An interesting bit of folklore is that many gods would take forms that would be more familiar to the people, and help them blend in. Gods that would take the form of monks include Wode and Rubezahl, and notably the Mountain Monk and Mine-Monk. While others may appear as kindly old grannies such as Frau Holda. There are also the myriad of deities appearing as huntsmen or in animal form throughout various aspects of folklore and fairy tales. The idea that deities were somehow frozen into their forms in the tribal era, while aesthetically pleasing is simply inaccurate. Greek gods for instance were depicted either naked (as they personified perfection in bodily form) or in a toga, which was a symbol of their station. While I'm not about to argue that the gods should be depicted in suits and sundresses, I do think it pertinent to acknowledge that the continuation of the lore indicates their forms and disguises changed with the times, in many cases gods did not have specified forms, or physical descriptions.-TLK

These are bunchberries! Also known as creeping dogwood, these grow in Northern USA, Canada, East Asia, and Russia. They are like a ground cover plant.

Bunchberries contain pectin and you can use them when making jam. They also aid in the treatment of high cholesterol, inflammation, diabetes, GERD and heavy metal poisoning. 🤘🏻

Tea made from the bunchberry leaves helps with fever and cough, and even kidney and lung disease. You can also use this tea as an eyewash. (cont')

Faun - Hymn To Pan

Listen now, Great Pan he calls us
From the green wood in his grove
'neath the waxing moon above us
Hear his clear flute sweet and low
Hear his clear flute sweet and low

Follow in the dance he's leading
Circle 'round the fire's glow
Come and drink the wine he pours us

From the tangled vines that grow (4X)

Listen now, Great Pan he calls us
From the green wood in his grove
'neath the waxing moon above us
Hear his clear flute sweet and low
Hear his clear flute sweet and low

Listen now and I shall follow
Listen now and I may follow
(8X)
(will follow)

Out of the mid-wood's twilight
Into the meadow's dawn
Ivory limbed and brown eyed
Flashes the Faun

The reason nothing makes sense right now is because nothing is as it seems and we are actually dealing with the largest organized criminal operation in history coming out of the shadows and into the light.

I believe that part of the reason why a large number of the population doesn’t see anything suspicious and wrong with this whole Covid situation, including the Covid vaccines, is because these people do not view the government, official media, healthcare system, academia, religion, and all other institutions with suspicion. They fully trust that these institutions are on their side, that these institutions are looking out for their well being. Majority of society have not yet opened their eyes to the truth, have not seen all of the evidence, have not learned the hidden history, have not learned about all of the conspiracies that took place, and are currently taking place. They are still thinking and behaving according to their programming, which includes absolute trust in your government and all institutions.

A young mom with a kid that I know sent me this screenshot. Her kid has Medicaid Humana insurance and this is what they emailed her. It’s shocking that something so obvious is so invisible to so many. Obviously if we were in the middle of a real pandemic crisis, people would be dropping dead all over the place, and everyone would be waiting hours if not days in line to get this life saving vaccine. The government wouldn’t need to bride anyone with $20 to get the vaccine

Hermes' cave at the gymnasium of Thera, Greece - Frédéric Daniel Boissonnas Baud-Bovy (1919)

On the east side of mount Ziria, at an altitude of 1750 meters, famous Hermes Cave is located. According to the myth, in that cave the god Hermes, the son of Zeus and Maia, was born. The cave was the sacred center of the region and in the ancient times people were visiting it to honor god Hermes, and to ask him for help. @GreekLeague

Taranis, the Thunderer

The Celtic ‘Thunder-God’ Taranis, is mentioned from nine inscriptions found in Italy, Germany, Hungary, Croatia, France and Belgium.
His title, as first recorded by Marcus Annaeus Lucanus, or more well known as the poet ‘Lucan’ designates Taranis as the ‘Thunderer’ or perhaps ‘Thunder’ in his writing. “…whose altar is no more benign than that of Scythian Diana.”
He is depicted in antiquity by Lucanus as comparable to the Roman deity Jupiter.
Statues and art displaying Taranis almost always includes a held lightning bolt and a spiral, which could indicate the lightning flash, or a solar wheel.

The wheel was believed by the Celts to spin on the cosmic axis, creating sparks that produce lightning.
With written, linguistic, and artistic depictions of Taranis, we can be reasonably certain that he is a quick-tempered and physically strong thunder god who is one of leaders, and possibly one of the chief deities in the Celtic pantheon .

The Bern Scholia, also known as the Commenta Bernensia, are commentary notes in a 10th century manuscript, in which Taranis is described as a “master of war.”
The association of Taranis with Fire is alluded to from Augustus Caesar's words; “the fire of the skies: the Sun, and the fire of the air: lightning and its voice thunder, giving the god his name, Taranis.”
It seems more likely that Taranis was firstly a weather deity, associated with storms and more specifically the thunder and lightning that accompanies them.
His most famous depiction is imprinted on the Gundestrup Caludron alongside other deities of Celtic origin.
In Celtic mythology, the mighty god of storms and thunder travels the world at great speeds using his wheel to produce lightning.

Galdr is a spiritual way of singing, of using your voice. For instance for the High Seat Ritual there was a certain way of chanting according to the sources. This chant got lost in history😕. However i pariticipated in a High Seat Ritual and as long as chanting is in harmony with the singer or the group of singers it works. That's the key! I am not a good singer but if i do shamanic journeying or contacting a deity i use galdr in combination with a staff or a rattle. Just letting myself being guided by my voice. Fast, slow, loud , gently, deep or higher....just tune in with yourself and your deity. Feel what the galdr is doing to your body and mind.This is what brings a different state of mind that makes journeying or contacting a deity possible. Forget about mushrooms if you are new to this....first learn the basics of journeying using galdr and a staff and above all grounding yourself.

This video from Norse Magic and Beliefs is about galdr and singing in the Viking era. Very interesting short video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFKKsChPr1w
