Spotlight Richard Mason: Arthur Edward Waite & the 'Trinick-Pippet' Tarot Richard Mason returns to discuss A.E. Waite's order, The Fellowship of the Rosy Cross, and the special tarot deck developed for private use in rituals. Waite formed the order in 1915 (during WW1) and enlisted the help of artists and a financial backer to create the tarot 'deck,' that is now housed in the British Museum. Notable in the artwork is the shift from 'magic' to 'mysticism', and this artwork reflects Waite's strong views of a 'secret tradition' - a blend of Christianity with various esoteric concepts.

                     pushed the ❤ on a little sc !!

                                     Her cup was raised in cheers; the hall brimmed with people. Perhaps she and her husband had been lucky; still favoured by the queen and therefore having a seat reserved for them at the table. A feast had been prepared, to welcome the newcomers, her little son pulled on her lap to feed him a little roast before she turned to greet the other woman with a soft, welcoming smile on her lips.  ❝ I’m sure this must be a welcoming sight after the journey here? ❞

"A lot of people are taller than my father. But he is still a better warrior than us all"

"You look so much like your mother." (secrettraditions)

@secrettraditions 

She had been told that before, that and that she should count herself fortunate for taking after her mother. “Thank you.” She smiled, “Do you know her well?” She asked curiously.

"You like Ivar, more than the others. He's like a son to you?" (secrettraditions)

                          ❝  I would not say I like Ivar more than his brothers. I have a great love for all of Ragnar’s sons. Ivar has always been different. Since he was a child he has come to me by the request of his mother. For spiritual guidance, and when he started showing signs of…an advanced mind. I understood him when others could not. I could handle him when he did not have a father to guide him. I did not fear or think less of Ivar for being a cripple, and I was there to stimulate his mind. He is very close to my family…but I know I could never be a father to him. He has only ever thought of Ragnar. ❞

While Helga drinks, Runa plays with a strip of fabric she had been embroidering for the past few days,

“He is an interesting man. He’s a very intelligent man. He built Kattegat’s fleet after all he’s a man I’d like to meet, should he not be too frightened of me.”

                                        ❝ It is often the other way around - ❞  Helga noted, a soft chuckle hiding in the back of her voice as she spoke.  ❝ Floki is not frightened, of anyone. He is just cautious, and doesn’t trust people that easily. He’s had some close friends, but unfortunately most have found death already. --- yet, you are right. I thought the exact same thing before I approached him the first time.  ❞

"I don't think your husband likes anybody but you." (secrettraditions)

some meme I can not remember || NO LONGER ACCEPTING || @secrettraditions

                                      ❝ Perhaps --- He can be quite reserved when it comes to strangers. ❞  Helga said calmly, a cup lifted to her lips as she took a quick sip from the bitter liquid inside. A soft smile lingered on thin lips once she lowered it to her lap, yet curiosity shone as she cast her eyes up.  ❝ He’s always kept his distance, some who don’t know him might even claim he is unsociable. --- but why the sudden interest? ❞

                      (   ---  MUFFLED SCREAMING.   ) ???  -- hello yes, I passed the 1k followers this weekend and I’ve just been pinching myself because how? I’m honestly speechless because when I made this blog 2,5 years ago I never thought it would still be a thing now but boooy look at me now.  ( trash extraordinaire ). I know I already made a bias list when I celebrated my two years here, but a lot has changed since then and I honestly just want to give you all my love ?!? Thank you, thank you all so much for sticking with me and Helgs for all these years now. I owe you dears all so much you have no idea ❤

     ELSKR.  ( beloved ) Those who I stalk 24/7, and stalk me back 24/7. Not a day goes by where I do not talk or rp with them for hours straight and Gods I honestly don’t know what I would do without them in my life ???

@flokithetrickster  ---  MY TRASH WIFE, Muts extraordinaire && delicious partner in crime. I love Elle way too much. She is the Floki to my Helga && the one reason I write Helga how I write her today. Both me and Helga would be lost without her and Floki. She’s been by my side for almost 2 years now and I honestly still can’t believe how lucky I am to have found her and that she allowed me to rub Helga all over her. Both OOC && IC, she dragged me through some of the worst moments of my life and we would not be here today if it wasn’t for her ❤

@swcrnprotector --- undead™ zweefteef central over here. Having known each other for years already, maybe spoken 1 or 2 words over the course of 3 years and then BAM things.  ( aka vikings happened ). I honestly do not deserve her and her goodness and strawberry vodka. Pure quality and pure trash in one cuddable package here. I love her sm && I couldn’t have been luckier to have her around.

     SKULDALIÐ.  ( family ) People I am proud to call my friends, those I know I can go to both IC && OOC without even hesitating. You guys mean so much to me, and I’m so blessed to have met you ❤ thank you for always having been there for me && Helgs.
