Sámi Creation Myths

Within the Sámi animistic view, the Sun and the Earth were the first in existence. The Sun is the father and the Earth is the mother of all. These two entities gave birth to the creatures that now roam the earth.

Every thing has descended from the divine, not just been created. The Sun and the Earth also had a Son and Daughter. These were also notable legendary figures, semi-divine and curious of the new world.

In searching, the Son found another world beyond the Sun and Moon. The Sun does not shine here. In fact, the rays of the Sun destroy the brothers of the giant maiden, “…The Suns rays melt them/Turn their foreheads to stone…” (Gaski, 101). From this we may assume that the Sun did not create the giants or the land that they inhabit. There are other creative forces for life in the universe, not just the children of the Sun. By mixing his blood with the giantess, the Son created the Gállá-bártnit, a new people on the earth. From these new people came forth the Sámi as descendants.

This creates the idea of the Sun and Earth as parents, rather than creators. The Sámi worldview allows for other races of people and origins to exist. It is a worldview for their people, tolerant of others and able to accept new ideas from outside perspectives.

For the Sámi, they exist because of a physical union. The Gállá-bártnit are their ancestors. They married and had children that became the Sámi themselves. The Gállá-bártnit exist because of the Son of the Sun and his bride. With this we see the strong emphasis on relationships and unions between people.

In the Sámi creation myths, women are equal to men. In the beginning of it all there is the Sun, a father, and the Earth, a mother, for all creatures. There is not the interpretation of a single male god to be found within Sámi myths. In “The Son of the Sun’s Courting in the Land of the Giants” the maiden is not weak or subordinate. The Son is not seeking a servile bride. He is looking for a companion, someone to bolster him when he needs it and to share in the joys in his life.

The Daughter of the Sun is an extremely important figure, a benevolent spirit for the Sámi who tries to protect them. She is “… the Sámi people’s best ambassador to the powerful force of the Sun…”(Gaski, 81) The anxiety of the poem is because the Daughter of the Sun often intercedes on the people’s behalf, and with her imminent passing, she fears for the future of her people. She is an extremely important figure to the Sámi, equal in stature to any of the other heroic forebears. All of this leads to an idea of equality between genders in the community. Labor may still be divided within Sámi society, however there is no subjugation or subordination to be imposed based on religious belief.

My Thoughts on The Ever Queen (The Ever Seas, Book 2) by LJ Andrews

Sharing my thoughts on the Ever Queen by LJ Andrews, the conclusion of Erik and Livia's tale.

The Ever Queen by LJ Andrews is the second novel in the Ever Seas series, a Broken Kingdom spin-off series and the end of the love story between Erik and Livia. While it may be the end of their love story, this book does set up the tales of other stories following the next generation and new characters that we’ve met in the Ever. You do not need to read the Broken Kingdom series to understand…

Happy Almost 2024! Very pleased with these three new prints for 2024!

Three new designs: - My annual Loki Kintsugi print for 2024 encompassing the idea that we can root and flourish. - To ring in The Year of the Wood Dragon- a dragon coiled about a beautiful tree- its horns mimicking the branches and its tail curled in the roots (I'm a dragon myself so I'm pretty thrilled I got to do this :>) - Lastly a devotional print for Bast featuring some of her symbols- onions, hibiscus, perfume, kittens (for children)- and of course Bast herself loosely based off an Egyptian Mau :> You can find them at biolumenpress(dot)com :>

I always thought Thor isn't for my taste to be honest. But looking back I always find myself bounce back to hot himbo once in a while.

Heimdallr and Gulltoppr by Dorothy Hardy

Been thinking about applying the myth where Thor has to pretend to be a giants bride to get his hammer back (you know the one, right??) to the TBI characters. Doubt I'll write it out but I have SO MANY THOUGHTS ON IT. My main thought atm being that, from what I remember, Heimdall was the first person to suggest Thor cross dress. Which is just. The excuse to right out Heimdall's involvement is almost as enticing as getting to write out Tyr. He's just. So silly to me. But so badass. I love him.

I can see everyone in the TBI setting at some grand meeting table for the Aesir (and co.) with Thor freaking out about his poor hammer (which, yes seems tricky to write in TBI context but. We'll just patch that plothole it with something later, I have a loose thread idea or two.), Freya desperately trying to avoid involvement in the entire debacle, Loki concerned but still trying not to giggle at the absurdity while Sigyn kicks her under the table to tell her to stop laughing. Heimdall leans over the table towards Thor, trying to remain stoic but his small smirk and gold eyes glittering with Loki approved mischief somewhat gives him away as he suggests, "If we don't want to risk our dear stunning lady here, and you need your hammer back, why don't you be Freya?"

Loki loses it laughing and most of the table can't help but laugh or giggle quietly, including Sigyn. Thor is immediately against the idea, but Loki is already signing up to be his handmaiden in between gasps of giggles (because she would never miss out on such good mischief), and really the idea is such a hit that Thor is sorely outvoted.

The story is still brought up for years to come, typically for a laugh at Thor's expensive. Still no one could deny he looked damn good in that dress.

#UGH i love them. i care them lots #need to write about this and also something tyr related. probably tyr and fenrir obviously but like ... fluff with an unhappy ending ya know #want to draw attention to tyr and marius von raum to but. that's unrelated to this post ssshhhh brain #in the myth the other usually poke fun (bullying him hardcore) at their matcho man having to wear as dress and be feminine #but this is 2023 not a post christian nordic myth. we can acknowledge that if the dress is fitted properly he was probably hot as fuck in it #also loki would be stunning too btw you KNOW she had fun with the excuse to dress up and bully her bestie at the same time #bonus: sigyn flirting with her and wolf whistling when she sees her in the dress .#loki blushing and giggling like. gay. <3.#thor's there for it too and hates every second of it #the mechanisms #the bifrost incident

Something about the Fenrir myth... Self fulfilling prophecy... People who you love being so scared of you, of your independence, that they tie you down over and over... Until your love for them turns into burning, seething hatred which could've been avoided if they'd just let you exist and find your strength ...

Growing up, having your parents sabotage your chances of existing without them, and growing stronger despite their efforts to tear you down, and growing to hate them when all you wanted was their approval ... God
