Hello🜃♑︎
I'm Theo [they/them]. <- Follows from @earthenremains
A thirty two year-old non-binary pagan.
I've been loosely practicing for roughly eight years.
My path is solitary, born from death and bound to the earth.
My skepticism can make believing in magic a challenge at times, but I also think it keeps me from blindly believing in every bit of information out there.
This blog is part personal pagan journal to keep a log of my magical dabbling and part collective grimoire of witchy posts made by others.
My current areas of interest are:
Death Work - My path started in earnest in 2017 while dealing with the grief accompanying a very sudden and unexpected close familial death. But my interest in death work precedes this, as I have been a member of the Vulture Culture* community for well over ten years, working with animal remains in all their forms.
Tarot/Oracle Cards - Despite owning a handful of decks, I am still learning to read tarot but have always enjoyed the diversity of oracle cards.
Rune Casting - I'm still in the phase of trying to learn the key meanings of the runes, I'd like to eventually learn to cast and read them together.
The Forest - I have been a patron of the trees since I was a child, always content to sit beneath their branches and focus solely on nature. I'm also a forager of localized natural spell ingredients.
The Personalized Path - I've spent far too long trying to follow the 'trending' paths of others. Forcing myself into a mold that has never felt quite right. So I am learning how to carve my own path and do what feels right for me.
Norse Paganism- One path I keep circling back around to is Norse paganism and the history/myths surrounding it.
Dabbling in Deity Work - Though I'm not sure I believe in deities as actual beings, more like concepts, I've been dabbling with deity work in the Norse pantheon {see blog list below for who I'm currently interested in}.
My intentions for this blog are to collect and curate posts I resonate with, and to share some posts of my own to better define my path.

*Vulture Culture encompasses the collection and processing of animal remains in various forms (bones, roadkill, hides/pelts, wet and dry specimens, taxidermy, insect pinning, etc). For me personally, I am mostly a bone collector/processor working with roadkill or natural deaths of wild animals. However on this blog you will also see a few of the pelts I own and acquired from Indigenous hunters/trappers that I use on my altar. If these things bother you, please consider unfollowing or blocking the tags listed below.
Other blogs, TWs, and DNI under the cut.
