex would like to be sung to someone who... Isn't in her affections, anymore!) I leave it, with two letters: First, it is in Spanish; and, more down the post... The English translation, with the meaning of a few words; so you can understand the whole song. And now: Song from Guabancex to Yocahu (...Rap Version!)

Spanish Version

(Uh, uh, uh, uh)

(Para alguien, como tú)

(Uh, uh, uh, uh)

Ah-oh

(Uh, uh, uh, uh)

(Para alguien, como tú)

(Uh, uh, uh, uh)

Perdón, yo te digo Adios

Resultaste ser un mal...

Marido y dios

Yo que espere, para darte mi Amor

Y resultaste ser...

De todos... ¡El PEOR!...

Perdon, Nene: Tu ya eres pasado

Perdon, Baby... ¡Ya hemos terminado!

Una chica como yo, no es para ingrato'

¡Una Diosa como yo, no está para alguien como tú!; uh, uh, uh, uh

Para alguien como tú, uh, uh, uh, uh

Tu me traicionaste

Y, ahora estás; con una igual que tú, uh, uh, uh, uh

Ah-oh, oh-oh

Que lo que me has dicho, ahora te mortifique'

Y que lo que más hecho, ahora te salpique'

No vuelvas más

Pa' que La Eternidad, no se te compliquе'

No es mi culpa que cada hija e hijo nuestros

Ahora te critique

Si usted fue el traidor de los dos:

¡Aguantese su!... ¡Piqué!...

Me dejaste por tu suegra

Con los niños llorando en la puerta, y problemas en nuestras tierras

Creíste que me destruiste, pero escucha mi arenga:

Las Diosas, primero lloran; pero... Luego, ¡SE VENGAN!

Atabey... Tan buena, y atenta...

¿Atabey?... ¡No es lo que aparenta!

Atabey... ''Tan buena, y atenta...''

Atabey...

Es igualita que tú, uh, uh, uh, uh

Para alguien como tú, uh, uh, uh, uh

Tu me traicionaste

Y, ahora estás, con una igual que tú; uh, uh, uh, uh

Ah-oh, oh-oh

Debiste tomar un mejor paso

Pero eso ya no viene al caso

Ella se parece a mi

…¡Usted no hizo ningún reemplazo!

Actuando asi, te abocas al fracaso

Ni entiendo que paso contigo

Ahora me lo encuentro divertido

Cambiaste un Casino por un Bingo

Cambiaste un Sabado por un Domingo

Ve despacio, y date un espacio

Ah, bastante reacio

Pero trabaja tu Sentido Comun también

Ojos por donde me ven

Me siento como un Burén

Ya todo esta bien:

Yo te desalojo... ¡MAÑANA!

Y si la traes aquí, ¡Le hago lo mismo tambien!...

Atabey... Tan buena, y atenta... (uh, uh, uh, uh)

¿Atabey?... ¡No es lo que aparenta! (uh, uh, uh, uh)

Atabey... ''Tan buena, y atenta...'' (uh, uh, uh, uh)

...¡Indudablemente, que ahora estás!...

Con alguien igual que tú, uh, uh, uh, uh

Para un, malvado igual que tú; uh-uh-uh-uh

Tu me traicionaste

Y, ahora estás, con una igual que tú; uh, uh, uh, uh

Ah-oh, oh-oh

(Uh, uh, uh, uh)

Para alguien, pa'-pa'-pa' alguien como—

(Uh, uh, uh, uh)

(Uh, uh, uh, uh)

Para alguien, pa'-pa'-pa' alguien como—

(Uh, uh, uh, uh)

Tu me traicionaste

Y, ahora estás, con una igual que tú; uh, uh, uh, uh

Ah-oh, oh-oh

¡Ya, Adios!

English Version

Uh-uh-uh-uh)

(For someone, like you)

(Uh-uh-uh-uh)

Ah-oh

(Uh-uh-uh-uh)

(For someone, like you)

(Uh-uh-uh-uh)

Sorry, I say you goodbye

You turned out to be a bad...

Husband and god

I waited to give you my love

And you turned out to be...

Of all... The WORST!...

Sorry, Nene: You are already the past

Sorry, Baby... We are done!

A girl like me is not for the ingrateful.

A Goddess like me, is not for someone like you!; uh, uh, uh, uh

For someone like you, uh, uh, uh, uh

You betrayed me

And, now you are; with one just like you, uh, uh, uh, uh

Ah-oh, oh-oh

May what you told me, now mortify you'

And may what you did to me, now will splashs you'

Don't return more

So that Eternity, doesn't get complicated for you

Is not my fault that every daughter and son of ours

Now criticizes you

If you are the traitor of the two of us:

Grab on, your!... Piqué!...

You left me for your Mother-in-law

With the children crying at the door, and troubles in our lands

You believed than you destroyed me, but listen to my harangue:

The Goddesses, first they cry; but... Then, THEY GET REVENGE!

Atabey... So good, and attentive

Atabey?... It's not what she seems!

Atabey... ''So good, and attentive...''

Atabey...

She's just like you, uh, uh, uh, uh

For someone like you, uh, uh, uh, uh

You betrayed me

And, now you are with someone just like you; uh, uh, uh, uh

Ah-oh, oh-oh

You should have taken a better step.

But that is no longer relevant.

She looks like me

You didn't make any replacement!

By acting like this, you are setting yourself up for failure.

I don't even get what happened to you

Now I find it funny

You changed a Casino for a Bingo

You changed a Sabado for a Domingo

Go slow, and give yourself space

Ah, quite reluctant

But work TOO in your common sense.

Eyes where they see me

I feel like a Burén

All is now well:

I'll evict you... TOMORROW!

And if you bring her, I'll do the same thing to her too!...

Atabey... So good, and attentive (uh, uh, uh, uh)

Atabey?... It's not what she seems! (uh,uh,uh,uh)

Atabey... ''So good, and attentive...'' (uh, uh, uh, uh)

...Without a doubt, that you are now!...

With someone just like you, uh, uh, uh, uh

For an evil one like you; uh-uh-uh-uh

You betrayed me

And, now you are with someone just like you; uh, uh, uh, uh

Ah-oh, oh-oh

(Uh-uh-uh-uh)

For someone, for'-for'-for' someone like—

(Uh-uh-uh-uh)

(Uh-uh-uh-uh)

For someone, for'-for '-for' someone like—

(Uh-uh-uh-uh)

You betrayed me

And, now you are with someone just like you; uh, uh, uh, uh

Ah-oh, oh-oh

Enough, Bye!

hi!! i’m new to paganblr (and paganism in general) so i thought i’d make an introduction post.

i’m raven, i’m 17 and i use they/he pronouns. i’m very much a new pagan so i’m not sure of the details of my path yet but i think i’m pantheistic. i believe in energy and worship nature and the seasons in general. i’ve decided to take it slow and work things out more as i go along though

DNI if you’re a facist, racist, a TERF, any kind of -phobic or an antivaxxer

if people could reblog this so i can find new friends that would be much appreciated, thanks <3

It's been a while... But I'm so sick of FB and 🐦 so here I am, back on Tumbler. Don't know what I'll have time for-- I'm a mom now. My littles start Kindy in the fall, and they are a handful. Not sure which direction this board will take, as it has always been an outlet for my fanfic/writing. My 🕜 is mostly pagan and witchy explorations, and my 📷 is all makeup looks and appreciation. I'd like to make this a sort of personal journey blog, life updates mixed with short fiction. If that sounds like your cup of tea, maybe drop me a line below.
