I started writing on a notepad among the scattered items on the altar. "You still owe me a wish!" Except I kept messing it up. I tore off the page, tried finding a new clean page, but each had a bit of writing presumably by the guy behind the speaker; random notes & such. I found a different notepad, kept trying, kept messing up--mangled the 1st word, wrote too small, not enough room on the page, etc. I think this is because you can almost never read the same thing twice in a dream, though I usually don't have trouble writing. I think I was just getting too fed up to continue, though I believe this is where the dream ended anyway.
...
A fragment of a longer dream I had yesterday(?) featured me finding a small gold ship figurine, a 3-masted one I think, & putting it on my bookshelf as a reminder of my Palatine ancestors immigrating here. Upon awakening this reminded me of another recent dream. (Cont.) #spirituality #heathenry

OK, anyway...
I never got the chance to tell the guy my 3rd wish! I was a bit disappointed, but given how unhelpful he'd been w/ the 1st 2, it didn't seem like much of a loss. Still. I decided to leave him a note saying, "You still owe me a wish!" & maybe also my name or e-mail so he'd know who it was. It was intended in a mildly jokey, accusing manner; not angry or malicious. I reasoned that my 3rd wish, whatever it may have been, was the most expendable of the 3 anyway & I could do without.
(What was the wish? I don't know. Most likely IRL, though, would've been something to do w/ my dad. A connection to him even though he's gone, or for him to be content somewhere, or to be proud of me. Alternately, it could have done w/ ancestors in general; I've considered looking to my ancestor Widukind as a father figure, but don't know that he's a decent one, he kind of bailed out on the Saxons. Either way, I'll never know for sure.) (Cont.) #spirituality #heathenry

These porcelain or ceramic figures were now bigger than what could've been contained in my rock, but anyway. There were about 3-5 humanlike figures, I think one was a feminine figure like Mary, the others male, kings or saints maybe; & also whatever they were gathered around (a boxlike thing, I think). They were mostly white with a bit of color, shiny glazed, wearing robes. They were neatly fractured apart but in a way that could be easily fixed, at least at 1st...as I revealed them, I held them up & tilted them to empty debris from their insides, & 1 or 2 had a lot of small chips, I worried that they'd crumbled apart so I was more careful. I was surprised to find this old religious figurine hidden inside my rock. The guy near me seemed rather impressed too.
I think I realized then that the guy on the speaker had given up trying to respond to my wish & had left. Likewise the line was gone, just the big guy & me. (Cont.) #spirituality #heathenry

We both looked at my rock. Flattened out somewhat. "Like it's clay," I exclaimed, realizing it wasn't a rock at all. The big guy said something, "It looks like a _____." I don't recall the term, if it was even a real term, but it was reference to a particular type of early religious iconography, a sort of small statue or tableau which typically featured a few specific figures from religious belief, gathered in a group, perhaps around a centerpiece--baby Jesus maybe, or a shrine. It was early Christian but from the period where Christianity was still heavily borrowing from paganism, sort of Christian mystic tradition. Not the strict doctrinal Christianity of today.
I picked up my "rock" & started peeling bits of it away--it was indeed a clay layer now, concealing a hollow porcelain(?) figure underneath. As I pulled away the brownish-gray clay it was revealed, broken(?) into a few pieces. (Cont.) #spirituality #heathenry

I started getting distracted as I wasn't having luck deciphering whatever this guy was stammering. Now on the altar (or whatever this table was) near me was a rock, hefty but you could lift it in 1 hand. A guy came up beside me w/ what I think was a MUCH bigger rock, would've been impossible to carry but anyway, just huge thing. He slowly set it down on the altar (seriously, it was probably bigger than the altar but you know how dreams are, it's like it got smaller as he lowered it) & it began to crush my rock. I protested a little but not too much, was more surprised than dismayed, as my "rock" didn't break apart, just started to squish/flatten. 🤔
The guy noticed my reaction & I think he lifted his boulder off of my rock. He was a big guy, stout/chubby w/ a big gut, fair skinned, thick curly(?) brownish hair & beard, maybe glasses, a bit unkempt & nerdy. The kind you'd find at a geeky convention or something. (Cont.) #spirituality #heathenry

A Poem for Freyja
Your voice so smooth
Pulls me awake
From the depths of dreams
The bottom of a lakeYour golden tears
Restore my second sight
Through the groves of dark bramble
I see Brísingamen’s lightThrough that darkness
When stillness holds my name
You guide my vision
Igniting the flameMagic and power
Your wisdom awakens
A rushing stream
My soul shakenDrowning my old form
Emerging something new
Shedding this skin
Into what you always knewGreat Lady
In thanks I give
Gifts of honey and amber
A new life to liveBlog post here: https://thunderwitchofthewoods.wordpress.com/2023/02/24/a-poem-for-freyja/

Óminnishegri heitir
sá er yfir ölðrum þrumir,
hann stelr geði guma; þess fugls fjöðrum
ek fjötraðr vark í garði Gunnlaðar.The mind-stealing heron hovers over feasts
waiting to seize men's wits;
that bird's feathers fettered me
when I came to Gunnlod's court.Stanza 13 of the Hávamál
So it wasn’t the mead that caused it, it was the mind-stealing heron — riiight. I can relate.

I’ve been seeing people celebrating #SunWait the last few years and wondered where it came from all of a sudden, so I googled it and found this video which is a nice explanation of it, and a how-to guide

This is such a good video. The Heathen celebration of Yule by Ocean Keltoi (is he on Mastodon yet?)

Hello, all. I want to help pagan groups organize locally and collaborate widely along open source and federated models. No walled gardens or power structures, just community support and collaboration. Everything from society bylaws to spiritual discussion guides to rituals, all open and free.
I'm writing with the aim of publishing on substack soon (for free) and I would love to hear in the meantime from anyone who thinks this could be productive.
I'm also hoping to start such a group in Nova Scotia in the next year.

When newly appointed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth addressed U.S. troops in September with his now-infamous challenge to “get fit, get in line, or get out,” he framed his message as a “come-to-Jesus meeting.”
The speech, delivered at Quantico and amplified through conservative media, echoed themes of discipline, masculinity, and ideological purity. “We don’t have a military full of Nordic Pagans,” he declared—linking physical appearance, faith, and patriotism in a way that startled many service members and religious observers alike.
The courage to serve: Heathen soldiers respond to Hegseth’s “Nordic Pagans” insult #uspol #politics #heathenry #spirituality
