the trees you grew up with have not forgotten you. their branches still whisper your name in the breeze and their roots remember the paths your feet once traced through their shade.

☀️Deities☀️
I see so many people criticizing others over their relationships, or lack thereof, with their deities, so here are some reminders:
Not having deities is okay.
Having just a devotional relationship with your deities is okay.
Having a working relationship with your deities is okay.
Playing games with your deities is okay.
Harmless jokes with your deities are okay.
Doing fun things with your deities is okay.
Doing devotional offerings for your deities is okay.
Giving physical offerings to your deities is okay.
Not being able to do certain offerings for deities is okay.
Having an altar for your deities is okay, no matter the size.
Not having an altar for your deities is okay.
Laughing with your deities is okay.
Crying with your deities is okay.
Having genuine conversations with your deities is okay.
Being unable to hear/see deities is okay.
Being able to hear/see deities is okay.
Not being able to communicate through divination is okay.
Using divination as a key element in communication is okay.
Not calling on deities during spellwork is okay.
Asking deities to help during spellwork is okay.
Asking deities for help in general is okay.
This is your relationship with your deities in your practice. Don't let anyone tell you what you can and can't do. 🫶

Untangling the actual truth of what ancestral Germanic pagans celebrated is so difficult. I was looking into the upcoming holiday of Lammas, on August first. I learned that Lammas is a christianization of first harvest festivities, originating from England and is somewhat a bastardization of the Gaelic/ Celtic Lughnasadh. While I have read that Lughnasadh is also celebrated on August first in the modern age, it was more traditionally timed to be about the halfway point of the summer and autumn solstices. The bread- centered traditions seen in modern witchcraft/ Wiccan books and media are also almost entirely Christian originated, and came from it being associated with the Eucharist instead of the harvest. Most historical Gaelic Lughnasadh traditions focused on games, trading, matchmaking, etc. honestly those things sound a lot more exciting than just baking some bread!
I had seen the holiday “Freyfaxi” be celebrated and talked about by some Norse pagans, but then I learned that is a completely fabricated holiday by modern Ásatrú practitioners, meant to mimic the celebrations held by Gaelic and Wiccan pagans at the same time of the year.
The most interesting thing I learned is that Norse and North Sea Germanic pagans (Scandinavian, Netherlands, Germany, Frisian people etc) have absolutely no recorded history of a specific first harvest festival! While they do have records of blóts during this time dedicated to Freyr and other gods of the harvest, there isn’t another recorded historic “official” holiday until the end of harvest season blót.
As much as I love being a Germanic pagan, it kind of sucks that so much of what is held as being traditional or historical is just fanfiction. I know we don’t have a lot to go on, so most things are word of mouth, but there definitely is some real history to look into! I think also there is even more confusion due to the wheel of the year created by Wicca, which mixed a bunch of random holidays from Gaelic and Norse/Germanic traditions, conflating the two cultures when they have different gods and practices altogether. And the Ásatrú bros just be making shit up I guess, lol.
Anyway, happy Lammas or lughnasadh to those who celebrate, I think that you can adapt and create your own practice to any way you see fit and I am definitely not here to judge you. This post is mostly for people who are reconstructionist (like me) and want to try to mimic closely real historic practices of ancestral cultures. I think everyone should be able to celebrate what they want, but it is annoying when communities just make up holidays and call them historical 😭

I feel this! Let's all pray to our dieties for justice! To battle we go!
Veiling exists in many religions and cultures, and covering your hair for pagan spirituality is not automatically cultural appropriation. Pagan veiling is usually a personal devotional practice tied to modesty, grounding, protection, ritual, or connection with deities and traditions. Appropriation comes from mocking, stereotyping, or taking from closed practices without respect — not from respectfully covering your head in a general sense. Context, intention, and respect matter.
