    Hail the Aesir and the Vanir!

      The AEsir are nothing but bench-ornaments who can only speak bravely from their chairs. They are fools to think the Vanir will not inherit their rightful place. They did not give over Njoror or Freya to the AEsir just to abandon them. The Vanir are coming back and Njoror for all his Vanir. Odin will soon be Odin the Neither-Eyed and Valhalla will disappear. The light of Vanaheimr will snuff out all sources in the cosmos. Mark the words, Vasilios.
      Best regards,
      t. - A servant of Loki and your friend from the lands of the northern neighbors, who did not succumb to the brainwashing, Lo, Loki had told me everything. The powers that be that shall not be named and their servants, Goce Delcev, Pitu Guli, Sandanski, the Turkomans and the dark powers of Resen herself have drained the inhabitants of the Balkans. Lo, Loki had told me. As a mortal and fellow I would like to thank your people for always being the first to spill your blood. Perhaps the courage of the Hellenes still courses through the blood of many, not dormant. Lo, Loki had told me. None of this is a coincidence :)

    I find it so interesting that he mentioned drinking water from a paw print and that you’ll transform into that animal because my husband just bought a book for our children called “ sister goat “. It’s a folklore tail from Ukraine about two sisters and one of them drinks from the hoof print of a goat and she transforms into one. Such a cute little synchronicity!
    Perhaps I need to add more folklore into my neo-pagan practice!

    It's funny what you mentioned about rolling around in the dew naked. In the Netherlands we have the custom of dauwtrappen on ascension day. Right now it just means that people go cycling in nature very early in the morning. But it used to be you'd walk barefoot through a dewy field. The dew is supposed to be cleansing, and it was done to celebrate the spring. I bet these customs have the same origin!

    I have a question. I would like to use battery operated candles. Only because my building does not allow the real ones. Plus I do have some fear about knocking them over so it is distracting for me. I was thinking that it may be ok because the battery is the element of fire just like a candle. Just like people do readings on the internet and thats using fire also. So I dont feel bad about it, its just I wonder how the Gods see it ? I wonder if spells will work at all using them. what should/can I do about this problem? Thanks....Carolyn

      I personally have never tried that but I know quite a few people who use battery operated candles all the time very successfully ☺️

      I've used battery operated candles on some of my deity altars, and I think they work really well! And if you wanna give something scented to the gods you can either spray cologne/perfume on their altars, or get one of those ultrasonic oil diffusers and put it on their altar, and use whatever essential oil that is associated with them! So, yes, you can still go completely fire-free and still make the gods happy! As for spellwork, there are a lot of spells that don't require burning or candles! Stay awesome, do you, and enjoy your own practice! 😊

    Also no matter what way you look at this Christ came to preach ONE GOD. But yet why do they put his name with the Devil and Baalzebub

    Why do they all speak of Christ ? The wounds under the five are taken away by Christ, the five wounds of the god are the medicine
    the wounds under which you take me away, Christ, the five wounds of God are your medicine.
