The longer i live, the more my skin resembles a tapestry of the heathen ages.

I'm slowly talking myself into a tattoo...

I need it to mean something. It needs to reflect my spiritual awakening and personal growth.

Definitely needs to be pagan or witchcraft related.

Any ideas?

i think i want one of my next tattoos to be inspired by the second merseburg charm but i'm having trouble finding artistic interpretations of it or even thinking about how to explain what i want in case i want to have art commissioned for it or just have the artist come up with something. alternatively i thought about just getting one of the bracteates tatted but i don't knowwww ughhhhhhh help

ok i have a question. ive seen a few different ppl on here talk abt the rising meme abt Noticing Patterns and how that has been used a lot in an innocent autistic way lately but parallels nazi/antisemite dogwhistles about noticing that jews rule the world or whatever. here is my question: wouldn't it be a good thing if the phrase became so commonly used as an innocent meme that it started to lose its efficiency as a dogwhistle? not just with this one particular example, but with the concept in general. like if the whole point of a dogwhistle is that it's something subtle enough for most people not to register there's anything harmful in it, but also something that will immediately let other people in your group know that you're one of them and you share their beliefs.. wouldn't it completely lose that effectiveness if suddenly everyone was saying it, and it ceased to give any clues as to any deeper beliefs? wouldn't it eventually just become the harmless phrase it appears to be?

I’m ready for some snow! ❄️ ❄️ My most popular piece of work, Fenrir, the monster wolf of Norse Mythology. I like the idea of this artwork serving as a sort of sigil. If it speaks to you, you can coordinate apparel, accessories, bottles, leather, etc. So I’m pushing that concept, as I think it’s unique to my work. One of a kind, original Celtic and Norse artwork.

Nidhöggr - Yggdrasil project wip - In Norse mythology, Níðhöggr (Malice Striker, in Old Norse traditionally also spelled Níðhǫggr, often anglicized Nidhogg) is a dragon who gnaws at a root of the world tree, Yggdrasil. In historical Viking society, níð was a term for a social stigma, implying the loss of honor and the status of a villain.

on patreon Convoluted asked for Gender Plasma and Hypothemya mentioned gay heathen deities which summoned Strike, or Lady Stormfather if you're being formal, from the Small Guide world.

Strike is associated with ocean storms, hurricanes, ruined maps, strange new courses, terrifying beauty, shapeshifters, and generally wild sea phenomena near the surface of the water. She is commonly worshiped by queer sailors and seen as a symbol of queer exploration due to stories of Her ever shifting gender presentation whenever She takes human form (She uses she/her in god form purely because Girl Time is her favorite and mixes it up to fit her current human form the rest of the time) and how She's always as gay as possible no matter what she's shifted into. this doesn't have a lot to do with her powers, She's just Like That.

She also seems to reveal Her hidden havens to queer people more often. there are many tales of Her storms sweeping ships to islands that shouldn't exist, and the sailors who feel compelled to come ashore returning to the boat Changed by whatever blessings they find among the patches of glassy sand and the smell of lightning charred trees. some of the changes seem small. a bit of added confidence in their body language, a strange infectious lightness in their eyes like a great weight had been removed, the warm glow of of some satiated need dripping from their every movement. others seem grander, as they greet their old crew mates with altered bodies still flush from being shaped by the wind and rain and new names that taste like the air before a storm. some even come back with guests, emerging from the brush hand in hand with new lovers and friends, all with Lichtenberg figures etched into their skin and stray hairs unruly with static electricity.

some never come back at all. that's how it is with the sea sometimes. the ships are eventually driven back out by a fresh storm and lightning-bright eyes watch the departure from the dark between the trees.

random fun facts: Strike is one of Bathomet's casual on again, off again, paramours and Her sigil animal is a ribbon eel. this is why you'll find artwork of ribbon eels outside of things like seaside gay taverns or tattooed on coastal dwarves. Her favorite offerings are flower petals thrown into the wind right before a storm, shallow dishes of fruit juice or alcohol, and small pieces of metal, preferably silver or copper.
