Do you find it slightly… racist too? I mean all these white guys looking over mostly black people comparing them… it has icky comparisons to me. #combine

I’m so bad at trying to rest and recover. I feel like if I’m not rushing around I’m not justifying myself.

lol my coworker sent me this link. I can’t bake but my lovin momma loves to and she feeds the hungry lot here regularly.

Do you have any suggestions for helping to cultivate an animistic mindset? I am finding it hard to understand and feel it. #norsesky

with ya. Canceled a 2 week Disney vacation with all the trimmings. will be redirecting to someplace that doesn't take human rights for granted. #BoycottFlorida

That makes me very happy other Heathens are so willing to stand up to the hateful comments. Our shield wall will always repel their hatred. #heathensky #transsky

If I may join your shield wall…. #queerheathens

@sirivplouff.bsky.social Hi, just wanted to thank you for "Queering the Runes" - I'm starting out with my rune journey and your book made me feel very welcome and connected to the process. You're amazing, keep up your incredible work.

A question: How do you keep going when you're discouraged? Being trans, I'm feeling very frustrated by the current environment and I just don't have much zest for anything lately because I'm just afraid and angry with people. Any spiritual activities that could help? #heathensky #pagansky #witchsky

Elves and Dwarves are from Alfheim and Svartalfheim respectfully - both are Vaetir - natural spirits. Elves usually represent natural spaces and magic, while Dwarves usually represent industry & craftsmanship. Tolkien used these ideas when creating his Elf/Dwarven characters in LOTR.

See, the 3 all the same race - they're just from different places. Aesir are from Asgard, one of the 9 realms and deal with human society and interactions. The Vanir are from Vaniheim, and represent how people interact with nature. Jotun are from Jotunheim and represent raw natural powers.

this book helped me so much - note the author @rysmith.bsky.social is active here on @bsky.app - I sent my regards and he replied thanking me. He's a gem.

I would love to be part of a ritual like that....

Isn't it Hati and Skadi who chase the sun and the moon?

@rysmith.bsky.social Hi Ryan, I just wanted to thank you so much for your books, especially Spinning Wyrd - it has deepened my understanding as a relatively new heathen and helped me enjoy my experience as a heathen more. I really appreciate you and your incredible talents.

what a neat group! Interested to follow your little cadre!

Well thank you! I just saw it. I'll get it out Tuesday :-)

I appreciate it, you're not the problem, I assure you. Too many fake allies trying to make peace with monsters.

Respectfully, I am a small part of the marginalized of the community and I gotta carry my own shield... I don't feel very well defended. I'm paranoid and kinda bitter.

Is that Yoshitaka Amano art?

Heya!

What has practicing magic given you? One word.

Me: Mystery.

I spent a lot of my life hiding from myself, knowing truth but unable to acknowledge it. Now I see actual things I want to know, and have to work for. Mystery is a wonderful gift.

Well sure, but it being old doesn't make it more valid. I agree the real celebration is more important if it can be validated in source, but there's nothing wrong with enjoying something with everyone else.

Can I ask the lore for the full moon after new moon after solstice I'd love a reference to share. Also, you see no issue with celebrating solstice/Christmas correct? I mean, everyone around the archpagans did, why wouldn't they?

I make this as a magnet for my craft business and it's one of my more popular ones.
