this will be the year I finally convince everyone to abandon New Year's resolutions in favour of Yule Boasting, the clearly superior tradition

[asatroende]

i keep forgetting the sky does that

idk it hasn't fixed me or anything but I decided to appreciate pigeons and now I get excited when I see one with cool colouring, I randomly started referring to "my beautiful girlfriend the moon" so now I consciously look for the moon and it makes me happy to see it, I look at clouds and lights and toddlers in silly outfits and stickers on lamp posts and it does make me feel good and like I am a part of the world around me and like there is something fun or beautiful just around the corner at all times

Every time i’ve had to replant anything with serious roots and shake the dirt out i just can’t unsee the parallel

Listen, Thor may be a hot-head ready to punch a man in the face for cutting his wife's hair on the middle of the night, but he's still a supportive husband

EDIT: I forgot to include these little doodles I did of Sif's fixed up short hair and then an idea for her new hair

On the dark path she walks

Two steps forward

White shroud and flame hair

12 steps remain

Her voice and the choir rings

Her procession walks the earth

And souls they bring to folkvagner

Resistance grown one by one

People should make Odin more of a war criminal in media, like that man has violated the Geneva convention, OSHA, human rights and several laws that would get him the firing squad. This man has a rap sheet that would extend to russia and he is a bitch about it I want that old man dead

You shouldn’t go to tiktok for academic research

You Should go to tiktok for the sped up evolution of oral storytelling

[asatroende]

how do we generally differentiate b/w esotericism and mysticism academically speaking? i know they dont mean the same thing but im not sure how

Mysticism means two things:

Mysticism 1 - People trying to have a direct interaction with some transcendant Other.

Mysticism 2 - People writing about Mysticism 1, trying to elaborate on what the fuck they're talking about.

Esotericism is basically a text whose meaning will be obscure to the uninitiated. A text that is intentionally incomprehensible, except to people who have the right knowledge going in.

Many mystical texts are by nature esoteric, but not all esoteric texts are mystical.

Dearest bragi

Save me from the fire of the masses when I imply that odin is a bad guy and that praying to a bad guy is still something good people can do

Dearest forseti

Begging that people will see the nuance here

The court will have my head for what I’m doing

If what the community usually does with academia is reconstruction then I think what I’m doing is gonna be considered renovating is forsaken house

I want to be so absolutely clear btw that I’m still gonna worship thor even though I don’t trust that aspect of him, thor is the storm and the thunder and thus very unpredictable and if I want to avoid bad experiences with storms I’m gonna we’ll have to pray to him

I don’t think all gods are good

I don’t think a god has to be good to deserve or need prayer

I don’t even think that praying for protection from thor is a bad shout, just that the sudden rage might come with that deal and that I’m not on board with that in most cases

Me: I’m building this religious foundation for me and my beliefs, no one else

Also me: if I publicly think thor isn’t a protector god I’m gonna get killed to death
