You know what I give Loki a lot of flack for refusing to learn anything from his mistakes but honestly NOTHING my loser failwife did will ever compare to Óðinn motherfucking Borrson basically getting a front-row seat to a cautionary tale about the way that paranoia and distrust will turn those closest to you into strangers and threats in your eyes and ultimately lead to your own downfall - from a man that he raised as a son, no less - and coming out of it going "wow that was fucked up lol, anyways back to imprisoning my bestie's son in a cave somewhere so he doesn't bite my head off like in that one prophesy I saw". Self-awareness in the fucking negatives

Goblins took an item again and I kinda need it back but other than leaving portage over Christmas which I forgot to do I’ve got no idea how to make a deal here

Then fields unsowed bear ripened fruit, All ills grow better, and Baldr comes back

lil devotional piece i made to celebrate yuletide :) the holidays season never fails to make me feel close to the gods. it's almost like there's something in the air.

Fun fact of the day

[asatroende]

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

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
