Fair Blodeuwedd, fashioned from the flowers of the oak, the broom, and the meadowsweet.

#mika kagehira #enstars #kagehira mika #ensemble stars #the fact the Mabinogion is referenced in one of Mika’s stories is fucking insane to me #guy who is getting a degree in welsh and celtic studies when he sees a Mabinogion mention #anyway there’s not really any parallels between Mika and Blodeuwedd #although I suppose the idea of being controlled is there #having to learn to be human #learning to love but you love wrong and are punished for it #ANYWAY.

Love forever.

I met you once... and I wanted to stop the passage of life and time. And if I can say every day that I love you. Without even looking into our eyes. And so when I hug you.

I tell you that you are and mean everything I need. That I love you for who you are, for what you make me feel for you.

— Juan Francisco Palencia.

i'm taking the word "celtic" away from medieval french scholars until they stop describing everything a bit odd and magical as deriving from "celtic folklore"

#especially when they say this and then explicitly name an irish literary source #french romances get to be 'medieval french literature' but irish stories are 'celtic folklore' ... okay #would love them to actually read some of the so-called 'celtic' sources they claim are influencing their texts #but they don't. they just cite fucking loomis. every time.

Deity Persona

Have you ever wondered which mythological god or goddess you or your loved ones would be?

What concept personified that truly embodies or resonates with you?

Ask these open-ended questions to find out what qualities you have!

Then look through different pantheons (even those outside of your own culture) to find the best match!

I recommend though that you:

A) really dig into the history of each deity ie Bast v Bastet

B) avoid those mortals who were elevated to godhood by their respective culture. Remember: Deities are born from concepts

Deity Questionaire

1) What is the most fundamental thing you want in life?

2) How would you describe your fundamental personality?

3) What are your natural talents?

4) What do you resonate with?

5) Which animal best represents you, literally or figuratively?

If you’d like, comment down below who your Deity Persona is!

Dnd Prompts (again)

(Based on Celtic Mythology this time because you can take the forest out of the girl, but you can't take the girl from the forest :D )

A group of adventurers stumble upon an ancient burial site in the heart of a misty Celtic forest. They soon discover that the site is guarded by a powerful druidic spirit that will only let them pass if they prove themselves worthy in a test of strength, wisdom, and bravery.

A powerful Celtic warlord hires a band of adventurers to retrieve a magical relic that was stolen from him by a group of ruthless bandits: Excalibur. The relic is said to be cursed, and whoever possesses it will suffer a terrible fate.

A young bard sets out on a quest to find the legendary harp of the Dagda, a powerful artifact that can control the forces of nature. Along the way, the party must overcome treacherous obstacles and face fierce enemies, some being ancient spirits, other being treacherous changeling.

Your party discovers an ancient dwarven underground temple dedicated to a forgotten Celtic goddess. As they explore the temple, they uncover dark secrets and ancient curses that threaten to consume them...

A druidic order discovers that a powerful demon is planning to invade their forest and destroy their sacred grove. They call upon a group of adventurers to help them defend their home and vanquish the evil, not really saying the name of said Demon. The party realizes later on that this "Demon" is none other than a friend they made during their previous quests, but something has changed as you stare into those dead eyes and lifeless smile...

A powerful lich has taken control of a once-beautiful Celtic city and turned it into a dark, twisted realm of the undead. A group of brave heroes must navigate the labyrinthine city and defeat the lich before it's too late as the disease spreads, leaving vines invade your body, little by little until they squeeze your lungs slowly, leaving you breathless in this village of death.

A group of adventurers is hired by a wealthy merchant to escort a valuable cargo across treacherous Celtic lands. Along the way, they must navigate dangerous terrain, fend off raiders and bandits, and confront the spirits of the land, Morrigan. And she is absolutely not happy to see you roaming across her land...

Your party discovers a lost shrine dedicated to the goddess of the hunt. They soon discover that the shrine is guarded by a powerful and vengeful spirit that will stop at nothing to protect it. They have to find a way to bring the powerful potion of Alaunos back to their kingdom to heal the Queen but have to pass trials to determine if they deserve it. Your party must win the trials if your players want to be able to go back and save her.

A powerful sorceress seeks the help of a group of adventurers to retrieve an ancient tomb that contains a powerful spell who would be able to bring the dead lands of the planes back to life. The tomb is guarded by a fierce dragon that has made its lair in the ruins of an ancient Celtic castle.

A group of adventurers discovers an ancient standing stone circle that has the power to transport them to different realms and times. They must navigate the dangers of each realm they visit and overcome the challenges they face to find their way back home. But Pan has other plans for them...

I've done this once or twice now, so I'm willing to give it another shot—

I'm looking to start up a small roleplay group. Ideally, between five and nine individuals. Some need to know things mechanic wise:

The roleplay group will be run like a tabletop roleplay game [ttrpg].

It will be played very similar to Dungeon and Dragons [DnD] or Pathfinder. For those familiar with the system. When I say its similar, it uses the same dice sets, stats, and usage of rolls. But it has its entire own handbook for skills, feats, classes, equipment and the likes. But you don't need any experience if you don't know the other ttrpg systems, as it has its own handbook for you to access.

It will be in text format however, like a roleplay. People will tag each other after their replies. And you'll have access to an entire server with different channel and sections for different places to explore in character.

Every individual/player will have one character (unless they would like to have a second or third, or wish to play what could be classified as an npc).

Now, if it's caught your attention this far. I'll let you know the premise of the game/roleplay:

The player/individual's characters receive a scholarship from an intentional school. It is a full ride for housing, tuition, supplies, and anything else they might need. But there is trickery afoot they have to unravel and navigate.

Things you won't necessarily know in character however: every player/character is a demigod. They have divine blood. And the reason they are brought to the school is for their divine parent to try to reconnect with them.

Other themes that there will be

If you like Percy Jackson, and wanted a ttrpg system for it. Or if you just like mythology in general.

If you like the dark academia aesthetic.

If you like the found family trope.

If you like time traveling, or second experiences.

Now, if you've made it this far, I only have a very few requests I would ask of you:

I know a lot might be interested, but again I will restate: I'm looking for between 6-9 people.

Please be 18+, there will be mature topics discussed.

Be LGBTQ+ friendly

And if you're interested, send me a message and we'll chat. I'll get you the link to the group server on discord, and we'll start making your characters.

Thank you for reading this far. I hope this reaches the right crowd!

Where the Faeries Dwell

Dia Duit and welcome to the official tumblr page for the book “Where the Faeries Dwell”

This book is written by my Mother M.R Flora and I am helping her get the word out!

If you love Faery Tales, Irish Mythology or all things Sidhe related then this will be the book for you! The book is a compilation of short stories, written in the style of how my Great Granny told my Mother about tales of our neighbours beyond the veil, the Sidhe and their various interactions with the Irish people throughout the years.

If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a message :)

On Queen Guinevere, by Sir Gawain

“Lady, in truth, she is so courteous, so beautiful, and so wise that God made no law and no language in whose spheres one would find such a graceful lady. Ever since God formed the first woman out of Adam’s rib, there has not been so renowned a lady. And she deserves to be called thus, for in the same manner as the wise masters educate the little children, my lady the queen educates and instructs the whole world. Of her springs all good: It flows from her and begins in her. No one could leave my lady and go away despondent. For she knows well what everybody wants and what she has to do to please every single one of them. No man can do good or win respect who has not learnt of my lady how to do so. Never was a man so out of sorts that he parted from my lady but not from his worries”

-Conte du Graal, Chretien de Troyes

#Queen Guinevere #guinevere #sir gawain #arthuriana #arthurian legend #chretien de troyes #igraine #story of the grail #perceval #what the fuck chretien #this is the woman who sides with mordred #totally not a celtic sovereignty goddess #srsly guys

The L*ki show fans ( not all of you, just a somewhat tiresome few ) who claim they know more about Loki merely because they only know him from the MCU show than people who have not only watched the former films and read the comics, but have also studied Norse mythology, practiced the faith behind it, and, in some cases, have even been RAISED from childhood with the practices and beliefs, is amazing.

Just another case of performative types trying to play superiority Olympics and foolishly choosing to mess with the wrong crowd.

It wouldn't kill you to actually learn from someone else who knows more than you. Unless, of course, your ego is that fragile.

#anti loki show #fandoms #stop talking and start listening #now I am a Celtic pagan myself #but I have definitely read a lot of the Loki comics and #also have studied a little bit of the mythology #just do yourself a favor and take a peek at something outside of the show #it won't kill you #norse paganism #norse mythology #and this doesn't just apply here #it applies to a lot of other situations as well #and don't give me some weird story about but this is a variant he's a different person #that doesn't excuse your attitude #fandom rant

That magical moment when you choose the names for your characters and suddenly ~☆ what was once pure fiction, becomes a little more real

#🖇️ : original story #fantasy #i had so much fun choosing their names #some are biblical #one is the name of a girl who i knew during an exam #her name is just too unique!#i had told myself that if i ever wrote a fantasy i would use it #other are celtic #they all have a special meaning #writer things
