your yearly reminder that the co-called "veles night" aka "slavic halloween" is not a traditional slavic holiday and was made up by a russian fascist and conspiracy theorist veleslav (real name ilya) cherkasov, who, among his works that deal with "reconstruction" of slavic traditional religion, also has books about russians being the original pure aryan race that came from hyperborea and genetically possess the "true vedic wisdom". Yeah

Please pray for Poland and the people here, especially the oppressed minorities. There will be parliament elections on Sunday, currently we're ruled by an authoritarian right-wing party and things are only getting worse and worse. An actual fascist party is also gaining popularity. These elections are extremely important for the future of Poland, because the ruling party is destroying democratic institutions and we don't know how the next elections will look like if they win.
And please reblog so more people can see it.
🇵🇱 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

The Ultimate Deity Journal Guide
Similar to my grimoire guide, this is a guide on deity journals.
What Is A Deity Journal?
A deity journal is a journal dedicated to a deity. It’s filled with information, offerings, devotional pieces, etc. If you like journaling or can’t give other physical offerings (like food, libations, etc.), it’s one of the best offerings out there.
What Do I Use For It?
Usually deity journals are physical journals and notebooks. Binders and folders work as well. I have seen deity journals online, using things like Notion or Google Docs. Those are a little harder to format, but are great if you don’t have a notebook or aren’t a fan of physical journals.
So, What Do I Put In It?
Devotional Artwork
Devotional Playlists
Pressed/Dried Flowers or Herbs
Prayers
Devotional Poems or Stories
Myths
Recipes
Stickers
Experiences or Dreams

Wings :

Paganism poll!
If you call your believes "a pagan religion", please vote down below! I'm making a little research for myself, results of which I will post on this blog.
I've made a similar Greek polytheism post!
To clarify, we're are not choosing just one option here! It is implied that nature worship is within the religion or practice regardless. It is the question of mindset of what you put first in your day-to-day worship, what do your festivals/holidays revolve around and such.
If you answer on the poll, please comment/tag your answer and the religion you follow/attribute yourself to!
Although it is not necessarily required for the research I'm doing, that will allow me to do more specific attributions of what religions do people call pagan and what's their actual central part of worship!
Huge thanks to anyone who votes!
Please reblog for a bigger sample size!

rusalki are not mermaids. stop translating the word "rusalka" as "mermaid" and stop calling rusalki "slavic mermaids". it's confusing, it's misleading, and it's simply isn't true. the association of rusalka with a western mermaid and undine began in 19th century, when russian empire poets wanted to adapt a popular western motif of a sorrowful water maid that is unrequitedly in love with a mortal man. this literature character of rusalka has nothing to do with actual rusalki folklore and cult.
rusalki are natural undead spirits that are connected to slavic ancestral worship. they don't have tails. they are not in any way connected to the sea: only lakes, ponds, and rivers. often, they're not even connected to water at all: there are forest rusalki, field rusalki, meadow rusalki, etc. they are in close relationships with their human kin: during the spring and summer, they are used in agricultural rites and are believed to help with farming and raising crops. rusalki were sacred to slavic people. the "week of the rusalki" festival, when rusalki are believed to walk on earth and visit their relatives, is celebrated to this day. to call them "slavic mermaids" is very diminutive of their actual role in slavic cultures.
