A #poem for #BabaJaga

Oh little house, little house
Turn your front to me
Turn your back to the forest
Lower your chicken legs so I may enter.

Oh grandmother
Baba jaga
Bony leg
Loosen your nose from the ceiling.

I ask for food
For drink
For a place to rest my head
For your blessing.

I come not fleeing a deed
But doing a deed
I come to you by free will
Not compulsion.

Gather your sisters
The baba jagas
From youngest to oldest
Grant me your wisdom.

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
