had already sent this to a mutual of mine but i thought this might be helpful for anyone else who may need it

it’s a tarot spread on how to know what deities are trying to reach out with you and why, works like a charm i swear

have a good night everyone!

Poor quality photo but I moved my queer ancestor altar inside and updated it a bit

Current ideas:

1.) Keep my HRT on the altar so taking it becomes a (more) sacred thing

2.) put pins from queer history on the altar

3. Get pictures of Marsha P Johnson, Sylvia Rivera, Amelio Robles Avila, etc and put them either in frames or in a digital frame on the altar

4. Buy the most dramatic goblet/wine glass I can find to replace the $2 tea cup (I do have a drinking horn but it looked wrong on the altar)

We imagine Loki's punishment in the mouth of the cave. After all, He is the god of many mouths, Hveðrungr, Gullveig's last stop, and Stitchlip. Why would he not be in the mouth?

Because you don't put out a fire by giving it, O Loptr, fine mountain air, sunlight, or wind.

You don't squelch a light with more light. You leave it in darkness to rot.

O, that dark primordial Thing. That cold-blooded Prometheus of the frozen north. How do you kill the deathless? You torture it to finality. Liver meet eagle. Sisyphus get happy. Loki, meet hole. (tale as old as time)

You leave him as deep as you can get him. Deep as the quick, that Blood Gave Loðurr.

And you leave that Goatballed Jester without the only thing he ever wanted. An audience. The sound of laughter. Good company.

And you leave that thrice bound sucker there to rot, wrapped round with the promise that your children, too, will be snuffed out like votive candles. Rot with them now and crawl home to your daughter. Crawling King Snake, welcome home.

That's what makes Sigyn so compelling. Sigyn, Victory Woman, The Thing With Feathers -

Rabbit says; "Joy To The Fettered,"

She flies down the tunnel, she comes heartbroken, she comes alone.

This is an Oubliette - who would choose to come but the Victorious?

This isn't Orpheus come to find her blushing bride.

This is Persephone making her bed with the mother of Monsters.

And she comes out again, from the depths which grant no mercy, with neither light, or joy, or wind, or sky. Just a bowl of poison, thirstier once emptied.

Sigyn, The Thing With Feathers, comes out of the cave and the stink and the rot. And does she stop a moment? Does she breathe the alpine air and sigh and maybe, just maybe, weep?

We know just this. She goes back.

Sigyn, The Thing With Feathers, knows that Nothing Lasts Forever. And someday, we know, all hell breaks loose.

"Loki's family, side profiles"

I couldn't stop thinking about the quote: the first born daughter is always the female version of her father. Which immediately made me think about Angrboda and Loki's daughters! (At least my versions, sorry Moder maybe next time? Also I realized the twins could've been more interesting if I drew their grown versions)

Anyhow, Hel looking like Loki and Trollkvinna looking like Angrboda! Then I decided I should draw everyone else in the family and their unique features. Because side profiles are so fun to draw when I don't struggle, I hope they're not too weird looking! Don't mind the titles I gave them btw ✨

Finished redecorating Angrboða’s altar and figured I’d share! Hail the Lady of the Ironwood!

The pagan community is probably the absolute worst religious community when it comes to acknowledging the autonomy of women

i dont know if i’m pagan or not, just want to get that out of the way!! im still doing research before i do anything, but i do have a question

how do you go about veiling? the images i’ve seen of the different veil styles are honestly very gorgeous, and i wanted to know if you had to be pagan in order for you to do those styles.

another question would be, would any type of head wrap be all right? or does it have to be a specific one? the ones i’ve seen are usually see through ^^

A Dumb question about ancestor worship

So I know ancestor worship is something I’m interested in, but my blood ancestors are, generally speaking, not great people. Do I have to worship blood ancestors or could I worship my LGBTQ+ ancestors? Busts of Elagabalus and Sappho, pictures of Marsha, Sylvia, Stormé, and more, etc..

What is y’all’s opinion on this?

[snakesandstone]

You know what I give Loki a lot of flack for refusing to learn anything from his mistakes but honestly NOTHING my loser failwife did will ever compare to Óðinn motherfucking Borrson basically getting a front-row seat to a cautionary tale about the way that paranoia and distrust will turn those closest to you into strangers and threats in your eyes and ultimately lead to your own downfall - from a man that he raised as a son, no less - and coming out of it going "wow that was fucked up lol, anyways back to imprisoning my bestie's son in a cave somewhere so he doesn't bite my head off like in that one prophesy I saw". Self-awareness in the fucking negatives

Age of Mythology Heroes in Action

Had enough time tonight to knock out another Age of Mythology fanart. From left to right, these heroes are the Norse Valkyrie Reginleif, the Nubian princess Amanra, the Greek warrior Ajax, and the Atlantean admiral Arkantos.
