Let us walk the ancient ways.
Let us honour the Old Gods;
And in so doing, continue the story of the ancestors with our own.

The path is both one and many, as the trunk of a tree spreads out into numerous branches that stretch in all directions, so that one may follow the lore into countless byways and alleys ripe with mysteries.

Tyr's Day blessings.

Ragnarok threads through all being. Twilight is inevitable and shall without doubt swallow the order of things. Yet to this fated end is woven that path we choose to tread towards it. Of honour, or dishonour; of justice or injustice. There is our decision.

I’ve started listening to traditional radio again.
This is primarily because of the stress and anxiety that news from social media and news portals gives you.
Listening to 15 minutes of morning, afternoon and evening news on Indian national radio (Aakashvaani) keeps me updated and stress-free.

Old Holloway path near Huckworthy last April, #Dartmoor, #Devon #oldways #photography #landscapephotography #path

A narrow sunken path fringed by bluebell leaves and trees.

The Old Gods have not returned. They never left. They were simply waiting for those whose blood and bones resonates with their voice heard in the forests and groves, rivers and standing stones, in the moon and stars and the rising and setting sun. Waiting for us to hear and return to them.

Thinking out loud on a walk in the chilly and beautiful spring-like weather. Blessings! 💫

Nice walk up and back down a recently discovered path (for us) and bridleway from Monkton Combe to the top of Midford lane. #oldways #holweg

Dhá Dhrom, Canfea, or the Ardgroom Stone Circle in the Beara Peninsula in Ireland.
Stone circles, dolmen, burial mounds and springs are important in my practice as places of power. These ancestral sites are tremendously powerful. These are the thin places, and by becoming still you can commune with the spirits of place. By honouring these spaces you step into the traditions of ancient humans, and you take your natural place as a being that is part of this great web.

🧵 2- So, Happy Waiting for Spring (this is what #Latvians call this Cross-quarter, unlike the British #Imbolc, which sees #spring already arriving!) for all of us in still cold places 🙂 for those of you actually seeing spring, Happier still! ( and Welcome/Waiting For Autumn for those on the other side of the world 🙂

3- almost the same view as photo 1 in first post (they are numbered in the alt, whether or not they appear in the same order in your display) but a little wider view, so the mound and trees behind it are farther away, and we see some of the dip in the ground, which is the man-made cattle water hole-- just a lower area in the snow, with bits of dry grass showing through. It is sunset, the snow is all dusky shadowed blue with an orange glow where the sun hits it in high spots.The sky is lightly overcast with fine lines of clouds from one side to the other. From the top down, the cloud is pale grey then smokey grey through purply grey, pale stripes, coral to orange with muted violet stripes a bit of distant fluffy cloud catching some golden highlights over the mountains on the horizon. The mountains are hazed and blend in to the puply orange sky. To the right a white ball of sun with golden halo and white and gold bar above it hangs just above some bare trees in the middle distance.

4- similar scene to photo 3, but this one is zoomed and cropped so we just see a bit of shadowed snowy pasture, low dark willows with some frost highlighted, then the hazed mountains, a few fluffy clouds above them, linear cloud above that. This is the sunset zone and the entire band of sky we can see is orange with purply lines and paler bands, the mountains blending in to these colours- as if an orange filter were put on the photo over a blue, grey and violet background.

🧵 1 I finally got my #WinterSolstice blog post finished..lol The blog includes some photos, 3 short videos and some blabber (similar but a bit expanded to what is in the video descriptions) with links to Spectra as well, but I will also put all the video links to YT and Spectra in this thread. #pagan #animist #Latvian #Baltic #OldWays #WinterWonderland
I talk about primal Goddesses, paper masks of light and darkness, dragging the Yule Log, etc

@dhedgehog A #RiceCooker that I used for over 40 years died a year or so ago & I just went back to the #OldWays & cook my rice now on the #StoveTop like my mother taught me how to do over 60 years ago.

I use the #KnuckleMethod to measure the water.

I use a 4qt pot. Add 3 cups of long grain rice. Pour water in/out til it just touches my knuckles & put it on the stove top.

Just takes 25 mins on low heat & it's all done. Never burnt. Never over or under cooked. 🤷‍♂️

Don't need a "stinking" rice cooker. Besides I've got too many #KitchenAppliances already. LOL! 😉

With the conclusion of the rite of Druid initiation, I stand before my Gods and in the company of the ancestors, affirming by the words of the rite that I shall honour them and continue their stories in my own. May the Gods inspire and guide us all!

Selfie taken beside my sacred space following ritual of Druid initiation.

I was raised with the Our Father and now honour the Allfather. From Nailed God to Blind God. From dry dogma to the rich lore of my ancestors whose hearts continue to beat with mine. Whose whispers summoned me since my earliest memories. Whose stories wrote the preface to my own.

“It sounds an almost pitiful predicament. And yet, while it certainly isn’t desirable, some cyber-experts are now advising companies to plan for switching to paper-based processes in the event of IT failure.”

With the sunset this evening, sprigs of fresh yew and heather placed on the sacred space for Freya-Frigg for the approaching Freya-Frigg’s Day.
