According to the folktale, the Giubiana was an old witch, thin, with very long legs and red stockings. She lived in the woods and because of her long legs, she never set foot on the ground, but moved from tree to tree.  On the last Thursday of January, she used to go in search of some children to eat. One mother, to protect her child, decided to set a trap for her. She prepared a large pot full of yellow (saffron) risotto with luganega (sausage) and put it on the windowsill. The Giubiana attracted by the smell, came out of the woods, and began to eat all the contents of the huge pot. The risotto was so good that the ravenous Giubiana did not notice the time passing. She did not notice that the sun, which kills witches, was now about to rise. By the time the Giubiana finished all the risotto, the first ray of sunshine had come out: the Giubiana was thus pulverized by the sunlight, and from that day all the children were saved. To remember that event at the end of January, risotto with luganega is prepared and the puppet in the guise of the old witch is burned. 
The name "Giubiana" seems related to the Roman god Jupiter, but other possible reference figures are Juno, Janus, and Diana. 
In the medieval centuries the popular narrative created a variety of legends and numerous folk tales, in which Giubiana thus became a female figure alluding to the Great Mother, sometimes an old woman, sometimes a witch, a variant of the Befana, to be symbolically driven away along with the rigors of winter. The most distinguishing element of the festival is the great bonfire, which even today is perceived by all as a symbol of renewal and a new year's restart.

Legolas: *sees a bunch of people do stupid shit* Okrea, save their souls. Akami, give me the patience to endure these fools.
Elladan: Why do you do that?
Legolas: do what?
Elladan: why do you invoke “Okrea” and “Akami”?
Legolas: ... because Okrea is the godess of exploration (regardless of how stupid it is) hence me praying to them to help those souls. And Akami is the goddess of war, hence my patron as a warrior?
Elrohir: what my brother means to ask is: why do you pray to these ‘gods’ who you’ve never seen, instead of the valar, whom you know exist?
Legolas: because i know the valar exist, and that’s exactly why i don’t pray to them.
Elladan: wha- but the valar are real!
Legolas: the valar are real, but never done a thing to help my people. My gods, however? I might not be able to meet with them face to face like you do with yours, but my people have been worshipping them since before Orome came and we’re still here, alive and kicking. Which is more than i can say about most of your kin, who have long since started to abandon these lands.

Don't kill me but I honestly think Yunaka sounds WAY better in the Japanese version and it has nothing to do with the EN voice actress and EVERYTHING to do with the En localization.

Aphrodite
Ourania, of whom many sing, laughter-loving Aphrodite, Sea-born, birth-giving Goddess, who loves to watch all night, holy one, causing mortals to mate at night, wily mother of Necessity. For everything comes from you, and you have bound the Cosmos. You are sovereign over the Three Realms and are the origin of everything, That which is in the Sky, in the fruitful Earth, And in the deep Sea, holy attendant of Bacchus. You delight in festivity, nuptial, mother of the Erotes, Oh Seductive-one who enjoys making love, secretive, joy-giving queen, Obvious yet hidden, aristocratic daughter with the beautiful hair, Bridal, dining companion, sceptered by Gods, she-wolf. You give us our progeny, lover of man, desirable one, life-giver. You couple mortals in unbridled necessity And the many kinds of wild beasts, frenzied from your charms of love. Come divine bud born in Cyprus, whether you are in Olympus, Royal Goddess, delighting in your beautiful countenance. Or on your throne in Syria, rich in frankincense, Or riding through the plain in your golden chariot, Or flanked by your priests at the fruitful River of Egypt, Or riding your swan-drawn carriage upon the waves of the Sea, Rejoicing in the circular dances of cetaceans. Or you delight yourself with the dark-eyed Nymphs on the divine earth, As they lightly leap upon the sandy beaches of the seashore. Or when seated in Cyprus, oh queen, with your nurse, where your beautiful maidens and virgin Nymphs through all the year Sing of you, happy one, and immortal holy Adonis. Come, blessed Goddess, who possesses an exceedingly lovely form, For I summon you with pure words and devout soul.
Οὐρανίη, πολύυμνε, φιλομμειδὴς Ἀφροδίτη, ποντογενής, γενέτειρα θεά, φιλοπάννυχε, σεμνή, νυκτερίη, ζεύκτειρα, δολοπλόκε μῆτερ ἀνάγκης· πάντα γὰρ ἐκ σέθεν ἐστίν, ὑπεζεύξω δέ τε κόσμον· καὶ κρατέεις τρισσῶν μοιρῶν, γεννᾷς δὲ τὰ πάντα, ὅσσα τ’ ἐν οὐρανῳ ἐστι καὶ ἐν γαίῃ πολυκάρπῳ, ἐν πόντου τε βυθῷ· σεμνὴ Βάκχοιο πάρεδρε, τερπομένη θαλίῃσι, γαμοστόλε, μῆτερ ἐρώτων· πειθοῖ λεκτροχαρής, κρυφίη, χαριδῶτι ἄνασσα, φαινομένη τ’, ἀφανής τ’, ἐρατοπλόκαμ’, εὐπατέρεια, νυμφιδίη, σύνδαιτε, θεῶν σκηπτοῦχε, λύκαινα· γεννοδότειρα, φίλανδρε, ποθεινοτάτη, βιοδῶτι· ἐνζεύξασα βροτοὺς ἀχαλινώτοισιν ἀνάγκαις, καὶ θηρῶν πολὺ φῦλον, ἐρωμανέων ὑπὸ φίλτρων· ἔρχεο, Κυπρογενὲς θεῖον γένος, εἴτ’ ἐν’ Ὀλύμπῳ ἐσσί, θεὰ βασίλεια, καλῷ γήθουσα προσώπῳ, εἴτε καὶ εὐλιβάνου Συρίης ἕδος ἀμφιπολεύεις, εἴτε σύ γ’ ἐν πεδίοισι σὺν ἅρμασι χρυσεοτεύκτοις Αἰγύπτου κατέχεις ἱερῆς γονιμώδεα λουτρά, ἢ καὶ κυανέοισιν ὄχοις ἐπὶ πόντιον οἶδμα 20 ἐρχομένη χαίρεις νεπόδων κυκλίῃσι χορείαις· ἢ νύμφαις τέρπῃ κυανώπισιν ἐν χθονὶ Δίᾳ, θυιὰς ἐπ’ αἰγιαλοῖς ψαμμώδεσιν ἅλματι κούφῳ· εἴτ’ ἐν Κύπρῳ, ἄνασσα, τροφῷ σέο· ἔνθα καλαί σε παρθένοι ἀδμῆται νύμφαι τ’ ἀνὰ πάντ’ ἐνιαυτὸν ὑμνοῦσιν, σέ, μάκαιρα, καὶ ἄμβροτον ἁγνὸν Ἄδωνιν. ἐλθέ, μάκαιρα θεά, μάλ’ ἐπήρατον εἶδος ἔχουσα· ψυχῇ γάρ σε καλῶ σεμνῇ ἁγίοισι λόγοισιν.

Just read a comment under a magireco Madoka's magical girl sequence that said "now Madoka is a badass" and I was like HUH
Like did some of you watched episode 12 blindfolded and with ear plugs? Because I don't think you guys truly grasp the scope of what Madoka did that episode: The Incubator has been on earth for a MILLENNIUM, meaning that has been thousand of girls before Madoka who have tried to outsmart his system and met a terrible fate for their attempts, but only Madoka has been able to beat him, do you guys understand that? The smartest and strongest girls have tried, but something always thwarted their plans—be it their potential not being that high or Kyuubey twisting their words so it would be in his favor instead—But Madoka had something they didn't and it was her circumstances (Homura and the timeloops), Madoka knew her wish would come at a great sacrifice, but just like Homura said in Rebellion "She rose to the occasion" because she knew it was something only she could do; No one would ever have the perfect circumstances to make that wish like Madoka. So, she did it.
When Madoka made her wish and Kyuubey hesitated for the first time in the series because he understood the implication of it, Madoka said to him: "Now, grant my wish, Incubator." When Kriemhild Gretchen was born and Kyuubey thought he had the advantage back again because this witch could literally swallow a planet and Madoka killed her with one shot. Madoka won, essentially. Like her system isn't perfect, Kyuubey isn't dead, and there's still suffering, but it was the best wish for the magical girl kind as a whole, and all improvements are only possible by what Madoka did here. She played within the Incubator's system and rewrote it. She is the most powerful character in the whole franchise and arguably one of the most powerful characters in anime. "But didn't Homucifer defeated Madokami?" Well, sort of. Homura's win is, ironically, also due to extreme circumstances, only Homura could've done that and only within this one scenario: and even when she won it's heavily implied that if Madoka even has a slightly moment of deja vu it's over for her, she can't win against Madoka on fair terms so even Homura herself can't achieve that feat again. That's just how powerful Madoka is.
Do you guys understand that?
And here's the thing: my problem with that statement isn't even that I don't think magireco Madoka isn't as cool as Madokami, I think she's badass too. Is just like, I thought we all thought Madoka was cool as herself?? Like even without being a magical girl or a fucking godess, Madoka was cool as shit. When Madoka risked her own life to save the lives of her friends and strangers at the warehouse? She had no powers, no backup, and had just watched Mami die to a witch and yet she still followed Hitomi. But people only want to see Madoka's character as what the witch showed her afterwards, her own survivors guilt and perceived weakness and cowardice over wanting to live and not be a magical girl despite what she promised Mami, and yet the scene prior to this conflicts with this idea. Madoka not only can risk her life for others and save them when the need arises, but she already has. Even without being a magical girl. It's just who she is. This, to me, is one Madoka Magica's core strenght as a show that Madoka spent the majority of it being the most "powerless" in almost every scenario and yet she still tried her best to overcome things, even when it didn't work It was never worthless, if anything it proved her own strenght of character and without it she would've never gotten as powerful how she is today.
If Madoka hadn't been kind to Homura on her first day of school, if she hadn't done the simple act of reaching out to someone she thought was kind shy, none of this would've have happened. Her kindness did this, not any other power.
My favorite thing about Madoka's character arc is that Madoka starts as a very naive opmitimisc girl and with a somewhat sheltered view of of the world, then she goes throught horrors few can understand and while she could (understably) become bitter with the world and grow to despise it, Madoka comes of it realizing...she was right. Madoka has felt the pain the world could give her in her own skin, has literally died, and she now thinks Hope is needed more than ever. And it saddens me a lot when people don't understand how strong and cool she is because of that, to be hurt and choose to be kinder and more understanding to yourself and the world in return, because the world can be better we just can't give up...
Basically what I'm saying with this that if you don't like Kaname Madoka, fuck you—

My Sister in Christ, I Pray you Throw off the Shackles of the deadly delusion you've felt before being Reborn.
The Voices of all your Ancestors are calling out to you. Listen closely, and you'll hear them.
They are Screaming. Bursting with Joy at what You are Doing to Yourself, how you are Chemically Enhancing yourself and slowly but surely Transforming yourself into a Living Godess. Your Great-Grandfather and his Father before him and all their Forefathers have been deeply touched by the way you are embracing your Divinely-Ordained Transsexual Body.
You always have to Remember your Truth. You were born a Transsexual. Forces beyond your control made you Stray from The Path of Sacred Transsexuality, and made you Forsake your God-Given Transsexual Nature. But it was still a part of you, no matter how much Others Denied or Attempted to Erase It.
Your Fate has in it embedded a Transsexual Greatness, just like every single Transsexual born on this good Earth, it is written in the Stars for All of Us.
You Cannot Change Fate, No Matter How Hard You Try.
It is Never too late to Embrace your Essence and who you Truly are, underneath all the masks, disguises, drugs, pharmaceuticals and covers.
A Holy Bearer of the Sacred Essence of Life:
Tumblr media
I Pray For You, My Reborn Sister.

The Battle of Hjørungavåg - for the Mythtalia March by @hwsevents
-
"Never have Danes held such a battle with Norwegians, not before nor since" - Fagrskinna.
-
The battle of Hjørungavåg took place outside the Norwegian coast in the year 986, and was a sea battle between an invading Danish army and a defending Norwegian one. It was a battle of great national significance as the ruling Earl Håkon defended the country against the Danish King Svein Tjugeskjegg aided by the Joms Vikings, who wanted to take control over Norway and christen it.
The battle begun after some farmers tricked the Danes into believeing Earl Håkon only had 2-3 ships with him. They charged forth and got surprised by 50 ships lying in wait for them.
It was a fierce battle, and despite the element of surprise, the Norwegians suffered heavy losses early on. Most of the losses were with Earl Håkon, who fought against Svein Tjugeskjegg, a fight so intense that he had to shed his chainmail as it had become torn apart by all the weapons hitting him. Håkon's sons Eirik and Svein Håkonson fought against the Joms Vikings, Eirik saving his brother. This is when the battle turns.
Suddenly, a terrifying storm hits, with fierce waves of hail. The storm seemed almost magic and supernatural, and on the side of the Norwegians. Had the pagans used dark magic? It is said that Earl Håkon had sacrificed his 7 year old son Erling in a ritual for victory (probably false). The Earls of Lade had a connection to the female godess and spirit Torgerd Hølgebrud, who was called on whenever the family was in need. She came along with her sister and other valkyries on horses with bows and arrows, sending hail towards their enemies.
Torgerd is interpreted as an ancient fertility spirit, and these spirits are also connected with a warrior aspect. They protected certain families and are some of the oldest creatures in the pre-Christian Norse religion.
The supernatural warrior spirits was a convenient excuse for why Svein Tjugeskjegg fled the battle; it was impossible to fight against gods and trolls. It also supported the savage ways of the pagan religion.
As Svein flees, he leaves the Joms Vikings behind to be captured by the Earls. They were about to be executed by beheading, but one of them managed to get a hold of the sword and chop the head off the man about to kill him. Eirik Håkonson is impressed by this and grants them their freedom.
