Celebrating: Winter Nights

I posted about Winternights on my Instagram the other day, and thought, this would be a great topic to share with all of you, particularly for those interested in Heathenry. So let me tell you something about this old but important holiday.

Mundane Magic: Fiber Craft

Mundane magic remains one of my favourite things, the subtle incorporation of a magical mindset and behaviour in seemingly mundane thoughts and acts. I’ve written about it before a few times in 2021 and 2018, on journaling and tea/coffee. This year I hope to write to you about mundane magic some more, when incorporated into hobbies for example, like fiber crafts that I shall discuss in this blog.

Hurdles on the threads of Wyrd

I continue to find myself struggling to find words for writing, to bring you content on the blog and instead my focus has been on a hurdle that seemed to increase in size overtime. So here I am contemplating the journey, the hurdle, fate or Wyrd and wishing to share those thoughts with you all. This is a bit more personal of a blog and maybe not as practical or uplifting, so if you aren’t interested in reading any of that, just skip this one for now.

As an aside, I did start a blog on Mundane Magic / handcraft in March that I just cannot finish currently, but know it will be coming soon in the meantime.

Unlearning limitations

Hey you, I’m happy to see you here. I’ve been going through a bit of a rough patch for a while now and this blog is about a main thread in that. There are limitations in our lives we are subjected to, but some of those are entirely based on societies ideas of things, not on what they actually are, and others are limitations we create in our own heads based on struggles. I see this a lot with my gender identity vs expression, my ASD and also my spiritual path.

I’m starting a new category, Thoughts of the Journey, for these types of blogs where I want to discuss my thoughts, feelings and other related things to my journey in life as a nonbinary spiritual (heathen) person. I notice that I have more of an urge to talk about my not necessarily entirely spiritual experiences and I want this blog to hold a space for that.

The Heathen Calendar

Hello and welcome back to the blog in 2022! Today I want to talk about the Heathen calendar, reconstructed/interpreted from the Primstav or Runic Calendar. The Primstav is actually a historical piece we’ve found that showed how people tracked time in old Germanic/Scandinavian regions, it’s pretty cool if you think about it, or at least I think so.

Why do I want to talk about it? Part of getting myself, and my bullet journal, ready for 2022 was to set up my heathen calendar events in the new FiloFax Notebook monthly inserts I’d purchased, so I thought I’d take y’all through it on the first day of the month Þorri.
