White pagans. You desperately NEED to have a communal conversation about the antisemitism that is running unchecked in your communities.

Just had an interaction with a white pagan who came onto a post about Judaism to talk about how all the “Abrahamic” religions are the same and have been colonizing the world and converting everyone, and that she holds Judaism partially responsible for this because she holds it responsible for the creation of Christianity. Nevermind that Jews have been on the receiving end of that particular brand of Christian violence and oppression for centuries.

Countless times I’ve seen white pagans take their hatred of Christianity and jam it together with their ancestral antisemitism that they have never bothered to unpack, and come out with some truly obnoxious takes. White pagans, you need to be having serious conversations about this in your communities.

broke: midsommar is a girl power movie

woke: midsommar is a horror movie about a manipulative cult

bespoke: midsommar is a litmus test to tell how easily you could be indoctrinated into a cult and if your first thought after watching it is that it was a girl power movie you’re very susceptible to cult tactics and you should be aware of that

responses to the question “you got a name?”, all of which i have used, especially whilst sleep-deprived and/or not paying attention

“i do!” followed by me not saying my name, ever, at any point

“do you?”

“i have many” no idea what i meant w/ that one like, sincerely, and that was probably deeply unnerving or at least moderately unnerving

“possibly? who knows”

“that sure is.. a question. that has an answer”

“yeah..” followed by uncomfortable laughter

Super happy with how this turned out! I used Cottage Garden Threads’ “Nightshade” for the crow, and navy blue for the blackwork and text. So satisfying to watch the blackwork come together. Thank you for making the pattern!

I’m happy so many of you are liking this post our native love god, Lempo.

Unfortunately there are no images of Lempo, only descriptions of him (sometimes her). But Omniverse Battlewiki has a pretty good image of Lempo which goes together with how Lempo is said to look like.

Lempo’s influence is still present in modern Finland, especially in the language. One word for love is lempi which is a direct word from Lempo. In old rimes, lempi wasn’t romantic love but like Lempo, it was erratic, sexual, passionate, consuming and difficult to control. It was possible to bewitch someone under the power of lempi and Lempo himself. One could call out for Lempo to bewitch someone, to make them fall in love with them.

The love Lempo controlled and gave people was All or Nothing. It could easily make people go insane with desire, control, jealousy or heart-break. A woman who is badly depressed over a heartbreak and seems not to be able to heal from this loss (or her love interest not being interested in her) was possessed by Lempo. A man who kills his love rival or his wife when she tries to divorce him was possessed by Lempo.

Women who were in danger of not finding a husband could turn to Lempo and his lempi love, to ask him to deliver them a good husband. Here’s a spell for calling forth such a love:

Rise love to burn wildly honor to shine brightly! Travel the moon, return the day Burn the mind of young men! Let the heart set ablaze the chest into a consuming burn the stomach full with the folk of fire the mind under a scorching hotness So that you can’t sleep during the night nor rest during the day! Burn fire, burn taula-primer Burn the mind of young men! The best for you, not the worst The best among the young men The kindest from the church crowd The strongest one from the warriors The most brisk from above the waters. It’s important to know that native Finns practiced widely witchcraft and were known to be powerful witches (so much that vikings pretty much decided to leave us alone). Spellcasting was common and it was done by singing, mixing later with Christian traditions (as you can see from the spell above; the spell asks for a man who is the kindest among the ones who go to church). In the East and up North, people also turned to guidance and help of different monsters and demons, as they were either kind if treated right or stupid enough to be fooled. This included the devil himself.

That you can see perfectly in Lempo, who is both a monstrous, demonic being and a beneficial entity.

Support your local bakeries, libraries, beekeepers, diviners, and soapmakers. 

Especially if they’re witches. But also if they’re mundane. Keep your town alive, keep those economics flowing, and you’ll build not only great local businesses, but relationships with businesses that you can actually trust.
