Watching genocide and mass violence erupt across the world can induce a feeling of fatigue, hopelessness, and fatalism. Whether it's international violence or hate-crimes in our own countries, there may not be much we can do, but we can't stop contacting our representatives and donating where/when the funds will actually go to survivors and grieving families/communities.
I pray the Old Gods can help civilians find safety, justice, and peace, while those who commit such violence find severe consequences.
Flags depicted: (top row) Democratic Republic of the Congo and Palestine; (second row) Sudan and Syrian Resistance; (third row) Ukraine and the transgender pride flag.

Hail Frigg Prayer
Written to the feel and scheme of the Catholic Hail Mary. I grew up Catholic and often miss the flow of the Hail Mary in prayer so I altered it to fit All Mother.
Hail Frigg, full of grace divine,
The All Mother, forever shine.
Blessed art thou in wisdom's light,
Guidance and comfort, day and night.
Holy Frigg, source of strength and might,
In your embrace, we find respite.
All-knowing Mother, hear our plea,
Guide us on life's vast, unknown sea.
Frigg, with love, your children bless,
In your wisdom, we find success.
Support us in each trial we face,
Grant us your mercy and embrace.

🏳️🌈PREORDERING FOR THE NORSE PAGAN LGBTQ+ PRIDE FLAG IS STILL LIVE!🏳️🌈
I’d like you to know that this flag was spread around and got Heathen Reddit very mad—so mad they reported my store’s blog for spam (likely en mass) until the blog was auto-deleted by Tumblr.💀
I’m a queer independent artist who designed this flag purely because it brings me joy. I’m selling it because it brings other people joy. The fact I was intentionally deplatformed for this is a blatant reminder that some people view my existence as a threat, and incorrectly believe Heathenry justifies my extinction.
So I have a favor to ask you.
🏳️🌈📢 SHARE THE HELL OUT OF THIS POST 📢🏳️🌈
In fact, here’s a graphic you can spread around all over your social medias; in groups, in videos, and wherever you’d like:
Preorders close in a few days to be sent to production, so order now if you want one. I also have other thematically-related designs you can pick up in addition to the flag to complete the look.
And here’s a reminder that much if Norse Heathenry is queer, both in term of its followers and its deities.

odd question: did the norse people ever worship or venerate the warriors of Valhalla? or was it just a goal to aspire to?
The Old Norse people worshipped their ancestors, some of which went to Valhalla, and some who were definitely heroes. But I don't think they worshipped "the warriors of Valhalla" as an archetype, or as paragons to emulate. Valhalla wasn't even viewed as a goal to aspire to. Rather, it was a consolation prize for dying far from home.
Prior to the Viking Age, the Norse people believed they rejoined their family and ancestors after they died. However, this was dependent on the fact they would be buried in the family grave or barrow.
But going a-viking meant risking death far from home, and this death would most likely happen while out at sea or during a skirmish.
In order to reconcile the question of "Where do we go if we can't be with our families?", the Norse people concluded that if they died out at sea, they went to Njord's hall, and if they died in a skirmish, they went to Odin's or Freyja's hall. This way, they had the comfort of knowing they would still be with their gods and people if they perished far from home.
It's important to keep in mind that the vikings were not exactly a warrior class; as in, "being a warrior" wasn't their job. They were pirates. And like all pirates, their goal was to retrieve goods, either by trade or by raid. Most vikings had every intention of making it home alive, and just like being a skilled sailor improved these odds, so did knowing how to put an axe through a man's skull.
Dying while going a-viking was honorable for the same reason that successfully returning home with goods was honorable; it's the fact that a person risked their life to travel very far away and gather resources for their family and community. It's an honorable deed.
But just because this death was honor-worthy doesn't mean it was a goal.
First of all, let's consider the practical aspect here: In a pre-industrial era, no one in their right mind would waste an entire ship on a crew that didn't plan to come back in it.
Secondly, "dying gloriously on the battlefield" only has widespread cultural importance in imperial nations; nations motivated by dominion, conquest, and establishing their widespread rule. Not only were the Norse societies not imperial, they didn't even have a centralized military, let alone the manpower to fight the rank-and-file wars we associate with the term "war."
So I guess the short answer to your question is "neither." Heroes were definitely venerated, but the notion that becoming ulfhednar makes someone the worthiest of all worthies is a retroactive interpretation.

An oldie but a goodie!
[[Image description begins]]
Three images are stacked vertically. The first is of a groom and bride, labelled Thrym and Freyja, at the altar. The second is of the groom lifting the bride's veil and asking "Freyja?" The third reveals Joe Exotic to have been under the veil, now labelled Thor and holding a Mjolnir. He says: "Guess what, motherfucker."

I'm glad that the Heathen and Pagan communities here in the UK are taking A stand against the AFA trying to get a foothold here.

When you imagine or draw the gods important to you, are they always attractive? Are any of the gods worthy your worship fat? Do they have a funny nose? Do they have wrinkles, stretchmarks or uneven teeth?
Do your gods all looks like they could get work in hollywood, and why?
Do you believe hotness is linked to being worthy of being loved and listened to?
Do you think about why gods worshiped for a thousand years would accidentally look just like the current ideals of beauty?

9 adults and 5 children of The Hearth of Devon assembled for a blot to Woden on Dartmoor this weekend. The Neolithic stone row served as a procession path leading to a cist/dolmen which we used as a harrow (ON: hörgr).
The ritual area was demarcated by hazel poles and a we-band (ON: vébönd). The hlaut bowl is positioned in the centre of the harrow with a flame to the South, the mead horns to the West, a silver oath ring to the East facing the supplicants at Delling's door, and a Woden stapol on the North side of the harrow.

I am definitely also implicating myself when I say that heathens, especially American heathens, need to be more active in opposing racism within the heathen community. Our symbols and gods are being used as signs of hate and if we want to avoid losing the entire practice to hate groups, we need to not just say we’re anti-racist but also demonstrate it.
