Being queer and religious is so fucking difficult. If you're queer and religious I see you, and I love you. Don't let anyone take your faith from you 🧡

Our rose bush is in full bloom and Bealtaine/the Floralia is right around the corner and you all know what that means! Time to toss some in a Mason jar with fresh strawberries and wine.

Honestly infusions like this are such an easy way to make a cheap wine feel fancy and I absolutely 100% recommend trying it if you haven't.

Hail Njord, god of commerce and the sea, father of Freyr and Freyja.

Lots of love to all my enby friends!

You are valid. 💛🤍💜🖤

Let's all take a moment today to remember that pre-Christian cultures around the world celebrated and revered the fluidity of gender expression!

We stand with our LGBTQIA2S+ communities. Bigotry will always be met with a ban.

a rare personal update: after years of study and service to my community, I'm being ordinated as a priestex of Sylvan Hearth (our temple's tradition) soon, and am considered one already for the majority of technical purposes like leading classes and general clergy tasks (getting enough of the temple together for an ordination ceremony is even more challenging than a sabbat; gathering pagans is like herding cats!)

it's an exciting development for me!! I led our last Yule sabbat, complete with updating our ritual to eliminate the gender binary assignments, and it went over extremely well. folks were invited to choose a role (firestarter or firekeeper) based on archetypes, rather than the "men make fire! women tend fire!" of the past. everyone was happy to align to one or the other, and folks of all genders ended up on both sides. it felt like a much more comfortable metaphor 🔥

The nazis that you see in movies are as much a historical fantasy as vikings with horned helmets and samurai cutting people in half.

The nazis were not some vague evil that wanted to hurt people for the sake of hurting them. They had specific goals which furthered a far right agenda, and they wanted to do harm to very specific groups, (largely slavs, jews, Romani, queer people, communists/leftists, and disabled people.)

The nazis didn't use soldiers in creepy gas masks as their main imagery that they sold to the german people, they used blond haired blue eyed families. Nor did they stand up on podiums saying that would wage an endless and brutal war, they gave speeches about protecting white Christian society from degenerates just like how conservatives do today.

Nazis weren't atheists or pagans. They were deeply Christian and Christianity was part of their ideology just like it is for modern conservatives. They spoke at lengths about defending their Christian nation from godless leftism. The ones who hated the catholic church hated it for protestant reasons. Nazi occultism was fringe within the party and never expected to become mainstream, and those occultists were still Christian, none of them ever claimed to be Satanists or Asatru.

Nazis were also not queer or disabled. They killed those groups, before they had a chance to kill almost anyone else actually. Despite the amount of disabled nazis or queer/queer coded nazis you'll see in movies and on TV, in reality they were very cishet and very able bodied. There was one high ranking nazi early on who was gay and the other nazis killed him for that. Saying the nazis were gay or disabled makes about as much sense as saying they were Jewish.

The nazis weren't mentally ill. As previously mentioned they hated disabled people, and this unquestionably included anyone neurodivergent. When the surviving nazi war criminals were given psychological tests after the war, they were shown to be some of the most neurotypical people out there.

The nazis weren't socialists. Full stop. They hated socialists. They got elected on hating socialists. They killed socialists. Hating all forms of lefitsm was a big part of their ideology, and especially a big part of how they sold themselves.

The nazis were not the supervillians you see on screen, not because they didn't do horrible things in real life, they most certainly did, but because they weren't that vague apolitical evil that exists for white American action heros to fight. They did horrible things because they had a right wing authoritarian political ideology, an ideology that is fundamentally the same as what most of the modern right wing believes.

Been working on more Pride Mjölnirs~ What other flags would ya'll like to see?

[ravenousnightwind]

Queer Pagans Unite! Rainbow Hammer Power!!!!

Since I've seen an uprise in t*rfs tonight, I'm going to go ahead and give everyone a reminder:

If you are trans, the gods will still love you the same.

If you are a trans activist fightings for trans rights, the gods will still love you the same.

If you are gender non-conforming, the gods will still love you the same.

No matter what gender you identify as, the gods will still love you the same, and anyone who says otherwise can literally kiss my ass. 🧡✨

doing my makeup while stoned out of my mind is one of my favorite ways of practicing self care 🩷🍃

Rules for the Woods

Always carry something for trade, something for protection and something for offering.

Unpopular Opinion Time

The doodle you make or the picrew you use, the poorly executed poetry or basic bare bones prayer will ALWAYS be better than AI generated offerings.

I am sick of having my feed flooded with practitioners, pagans and other polytheists using AI. Specifically deities like Brigid should never be offered AI in my opinion, it’s essentially a slap in the face.

AI generated spells aren’t shit, it’s what a computer assumes will work based off of what it can gather from internet trends and research. MAKE IT YOURSELF, ask a human for help anything but AI.

There is no place for Artificial Intelligence in these spaces.
