Above the forest reigns tranquillity Just ice cold winds whisper to me As if a velvet robe would wrap my bleeding heart One gentle breeze of these winds and grief falls apart {Empyrium} ↟ . . These lyrics came to mind as I drove past this on the way to the mountains 🌫 I pulled over and had my friend drive most of the way because I was way too distracted by the beauty all over and of course felt the need to capture it all. Snapping a ton of photos in a moving car and managing to come back with a few that does at least a little justice to how it really looked and how I really felt witnessing it {this is unedited} .. is one of the best things to me. My love and longing for views like this is endless ↟ . . . . #midgaarb #blackmetal #oldgods #vikinggarb #folklore #vikingreenactment #Tolkien #paganpride #paganism #vikings #heathen #vikingpride #pagansofinstagram #asatru #vikingsofinstagram #lotr #sombrescapes #oregonexplored #oregonnw #dscvr_mist #moody_captures #bestofthenorthwest #pnwonderland #jj_oregon #rsa_fog #pnwdiscovered #thenwadventure #nrthwst #wishyouwerenorthwest #norsemythology (at Columbia River Gorge)

Lots of reflection being back home. Here’s a snowy photo from a winter long, long ago .. Taken in December of 2002, when I was 13 and just got my first film Canon camera. I remember this day, when I stumbled upon this wooden structure I just loved the shape of it ↟ I’m grateful I grew up with blizzard white winters and rainy falls. I spend hours in the woods with my camera. I started developing my own film at a local darkroom this time too, a hobby I wish I still had time for. . . Every time I’m home, I look through all my old photos - there’s thousands of them, in boxes and albums - they mostly consist of nature, rain, snow, old broken things, the historic homes in my town, ‘artsy’ self portraits (but even today I honestly prefer to be behind the camera) I tend to get re-inspired by what my eyes saw over half my lifespan ago. What I was trying to say even then. It’s really interesting and rewarding to see how I’ve evolved and also see how much I am still very much the same. I was so misunderstood and emotional when I was younger, I think that’s why I took to photography and creating. . . I’m glad I’ve learned how to channel those emotions in a productive and positive way, while still remaining true to myself. During this Midwinter time of reflection I always find it healing to look back and meditate on my evolution. Looking back in history, where we’ve come from is the best inspiration for future creation↟ . . . . #midgaarb #natureworship #northeast #snow #oldgods #vikinggarb #folklore #vikingreenactment #paganpride #paganism #vikings #heathen #vikingpride #odinism #thor #pagansofinstagram #vikingsofinstagram #lotr #sombrescapes #dscvr_mist #moody_captures #poconos #cabin #cabinlife #blackmetal #norsemythology (at Pocono Mountains)

Foggy morning view of my backyard forest this morning 🌫🌲 I think it’s abundantly clear I’m weather-obsessed, the absolute first thing I do when I open my eyes is look outside my window hoping to see either rain or fog haha. And the mornings lately have had extra dense fog so I’ve been so happy sprinting out of bed for a hike before I begin my day. My favorite medicine. A chance to clear my head, start off with lungs of forest air, meditate and manifest. I really hope mornings like this last ↟ . . Also I want to remind you all of my story highlights: A lot of you DM me saying you enjoy my nature & garb stories ~ that makes me so happy sharing them 🖤 if you order from me there’s a good chance you can see your items made in my stories! ↟ . . And since I’m kind of a hoarder .. I love this feature and I have almost everything saved in my story highlights. (There’s a lot 😂) I know sometimes you aren’t looking on the actual account page so some of you may not realize that. But if you ever want to see more finished garb, work in progress or my nature adventures you can check out an endless amount of saved ones stored there! ↟ . . . . #midgaarb #blackmetal #foggyforest #vikinggarb #folklore #vikingreenactment #Tolkien #paganpride #paganism #vikings #heathen #vikingpride #pagansofinstagram #asatru #vikingsofinstagram #lotr #sombrescapes #oregonexplored #oregonnw #dscvr_mist #moody_captures #bestofthenorthwest #pnwonderland #jj_oregon #rsa_fog #pnwdiscovered #thenwadventure #nrthwst #wishyouwerenorthwest #norsemythology (at Oregon)

*Today is the last day for my giveaway!* thank you to everyone who’s posted and participated! ↟ Photo from my rainy foggy hike yesterday. Sometimes photography feels like cheating when photos look better unedited because a place is as naturally magical as this ↟ . . Also ~ If you watch my stories you know I make garb every single day, but I actually haven’t made myself something since last spring. Except last night I finally made myself a new wool dress! (check my story) my belated birthday gift. And today I am going off the grid and into the snowy mountains ❄️ Plan is to see some icy waterfalls, stare at tall trees, take photos and play in the snow with some good company. Tonight and tomorrow morning I will go through all my giveaway posts and pick a winner, I’m so excited!↟ . . . . #midgaarb #blackmetal #oldgods #vikinggarb #folklore #vikingreenactment #Tolkien #paganpride #paganism #vikings #heathen #vikingpride #pagansofinstagram #asatru #vikingsofinstagram #lotr #sombrescapes #oregonexplored #oregonnw #dscvr_mist #moody_captures #bestofthenorthwest #pnwonderland #jj_oregon #rsa_fog #pnwdiscovered #thenwadventure #nrthwst #wishyouwerenorthwest #norsemythology (at Oregon)

There is such deep old magic in my childhood woods. Spending lots of time roaming the cold woods behind my home and watching the clouds roll over the moon as the sky darkens into the most beautiful blue. It’s strange not working, I miss sewing and creating, but I know a break is necessary for the mind and body. To return with new energy. I’ve set my manifestations and intentions for this upcoming year & tomorrow I journey back to the PNW ↟ . . Living so far away from home is challenging and hard at times, but extremely rewarding. I get to feel a strong and different connection in multiple places. It just proves to me that the strength of the gods is all around us, and the connection lives inside of us. Proof of our inner strength. It is our duty to embrace and nourish that connection. I found that once I rooted myself in nature, I could really be anywhere in the world, as long as I have that connection I won’t feel lonely, I’d just feel comforted. That feeling of home lives inside each of us. ↟ . . . . #midgaarb #natureworship #northeast #darkwoods #oldgods #vikinggarb #folklore #vikingreenactment #paganpride #paganism #vikings #heathen #vikingpride #odinism #thor #pagansofinstagram #vikingsofinstagram #lotr #sombrescapes #dscvr_mist #moody_captures #winterwoods #cabin #cabinlife #blackmetal #norsemythology
