Just starting to learn German folkmagic and I am surprised at how much catholicism is intertwined, one not really influencing the other at first glance. I know I shouldn't be surprised, given how pervasive the catholic church is and how old it is, and also knowing how much control landscapes have over their human communities; the ignus fatuus don't stop glowing on walpurgisnacht simply because the pope said so.

Tangentially related, I see a parallel between germanic folkmagic and brujeria, both the result of indigenous beliefs surviving catholic colonization.

Water is really underrated as an offering, especially for ancestors. Think about how hard it was to get clean water, historically. Water clean enough to drink! The fact that it's relatively easy for modern people to get our hands on doesn't take away its value for our ancestors.

We have pop pagan music

So last week I made a post about how we as pagans don't really have pop music to listen to that relates to our beliefs and myths. All pagan music is pretty much folk, metal or reenactments of ancient and medival music. Nothing wrong with it, but some of us like to be basic from time to time.

Then I realised... That's not true. There's plenty of pop songs that reference the gods and the myths even though the singers themselves may not be polytheists and that's why I created this playlist. Here you can listen to mostly upbeat but also some pop ballads that you could relate to as a polytheists.

Of course I'm accepting recommendations but please only recommend songs of genres that are pop-adjacent (pop, pop-rock, K-pop, J-pop, dance pop...) or mainstream (r&b, rap, trap, hip hop). It'd be especially thankful in recommendations from other faiths like Kemetism, Norse, Celtic, etc. since I don't know much about those. Any language is good.

Animal materials and their correspondences

Antlers :

Strength, endurance, masculine energy, (it can symbolise the horned god), protection, strong connection nature and the earth element, deflecting hexes/baneful energy, hope

Horns :

Wealth, the home, determination, aggressive protection, connection to that which is man made, cursing/hexing

Wings :

Adventure, deviating from the norm, sending/receiving messages, travel, starting a new adventure/path, hope, luck, wishes, comfort, (the type of bird would also affect the correspondences)

Chicken feet :

Wisdom, work, loyalty, connection to one’s property/land, safe keeping of the home, the fire element, (other bird feet can be used as well but may have slightly different correspondences)

Fur/feathers :

Creativity, warmth, connection to the air element, shielding from negative energy, protection, invisibility/hiding, warding (again, the type of animal affects the correspondences)

Heyyy look who's joining the "I need money, I will read runes for you" club. Sorry, I feel weird about all this, but hey, I gotta do something.

My wife is having bottom surgery later this year and we need money. More so for the expenses we'll have to pay while she's out of work for 3 months to recover, but gods know any kind of shit can happen. So I set up this gofundme for support.

I'm offering rune readings to people who donate. When you go to the gofundme page, there is a link in the description to fill out a form for you to receive your reading. You will need to include a screenshot that you donated. The amount of runes pulled is based on how much you donate. Up to $5 is a one rune pull $5-$15 is a three rune past/present/future spread $16-$40 is a four rune spread (past, future, subconscious insights, and message from spirit allies) Over $40 is a seven rune spread (for either/or questions) for eight rune spread (like the four rune spread with extra past/future insights) depending on your question/choice

Even if you can't donate, please reblog and share the link anywhere you can. We truly appreciate any amount of help or support you can give. <3

Devotional to Thor

Hail the bringer of storms. Forged in the flames of hardships, your hands know strength: The strength to grasp gently and protect; the strength to nurture and tend.

Hail the wielder of Mjolnir. Powerful as your mighty hammer, your hands know might: The might to defend tirelessly; the might to persevere ‘til the end.

Hail the delight of Sif. Most powerfully of all, your hands know love: The love in cherishing your loved ones and self, the love that will ascend.

Hail the ally of the downtrodden. Fearsome Thor, champion of Midgard and slayer of the cruel. Beloved Thor: cousin, uncle, brother, son, husband, Lord, and friend.

Hail Thunaer! Hail Ása-Þórr! Hail Donar! Hail Thor!
