A Dumb question about ancestor worship
So I know ancestor worship is something I’m interested in, but my blood ancestors are, generally speaking, not great people. Do I have to worship blood ancestors or could I worship my LGBTQ+ ancestors? Busts of Elagabalus and Sappho, pictures of Marsha, Sylvia, Stormé, and more, etc..
What is y’all’s opinion on this?

A Rite of Queer Frith
Beloved and blessed are we the queer
Proud and ever-defiant
Favoured are we by our gods
With hearts and wills of giants
By Freyja's grace, are we imbued
We loving and unyielding
Joyous and vicious against our foes
With gifts of war and healing
Skadhi's vengeance, are we assured
for each of us to fall
Our enemies never victorious
for we are ruthless and eternal
With Fenrir's rage, are we endowed
All packmates, freed in unity
Kith and kin to Chainbreaker
Relentless in pursuit of liberty
Frith to all my comrades, queer
Our love and lives held sacred
By each and every of our gods
Our peaceful future, fated

Yule Protection / Good Luck Charm
For this one, I placed the following items in a sachet:
- sprigs of rosemary, lavender, sage, and a berry from a holly tree (all from my garden)
- clementine peel
- evil eye bead (given by a friend)
- a purpose-made sigil
- a sprinkle of ash from last year's first-burnt Yule log
I then said a spell and sealed the sachet.

Happy Ýlir!
A tender, Wintery kiss for the Goddess Iðunn from the Goddess Skaði. Inspired by an apple tree in our yard that is usually one of the last trees in its area to lose its leaves when the killing frosts and freezes come.
Read more about it on my Ko-Fi~
Prayer cards and prints available!

Fenrispunk is a word for a lot of things. Dialoguing and identifying with Fenrir, with werewolf imagery too, othered from society, reclaiming the 'monstrous'. Who gets to decide your worth, how to live your life, whether you're loveable? Who gets to write the laws and control the narrative? Who gets to decide your humanity?
It's nothing new that queer and other marginalized people turn to the outcasts and monsters in stories, side with the 'underdog' and the villain(ized) - familiar with the traits assigned to us by those who hate our existence.
Queer, transformative, animistic, being in touch with who you are without shame. It's about body autonomy, about breaking free from oppression. Eco & climate activistic against those who seek to chain, dominate and destroy the wild.
Also against moralizing nordic stories into good and evil, and countering the focus on the Aesir (as the good and worshippable heroes) a bit. :P
