General reminder to the pagans out there:
Making a supreme goddess figure part of your spirituality? Great! Worshiping a mother goddess? Wonderful! If that brings joy and meaning into your life, excellent!
"Once upon a time long ago, people all worshiped a great goddess until THE PATRIARCHY conspired to overthrow her and replace her with a CRUEL PATRIARCHAL GOD" - that's pseudohistory and conspiracism; there's literally no evidence for it whatsoever, and it can and does drag people down the new age to alt right pipeline.

Superstitions!
The following list are some of the superstitions that I’ve heard or learned about over the years, in no particular order: • Throw rice in the air to make it rain • Carry a potato during winter to ward against colds • Smell dill to get rid of hiccups • Lay thorn branches by your doorstep to keep evil away • Place chips of cedarwood in a box with coins do draw money to you • Hang seaweed in the kitchen to ward off evil spirits • Burn allspice to draw money, luck, and healing • Place a piece of cotton in a sugar bowl to draw good luck to your home • Scatter chili flakes around your house to break a curse • Scatter salt/sugar to purify a room • Put a pine branch above your bed to ward off illness • Carry a chunk of dried pineapple to draw luck • Ask an orange a question before you eat it, then count the seeds. Even # = no. Odd # = yes • Toss oats outside your back door to ensure beautiful crops/plants • Place lilacs around the house to rid unwanted spirits • Add salt to bath for purification • Write your sigils on stones and carry them with you • Put sigils on medication bottles to help quicken their efficiency or for added healing benefits • When guests come over, light a white candle by the door; it will take their negative energy and purify the home. • To get rid of guests overstaying their welcome, turn any broom in your house upside down (bristles up) • Toss salt on the front porch every Friday for good luck and prosperity • Carry a blade of grass to increase psychic power • If something or someone is bugging you, write it on toilet paper, wipe, and flush it down the toilet

it's okay if you have to re-read the myths or re-watch videos explaining them regularly because you forget what happens in them.
it's not something to be ashamed of.

hi! in your Deities 101 posts, you talk about "universal offerings". i have done research but cannot find anything on them. what are the universal offerings?
Universal offerings are offerings that can be given to any deity, spirit, etc. While they aren’t the same in all cultures and religions, they usually include the following:
Wine
Clean water
Bread
Incense
Candles/Other Flames
Some universal devotional acts include:
Research
Reading Their Myths
Cleaning
Taking Care of Yourself
Connecting to Nature
Any Hobbies You May Have (You Can Devote Anything to Anyone)
I hope this helps!

Book Review of 'Celtic Cosmology and The Otherworld: Mystic Origins, Sovereignty and Liminality' by Sharon Paice MacLeod
Tumblr media
I found this book to be an excellent addition to my personal reference library. I think the author does an excellent job of displaying the information we do know about how the 'Celts' viewed their origins, liminality and sovereignty in an easily digestible way that could be picked up by someone new to the subject but also presented so much information that those already familiar would almost certainly learn new things as well.
I found that my only true complaint about the book was that the author didn't decide to cover more than three subjects.
