  2. Uhm... #introduction

    Nothing really to say about me as a person, I have crippling #anxiety & so no life/accomplishments to speak of. Here are some of my interests, I'm an expert on none.

    2026 update: I post political stuff & am kind of inconsistent with warnings/tags. I see such things bother some users, but I'm tired of policing everything I say in my own space (plus bots auto-repost me when I use political tags), so, just a heads-up you may want to mute me.

    I welcome followers & try to reciprocate, but if you seem like a bot, you're a charity account (I'm on gov't support myself, sorry), or I can't figure out why you followed me, or if you post "Genocide Joe/Killer Kamala/Both sides are equally bad" content, I will almost certainly not follow back. Please just avoid me.

    Apologies if I'm doing anything wrong, I mean no offense.

  3. A Poem for Freyja

    Your voice so smooth
    Pulls me awake
    From the depths of dreams
    The bottom of a lake

    Your golden tears
    Restore my second sight
    Through the groves of dark bramble
    I see Brísingamen’s light

    Through that darkness
    When stillness holds my name
    You guide my vision
    Igniting the flame

    Magic and power
    Your wisdom awakens
    A rushing stream
    My soul shaken

    Drowning my old form
    Emerging something new
    Shedding this skin
    Into what you always knew

    Great Lady
    In thanks I give
    Gifts of honey and amber
    A new life to live

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  9. 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

    One of the best parts about being both a Heathen who venerates Freyja and an anarcha-feminist is that being slutty isn't just fun, it's also praxis! 🧙‍♀️✨💘🪶🐗🐱🐱 🏴💜 💣♀️💣 💦🥒🍑🍆💦 #hornyposting #hornypost #pagan #norsepagan #heathen #heathenry #norseheathen #norseheathenry #anarchist #anarchism #anarchy #feminist #feminism #anarchafeminist #anarchafeminism #sexpositive #sexpositivity #hailfreyja #hailfreya #emmagoldman #slut #reclaimedslur #reclaimedslurs #reclaimingslurs
