A weird feeling about faith
I've been on this blog for a long time. I think I'm going to change everything about it. My faith is different now, I am different. Change is a constant. I've been neglecting my faith for a few years now. Everything has just been to much for me. I've felt disappointed and unhappy. But I'm hoping this recent surge of love for my craft again will keep me going.
Everything about this blog will change ❤️

Did you eat? (I love you) I bought the bread you like (I love you) I noticed you were upset so I brought you tea (I love you) I made this for you (I love you) I know you have a lot of work and can't talk now so I will leave this thing you like around (I love you) I did your chores (I love you) I will sit by in case you need anything (I love you. I love you. I love you)
Worshiping Lord Loki with Depression
After I explained my depressive state and apologized for my absence...
"Oh..."
Loki sighs and looks towards the fire.
"You don't need to give me your energy or offerings, you don't owe me anything. You need to look out for your own happiness, you understand? Sometimes we can get so consumed with our duties we forget to take care of ourselves. I forgive you."
Loki takes an exaggerated sip of his tea as he tilts his head backwards. He looks back down at me, his voice soft and sincere.
"If you ever need anything, just ask. I am always right here for you. I have waited thousands and thousands of years. I am not going anywhere. Your relationship with me is yours and yours alone, you make the rules of that. I am here for you and will continue to be here for you. I understand how it can feel, there is nothing wrong with feeling depression. I would rather you let yourself feel every single ounce of emotion than for you to bottle it up inside. You need to be in touch with your feelings. The world needs you as you are right now."
Me: "Thank you. You've done so much for me. I hope I'll be able to pay you back one day."
Loki gives me a stern look while he raises his mug in the air.
"You will never have to repay me for anything I've ever done for you. I do those things because I love you. It's the same with my other children, I will never put them in a debt they could never repay. You repay me all the time by being you. That's what a parent is for. To support their child.
Loki gives a playful smile, he has seen millions and millions of years. There is an ease in him as he speaks.
"I promise you, I promise you won't have to repay me."
Norse heathens, listen up. I’ve got a lineup of the unacceptable shit some of your own are spouting. I’ll explain why it’s unacceptable, since some people aren’t getting it.
Context: Jewish people have rightly pointed out that some Norse symbols have a history of being used by WS groups.
We’ve got this lovely one, where a person claiming to work with Loki also claims they are not responsible for attacking a Jewish person over this conversation, as Loki totally made them do it. I’m doubtful.
Here’s a Norse heathen expressing fear for their own safety during a conversation about Jewish people and Norse symbology.
“We didn’t do the Holocaust, stop oppressing us. It’s not fair.” Just, if you ever want to be taken seriously I recommend not using “I didn’t cause the Holocaust” as your argument.
“It’s not us, it’s the Christians! You don’t avoid Christians!” I promise you, we are cautious with Christian people as well.
We’ve known this for centuries. Honestly, this one bothers me a lot. How do these people have so little understanding of marginalised groups?
No one is saying you can’t wear them. We’re saying “you cannot wear them and expect to be received without caution by all members of communities historically targeted by these white supremacist groups.”
First of all, that person claiming that Loki made them do whatever they did, that's bullshit. The gods don't make you do anything. They chose to do that and they bring shame on all of us when they say that Loki would even tolerate that behaviour, much less encourage it. I really am sorry that this shitty behaviour is still happening. Nothing upsets me more than people using a god's name to justify their own actions. There is no excuse for white supremacy. And a lot of our symbols have definitely been used to justify or represent horrific acts. It's our responsibility as heathens to acknowledge this and educate ourselves. So, any Jewish person who sees this, I hope you know that any Norse heathen worth anything would accept you as you are. There's no room for hate here.
Thor is with us this night.

My candle spell from the last Dark Moon 🕯🌑
Friendly tip, if you're touching poison hemlock it can cause skin irritation, especially if you're cutting into or breaking up parts. Inhaling the plant can also cause respiratory issues on its own, let alone adding heat and possibly flame or smoke, and lastly it will KILL your cat. Dead.
Letting your pet sniff some of your tools and even just being in the room where a toxic plant is possibly being burned is incredibly irresponsible.
I hope nothing serious happened and if anyone is tempted to duplicate this they read up on hemlock.
**Also the plant material in this is incredibly difficult to make out, I'm referring to poison hemlock per the OP's ID alone but it could be incorrect.
Oh my God why would you EVER handle hemlock with bare hands much less cut it up and BURN it?? Indoors with a CAT???
It only takes ingesting 6-8 leaves to KILL a human being, even if you're not using that much imagine how sick you can get from putting that shit in the air. This is why studying the mundane science of plants is CRUCIAL for herbal magic work so you don't end up poisoning yourself for the #aesthetic of using hemlock.
DEVOTIONAL ACTS AND OFFERINGS TO ODIN

Bird Imagery (Occasionally you can find Crystal Ravens in some shops)

Going on an Adventure/Travelling
Other

Odin Prayer No. 2
God of Wisdom, Master rune carver. Thrust Your divine blade, Deep within my writhing being. Fill me with Your seed of knowing. Share with me Your fury. Whet Your appetite with my every cry. Take Your fill of my body and mind. Leave me begging for more, Yet give nothing more than what You will. So, take me for all I am. As I belong only to You.
Drowning
God of the Wise God of the Warrior God of the Poet
I’ve felt Your fury. Tasted Your wine. Held at spear point.
And yet here I am. They said I would be broken, Would be rent asunder. Left with nothing but a bleeding that would never heal. That You held no love, no kindness. Naught even a bit of compassion.
But I have felt Your love. Raging and ferocious. Your love is like a crashing wave. You are relentless, refusing to abate.
No matter how I thrash, struggle, and cry. You do not relent, You will not.
I am sinking, drowning. Yet I feel Your firm grasp. You refuse to let me sink.
You pull me up. Then with all the kindness of a storm, You shove my being back under. Again, I sink and again You push and pull. Until I can no longer bear it.
I reach for Your hand, rather than waiting. I grip You with all my might. You help me rise through the waves. Through all the darkness and doubts. Through all the sorrows and stillness.
You have helped me break the surface, To stand on my own. To stand next to You.

War Water / Water of Mars
War Water (a.k.a., Water of Mars) has both malevolent and beneficial applications. In its basic state, War Water tends to keep one foot in the malevolent camp (which can probably be inferred by its name).
What follows here is a method of creating a War Mother - War Water Starter that, if kept in a cool dark place, should last indefinitely. This can then be used to create either a beneficial or a more specifically malevolent War Water. My own methods of creating each then follow the War Mother instructions. (Image above sourced from [this post]).
A Note on the Actual Water:
If you know ahead of time the exact type of War Water you want to create, or if you want to create War Mothers of both types to keep ready all the time, you will want to tailor the exact type of water you’re using. Here are some examples:
For Malevolent War Water use rain water collected during a thunderstorm, or water collected from a swamp.
For Beneficial War Water use rain water collected during a calm, refreshing rain, or water collected from a clear stream.
In a pinch, take tap water and filter it three times; To key it for Malevolent War Water, charge it with your own negativity and malice then let it sit under the dark moon; To key it for Beneficial War Water, charge it with your own positivity and let it sit under the full moon.
Creating your War Mother
This will serve as a constant source of War Water starter, which you can then take and modify to suit your specific needs at any given time.
What You Will Need:
Water (see above)
A Sealable Glass container (a mason jar or bottle)
Cut Iron Nails (This is important, as modern nails are almost always coated to prevent rusting.)
A cool, dark place to keep your water
What You Will Do:
Add the nail(s) and water to your glass container - A good ratio to keep in mind is 1 cut iron nail for every 4oz of water.
Seal the container and stick in your cool, dark place.
Shake the container every once in awhile.
Open the container now and then (as a suggestion, once a week) to allow more oxygen in to keep the oxidation going.
Let it sit no less than 5 weeks.
How You Use It: When you want to create a more specific Water of Mars, or even just use this basic War Water, strain off the amount you want to use from this War Mother. Then, add more water to the War Mother to keep it going.
Every time you add water, be sure to reset the 5-week-minimum timer. If at any time your War Mother develops mold, ditch everything and start over from scratch (you can salvage the nails if you clean and sterilize them before using again).
For Malevolent War Water
What You Will Need:
Water from your War Mother
Herbs associated with aggression and malevolence
Broken glass and/or sharp metal shavings
Your own urine
Sealable glass container
When You Will Do It: In order of importance - While Mars is direct, and the moon is is Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces.
What You Will Do:
Add the herbs, glass/metal, and urine to the container.
Slowly add the water from your War Mother to the container, focusing on your malevolence and its destructive force.
Seal the container and give it a tormentalous swirl.
How You Use It: Traditionally, you shatter the bottle at the feet of, or on the property of, the person with whom you are quarreling.
Alternately, you can set the bottle over a target’s picture, and use it in a more generic attack working.
For Beneficial War Water:
What You Will Need:
Water from your War Mother
Herbs associated with protection and defense.
One piece of Bloodroot.
Black Salt
Sealable glass container
(optional) Tag-lock for yourself and/or family/target
When You Will Do It: In order of importance - When Mars is Retrograde, and the moon is in Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius.
What You Will Do:
Add the herbs, bloodroot, black salt, and any tag-locks you want to the container.
Slowly add the water from your War Mother to the container, focusing on your peaceful calm and forces of protection.
Seal the container and give it a gentle swirl.
How You Use It: This is more of a protective talisman. You can keep the container on you, or in an area you want to keep protected. The black salt in this mixture will help it last a little longer by deflecting some of the negativity in the area, but keep an eye on this because as it mostly absorbs negativity, there is a limit to how useful it will be. The color will change to a deeper red/black as it absorbs all it can. Keep an eye on it, and replace as necessary.
I hope some find this useful. Personally, I really like making protective water of mars during the time when mars is retrograde, and I try to do it every year.
A norse runework starter pack!
Because runework is basically at the core of my craft, I use it all the time and I’m already more than familiar with it. Runework is super easy to incorporate into everyday life and it’s got a wide range of use so I truly recommend. It feels safe and reliable, and I don’t need to put a lot of time or focus on them. Now let’s get down to business to defeat the Huns.
Their story real quick:
So in His endless search for knowledge, Odin the Allfather hung Himself and was pierced by His own spear in order to be alone with Himself. He accepted no bread and no mead until He found the truth He’d been looking for. And He did: through the darkness of His own mind, Odin saw the runes and reached for them. It was told they were so powerful He could bring a man back from the dead using them.
The basics:
The runic alphabet, otherwise called Futhark. Because I’m a history nerd I try to use the “elder futhark” as much as possible, though there’s a new one going around that’s really popular too.
The more complicated stuff:
Vegvisir (you’ll often find it depicted inside a rune circle like the second pic, especially on jewelry and pendants): Vegvisir is first and foremost a compass, and its name translated from Icelandic quite literally means “that which shows the way”. Historians speculate that its shape might be derived from old sailing wayfinders in Scandinavia, thus its association with the compass. It’s supposed to guide one’s way through the storm, according to a line in the Huld manuscript. (x, y)
Aegishjalmur (Helm of Awe): Protection, protection, protection! That’s what it’s about. All of its branches are considered to be “guarding” the center, thus making it a major protection rune. Once you get the gist of it, it’s super easy to draw and useful. If you’re a fan of dragons like me, perhaps you know Fafnir’s invicibility was drawn from this rune, as stated in the Fáfnismál: The Helm of Awe | I wore before the sons of men | In defense of my treasure; | Amongst all, I alone was strong, | I thought to myself, | For I found no power a match for my own. (x, y)
Aight quick presentation for other complex runes:
Now; How do I use runes? Where do I put them?
Draw them anywhere and everywere. I wouldn’t recommend painting a ten-feet inguz on the closest police station but there’s still tons of places where runes can be useful. I draw them inside my wrists and close to pulse points, as way of “pumping” them into my system, so to speak. I write them down to focus my intent during rituals, choosing the one/s I need most atm. In a similar way, I envision them during meditation to clarify my intent. I also use them to decorate altars or devotional art. If you’re a norse pagan like me, maybe look up what runes your main deities are associated with! Quick rundown:
Odin is usually othala or ansuz
I often see Freyja associated with fehu, but that’s also the case for most of the Aesir
Tyr with teiwaz
Thor with thurisaz or uruz; etc…
What about bind runes?
By definition and according to historical speculation, bind runes are futhark runes which were merged into a single glyph (sometimes by carving them all on a single straight line, like oghams). They were super rare back in the viking age but they’ve become popular in the last few years.
People create them according to their needs. This aspect makes bind runes extremely versatile and personal because you can set really specific intents for them. They’re not exactly like sigils, though: when it comes to sigils, feeling and instinct usually guide people’s creation process. As for futhark bind runes, they’re made using existing glyphs from this specific alphabet. Here’s a bunch of bind runes that have been going around, just to give you guys a few ideas of what they can look like:
OKAYYY that’s all for me, time to sleep
