I was going through some of the informational stuff youve posted and I was wondering if there’s any significant difference between Galdr and Seidr magic? I read one post on tumblr that stated Seidr is closer to astral, meditation, and nonverbal stuff whereas Galdr is vocal, chants, words, and that sort of thing. While Im sure the two can cross over or blend, what the heck are Galdr and Seidr magic? Could they be “modernized” or are they already sort of universal? Sorry for the bombardment lol

Though they can blend, there are important differences between the two, yes. Putting this under a readmore because it got long.

Quick Witch Tip

  • feeling down in the dumps due to all the energy wishing washing around lately?
  • Not being as productive as you’d have liked?
  • Feeling like you are caught up in a weird space?

💫Take a shower. 💫

Cleanse. I have been feeling like this for about two weeks now, leading up the the full moon with Saturn in Retrograde, Pluto in Retrograde and ALL the post Mercury Retrograde. Phew. So what does one do when caught up in this?

💫Take a shower.💫

Taking a shower for a human witch is like the equivalent of cleansing your (water liking!!) crystals under running water.

Use your Shampoo/Body Wash Scent as a Charm Correspondence! Mine was cranberry scented, so I used it to make myself appear attractive and beautiful/powerful for Bealtaine. Basically Witch’s Valentine’s Day.

  • Mint for Good Luck clarity/sharpness/for getting your point in your interactions
  • Strawberries for sweetness and the cute
  • Etc. Etc.

Stay Sweet and Fresh 💫💫💫💞

What is Hel (the place) like? Who goes to Hel? Is it something to be feared?

trollkunnigr:

theasatrucommunity:

Hel is the realm that most people will see after they perish. Those who do not go to Odin’s or Freyja’s hall after dying in battle will find themselves in Hel. Unlike the Christian adaptation of the underworld, Hel [for the most part] is not a place of punishment and should not be feared. In literature, the realm has been defined to be in eternal Autumn, and the spirits continue their life’s work just as if they were still alive in Midgard. There have been other parts of Hel described to exist to punish law and oath breakers, but for the most part, Hel is a rather pleasant place.

This! Hel (or more accurately Helheim)  is not to be confused with the Christian Hell. 

It is literally just a place that spirits go who were not chosen for Valhalla. The only ones chosen for Valhalla are the absolute best fighters and warriors because Odin wants them to help fight for him at Ragnarok. 

Families and friends are reunited, there are fires, and it is considered to be a place of rest and fellowship. Do not think of this as a negative place. 

Likewise, Hel (or Hela) does not represent the Devil. She is a kind Goddess who is gentle with Spirits and helps the Bereaved family grieve and heal.

If you’re a Norse pagan that sympathizes with the alt-right/neo nazi movement or is a neo nazi that uses Norse pagan symbols, please smash that unfollow button and block me.

I don’t want that filth here.

I’m looking at other  pagans here and begging y’all to reblog this and help us Norse pagans take back the symbols that have been twisted into a mark of hatred

White supremacists and neo nazis have no place on my blog. Please stop tainting my heratige with your bigotry, thanks and have a shitty day.

Yo

If I ever don’t reblog this, assume the trolls have come back for me

This needs reblogging.

I’m a Satanic/kemetic polytheist but nevertheless

I’m a Norse leaning Chaote with a shit ton of beliefs and practices, if I don’t reblog this, assume that my cats have risen up in rebellion, and taken over my house.

Tips on Grimoire Organization

herecomesthewitch:

Please note that if you are using a hard bound notebook or journal, adding in additional pages will bulk up your book, like so: (these are the exact same journals, btw)

image

– Envelopes. Let’s say you’re doing a section on Tarot in your Grimoire, and you want to include a few Tarot spreads, but you don’t want to waste two or three pages. Glue an envelope onto one of your pages to make a “pocket” where you can store little cards or papers with the tarot spreads written on them.

image

– Pockets. Similar to the envelope idea. If you have a page, or section for example, on herbal teas, you can make a pocket out of a piece of paper to keep your current favorite tea recipes in.

image

– Dividers, Cover Pages and Ribbons. If you’re like me and you like to have “sections” in your grimoire, you can easily make dividers by gluing a sheet of paper in your book (to make it heavier to make the sections stand out more). You can go further by turning your divider into a cover page for that section. And if you don’t like the idea doing that, you can always glue a ribbon, or a string, to the spine of your book to act as a bookmark.

– Double pages. I always had a problem with “wasting” pages in my grimoire. For example, my page on consecrating and charging. These two concepts are very similar to me, and I didn’t want two page stating the same thing. So, what I did was write out all my information on charging on a separate sheet of paper, then glued the top of that page into my grimoire. This way I could flip up the page on charging (as if it were on a clipboard) and have my page on consecrating underneath.

image

– Extended pages. Similar to the one above. In my Crystal section of my Grimoire, I decided to write out a chart that let me search for crystals by intention. So I drew my chart on a long sheet of paper, then folded it over (side to side) so that it fit comfortably in my book, then I just glued one side down into the book.

image

– Brochures. In my Elements section, I had a ton of information I wanted to write down, but I didn’t want each element to have more than two pages. So I used a piece of computer paper and folded it into a brochure (or into thirds) and glued it into the book so that the flaps would open and give me double the space to write.

image

– Clear Tape. There are many times where i finished a page in my grimoire only to find out there was a section that I left out. A simply way to fix this was with clear tape. I would write my forgotten bit of into on a separate piece of paper and then use clear tape to tape one side of the paper to my page. This allows me to flip the paper back and forth without covering up anything that I had written.
