hello there potentially more experienced witches/wiccians/etc

i need help with a question

i'm new to working with deities, and what i've been trying (and unfortunately, failing) to figure out is:

if i wanted to work with/worship more than one deity, do that have to be from the same, idk what else to call it, mythological set?

like if i wanted to work with loki from norse mythology and a different deity from, idk, greek mythology

could i do that? or would there be conflict/consequences?

Man... why is it so hard to find normal Gaelic pagans?

Dude. Tell me about it. I suffer everyday.

If I had to guess though—my guesses would be:

1. The Isles were Christianized earlier than, say, Scandinavia, and big swathes of the Slavic regions, so there were less years of recorded pagan practices that we have knowledge of extending into the beginning and middle of the Medieval period.

2. For one reason or another, there’s been a big revival of interest in Norse/Germanic practice. This isn’t necessarily a recent thing, either. You had Wagner heavily leaning into Germanic myth and aesthetics with his Ring Cycle. You had, whether you agree with him or not, Adolf Hitler and his men rejecting the church’s hold on Germany and reviving interest in Germanic belief (what Adolf Hitler and those closest to him personally believed is a whole other can of worms and too long for this post.) the West is fascinated with Norse-Germanic belief and “Viking” aesthetics because I think in many people’s view, the Norse were the last holdout against the tide of Abrahamism in Europe (which unfortunately does a massive disservice to the Slavs and Balts who often held out for much longer, even until the Soviet period). More recently, you have groups like Wardruna and Heilung and their many copycats rising to popularity. You have (ugh) the show Vikings, which, for better or for worse, brought Norse belief and Viking Age culture back into the public eye. Piggybacking off the popularity of that was Robert Eggers’ masterpiece The Northman. You don’t have a lot of this with Celtic culture, either Islander or continental, because:

3. Protestantism simply put, did not succeed in keeping hold of Scandinavia and the northern parts of Germany like Catholicism did for Ireland, for France. That statement might piss people off, but the difference in how secular Sweden is versus Ireland is pretty staggering. (Yeah, yeah, I know, racial and religious demographics are rapidly shifting and people will ask what about Scotland, what about Wales? It’s complicated.)

4. FUCKINF. WICCIANISM. Gerald Gardner and Rocket Graves, may they suffer for eternity, did untold damage to Islander paganism. Gardner cherry-picked from many European traditions, but he used (cherry-picked) Islander Celtic belief as the glue to hold it together, and mixed that with Thelema, and Khabbalah, which, do I even have to explain why neither of these things have no place in Europe? He and Graves took advantage of the burgeoning pagan revivals and general disillusionment with Christianity people had after WWII. Robert Graves’ The White Goddess is now used as a blueprint for reconstructing Celtic paganism. Despite the fact that he couldn’t back up any of his “research” and couldn’t cite a single source, and that nearly every single academic that studies pre-Christian European belief has rejected it as utter nonsense, I STILL see people claiming to be “Druids” who cite this book. So you have The White Goddess, and Wiccanism/New Age nonsense, which has been bleeding for decades into any genuine attempt at reconstruction. People tend to see the hippie or Earth mother types that flock to this and think. “Yeah, no thanks.”

There are no recent, big budget, well-filmed, well acted movies that depict any of the Irish, Scottish, Welsh, or Cornish (yeah, remember them? Barely any one else does) myth. Almost no one knows how much Celtic blood is in all of Europe. In Greece, in the southern Slavic countries, in Italy, in Switzerland, and the Netherlands and Austria. Bavarians can up to nearly 50% Celt DNA! So can Spaniards! There are no cool depictions of naked Gauls slathered in blue woad hurling themselves at Roman soldiers, ripping their shields apart with their bare hands, running up their shield walls and diving into the fray, racing through Europe in their immaculate chariots. It’s sad. I’d give my right arm to see a Robert Eggers directed movie about that, or about Fion mac Cumhail. The Celts were just as fierce and powerful as any Viking raider you can name, and what do we get? Derry Girls and movies about The Troubles. Which is fine. Ireland in 1900 and more recently was certainly not a boring place to be. But there’s just so much more.

Best we can do, friend, is keep making people of Celtic heritage aware of their history, their people, their gods, and make THAT Celtic history popular in the culture.

Then we get our Robert Eggers Gaul movie.

trick or treat !!!

A witch! Old English wicce "female magician, sorceress", feminine of wicca "sorcerer, wizard", from verb wiccian "to practice witchcraft". Further than than is controversial though! There is a suggestion of connection with Proto-Germanic *wikkjaz "necromancer", from Proto-Indo-European root *weg- "to be strong, be lively".

Source with more details here!

Cards: This you; work on those damn WIPs my guy. PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER, MAN! (/j)

Also when the Snake card came out I thought to myself, "Hmm, feeling like this means a lot to him." I had no idea that you had dreams that had them as symbols. The Moth card is also a Luna Moth btw.

And as a side note, you now have three swords due to your reading... and a merperson; do what you will with that information.

TW: Religion: Mentions Paganism, Wicca, Christianity, Religious Trauma

I am actually a type of Pagan! I personally follow along after the Norse God Loki for main deity. So, snakes are a big symbol for me! I will often have dreams which include random snakes or a specific brown snake that will give me guidance.

Due to some religious trama from Christianity and my evil grandmother I decided to take to paganism and I find its much more fulfilling!

It's also much more fun to believe in a religion that premotes magic! Besides, magick also WORKS. (speaking from experience) My group believes in karma, not using magicks for evil and generally not having a set hierarchy. We each have our own specializations! My Bestie ---LUNA--- reigns more in the domain of fortune telling than I do, but I'm pretty darn good with Runes!

ON THAT NOTE: I MUST CLARIFY-- I am NOT a Wiccan. Wicca and Wiccan symbols are very commonplace in the American pop culture front, but many people don't know how strict Wicca can really be!

I don't have anything against Wiccians, their practices are just not for me!

i hate how i wanna make my book of shadows but i also hate paper. i fucking hate paper. i hate the sound, feel, smell and sight of paper it's so obnoxious i hate paper i hate it i hate it.

(for those who don't know a book of shadows is something a wiccian keeps to keep track of their magical/spirtual journery and such. pretty much just to keep track of what they learn about the religon.)

SO YOU MEAN TO TELL ME, as of next week, ON TOP, of everything else, Wanda may have to also:

Lose her kids

Lose the Vision she made

Kill ANOTHER two Visions (White Vision and WestView Vision)

Still not have her brother

Realize she has been hurting people when she never meant too

Become an enemy of the state and have to go on the run

Truly face her demons (a thing millions of millennials can’t do who haven’t had to save the earth many times)

HAHAHAHAHAH I’m gonna break in half on her behalf.

I say with my whole chest WANDA MAXAMOFF DESERVES HAPPINESS AND PEACE AAHHHHHHHHHHH
