To the LGBTQ + worshippers...

The gods support us!

Like all humans, we are worthy of love, kindness, and support; we are worthy of the love and pride of the gods. We are perfect, even in our imperfections, and we have reason to be proud of ourselves. Like the gods have created many things throughout their immortal lives, we have created ourselves - raised up our identities out of the fire and flames, and embraced ourselves just the way we are.

So be proud this pride month, and have faith that the gods are walking beside us during the parade, brandishing our colors, and showering us with the support we deserve.

The gods are just as proud of us as we are of ourselves. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

(a tiktok I am irregular on, but a video I like. )

My mjolnir pendant is so important to me. It's a constant reminder of my Gods and my ancestors in my soul at all times.

It's holy to wear but it's also holy to live with. My partner and I kiss on my bed and mjolnir swings into his teeth on accident and we laugh, and someone else, some ancient lovers with the same faith, have done that before.

Of Oak

not ash, not elm, but oak I am and tall and proud I stand as many kinds of trees there are are humans in this land not only two, but manigfold are carved from noble wood and many we are still today where we have always stood

-

This was inspired by hearthkvlt 's "Carved from Oak" sticker. They say: "Humanity is a forest. 🌲 These stickers call upon the Norse creation myths. If man was carved from ash, and woman from elm - then there are as many genders as there are trees."

If you're gonna be in the Eugene, Oregon region today, head to the Pagan Pride festival.

It's at Alton Baker Park!

I'll be wearing an envomask and using my frog umbrella. Sunscreen doesn't provide shade, but umbrella does. As for thr mask, asthma is a bitch.

Check out the link below to see about acquiring one of these very comfortable masks, and so you'll know what I look like.

See you there!

In an effort to be less predictable... Weekly Recap 8/12/2024

I know what you’re expecting me to write. By now, you’re thinking my answers almost always revolve around music. What brings me joy? Music. What hobbies do I enjoy? Music. What do I find interesting? Music. Music, music, music. So for today’s answer on what brings me peace, naturally you thought you’d open this and see the same old answer. Maybe you expected to hear how I like to put on…

Hades and Persephone

Went to Philly Pagan Pride for the first time today! It was DELIGHTFUL. The absolutely best part was the people. OMG, the people. Everyone was SO nice and SO welcoming and SO friendly. It was really inclusive and lovely. It felt like a real community. I kept striking up conversations with SO MANY STRANGERS and they were all just great. Definitely going to try to go again next year!

The nazis that you see in movies are as much a historical fantasy as vikings with horned helmets and samurai cutting people in half.

The nazis were not some vague evil that wanted to hurt people for the sake of hurting them. They had specific goals which furthered a far right agenda, and they wanted to do harm to very specific groups, (largely slavs, jews, Romani, queer people, communists/leftists, and disabled people.)

The nazis didn't use soldiers in creepy gas masks as their main imagery that they sold to the german people, they used blond haired blue eyed families. Nor did they stand up on podiums saying that would wage an endless and brutal war, they gave speeches about protecting white Christian society from degenerates just like how conservatives do today.

Nazis weren't atheists or pagans. They were deeply Christian and Christianity was part of their ideology just like it is for modern conservatives. They spoke at lengths about defending their Christian nation from godless leftism. The ones who hated the catholic church hated it for protestant reasons. Nazi occultism was fringe within the party and never expected to become mainstream, and those occultists were still Christian, none of them ever claimed to be Satanists or Asatru.

Nazis were also not queer or disabled. They killed those groups, before they had a chance to kill almost anyone else actually. Despite the amount of disabled nazis or queer/queer coded nazis you'll see in movies and on TV, in reality they were very cishet and very able bodied. There was one high ranking nazi early on who was gay and the other nazis killed him for that. Saying the nazis were gay or disabled makes about as much sense as saying they were Jewish.

The nazis weren't mentally ill. As previously mentioned they hated disabled people, and this unquestionably included anyone neurodivergent. When the surviving nazi war criminals were given psychological tests after the war, they were shown to be some of the most neurotypical people out there.

The nazis weren't socialists. Full stop. They hated socialists. They got elected on hating socialists. They killed socialists. Hating all forms of lefitsm was a big part of their ideology, and especially a big part of how they sold themselves.

The nazis were not the supervillians you see on screen, not because they didn't do horrible things in real life, they most certainly did, but because they weren't that vague apolitical evil that exists for white American action heros to fight. They did horrible things because they had a right wing authoritarian political ideology, an ideology that is fundamentally the same as what most of the modern right wing believes.

Ann Arbor Pagan Pride 2024

Ann Arbor Pagan Pride has just had its 10th year. That in and if itself is blowing my mind.

We all came together again, and have brought our best. Thank you all.

I miss our friend, Rob Henderson. He would have been proud of it, I am sure. He put so much work, so much of himself into each year.

Hail the Traveler!

It was an amazing year, and I am looking forward to next year.

Ves þú heil!

Frederick Pagan Pride 2023

It’s just this past Saturday, and my Handsome Assistant and I pull up to the Unitarian Universalist Church in Frederick, MD. The friendly young people attending the lot tell us there aren’t any parking spaces left. We’ll have to go to the lot a mile down the road, they direct us, and take the shuttle. Personally, I’m shocked. It’s only a quarter past ten, how could the lot be full already? They…
