Here's a pitch for my Scandinavian followers: Get a recording device and have your grannies start telling stories about the Norse gods and local folklore. Bonus points if it's in English. Put it up on Spotify or somewhere for other people to listen to.

I would subscribe so damn fast.

Art Videos I've Learned From

Here's some art videos that i greatly learned from. i dont work well with things presented in a specific rigid fashion my brain just doesnt respond to it well so here's some that helped me.

Teaching Myself to Draw for 30 days by Leap Tries It

Even more so than the pewdiepie video this video was what made me feel like i could do it myself, he shows like every step of the way both mistakes and victories, its nice.

Pursuing Art at 30 (as a beginner) by Taylor Losch

This one resonated with me because I'm also 30 and while I did draw things as a younger person I gave it up around the time I turned 18 because my mindset was still that if im not instantly good at something i cry. Its a nice video and outlines his pursuit.

What to study to improve your art by bluebiscuits

lays out the fundamentals in an easy to digest manner. what i appreciate is that she lays it out without assumptions of you going for a realistic style which i feel too many art tutorials fall into on youtube

Draw boxes (correctly) to improve your art by pikat

Lays out how drawing boxes helps you be able to draw in perspective and build up your character to make them look less flat. Ive still yet to learn this but ive been doing exercises of drawing boxes so im sure its just a matter of drawing more and more boxes.

Can a beginner ACTUALLY learn how to draw in 30 days? by pikat

she goes over the pewdiepie video and does an experiment with her partner who doesnt really draw and is a math and spreadsheet nerd and idk i thought it was just fun and cute at times. It does also show some pitfalls.

Theres more but I think these are a good place to start, at least they were for me. Your experience may differ, people learn differently but hopefully this will help some

Prayer for Support in Dark Times

May it be that the weight in my heart is lightened By the grace and strength of Midgard’s defender: Thor, be with me now. If it pleases you, grant me aid.

May it be that the love in my heart never withers By the grace and passion of the Mother-Warrior: Frigge, be with me now. If it pleases you, grant me resilience.

May it be that the sorrow in my heart does not destroy me By the grace and calm of Helheim’s hostess: Hel, be with me now. If it pleases you, grant me relief.

May it be that the rage in my heart finds purpose By the grace and fervor of the hanged God: Odin, be with me now. If it pleases you, grant me strength.

May it be that the horror in my heart turns to resolve By the grace and justice of the selfless law-speaker: Tyr, be with me now. If it pleases you, grant me courage.

a side effect of the research i have done in order to prove trans men are oppressed is that i have realised-

trans men aren't nearly as angry about our treatment as we should be.

I Have Written Books!

Hello all! I'm happy to FINALLY announce the reason for why I've been so quiet this past however long, and that's because I was busy writing books! Books that are now published!! :0 Wow!!!

These are the first two of the series, one on Odin and one on Loki, and they go into dang near everything I know about each of them, respectively. These books are also beautifully illustrated by the Saxon Storyteller, so you're in for a real treat!

So far I know they're available on Amazon, but I'll keep you all updated on where else you can find them, when I know!

Update!

Apparently they're available at most major retailers including Barnes & Noble, so you can get them ANYWHERE you want!!! WOW!

I recommend checking your local metaphysical shop or bookseller first!

If First Felon had expectations of honor and integrity like a normal administration, he would have to leave the golf course and spend his time replacing all these traitors.

Folk magic isn't just about (re)connecting with your regional or ancestral magic practices. That's just scratching the surface.

Folk magic is also learning about the biodiversity, culture, and political state of your region.
