For those that are interested in my attempts to write the Poetic Edda into the so-called haiku meter, I've posted a free to read excerpt of Loki's Haiku Duel to my Ko-Fi page

If there's enough interest, I may consider (read: definitely will) post the full poem to my Ko-Fi page.

The Ostrogoths

The Ostrogoths are one of two major groups which made up the Goths. The word literally means “the eastern Goths”. It is assumed that classical writers divided the Goths into east and west as a reference to where they lived, and not as tribal identity or origin story.

Archaeologically, there are plenty of similarities between the Ostrogoths and the Visigoths. For example the so-called eagle brooches (image above) are very similar. However the Ostrogoths were more generous in grave goods than their western “cousins”, with most finds being exceptionally decorated.

The earliest cultural expansion of the Goths was located in modern Ukraine. Hunnic expansion forced the goths further south to southwest into Rome. The Ostrogoths were caught between the Huns and the Romans and often switched sides. After the Hunnic empire fell, the road to Rome was open.

Theodorik entered modern day Italy with his troupes and made Ravenna the capital of his empire (instead of the city of Rome). The Western Roman empire had “fallen”, a Germanic king ruled Italia and the mythology of Theodorik was born.

Grave goods found in Cesena, Italia. 5th century.

Hello y'all, I published a story based on Norse mythology for a change.

Despite doing everything right in the ritual, völva Heiði fails to reach the state where she can see the past, the present and the future. Desperate as the queen wants answers, she prays to Freyja, the Mistress of Magic. She did not ecxpect such a hands-on approach...

$10+ patrons enjoy the illustrated version with a sensual artwork by @a-gnosis!

Read the plain text version here.

Upcoming in May is another wlw tale in which Demeter, fed up with male gods, seeks the comfort of Aphrodite.

Patrons will also get to vote for these four prompts inspired by MerMay and Hermes' mum Maia (potentially) being the namesake of the month of May or Maius.

And since I don't think I spoke about this on Tumblr yet: I'm moving everything from Patreon to my own website since some of my stories are not in accordance with Patreon's new guidelines already and it's only going to get worse. I'm not deleting anything unless they make me but new stories will be posted exclusively to my own website which Patreon members can access with their Patreon login but you can also sign up directly, without going through Patreon.

Record of Ragnarok Sigyn

Concept designs for a Record of Ragnarok Sigyn. Full disclosure I haven't actually watch the anime but I did check out the character designs before making this.

I gave Sigyn brighter pastel colors to contrast to Loki darker colors. Also I was just into the idea of Sigyn having really long hair down up in a braid.

"Angrboda & Sigyn chibis!"

I'm not sure if I ever shared this before! But a long time ago, I made some chibi versions of the Loki wives, Angrboda and Sigyn <3

Feel free to use them as stickers or something, I've done the same!! :3

The "golden apple of discord" story would never work in Norse mythology, because the obvious correct answer to "who is the prettiest goddess" is Loki.

LOKI SPOILERS!!!

SO ITS A TREE RIGHT???

For those of you who aren’t familiar with Norse Mythology, there is a tree called Yggdrasil. Now I’m not super familiar with it but it’s generally known as the Tree of Life that houses all the nine realms and every living soul, and is incredibly closely associated with Odin. THIS. IS DRIVING ME CRAZY.

I’m not very knowledgeable on this topic so feel free to add or correct me lmao-

16 Ways to Connect with the Gods when you don't have an Altar

So I'm currently away from home for 10 days (pet/house sitting) and I don't have an altar space with me. I have my tarot deck and that's it. I decided to write this list incase it might help someone else who is away from home or is just in the pagan closet. Enjoy!

Read your Deity's myths or listen to people read myths on youtube

Sit outside and just think about them

Set your phone background to something that reminds you of them

Wear their colours or symbols

Make or listen to a playlist dedicated to your Deity/Deities

Do a digital offering on tumblr or another site

Just talk to them about your day

Write some poetry for them. Anything can be poetry, it doesn't have to be good

Scroll through their tags on social media

If you have coloured shoelaces wear their corresponding colours on your shoes!! (I can't believe i didn't think about this earlier)

Do your make up to honour them

Talk about them in a (dedicated witchy/pagan) discord server

Do something nice for someone. I know it's cheesy but it's cliche for a reason. For me it definitely makes me feel closer to my Gods

Draw/make art of them or one of their symbols

Youtube ambiance videos are great! If your Deity has an association with fire, water, birds, communal spaces or music there are heaps of videos on Youtube that you can play. Think coffee shop ambiance (communal space), waterfall/rain/water ambiance, nature/bird chirping ambiance, fire place ambiance, studying at the library ambiance, etc. endless possibilities

Draw their sigils/symbols on your face with skin care

I hope this helps!! Feel free to add any other tips. I tried to keep these relatively accessible for everyone.
