#no frith with fascists

[drafty-castle]

Didn’t Thor get talked into dressing up in bridal regalia to get his hammer back? Like, dude doesn’t mind cross dressing (and given he’d probably look more like a modern heavy weight lifter or hard laborer than Chris Hemsworth, I motion that would Thor make a lovely Drag Queen; all in favor?). His father is canonically* gender fluid. His father’s blood brother canonically* is gender fluid. The entire concept of masculinity back then doesn’t even translate to modern norms. Worshipping/admiring him as a god of non-toxic masculinity wouldn’t be out of line but otherwise this is stupid.

** I’m using the word canon here loosely given there’s pretty much no writings about Norse mythology actually written by the Norse. Most everything we’ve got is written by Christians’ interpreting oral traditions after conversion. So, you know, ymmv on the canon of Snorri’s Eddas vs Saxo Grammaticus vs any other saga out there. shrug emoji

This is your daily reminder that Freyr’s association with masculinity/virility has no historical roots whatsoever, and is wobbly as best. No such concept exists in the perception that scholars have of him today. Some sources attest that he was depicted with a prominent phallus, and the artifacts that history has left us with corroborate this. The phallic symbol is a common one in multiple traditions, representing fertility, in this case, fertility of the land and fertility among couples. Depending on the place and time, it was also believed that Freyr’s domain extended to wealth, celebration and prosperity. As for masculinity? I would be quite surprised if any evidence of such a concept in his cult was found. Same goes for Thórr, also cited by certain websites as a “God of masculinity”, for a reason that’s always eluded my understanding. His proficiency in fighting the jotnar in myth have seemingly prompted this interpretation. What I'll say is that it's peculiar to see this narrative pushed at the forefront of their myth by online sources, despite actual scholarly observations going against the idea of a "God of masculinity" even existing in nordic oral tradition.

Which is why I personally have a some trouble with sources citing this or that deity as being a “God of masculinity”, or “Goddess of femininity”, especially when it comes to norse paganism. It's reminiscent of the Wiccan concept of “divine feminine” and “divine masculine”, a way to conceptualize the divine which I’ve always found quite heteronormative and restricting.

tw: mentions of abuse and the effects of abuse on me personally

loki has made his/their way into my practice. and I feel… scared? I have heard from a lot of practitioners that he can very blunt, and being a victim of abuse, I don’t take harshness or bluntness very well.

I don’t remember most of it so I always tell myself that it probably wasn’t that bad or that maybe it never happened. it’s been over a decade since I got out of there, but I still talk about it. but I feel bad. like maybe I should just stop talking about it so much because I feel like “I’m making it my whole personality.”

that childhood trauma and inner child healing may be what they want to help me with, along with maybe getting in touch with my intuition and maybe even clairs. also confidence, boundaries, self love, embracing my queerness.

i am scared that they going to tell me something that I need to but don’t want to hear. and if I can’t handle what loki says, then they will leave and not want anything to do with me. I really don’t want that and I’m terrified.

No Frith with Fascists!

"If aware that another is wicked, say so:

Make no truce or treaty with foes."

[satanicallypanicky]

the god of rebellion against unjust authority and his followers are wide awake, baby

Hail Satan. No frith with fascists.

an Odinist with 88 in their username liked one of my reblogs so apparently I need to tap the sign that says “the Allfather is called that for a fucking reason, you’re not an edgelord you’re a pathetic loser who is afraid of people who are different from you, reconstructed paganism by its very nature is an open and inclusive practice, hospitality kindness and curiosity are our gods’ highest values, Nazis get fed to Niðhoggr, no frith with fascists, get bent and get blocked”

[dreamerofdust]

just spent 10 minutes typing out an apology to my ancestors to post on here, but then I realized I just wanted to journal but didn’t know what to journal. and then i realized this shits really personal so maybe it’d be too personal to post on here.

ivy, 19, they/them. southern england. student

beginner witchling thing. weird syncretic ? eclectic ? christo-pagan ball of yarn going on with my beliefs. who even knows, i tread my own path through this remote neck of the woods, trying not to trip over tree roots in the process

currently hyperfixated on norse mythology/'heathenry' after getting a knock on the proverbial door from one controversial deity. expect a lot of That

mainly a blog to collect resources and references that i don't want cluttering my main. doesn't mean that my main will be completely devoid of spiritual/religious content, but this one's for saving knowledgeable people's long wordy posts and reblogging quotes and links and spells and upg and devotional art, et cetera et cetera

learning is an eternal process so don't be a snobbish git — call me one of today's lucky ten thousand. oh, and, if it weren't obvious from the pronouns: no frith with fascists, nazi cunts aren't welcome here, no terfs on my turf, blah blah cliche, dickheads dni. all your gods are queer. stay mad

well that about covers it

And some people STILL don't get it 🙃

Sadly relevant.

FYI recent anon: any asks you send me justifying fascism, calling anti-racism fascism, or any other fascism apologia, will get insta-deleted

No frith with fascists and no platform for fascist apologia

[skadi-gemini]

For some reason, I hadn’t bothered to see if there were any pagan blogs here! But lo! There upon the fjord! I see a drakkar in the distance with a bunch of Heathens at the helm! And there be Huginn and Munnin, riding the winds!

I don’t really post much about it and merely mention it in passing, but I’ve been a practicing Norse Pagan for eight years. I’ve sworn an oath to Skadi to venerate her. I do love and build frith with all of the Old Ones, but I’ve leaned the most to Skadi. Her story helped me to stand up for myself and what I believe in.

I founded a kindred with another local in my area and have been running it for five years now! We’ve come from a humble beginning where we discussed all that we would want in our kindred to now where we had a Rede, a member elected governing council to help run things! Our first Yule, four years ago, had over 50 people in attendance! That was where I also made my first holiday turkey!

I’ve made a lot of friends and even endured local pagan drama! Phew! What a mess that was. 🫠

I never was successfully brainwashed into Christianity and was pretty lost until I happened on Norse mythology as a kid. It wasn’t until adulthood where I found that there are people who practice Norse Paganism. I was even more shocked that it had survived even through the Christian efforts to erase it, just quieter and passed down simply as “the old ways”. It’s been a humbling experience finding the path that’s right for me. An equally exciting discovery, was that I have ancestry in Sweden and Denmark!

So, by me being on this path, I’m reclaiming (part) of my ancestral roots. The Christians didn’t win. And neither will these Neo-Nazi shitheads from co-opting these ancient symbols for their hate.

I also want to clear up any misconceptions. I’m not one of those dirtbags. Odin is the ALL father, not the SOME father. There are no nazis in Valhol, nor are there fascists and racists. Only those slain in battle get in Valhalla anyway, and they’re the ones who are passed up by Freyja and not chosen for Folkvangr.

Hail the Old Gods!

No frith with fascists!

Nazis will never be welcome in paganism. They have no space in our communities, we will have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to nazis. You have no right to the cultures, gods and religions you hijack to spread your disgusting ideologies. You will find no refuge or comraderie amongst pagans.

Reblog to let nazis know they’re not welcome here.

[anarcha-heathenry]

Hey, it’s been a fucking while and i’m sorry about that.

I didn’t mean to be gone for so long with no communication, and I don’t have much of a reason or explanation for it other than that I was a lot more burned out and needed a lot more of a break than I thought. And also just, y’know, life is a lot. First things first, though!

This is an antifascist space: Fascists of any kind (including but not limited to: neonazis, terfs and other transphobes, and cops), their politics, and their rhetoric are not welcome here and i sincerely wish them all nothing but the absolute fucking worst: [REDACTED], you fucken maggots.

So, i’m back, kinda, but probably not the same as before: I still feel burned out tbh just, like, all the time and I don’t think I can go back to running NGC like I used to, so, some changes i’ve considered and am most likely gonna implement from now on:

idk if i’ll still take requests. Right now i’m thinking i’ll leave things open for people to make requests but most of them probably won’t get done unless inspiration just hits me for them in particular - i’m sorry if that’s disappointing, i’ve really enjoyed writing pieces for you all but it’s just not something i think i can continue to consistently provide to all/most requests that get made: it’s a lot of emotional and creative labour on my part and i just can’t provide that anymore - i’ll do what I can, but that’s all I can offer.

I probably won’t answer questions about religious practice and related topics so much from now on: again, i’ve really enjoyed it but I just don’t have the energy to commit consistently to it anymore - if something particularly piques my interest and inspires me to write about it then sure, but otherwise, just like with requests, i’ll do what i can.

I’m thinking of changing the name? Norse God Calls just doesn’t really vibe for me anymore… Idk, we’ll see.

The pieces that I write going forward are definitely gonna feature and focus much more specifically on antifascist, queer, and anarchist concepts and sentiments.

The majority of my creative labour is focused on my fiction writing now but I am still absolutely drawn and compelled to create spiritual pieces of writing for Norse Pagan practice and I still want to share them, so I will, but I can’t promise any more than that.

What I mainly want to do here now is just have a place to share the pieces that I write, when I happen to write them, with no pressure to try and be consistently engaged or engaging because as much as i’ve enjoyed that engagement in the past I simply don’t have the capacity to continue like that anymore; honestly, I don’t think I had the capacity for it before either, hence the burnout.

Thank you to all of you who have supported and appreciated the writing I’ve shared here, and I hope you’ll continue to even after such a long break and a future of likely sporadic updates/posts going forward.

No Frith for Fascists! ACAB, ACAB, ACAB! 161 Trans Rights are Human Rights! Queer Liberation now! Fire to the Prisons and Colonies! Land Back! Class War! Capitalism is a deathcult, Communism will win.

intro post, like if read

The Basics:

this is a side blog of @theonewhocounts

I'm 33 years old, white, transmasc genderqueer (they/he pronouns), and autistic.

this blog is for my spirituality. theistic Satanism, Anglo-Saxon heathenry, and eclectic paganism mostly, but I'm going to reblog all sorts of religious stuff that strikes my fancy or educates me about other faiths.

I am an anarcho-syndicalist and hold no frith with fascists. Radical inclusion or bust.

I do divination with tarot and oracle cards, dice, runes, and obsidian mirrors. Open for requests.

if you're interested in joining a small diverse discord server for theistic satanists of all sorts, hit me up for the invite link.

i tag answered asks with #ask

DNI, I guess?

Nazis, TERFs, antisemites, folkists, and any other such motherfuckers can fuck directly off into the sun.

Proselytizers of any stripe, including Christians who would like to convince me to "return to the Lord" or whathaveyou. No thanks.

I block porn blogs and fetish Satanists. Not because I don't like porn (I assure you, that's not the case) but because I don't want my devil-worshipping to be sexualized. Follow me from your non-porn accounts or don't follow me.

I block Lilith worshippers. I respect Judaism and Jewish culture as closed. Lilith is Not For Us. For full reasoning, see this ask.

The Somewhat Less Basics:

I'm white. My ancestry is predominately from Germanic and "British Isles", but I was raised entirely "privileged American WASP". Despite being exiled from that family and experiencing poverty and homeless as a teen and adult, my background shapes my worldview.

Given my settler-colonialist heritage, I make a conscious attempt to stay out of closed practices and appropriately honor the land upon which I live.

I was raised Anglican/Episcopalian, Lutheran, and Catholic (it's complicated).

I am an eclectic pagan and polytheist. I got started in paganism through genealogical research and an ancestral connection to Englisc/Anglo-Saxon heathenry (folkists GTFO) so most of my worship is conducted through that framework of practice.

I think most/all gods are real and powerful, but I am somewhat choosy about the ones I choose to honor and worship for myself. I suppose that makes me henotheist.

I am a theistic Satanist- I worship Satan as a god of rebellion and opposition, rejection of authoritarianism, justice, and forbidden knowledge (amongst other things). I worship several other gods and/or demons as aspects or very close counterparts of Satan. Further information can be found in this ask.

I venerate my ancestors and honor the spirits and wights of the land and the home.

I have no ill will towards Christians as individuals. Satan is the Adversary of the Christian god, however, and so there are things upon which Christians and myself will fundamentally disagree. And that's okay.

I hold some Buddhist practices & philosophy very close to my heart.

The Gods I Honor

Satanic “Pantheon”

Satan

Asmodeus

Azazel

Belial

Leviathan

Lucifer

Fyrnsidu (Englisc/Anglo-Saxon Heathen) Pantheon

I am more than happy to answer questions about my spirituality and what sorts of weird religious shit I get up to. Hit me up.

“Around us, life bursts with miracles--a glass of water, a ray of sunshine, a leaf, a caterpillar, a flower, laughter, raindrops. If you live in awareness, it is easy to see miracles everywhere. Each human being is a multiplicity of miracles. Eyes that see thousands of colors, shapes, and forms; ears that hear a bee flying or a thunderclap; a brain that ponders a speck of dust as easily as the entire cosmos; a heart that beats in rhythm with the heartbeat of all beings. When we are tired and feel discouraged by life's daily struggles, we may not notice these miracles, but they are always there.” -Thích Nhất Hạnh

NO FRITH WITH FASCISTS !!

This is not news, but it is an important read, especially for people who were previously unaware of the trend of neo-Nazis stealing pagan symbols for their own.

If you are an anti-racist, anti-fascist pagan, keep doing what you are doing, you are keeping the fight alive

If you are an anti-racist, anti-fascist person who is not a pagan, help us spread the word of this, stand in solidarity with us as we kick the fascists out of our communities

If you are a fascist pagan, fuck off, this faith is a peaceful one

No platforms for fascists.
