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.

I can't quite describe my feelings, it wasn't as if my tree (Holle's tree) was indeed cut down, but almost like it had been replaced by this statue. My sadness wasn't as great as it would have been but it was there. It was a nice sculpture, but not my tree. I started wondering if I could go to the neighbors & request to plant a new apple tree in their woods, as a sort of tribute to Holle to replace the missing tree. I'm painfully shy but I wanted to do it. I was still undecided when the dream ended.
Upon awakening I saw similarities to real-world thoughts. Holle's apple tree. The Irminsul & its fate. I also wondered about Ewiger Jäger as I'd been thinking about him & had just set up his offering on the Irminsul. In the dream, one symbol was replaced by another, & then I was pondering how to do another replacement. A redesign...? Like the Irminsul? Ewiger Jäger & Holle aren't traditionally associated with the Irminsul BUT there are loose, similar connections, especially if you buy the theory that Holle is associated with Frikka & Ewiger Jäger is associated with Wotan, of whom Irmin is supposed to be an aspect. (Urglaawe seems to reject this theory. I'm used to seeing cognates in myths of various cultures, I believe Holle/Frikka & Ewiger Jäger/Wotan likely have a common source but differentiated over time, kind of like how Hathor & Sakhmet from Egyptian myth are different yet sometimes the same.) I also came across a reference to Holle & a rooster in a tree, I believe, I meant to cover it but forgot & will need to try to find it again someday. Anyway that's when I was seeking ties between the Saxon Irminsul & the Norse Yggdrasil, & the Pennsylvania Dutch "tree of life," as I assume they too are connected.
...
Anyway that's my brain wondering if I'm being signaled to do something, by Ewiger Jäger or Holle or who, though I'm unsure what. Maybe something about the apple tree or Irminsul.
I'm losing my focus so that's all for now. #spirituality #heathenry

I hurried out & looked for the apple tree. So worried to dread. Miraculously, it was still there!--yet changed. At first, it was like when you buy a Christmas tree with the branches all tied down with twine or whatever?--the branches were all pulled up to the top, & leafless (possibly naturally). It was also leaning back at a slant as if it had been partly uprooted. Yet it was still there & alive. I was saddened to see its rough state but relieved that it was there. I went over to it & put my forehead against its base & offered a sort of small mental thanksgiving. Then noticed something odd. The base wasn't roots, but a large old ceramic square of some kind, like a platform.
I looked up at the tree again. It had changed. Wasn't a half-uprooted denuded apple tree with its branches all up, but this ceramic base, with a tall metal art sculpture of some sort. Greenish/verdigris, gently twisted metal bars in a vaguely eight or infinity or hourglass-style design, hard to describe as I didn't take a good look. It was about the same height the dream tree had been, maybe 8-10ft tall, though tilted far back & almost lying on its side. I knew the neighbors meant to set it up as a sort of art installation.
Ugh, my dumb drawing can't do it justice but it's all I have. Cont. #spirituality #heathenry

Anyway, I said I'd mention a dream, sorry about all that.
In my dream, I went outside, it seemed to be summer as the trees were in full leaf & seemed dark green though it was quite gloomy, evening maybe, & the neighbors in the woods had been leaf blowing their yard like in reality. I noticed that while the big trees were still standing (I've had dreams they were all cut/knocked down), the undergrowth had been cleared out, it was green & nice in some spots & lovely to look at without all the bushes & leaf litter but this meant all the small/young trees had been removed. So I had mixed feelings.
Also I knew this had been done as a bunch of kids had moved in with the neighbors. I think there was play equipment in the yard or something. I went in the garage, maybe to feed the stray cat, & looked out the garage window, which overlooks the woods near the neighbors' house. Out this window I saw that the neighbors had constructed a wooden treehouse high up with ladder steps leading to it & also like a wooden waterslide or one of those enclosed slides you find on playgrounds. I knew I'd already seen a rudimentary treehouse but this was much more elaborate. I noticed how the structure swayed a bit in the wind. It was really nice, but again I lamented the pristine woods being changed like this. I had mixed feelings of wanting to explore it, & of wishing it was never there.
I remembered a small tree that used to stand by the garage (a real tree/bush, it was pretty much stripped to a stick in the ice storm but was still there in the dream) & looked toward it. It was gone, cut down as I'd feared. I was saddened. Then with dread I thought of the apple tree! Please please have not cut down the apple tree. 😭 I left the garage to go look.

Anyway. It's hard enough finding things to honor Frau Holle with. Ewiger Jäger? You can pretty much forget it. He's not well known at all so there's really not much out there for him. I've had limited luck searching for Holle on Etsy, for example (she's beloved in Germany, especially Hessen, I believe, probably due to the Brothers Grimm), but Ewiger Jäger, nope. He's much more region specific, I guess; the Wild Hunt is usually associated with, say, Wotan/Odin.
So I can't really set up much of a space for him. I just let him borrow Holle's, I guess. Yesterday at Walmart I found these adorable little candle holders with antlers on them & thought, that looks like a nice offering spot, it isn't standard though Ewiger Jäger is occasionally depicted with horns. I brought it home so afraid I'd break it. 😩 First set it on my wooden box but then noticed it fits nicely in the offering spot on the Irminsul so I placed it there & put the apple in it, so I'm not taking that offering away, just adding to it. (The apple is from the apple tree I've referenced previously. Took it a bit early as its lone surviving companion apple went missing.) I've also previously gone over how I know this depiction of the Irminsul is problematic, & I wish somebody would design a new one free of fashy nonsense, but that's for another day.
In any case this is how things currently stand for honoring Ewiger Jäger, I haven't many other ideas. Cont. #spirituality #heathenry

Dream I had while napping earlier, seems significant though I haven't figured out how yet.
For context I recently learned of the Urglaawe (reconstructed Pennsylvania Dutch heathenry, I'm not an Urglaawer, I don't do specific rituals due to my OCD & I have no community to belong to but I like to learn) holiday of Alleleweseel/Allelieweziel, it's complicated for my stupid brain but it seems to involve Frau Holle departing to take over the Wild Hunt for the winter season while the usual leader of the Hunt, Der Ewiger Jäger (the Eternal Hunter), takes her place looking after folk on earth, like they switch out over the seasons, I did not know this. I figured that since Holle is a winter being she's here in the winter and gone in the summer but I guess it makes sense? Anyway, I feel I got a sign from Frau Holle a couple of years back, so I set up a little space in my room for her. I don't feel her constantly, alas, but that sign was convincing enough for me that she's out there somewhere.
I've been seeking a masculine/father figure being without much luck so far. I appealed to Ewiger Jäger to look out and provide for us in tough times since he took that role in some Pennsylvania Dutch stories (dissimilar to the behavior typically associated with the Wild Hunt), but haven't a feeling whether he's accepted or rejected it. I tell myself this is going to be a long tough period (at least 4yrs...you know what I'm talking about) so maybe I won't know that he's done this job until after...? In any case, my interest in him was piqued again after learning that he supposedly returns to earth to protect people through the winter while Holle is away, at least if I'm understanding correctly, I'm kind of a moron so I could be getting it wrong though I have no one to ask.
I don't know the exact date of Alleleweseel/Allelieweziel so I chose Halloween to wish Holle goodbye for now & I hope Ewiger Jäger steps in in the meantime. 😕 Cont. #spirituality #heathenry

Well, while I'm stuck waiting for my meds... 😑 ...here's what I placed under my window where the book towers were. A shrine/altar/whatever to Frau Holle & my Pennsylvania Dutch ancestors! Everything here has some meaning. E. g. the little box w/ the ship on it is German & reminds me of how Conrad first came here in 1767 perhaps on a similar ship. The little redware plate is from a Pennsylvania artist & the ship & fish remind me of the Herrings. I found the tacky Deutschland stein in my dad's room, I assume my brother bought it in Fulda. And there are the Frau Holle figures, & all my books on Saxon/Anglo-Saxon heathenry & the Pennsylvania Dutch. Etc.
Before anyone freaks out: I know that depiction of the Irminsul is highly problematic. I await when someone designs a better one. Also, yes, those are books about Nazis still awaiting a shelf. They're related to my writing, plus I like to stay informed of when history repeats itself. Unfortunately. 😒 #heathenry #spirituality

I've got a huge announcement to make!
This coming April 27th I will be giving a presentation at the Harvard Divinity School's Program for the Evolution of Spirituality on confronting White supremacy in Heathenry. It is part of a larger conference on alternative spiritualities engaging in our colonial and decolonial contexts with lots of presentations scheduled that I highly recommend.
The best part is this conference is free to attend, both in-person and online via Zoom.
All of the necessary information, including registering and the conference schedule, can be found at the following link:

Please don't support Ocean Keltoi or Wolf the Red. They have a history of being abusive to other pagans/Heathens. They've ended up backstabbing most of the smaller pagan/Heathen communities that they've collaborated with.
This expose document has been circulating on Twitter for a while, but it's about time it's shared in the Fediverse. https://docs.google.com/document/d/12y-wu7BF8XPWvTVvD0uWLBolccXSq1wYHgkINK1pJxY/edit?usp=drivesdk
Please boost for visibility, we need to get the word out about these abusive pagans.

I can't speak for @Rekkert, but I am a big fan of #Tactile switches. My main board at the moment is a #GMMKPro with Glorious Panda switches, but I also have an #NK65 #Milkshake which uses some super smooth linear switches.
The NK65 is basically my "travel board" and comes to the Office with me. -

I think tomorrow I will do a Divination for #ProjektLunarSigil and maybe evoke a few of the #FortyServants to help boost the signal of the project.
Not participating in the project? You should! We're crafting and posting one sigil (or bind rune or witch's rune, whatever you call your symbolic magick) every day from December 14th - December 20th. Draft your Intent, give that a Form, but don't try to charge it up.
On December 21st (Yule) everyone on the Project will do a Mass Charging of every Sigil on the Hash Tag! The goal is to bring as much Weird as possible to the Fediverse by way of a significant amount of energy (whatever you call it) flowing into it at one time.

I lIke your drawings!
Modern Heathens celebrate Mother's Night, usually on the 20th - the eve of the Solstice. It's a celebration of both our physical mothers and the Mother Goddesses, in particular, Frigg in her role as the primary Mother Goddess.
(A side note to that: In recent years, I've actually heard some Heathens who've apparently been lnspired by Marvel's comic book portrayal of Frigg/Freya [who they often conflate 🙄] as the All-Mother. No idea what I think about that!)
It's also a time to reflect on the work of the year. That stems from the theory that on Mother's Night for the old Norse, women were to have completed all of their spinning and weaving for the year, and the holiday was also the start of a break in their usual Fibre work until the new year started.
