Well, let's get our panties out of a twist, eh?

lust-mord:
So some people post shit in the pagan tag. If you take offense to it personally, why don’t you ask the person what they mean and if they understand they are being offensive. Don’t be a twat and just assume shit. It’s really fucking annoying, not to mention childish. You got a beef, go to the source and hash it out like the adults we are.
HA. Says the person posting...

WHY SPELLS ARE MORE THAN RECIPES
littlecitywitch:
Since I answered a few questions on this last night here and here at TumblrCoven, I thought I’d write something on this issue - one that many of us who are more experienced seem to encounter quite often.
There is an important difference between asking for a spell and asking for guidance, help, or advice. I do get slightly irked when people ask me, “Oh, can you give me a spell...

Sinnsreachd-also, hei!
sinnsreachdheathen:
Image from Munro Magic. Graham Scott (r). First blog post. Basically, I’ve made this blog to explore both my own personal spiritual path as well as how I fit into the modern weft of contemporary Heathenry. A little background. I am Heathen, have been for most of my life, from the age of eight. My family is interested in geneology and I grew up near a reserve and was given a...
Fly Agaric Gender Studies

rootandrock replied to your post: August 27th, 2010 II*
I’ve always thought the young cap of a Fly Agaric resembled the Venus of Willendorf. Always got my cogs turning.
OMG, yes! That’s exactly what I told Italic years ago when we first started mushroom picking, and that’s why I got so effin’ excited with phallic agaric - finally a Mister for all of my Missuses!
Two of my...

I was going to reblog and make a much longer post about it, providing a point-by-point rebuttal to this post, but the more I think about it, the more I realise that a point-by-point isn’t necessary, because it comes down to two…

thecrescentgrove asked: If you anon is interested, I may also be able to help, I've had to clear out some awful nastiness a few times, some of it invited in by my grandparents when they were younger and a bit less sensible. It takes a bit of time, and I feel like I'd need more information to help, but still...
alvinia asked: I wanted to thank you for your help on my question, and also had a comment concerning the person who grew up in Appalachia without hearing about AGM until more recently. I had also only heard the term just a few years or so ago (on the internet), but I had always heard people from here talking about "getting feelings", "feeling the signs", and such things like that. From what...
Anonymous asked: and to be honest? i feel like i was so lonely as a kid, i made it all up in my head, then it became real. it was like i invited something in and it hasn't left me since. i've moved homes several times, it follows. i've ran out of options. i don't know what to do.
cosmicpagan asked: I have a pesky spirit or could be a troll in my opinion but when it gets to annoying for me. I will light up some sage around the room(clockwise starting east my preference) throw salt in the corners and tell it go away and ask the powers to help me out. Light up some frankincense. That usually does it for me.
Seriously fucking pissed
mythotica:
I’ve been trying to keep up with the issue thing from Pantheacon and so I’ve been reading the posts but one of them I got so freaking angry I stopped a paragraph in. Right when I read this
to be a women means that you experience your blood mysteries with your period and you are able to sustain a baby in your belly
Really?
So those with a vagina but don’t have a period for whatever...
Just saying.

thiscrookedcrown asked: This is for that anon with the energy in their home. I recently had an annoying entity that slipped through my barriers. I got angry - it helped combat the fear and I made sure it knew I wanted it gone. I threw open the doors and windows, spread sea salt everywhere to confirm my boundaries and negate the negative leftover energy, and I cleansed. Hang a few protection amulets near your bed. Try to...
Anonymous asked: as cliche as it sounds, it lives in the basement. i refuse to go into the basement for any given reason and cannot cleanse this area. im terrified.
Anonymous asked: i'm extremely frightened, something just happened and im not sure what to do. light a black candle maybe? there's an energy in my home that keeps interfering with my sleep, dreams, talking, touching, harrassing me basically. i need it to go but im scared.
mariadkins asked: i grew up in appalachia and never heard the term "granny magic" until somewhere around 2000 or 2001 - and i was past 30 by then. it's one of those things that makes me roll my eyes and shake my head.
straightupwitch asked: (responding to the ask) it's pretty hard to find information on granny magic if you don't have a granny woman around and unfortunately a lot of the really cool practices are passed through families from generation to generation so not all of it is necessarily something you can learn. my best suggestion would be to collect stories from folk in your community and to see what you can piece...
Anonymous asked: RE: Appalachian Granny Magic - There's a podcast (and blog) titled "New World Witchery" that delves into American traditional magic that would be of interest to a lot of your followers. The hosts are amazing and likable with lots of resources and topics. I'm a huge fan :B
alvinia asked: I was wondering if you could point me in a direction to learn about Appalachian Granny Magic? My family is from the Appalachians and I've lived here a long time, so it's something that I've thought I'd be interested to find information on. Google seemed to fail me with my previous searches on it. I'll check the New World Witchery blog to see if I can find anything...
the-third-hobbit asked: hello! long story short, I've ended up living in Norway and I would like to try and research more old Norse/Scandinavian magic and traditions. I can only find books that are watered down myths, or old texts that are hard to translate. I don't even know where to begin to start researching online, and I don't know any witchy folk in my area. Off the top of your head, do you know any...

The pathways based on the practices, rituals, and magick of the early Celtic priestly class known as the Druids. Many expressions of the tradition exist, and their differences have often been cause for dissension in the Pagan community.

Anonymous asked: I believe you said at one point you practice Appalachian Granny Magic. That got me started into researching the hell out of it, as part of my family is from the Ozarks. However, I'm from Florida, been here since I was two. I've been trying to find anything on any traditions that have anything to do with Florida or this region and I am not finding ANYTHING. I was wondering if maybe you...

Silly Witch Talk: Pentagrams! →
page-of-pentacles:
Real talk: I get irrationally irritated when people claim that pentagrams are exclusively a Wiccan symbol. Wicca’s a relatively new craft, chums. The pentagram outdates it by at least 4000 years.
The pentagram is incredibly rich in terms of symbolism—it’s associated with druidry, sacred geometry,…
I don’t usually post Wicca-related things, but this has smarts in...

I haven’t been veiling for very long, it’s true. It’s only been a couple of days.
But I thought I’d make a post on my progress, as this is a day to day thing and I feel that I should be open about whatever positives I’m facing as well as struggles.
First, the struggles. I’ve noticed that…

I constantly feel like I’m going to be laughed at, or cussed out by other ‘pagans’ for being too academic. I have no community, and talking over the internet can only go so far. When I want to make a project in a studio class and I take my polytheistic ideas to critique, I often feel like I can…

Myup! It’s either that or, post personal opinion or something personal=lose followers
I don’t care much about losing followers. I’d rather not have people around if they are gonna be poopheads about personal things. I mean, I love y’all, but if you’re gonna be shitty then feel free to gtfo.

About the Transgender Verse of the Goddess... →
The modern Goddess movement owes its existence, in large part, to the desire of many women to see themselves reflected in expressions of the Divine. This is as it should be; the Divine excludes no one. In Reclaiming we recognize that gender is experienced in many ways by many different people, and we honor each person’s right to live as the people we are, whatever gender we experience ourselves...

A Song for Winter
“Frau Holle shake your blanket
Beira strike your hammer
Let fall the winter snow
Let the East* wind blow
Frau Holle shake your blanket
Beira strike your hammer
Let loose the winter’s cold
Show the world your pow’r
Frau Holle, shake your blanket
Beira, strike your hammer
Give rest to tired ground
Let fall the ice all ‘round.”

I know I’ve read stuff like this, but most of it has been on Tumblr, and I have no idea how to find it at the moment. There isn’t a good Google search term because whenever I Google “pagan” I get so much misinformation that it makes me crys.
I can tell you, however, that I…
Only if you enter it in the giveaway and yell at other people to write things :D
Anonymous asked: Hi, I'm trying to find some essays/articles on Pagan attitudes towards myth: how Pagans reconcile mythology with science, the idea of myths being a different kind of truth, could you recommend anything? Or even the best terms to google? I haven't been turning up anything that seems reliable. Thanks!
dewognatos asked: Thank you for linking to Dun Sgathan! I had found that website a long time ago and forgotten to bookmark it. Now I've found it again.
