hey hey those who listen to my playlists. Should I add the weeknd song from dawn FM to one of them. It fits. It's a space themed playlist (I'm doing double feature tonight). Or would that upset you

#Esp @ slavicafire and kordierit bc I know u guys check them out 🥺 if u see this lmk. I'm not sure if it would really match #maurycy talks

today marks another birthday for this sweet, wonderful, kind, and amazing creature that goes by the name Żmija. nearly popping out in the fall, but with her heart as hot and impatient as the sun of july morning, she rushed for the last days of summer where she truly belongs - so of course, a summertime portrait it is :-)

wishing you the happiest and most love-filled of celebrations, @slavicafire -from yours truly and yours forever :-)

ms. slavicafire im so fascinated by ur posts. u dream about feasting on the blood of a man knowing he is terrified, ur ex obeys u and u want to call him a good boy. obsessed with that dynamic tbh💖

ah, as extreme as I am in my hunger, so am I in my generosity - being good does deserve praise, dear stranger.

and terror does make the blood sweeter, too. like sugar - and it's only infinitesimally worse for one's health, truly.

Musical Owl Monday - Three Song Asks

Good morning my feral darlings.

I realise it has been a while since we've had a regular Musical Owl Monday. It's taken longer than I expected to get back into the swing of things, but I appreciate your patience nonetheless.

As I have absolutely no plan prepared, I thought I would take some inspiration from the owl I received yesterday from @antisocial-sheep and centre today around @slavicafire's "the three songs" ask set.

I shall add my own little twist and say that you are not limited to the following list. You are also welcome to go off script and come up with your own questions if none of the ones already offered tickle your fancy.

If you so desire to make a proper exchange of it, also include your own three choices for whichever ask you send.

No limits today on the number of asks sent and as always, never worry about repeated songs.

Last call is Midnight, GMT

1. three songs that come up when you put your phone on shuffle 2. three last songs you listened to 3. three songs you were recently obsessed with 4. three songs that you know thanks to your parents 5. three songs you wish you could forget (because listening to them hurts) 6. three songs you wish you could erase from history (because they're terrible) 7. three songs you didn't expect to like but eventually loved 8. three songs that remind you most of summer and vacation 9. three songs that get you in the Christmas Mood 10. three favourite Halloween/spooky songs 11. three favourite songs from movie or TV series soundtrack 12. three favourite songs from video games 13. three songs you want at your funeral 14. three songs you want at your wedding 15. three songs you want to dance with your love to 16. three favourite songs for sex 17. three songs that remind you of your crush 18. three songs that remind you of your best friend 19. three songs that are your guilty pleasure 20. three songs that remind you of the person who sends this one 21. three songs of your childhood 22. three songs you listen to when you're sad 23. three songs that never fail to get you pumped up 24. three favourite old songs 25. three favourite songs of 2017 26. three favourite non-English songs 27. three songs that you sing while drunk 28. three best songs to get drunk or high to 29. three songs that influenced you most (some songs change or save lives) 30. three songs you really want your followers to know (for reasons other than all those above)

To get us started, I shall choose:

#1. three songs that come up when you put your phone on shuffle

Wolf Brothers: GOAT [🐐]

The wild side of the indomitable goat swirling with the learthery darkness of the mountain roads. Mushrooms and truffles conjur the habitat; and the dirty, bestial, almost aggressive side of the creature is felt through goat's milk, costus and oud. An earthy, woody, animalic fragrance denoting strength and virility.

Faeces, musk, and fur? We never stood a chance. 😍😍😍

Going to tag @upyrica, @zarya-zaryanitsa, and @slavicafire b/c 1.) Wolf Brothers is a Polish perfume house, 2.) you can nab samples off their site, and 3.) their scent catalog includes wolf, wisent, bear, goat, deer, and boar. <3

oh my dear, my darling, have you not seen black sails yet?

i have not!! (Yet being an operative word here. I keep meaning to)

[zarya-zaryanitsa]

hello! i just found your blog and the amount of research you have about slavic folklore and faith is so cool. i look forward to going through it to learn more. do you have any recommendations for other blogs that post similar content (extra bonus if they post about south slavs specifically)?

Let me see.

For Slavic paganism and folklore you might enjoy Lamus Dworski, Slavicafire, Upyrica, Lug Velesa or Ruthenian-Knyaz though some of them don’t post on here anymore.

Additionally with less pagan setting you can find some wonderful Slavic folk dress, art and customs with Orisnitsa, Zvetenze, Eastern European Crafts, Polish Costumes or Vintage Ukraine.

Hope you have a good day!

I received these stamps for Christmas from my husband. I know that the one on the bottom right is drowning Morana/Marzanna. Can anybody help me identify the folk customs on the other three stamps? @slavicafire ? @zarya-zaryanitsa ? I know you guys are in Poland but there are often similarities to Czech folk customs. Thank you in advance to anyone who can help.

There is a song ask going around.. since you has a sense for good music... do you mind if I ask one of the questions from @slavicafire

“the three songs” ask set? what are your three favourite non-English songs?

Don't mind at all.

Again, I dislike labelling anything as my top favourites because it always depends on my mood, but here are three non-English songs I love.

[slavicafire]

Dear Slavicafire,

If fate may have it, please bestow me with your patience and wisdom, as it seems I have found myself in a situation.

You see, a dear and precious soldier, a part of my family, passed away after two months of restlessness. I've been in such great emotional and spiritual agony that I've been unable (moreso unwilling) to go out, to talk to people, to eat, to read, anything but sleeping, and painting in complete silence. It is the only way I can let time heal me, and I will need a lot of time.

So, I find myself trapped by no other than my friends. They know how I am. They know me from my introversion to my coping mechanisms and still they have persistently refused to let me rest and weep. It's not about checking on me, it's about asking me to go out. To party. For coffee. To a public pool. I expressed my sadness, I never respond to their 'Are you okay? 's and I can SEE they realize I am not.

Day after day, they persist.

I'm at a breaking point where I may shun them from my life with no other warning anymore and maybe re-appear to what has been left in a month or two. I decided to be the better version of myself and hold on just a little longer just to see what happens.

How do I carefully tell them to kindly leave me alone to mourn when they know I need the time and distance already (explicitly stated) and that they cannot be of help at such a time?

All my kindest wishes to you, and may you rarely encounter the unfortunate events I have these days.

first, I am very sorry for your loss - and for the way your grief is misunderstood, too.

now, the thing is about grief is that no one else can fully understand what you are going through - it's not something that can be described perfectly to another soul, and two people can be utmost alike in every aspect yet their grief will not be the same. but still, people want to understand - and they want to help, even if they do it awkwardly or do more harm than good. your friends have the best intentions - and grief, sticky thing, affects them too, even if in the smallest of ways. they care about you and they want to help - just expressing your sadness or not replying to their questions is not enough for them to even begin to understand your grief.

instead of shutting them off, you must give them a way to help with your grief. it might sound tough or unfair, but it is something that we owe to our friends.

you must give them a way to help you that meets two criteria: it's something that you need, one, and two, it's something they can provide. silence and leaving you alone isn't the solution - it might be what you feel that you need, but it's not something they can provide.

explain to them, even if briefly, that hounding you to get out and go out isn't what you need from them right now, and then tell them: what I need from you - phrase it directly, that you do need this from them - is X and Y and Z.

now, think about that XYZ. perhaps it's running some errands for you when you don't have the strength to do it. ordering dinner to your house so you don't have to cook on a weekend. perhaps helping you clean when dishes or laundry pile up, or walking your dog, or even making sure that your friend group has support in each other and everyone keeps the others in check so they don't become overbearing towards you.

you know your situation and you know your friends - give them some way to help. sometimes, even if the face of overwhelming grief, thinking about how to keep your friends busy might be a welcome break from the silence and the painting, on your own terms and in your own tempo.

best of luck, dearest stranger, and might your grief ease soon, taken in by the soil of your heart and tended until it's not a dead seed anymore. stay strong.
