  1. Hail Wodan on this Wodan’s Day!

    Consider what we would not sacrifice for a sip from Mimirsbrunnr. Do we hold our views and ideas so dear that we would not run them through with Gungnir to attain a deeper understanding, one beyond our concepts?

  2. CW: Moth pretending to be a mask of the Goat God

    This #moth was positioned just right (facing downward) on the old screen door to look very face/mask like! Love this one :) I think this is probably Nadata gibbosa White Dotted Prominent.. funnily, almost none of the images I saw online caught it in quite this position..

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  8. So now my path finds me joining the Isle of Wight Order of Druids after a very timely mention of them over on Bluesky. I was at first hesitant. Many frown upon mingling the Norse and the Celtic. But a long time ago, I first heard of these Old Ways via the Celts. Thus I forge my story.

  9. Well, this sucks, one stupid action that we all agreed to by one other player means my character is likely dead, everyone else except one other are kind of technically not going to due to a Fae bargain that I did not participate in because eff that noise. #CypherSystem #TTRPG #OldGods

  10. 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.

  11. 'Beware the Old Wood with trees so tall and bare. Beware the Old Wood, where only darkness dare. Beware the sorrowful silence where nothing living stirs. Beware the dead trees where past and future blurs. Beware the Old Gods of the Old Wood, who watch in wait for fools to snare.'

  12. 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!

  13. Tyr’s Day blessings!

    Ground your path in honour,
    Fix your walk in integrity,
    And may all that is said and done
    Be ruled by justice,
    That the scales not be tipped
    Wrongly against any.

  14. 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.

  15. Hail Queen of the Aesir,
    Hail Lady of Fensalir;
    Hail Frigg!
    Great Mother of Asgard,
    Watch over our steps;
    Key-keeping Goddess,
    Unlock for us
    The treasures of the Old Ways;
    Lady of the Full Moon,
    Brighten the path,
    And enlighten us ever.

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. And weaving seidr lore,
    The Vanir Völva —
    three times slain,
    three times made alive —
    At length allied
    To Odin‘s Aesir blood,
    Bestowed upon the Old Ones
    The knowledge of Her art;
    That power to weave
    The threads of fate anew,
    And with a scryer‘s sight,
    Divine the destiny of realms.
    Hail Freya!

  19. There is a silent wisdom within the embrace of the forest, an unspoken knowledge of centuries that is heard intuitively; its form at once profound and fragile, such that were one to attempt to define it with language, it would flee and be lost. Like the word on the tip of one’s tongue.

  20. 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.

  21. 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.

  22. Where are the Old Gods? Why, in the muttering of the stream, in the green shoots and the birdsong. Their whispers are carried on the wind and conjure within us that ancient yearning beyond words deep within our bones.
