Seiðr, or 'string magic'
Seiðr is not the umbrella term for sorcery or witchcraft in Norse culture.
Seiðr comes from an Old High German and Old English roots that means ‘cord,’ ‘snare,’ or ‘string.‘ Seiðr is not just any magic or spell or casting: seiðr is binding magic that metaphysically binds objects, people, animals, or spirits to the caster as if they were attached by a string or thread.
This is why a distaff is so important in portrayals of völvas or witches. The physical act of threading wool or sewing a tapestry channeled the seiðr to manifest. A strong example of this is a scene from Laxdaela saga when Gudrun, the instigator of most of the saga’s bloodshed, turns to Bolli upon his return from his errand of slaying Kjartan:
A poor match they make, our morning’s work—I have spun twelve ells of yarn while you have slain Kjartan (Laxdaela saga 116)
Seiðr magic works to draw things to the caster but also to send out göndull, or fetches, that are ‘tied to’ and manipulated by the caster. Bolli then is a possible physical fetch of Gudrun. The etymology of göndull as well plays a part in Bolli’s actions: göndull means both ‘coarse thread’ for the actual spinning of the spell, but also ‘penis’ (Old Norse religion, Heide 166). Kjartan’s death by Bolli’s sword-tip is death by Gudrun’s seiðr, making Bolli into Gudrun’s metaphorical phallus that pierces Kjartan, shaming him during his death.
“Of all the verdant gifts of nature, unto the artes and Wort Cunning of the West Country 'Green Doctor' and 'Old Mother Green-Cap,’ the Ash tree is perhaps the most magically potent and reputable in West Country tradition; it is of great use for matters of protection, love, and the removal of diverse ills. Such is the power of the Ash, it is believed by employment of various methods to absorb or exorcise ailments and bewitchment.
An Ash Tree Rite against Toothache
To cure toothache, instruct the patient to visit an Ash tree; taking with them a good sharp knife. There they shall wrap their arms about the trunk of the tree, and make a slit within the bark within the point at which their hands meet. With the knife, the patient should cut some hair from the back of their head and secrete this beneath the bark of the tree via the slit made with the knife.
The Rite of the Cleft Ash
The mother of an ailing son must take him, with two virgin girls to assist the operation, to a young Ash tree. There the tree must be split part way down its middle and the child placed by its mother into the cleft; there held for a moment before being taken by a virgin girl. The tree is then to be circled thrice against the sun. The virgin girl will then place the child to be held again in the cleft for a moment before the mother takes it and the circumambulations are again made about the tree. These actions are repeated nine times without any words being spoken throughout the operation, after which the split in the tree must be carefully closed together and bound to be revisited and inspected later. If the cleft grows together again, the child will grow strong and is healed.
For the healing of a girl child, the operation must be performed in the same manner by her father and two virgin boys.
A Fortunate Ash Charm
The leaves of the Ash may be plucked, and formed into a pleasing bunch. The gathered ends are to be bound tightly together in red, to form a foliate charm to be carried or hung in the home to attract love, good fortune, and health.
Protections by Ash
A stick of Ash has long been carried by walkers in the West Country to provide a protection against the adder or ‘viper.’ Kept in the home, by the door, the Ash stick performs the function of a protective charm to keep these venomous reptiles from entering.
A circle drawn with the Ash stick of a charmer about an adder will imprison the creature who will be unable to cross its boundary. An Ash tree growing in the garden will also provide like protection and keep adders away. In the absence of an Ash stick, the walker might carry leaves of the Ash within the pocket for a charm against the adder.
The influence of the protective virtues of the Ash in West Country tradition of course extend beyond serpents to ward against the ill-wish. In Somerset, leafy Ash branches would be gathered and formed into a wreath to be hung from the tree growing nearest to the house. This wreath-charm would impart a protection upon the place from the influences of Black Witchcraft.”

Considering the declining retention rate I don’t feel like they have the room to lose 20 years of Catholics, pope should just right them a note to give to St. Peter saying they’re excused
what about the people who were baptised by him and then died in the intervening 20 years? do their families just have to accept that their loved one is going to hell because some dude fucked up the paperwork?
Everyone back up we’ve got a more pressing question now
biologists will be like this is a very simplified diagram of a mammalian cell
chemists will be like this is a molecule
okay but this is what the best render of a human cell looks like
They are not kidding
Osmosis Jones was right, that’s a city

Imagine an alien sharing a cool human fact they just learned like ”hey guys did you know that the silvery markings on humans actually aren’t true stripes? They’re called stretch marks, they happen when the human is growing fast enough to actually outgrow their skin, which is apparently something that just fucking happens to almost all of them at some point of their life.”
and another one is like ”wait so you’re saying humans don’t have stripes.”
”actually they do, but the stripes are invisible. There’s genetic code that’d give them stripes but they’re just the same colour as the rest of the skin. So the visible stripes are not real stripes and the real stripes are invisible.”
”I swear if you tell me one more weird human thing today I’m beating your ass.”
The human in the room looks up and goes "Wait I have stripes?"
"what do you mean cats can see them, but I can't?"
what do you fucking mean cats can see them
I WENT THROUGH THE SAME THOUGHT PROCESS
MY CAT THINKS I HAVE STRIPES?!?!?!?
NO NO ITS NOT "IT THINKS I HAVE THEM"
BECAUSE WE DO APPARENTLY
SO ITS ACTUALLY A VERY DISTRESSED "MY CAT THINKS I KNOW I HAVE STRIPES?!?!?!"
AND I THINK THATS A BIT WORSE TO BE COMPLETELY HONEST
MY CAT KNEW I HAD STRIPES BEFORE I DID?!?!?!?!?!?
I DIDNT THINK OF THAT
WELL I DID AND NOW I CANT UNTHINK IT
@beenovel @messiambrandybuck these are the variants
WHAT
apparently there's a disease where they become visable, and these are the most common kind??
Ngl it looks cool but???? I'm still in shock tbh
I NEED TO KNOW WHAT PATTERN OF STRIPES I HAVE AND THE CATS WON'T TELL ME
I COULD HAVE A CHECKERBOARD ON MY BACK AND NO ONE WOULD KNOW???
