Someday, eventually, I will get an opportunity to talk about Celtic Apollo.
I see a lot of discussions and content (light-hearted and not) talking about Greek Apollo and Roman Apollo but y'all don't understand; it wasn't just that Greek Apollo had a second Roman Apollo hidden in his pocket, it's that Greek Apollo also has a secret third Celtic Apollo hidden behind his back like a tramp stamp he got in college and refuses to acknowledge or show to anyone.
#ginger rambles#Even then it wasn't secret or hidden at all#According to a couple sources but most relevantly Pindar Apollo would spend his winters in Hyperborea because he works entirely too much#the other nine months of the year#Hyperborea was actually England y'all it was England this whole time#It's hilarious btw because obvi Boreas the literal winter wind was the Greeks' big concept of cold? And Hyperborea was considered#even more north than Boreas hence the name and I just love the idea of the thing that is more cold than even winter itself being England#Anyway Celtic Apollo is rad as hell#He was even sycretised into a bunch of other gods because when the Romans came to do their whole conquering thing#(the first time not the time they succeeded)#They were like “gee wilkers y'all have Apollo too :0” and the Celts were like “???” because they didn't speak Latin#Anyway the real secret is that Celtic Apollo is actually at least three other Apollos in a trenchcoat#Namely Maponos Belenus and Lugh (and yes this is a fun little cross cultural equivalency thing#like the greco-egyptian pantheon equivalents#I won't call Horus Egyptian Apollo because it's more like Horus and Apollo co-evolved like brothers separated at birth#But I also definitely want to call Horus Egyptian Apollo because I'm an Apolline menace#ginger chats about greek myths#apollo#greek mythology

Secret Magical Gift Swap 2024/2025 - Sign-Ups Open! 🔮🌿🍄
Hi everyone! ✨
After a break of 6 years, the Secret Magical Gift Swap is back!
The aim of the swap is to create friendships within the pagan/witchcraft/heathenry/other spiritual community and spread the gift of giving through a postal Secret Santa style event where you send a gift and receive one in return. It's tailored to witches, pagans, heathens, non-religious and religious people alike, Kemetics, Hellenics, polytheists of all sorts, those interested in nature paths, those that follow folk religions, astrologers and others on a path of alternative practice or magic.
In the past this was an annual event but we are now back with a plan to keep the Swaps going a few times a year, more than likely quarterly, with one for every season.
To start this new chapter off, I decided to create the first Swap now, around the very season of giving. However, with the way the financial situation is around the world right now and many post offices being closed for the end of December and start of January, this first Swap will go on from now until the end of January, with a short break in February before we jump into the second Secret Magical Gift Swap!
🍄✨ How to Join The SMGS 24/25:
Read the event rules here and here.
Fill out the Sign-Up form here.
Reblog this post to spread the word!
Join our Discord server if you have a Discord account, for which an invite will be sent to you some time after joining the Swap (this may take time as I'm currently setting up the server :'D)
If you have any questions, please send an ask or message to here or to the organizer, @fernsinthemist The deadline for joining the Swap is November 28th!
Participants will be paired up and sent out within a few days after the deadline.
Enjoy the Swap, everyone!
I am also looking for help! If you are interested in helping to organize this Swap or future Swaps, please fill out this form to apply for a moderator role!

26) What flower do you associate your OC with?
<:D ! thank you!
Secret Ask List
26) what flower do you associate your oc with?
• cassia the sunflower comes to mind first, due to its "always facing toward the light" nature and its general association to positive energies and optimism! but i'd also associate her with daffodils, since they're tied to rebirth/new beginnings, creativity and resilience. • nyxram i've kind of answered this for her in the past! but definitely the purple hyacinth, begonias, red dahlia, orange lilies, marigolds, and/or wolfsbane. they all have ties to regret, sorrow, pleas for forgiveness, and also foreshadowed betrayal. • gwyn tbh, i less associate gwyn with flowers and more associate her with trees, in which case i'd choose either birch trees or rowan trees. but for the sake of sticking to more floral things: forget-me-nots, hollyhock, sea thrift or irish moss. both forget-me-nots and hollyhock are said to belong to the good people, making it bad luck to bring into your home. sea thrift is tough and stubborn, and irish moss isn't a true moss, rather a plant that resembles it, which i think speaks to gwyn's social-chameleon habits and the loss/sacrifice of her own identity for the sake of survival. • ash chamomile, foxgloves, yellow iris, white water lilies. chamomile was associated by druids to life-giving forces, foxgloves were believed to belong to the good people, the iris has connections to the goddess brigid, and white water lilies are found in still or slow moving water. i find myself associating ash to water quite often, and these are sometimes called duilleagbhaite bhan (the white leaf of drowning) or ruamalach (beacon or warning).
#tmnt oc#tmnt 2003 oc#;letters: heaven's night#;asks: secret ask list#;tmnt oc: cassia dubois#;tmnt oc: nyxram#;tmnt oc: gwyneth#;tmnt oc: aislinn#[ cassia and nyx are both from a more ''generic'' language of flowers angle#whereas gwyn and ash are more specifically from celtic meaning and symbolism ]#[ thank you again!!! c: ]

@hyriaven Merry Christmas! I am your secret santa for the Pandora Hearts fandom secret santa event this year, I drew The Will of the Abyss for you. I saw that you like AUs,so maybe Alyss is a famous singer who takes after her mother,and she's come to sing at a Christmas concert? (I did consider giving her red or gold accents halfway,but stuck with my initial idea ,for a snowflakes in the snow blue-white combination)
I actually painted the ornaments with gold but it doesnt show up well in the scans,so I enhanced and slightly edited the scan digitally,and am attaching some photos too! I really hope you like it!!
Bonus: I couldn't stop myself,I have zero self control,sorry,so here's a little video
song: The Toys' Waltz by Celtic woman,
Photos: all mine

Greetings Chat, I Have Made A Miscalculation (chose Celtic myth for an english class project)
#THERE ARE NO FUCKING SOURCES ANYWHERE. WE DON'T KNOW JACK SHIT!!! ABOUT IT!!!!! BECAUSE DRUIDS DIDN'T WRITE SHIT DOWN!!!!!!#LITERALLY LIKE THE ONLY SOURCES WE HAVE ARE JULIUS CEASAR'S HEAVILY BIASED ACCOUNTS THE CHURCH'S EVEN MORE HEAVILY BIASED WRITINGS AND SOME#TEMPLES BUILT WITH HEAVY ROMAN INFLUENCE. THAT'S FUCKING IT!!!!!#I HAVE TO GIVE A PRESENTATION ON THEIR CREATION MYTH AND WE FLAT OUT DO NOT FUCKING KNOW WHAT IT WAS!!!!!#I'm going to fucking smite the church and ceasar and also maybe very agressively shake the druid's shoulders. i understand you wanted to#keep secrets but besties your culture will be wiped out and you deserved to live on in memory#and some poor highschoolers will choose Celtic myth for a school project and end up neck deep in some long ass academic articles#curio chatter
