Hail Freya, it's Friday! Time for a #FridayPaganPoll:
Today I'm thinking about archetypal gods of war, and how they seem to be common within polytheism and monotheisms. Whether humans are a reflection of the gods, or vice versa, it is evident that war has always been a huge part of the human condition.
Do you worship/work with any deity in their aspect as a god of war?

Hail Freya, it's Friday! Time for a #FridayPaganPoll:
Today I'm wondering what portion of polytheists practice 'devotional polytheism.' This term popped up in pagan spaces fairly recently, within the last decade or so. It's used as a way to differentiate those who are more religious, who say prayers and give regular offerings to their gods, vs. those who believe in many gods and/or spirits, but don't necessarily worship them religiously.
So, what kind of polytheist are you?

The path is both one and many, as the trunk of a tree spreads out into numerous branches that stretch in all directions, so that one may follow the lore into countless byways and alleys ripe with mysteries.

That spiritual path which does not honour the divine feminine principle is a skewed path, inclining by design away from the very source of all that is. It is a path for the willfully orphaned.

The Old Gods have not returned. They never left. They were simply waiting for those whose blood and bones resonates with their voice heard in the forests and groves, rivers and standing stones, in the moon and stars and the rising and setting sun. Waiting for us to hear and return to them.

Hail Freya-Frigg!
Wrapped in the mists of Fensalir,
Concealing all save that which must be seen,
I cast my offering to the inky water,
My troth, a vow by deed affirmed;
Through salty haze,
I see the ancient Queen,
And eyes transfixed,
I yield, yield,
To wyrd’s entwining way.#pagan #paganism #norsepagan #freya #frigg #heathen #friday #FriggsDay #freyasday #writing #writer #fate #wyrd #druid #oldgods #poet #poem #poetry

The cycle of being knows nothing of status quo. Friction is created and shifts in consciousness are made painful when one seeks to stem the flow that bears one age to its conclusion in order to manifest the infancy of a new era. The flow is inexorable. The Gods have awakened within us.

Blessed Vetrnætr (festival of Winter Nights) to all who celebrate. May the ancestors walk beside you in the coming year and the company of the Gods enlighten and inspire your way.
Hail the Old Gods!

This month I return to one of my more popular long reads posted a year ago-- THE WITCH IS REEL IN— in light of new conversations coming to light online about spiritual paths, paywalls and grifters. [image is Remedios Varo’s The World, 1958]. --inspired by a discussion began here by @Cat_LeFey

The fundamental basis for all life is it’s inevitable dissolution. All which comes to be must also cease to be. Our very bodies are made from the dust of stars that themselves scattered their innermost elements to the cosmos in a cyclical sacrifice that enables existence to continue.

The ancient Goddesses and Gods are foci and singularities of the cycle of existence; manifestations of life and death, of becoming and dissolution, of burgeoning vitality and inevitable decay. Of love and hate, war and peace, beauty and disgust, wisdom and foolishness.

Within the shady tracts of the deep forest, time seems to halt, roll back, the veil fall, and the wisdom of ages past breathe into the present. A frozen moment that threads through the tapestry of past, present and future holds within it whispers of forgotten knowledge that awaken our souls.

I will walk the ways of my ancestors, and honour them in recalling that lore which bound their lives to the cycles of the seasons.
I will honour them with each step I plant in the imprints left by their feet in heath and on forest paths, as they also trod in the steps of the Old Gods.

Come, let us wander into the woods
And there, beside the ancient ash,
And beneath the reaching oaks
Cast a circle of fellowship —
Of sisters and brothers,
Hailing the Old Ones,
Summoning the Keepers
Of Ancient Lore,
To teach us the ways of yesteryear,
In whispers clothed in moonlight.#paganism #pagan #occult #norsepagan #heathen #heathenism #oldgods #OldWays #poetry #poem #wicca #odin #freya

I'm an ecologist and having a career in that field has made a huge mark on my polytheist practice. I know pagans tend to be a bit crunchy by nature, but my education and training inform the way I see the world and that includes my religious ideology.
I'm not living in ancient or even modern Iceland, or Sweden, or Poland, or Scotland. I tend to focus on local plant and animal life and how they tie into my views on gods related to fertility, the land, and the seasons. Bird migrations inform my shifts in seasonal practice. I see Freyja in my local red-tailed hawks. Óðinn in the common ravens on campus. I know when to expect thunder storms and give to þórr ahead of time, while giving to Freyr during the milder rainy season. When crocus bulbs begin to pop up they tell me we're entering Spring and to thank Mokosz. An Cailleach blows in with the first frost.
One of course doesn't need to be a scientist to be keyed in like this, I know plenty of pagans who are not and are just as keyed in. For me though it's second nature, no pun intended. Having a localized practice brings me closer to the gods in a way that makes sense to me. It also informs how I interact with the land wights, making sure to leave offerings safe for local plants and animals when outdoors. It's brought me into the flow of life around me and I'm at grateful for it.

Hello, this is my first post. I've been a witch and polytheistic since the 1990's some flavor of Norse/Slavic/Gael. There's been a lot of change and growth in my praxia over the years. Glad to be in a new space to talk it all out. #heathen #witch #slavicwitch #intro
