It's Mother's Night.

Usually on this day I make a post celebrating my Disir - ancestors and mothers and grandmothers and aunts. I thank Frigga. It started a few years ago when I was pregnant - something I never thought I could be.

And then my baby was stillborn. And I continued celebrating Mother's Night, but this time I thanked Frigga for welcoming my baby boy into her halls, hoping that one day I might meet him. And so it went.

This year, I for whatever reason, ran across a Mother's Night post on another platform that mentioned Sigyn - Loki's wife. It talked how she is a mother who is worth mentioning, as her children are driven mad and slain for their father's misdeeds, and how she mourns her sons. How she is considered a goddess of compassion for the grieving.

I had never considered this. But for some reason, it brought me to tears tonight.

I have always had trouble finding information re: the Norse pantheon and their views on stillborn or miscarried babies. I found one or two sources that were probably UPG regarding them going to Frigga's hall, warmed there at her hearth by the mothers who have gone before me, and obviously I've clung to it. I never considered working with other gods who have lost children in general, who might not be at first glance someone considered for a mother/parent type.

I think I need to start an altar piece for Sigyn and Loki.

(edit: it shouldn't need to be said but Nazi/far right/tradwife/quiverfull type folks aren't welcome on my posts. You'll be blocked. Thanks.)

the thing that I love about The Moon Will Sing is that it completely subverts the moon and sun trope, but in a completely believable way that, in my opinion, suits the trope way better.

the moon and sun are in no way equals. the moon is given everything it owns by the sun, and it can be taken away just as quickly. like the lyrics say, 'bore the shadows that you gave with no light of my own.' the moon literally shines only with the light given by the sun.

in this song, the moon and sun are used to depict a toxic relationship rather than a healthy one, the singer being in the moon's position, feeling that their love for someone consumed their own sense of self.

i love that the crane wives don't use the trope as it often is, and instead uses it to fit their own narrative. it's genius writing.

The moon will sing a song for me

I loved you like the sun

Bore the shadows that you made

With no light of my own

I shine only with the light you gave me

I shine only with the light you gave me

(Heyo! Still workin' on part 3 of "Sundae", but I just wanted to get this off of my mind. I'm listenin' to music as I write, right? And then one song in my liked playlist starts, Coyotes by Don Edwards. That song always gets me teary eyed, but in a comforting way, y'know? And it hit me. That's how I want to portray Dogday. That song. Or, at least how it makes me feel. That comforting sadness. In universe, I feel like he'd hear it on a camper's radio, and it'd just stick with him. He'd sing it to the Sundae crew at night, as part of their comfort routines. IDK, I just think it fits him. - JY)

Blessed Imbolc ☀️ The Wheel of the Year turns and Spring comes forth and brighter days are here. I made yogurt flatbread tonight, better late than never I suppose! I hope Spring brings with it happier days, and the change necessary for our lives to continue to prosper.

in light of the recent poll about never love an anchor, the moon will sing is about a child coming to terms with the fact that their parent raised them to be exactly like the parent and they aren't their own person. and little soldiers and allies or enemies are about the complex love/hate relationship that comes with a parent dealing with their child growing older and the distancing that comes with that process. coyote stories is about family. in this essay i will
