That moment when two different kinds of pagans/witches live together lol. We have no more room for our books.

@diimmortalesolympians is gonna take the Ravenwolf book and paint over it to make a grimoire and I’m super proud of them

GASP I HAVE THREE OF THOSE BOOKS

Yay! Do you like them?

Most of my books I had to leave behind when I moved states 😦

Aww that sucks! I actually haven’t read many of them unfortunately 😅 i hope you can get more books soon!

I hope you have lots of fun when you read them! I know some of the books I have are from an author I hate but she’s the only one who writes about Sigyn. I’ve been going through them and editing it with notes and citations and ranting to my kindred when she’s being an ass.

Yike! Which author is that so i can keep it in mind?

Galina Krasskova.  She’s known for a lot of problematic things.  I’ve got a tag on my main about it if you wanna take a look.

Yeah, I have books from her and EV that I really don’t know what to do with other than trash them. I absolutely am not going to donate them, and I don’t like the inks Lulu uses for composting. But I hate throwing books in the regular trash.

Paint over them and use them as grimoires or journals. That’s what a friend of mine has done with some of hers. It’s what my roommate is doing to her Silver Ravenwolf book.

It’s perfectly fine to not believe in God for yourself. It’s not okay to mock the people who do believe in God or act like anyone who does believe in God or the concept of God is childish/ignorant/unintelligent/uneducated. You being atheistic isn’t a sign of higher intellect or better reasoning skills. Just like being religious isn’t a sign of heightened morality or greater kindness.

Friend: Yeah, I don’t think that there are ANY religions that aren’t inherently sexist –
Me, suddenly veiled in glistening light, claspiing the poetic Edda: Do you have a moment to talk about our partner-in-crime and eternal pain in the ass: Loki, gender-bending child of Laufey?
