Grim's Subtle Worship Ideas for Idunna 🍎🍏

Basically my entry to @chaos-bites 's Subtle Worship series for Norse Gods

I made this in hopes of taking some of the stress of it from Stag's shoulders (and I got the go-ahead too)

eat in-season produce

take your medication safely and on time

learn more about how fruits and vegetables grow

grow a plant, ideally one that produces a fruit or vegetable, but a low effort one like a succulent works too

eat mindfully

partake in a creative hobby (think knitting, drawing, etc) that brings you joy

learn your limits and honor them

do a chore that desperately needs doing to improve your quality of life (dust with a mask if you have a dust allergy, clean out your fridge so you don't get sick from spoiled food, etc)

support environment preservation and restoration groups

clean up litter

be mindful of what you buy and throw away

exercise! doesn’t have to be a full complicated routine, just something that gets you moving and enjoy - and if you can’t enjoy it, something you can at least bear

spend some time outside - and put on sunscreen while you’re at it!

take care of yourself: shower if you haven’t in a while, brush your teeth if you haven’t today, and so forth

learn more about your local ecosystem

share an apple with her

start your own fruit and/or vegetable garden and give part of the harvest to loved ones

contribute to a community garden

make a homemade apple pie and give her a slice

give her an glass of water and ice to refresh her after a long day in the orchard

help a loved one with yardwork

I'll probably add onto this list later - I know I haven't gotten everything she'd like. Or, heck, y'all can add onto it too! I'm curious to see what else y'all would offer her.

#oh fuck here i go to think about which spellings people prefer #idun deity #iduna deity #idunna deity #deity work #deity worship #idunn deity #imbuer of immortality #idun #iduna #idunna #idunn #paganblr #offerings #grim mutterings #norse paganism

Outside of winters embrace

Here she comes with her fragrent grace

With fruit so sweet

She carries on the wind

With gentleness she picks them

Through her hand

The gods enjoy

Immortality

In Midgard the spring

Has come again

Growing flowers

Budding trees

Under the branches we shall meet

Oh Ithuun

Our Lady

We greet

Freyja’s Falcon Flights: To Idunna’s Apple Grove

It’s the waxing half moon again, and so I’ve gone to Freyja and been shown another journey path to share with you all. And as before, this is based on my experience, and I’m offering it to the community in case it’s helpful or resonates with some of you. If you’re used to doing journeys from a script, great! Otherwise feel free to have some one read it to you, or record yourself reading it. Edit the intro and expand the outro if you need to, but please leave the middle intact, and don’t share the recording without telling them where to find my original post!

I recommend lighting devotional candles and/or making small offerings (perhaps a libation) before you begin, for both Freyja and Idunna. Prepare yourself however you normally would, yo do work at an altar. For my part, that usually means wearing one of my devotional hair ribbons and perhaps donning magical jewelry, and acquiring something to go over my head while I journey.

Falcon Flight: To Idunna’s Apple Grove

Begin in stillness, and quiet, and darkness. Find your center, and align yourself with earth and sky. As you stare at the darkness behind your eyes, feel and see as mist swirls up from the ground, obscuring everything around you. After a moment, it begins to part, leaving you standing in a flowery meadow.

When you arrive in the meadow, take a moment to observe around you, turning until you see a path. At the entrance to the path are two shrubs, and as you move on that direction, you see trees as well. Shrubs give way to trees and undergrowth on either side of the path, getting taller and denser as you move onward, until they join overhead into an arch, forming a tunnel of trees that slopes downward, getting denser and darker.

Eventually, you notice that the path has become flat, and then it begins to rise. Now the trees are thinning again, branches giving way to brightness, and as the trees again give way to shrubs, you see a gate in front of a wide plain and beyond it, the great world tree. If you have any guides or guardians you wish to accompany you, ones who can join you in flight, call to them now, before you step through the gate and make your way towards the tree.

As you approach the World Tree, circle around it clockwise, until you see an opening beneath one of the great roots. Duck under this root and enter the tunnel beneath. There is hard dirt packed beneath your feet, and the entire tunnel seems to have been hewn from that same clay-rich dirt and sandstone. Not as many feet come this way — the floor is still rough in places, so watch your step as you continue forward. There are torches set into sconces in the rough hewn walls, and their light looks like fire but you feel no heat as we continue past, and you smell no smoke or pitch.

The tunnel curves gently and then begins to rise in a gradual incline, ending in a doorway, two huge stones on either side and capped with a third. Touch one gently as you step out into the fresh air — these are worn by the elements and smooth to the touch. If you look back to the entrance, you will notice that on this side, the tunnel leads into what looks like a large burial mound, standing alone in a large clearing, though the forest is slowly encroaching from all sides.

Smell the air — the pine sap scent is strong, and your nose can tell there is moving water somewhere nearby, even if your ears cannot yet hear it. Now you should continue, following a clear trail deeper into the forest. Your footfalls are muffled by pine needles, and the air seems still. The scent and after a while the sound of water is to your left as you walk, and after a short time, you arrive at a fork, with three paths to choose from.

One path curves to the left, and you can just make out a bridge over a creek in the distance. The one to the right seems to vanish into the trees. Continue down the middle path, which leads straight ahead. After a while, the trees seem to thin a bit, and the underbrush grows less tangled. There is a little smoke in the sky, above the rise of the hill, as though it comes from a hearth-fire, and you follow the path towards it.

As the path reaches the edge of the forest, and the pine needles give way to a large open field, your eyes are drawn to the great hall. It is large, and you know at once to whom it belongs. This is Freyja’s Hall, Sessrumnir, and you are in Folkvangr. Approach the door, and when the guard calls out his challenge, announce yourself and your purpose. He will stand aside and let you in.

Inside, you see no one but Freyja. Approach her, and give her the offering you brought for her. She will give you a golden cloak in return, a smaller version of her great cloak, and she will lead you outside. Experience the thrill of being transformed into a bird!

As a falcon, follow your Lady, circling ever higher until your sharp eyes spot a cottage and a circle of trees. As Freyja in her falcon form banks sharply to begin her descent, follow closely and land in a low branch in a tree across from the front door of the cottage. Leap down when Freyja instructs you to, and marvel as you land on your normal feet again. Follow her into Idunna’s cottage, and when you are inside, give Idunna the offering you have brought for her. In return, she will hand you an apple and may instruct you to peel or slice it. Do as she says, and then offer it for her inspection. Listen as she explains your omen.

When she gets up, follow her and Freyja outside. Notice how the air feels and smells - you’ve been led to a small ring of apple trees, which bear flowers, leaves, and fruit at all stages of growth. Listen as Idunna sings to the trees: “Apples, apples, grow on my trees… Apple blossoms, feed my bees…”

Only she can tell the types of apples apart - some for the gods that they never wither, some for the elves to use to heal, others for humans to change their luck. If you have a question for Idunna, ask it now, and listen carefully for the answer.

Thank her when she is finished speaking, and then turn to Freyja. If you have any questions for Freyja, ask them now, and listen carefully for the answer.

When she is finished talking, she will change both of you back to falcons for the flight back to Folkvangr. Delight in the sensations of it! Earlier you flew to arrive swiftly - now, fly for the joy of it! When you are ready to change back to your human shape, land on the roof of Sesrumnir, and wait for your Lady to make the change. Then you can slide down, and land on the soft grass.

When you are finished with your time in that other place, go back the way you came: through the forest, to the mound, through the mound-tunnel and out from under the root, across the plain, and back to the gate, through the tunnel of trees, and back to the meadow. Then the mist will swirl up again, and take you back to your body.

Besides the elements you've already used are there any other ideas from Once Upon a Time you want to tweak and include in your DisneyVerse?

I would like to figure out some sort of re-spin for Zelena (kinda referenced her a little bit with the Beast's mother Hélène) and maybe dive in more on what Heinrich and his aunt Eva were doing in Monroeville while stranded in Our World as that's my re-spin for Henry and Regina.

Other then that it's more of a case by case basis. When i'm crafting a new DisneyVerse story I try to find what stuff Disney has already made with the story that I could use and OUAT if nothing else has a whole lot of stuff to pick through x) So we'll see what stuff will get pulled up in the future!

(Now I'm thinking about just which stuff I've used already, let me see)

Corinne's reworked story /Rumplestiltskin obviously, and a lot of his DisneyVerse backstory at least relationship wise is a very retooled version of beats from his OUAT backstory

Regina influenced some of Eva, at least outfit and more heroically written Regina wise

Zelena sort of inspired Hélène

Gave Idunna two sisters based on her having two in OUAT but they're not really important plot wise

Monroeville backstory as a sort of non evil spelled Storybrooke

Mallow's father getting turned into a black fox as a reference to Lilith's father being Zorro

Gothel being part of a flower name witch cult was cuz she was a dryad or whatever in OUAT

Amelia exists due to Emma and so Heinrich since Henry's such a big part of Emma's story

Probably more but those are the main ones that stick out to me, and there'll likely be more in the future:)

THE ANGLO-SAXONS HAD ALWAYS fascinated the Norse princess. Once upon a time, there were so many nations she could barely remember the names of them all in her history lessons ( it was really only seven ), and it had only become one within the last half century. One could easily see Idunna's confusion at the conflicts between the Saxons and the interconnected ones of Saxons and Norsemen. It would only be a matter of time until she actually encountered one, so one could understand her surprise when she had heard the accent of one saying something to her when she had not necessarily been paying attention in the Scottish gardens.

"Excuse me," Idunna would say. "I had not been paying attention," She said, waving her hand. "What did you say?"

the thought of idunna and farouk constantly trying to one-up each other as skyrim’s best heros 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔

#personal post #idunna has been there much longer (she lives there) but also she is not the last dragonborn #farouk shows up to riften to sort this den of inequity out #only to find out that someone's already set the eastern half of skyrim to rights #he shows up to the college and idunna is like 'man come on this is my house and you come here looking for an elder scroll'#ch: idunna erensdottir #ch: farouk

I've said this before but hands down the funniest thing about enemies among us is that, out of everyone, the first person to come under the effect of idunna's blood magic whammy is varric. like, not isabela?? not carver? no it's varric, even with all his innate dwarven resistance to magic. the man has the mental fortitude of a paper lantern. he folds like a napkin in the presence of a pretty maleficar. and I'm expected to believe that, when faced with the whispered promises of a fade demon, he'll hold out longer than merrill? no way not a chance he lied through his teeth. that's slander, babe.

#I think it's probably a holdover from his initial character concept which was much sleazier than he ended up being but it's so funny

open starter - @nomadhqzstarters

Freyja had trussed up a makeshift target with old clothes and rags in the fields. At times like this she found that repetitive movements eased her nerves and allowed her to think more clearly. So far, Idunna had kept her presence in Edinburgh a secret from the other members of the Swedish court, but the runaway princess could only wonder how long it would be before she ran into another familiar face - perhaps one who wasn't as discreet as her sister. As she nocked another arrow and let it fly toward the target. It landed in the something akin the shoulder. Not her worst shot, but far from her best. It was then that she felt the prickly feeling of eyes on her. She nocked another arrow, just in case, and turned to the presence. "What? Have you never seen someone train before?"
