Spirit Marriage: What it is

Marriage has looked in many different ways throughout cultures and history. It has been between people of the same or another gender, between two people or more, consensual or forced, for love or pragmatic or even political reasons. People have married objects, monuments, and holograms. And in France, you can even be allowed, under certain

Finally writing about spirit marriage

Ages ago, I mentioned in a post that I was planning on writing about the topic of spirit marriage, but I still haven’t yet. It’s not because I changed my mind; boring old procrastination is mostly to blame, as well as my neurodivergent brain lacking a sense of time. But I’m finally getting around to

In praise of minimalist altars

I often find myself impressed by the images of altars fellow Pagans and Polytheists share on social media. The setups are beautiful and with many objects like crystals, bowls, incense holders, wands, rocks, candles, flowers, etc. While I admire complex altars, I couldn’t have them in my practice.

I noticed that he was wearing a Thor’s hammer in the photo. Curious, I did some web searching and learned that he’s been

Happy Winter Solstice!

Book recommendation: ‘Old Ones in the Old Book: Pagan roots of the Hebrew Old Testament’ by Philip West

The likely political, cultural and historical reasons why He went from being the protector God of Israel to being seen as the only and one true God are

Obsessed with this song: Raven brings runes

The Nordic Animism channel (which you should definitely follow!) released a music video on Sunday. Raven brings runes is the result of the collaborations between different artists and speaks of the connection between humans and humanity and nature. Such an important message in our time:

Why do nazis love wearing Thor’s hammer?

It recently came out that yet another politician from the far-right Sweden Democrats has ties to a neo-nazi group. This time it was Rebecca Ädel, an elected official from Nynäshamn, who was revealed to have been active in the Nordic Resistance Movement. Not only that, but she was a columnist on their website.
