“Man must be made conscious of his origin as a child of Nature. Brought into right relationship with the wilderness he would see that he was not a separate entity endowed with a divine right to subdue his fellow creatures and destroy the common heritage, but rather an integral part of a harmonious whole.”

John Muir

From an old Russian folktale “Kolobok”

Idunna

In Nordic Polytheism Iðunn is a goddess associated with apples and youth. Iðunn is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson. In both sources, she is described as the wife of the skaldic god Bragi, and in the Prose Edda, also as a keeper of apples and granter of eternal youthfulness. The Prose Edda relates that Loki was once forced by the jötunn Þjazi to lure Iðunn out of Asgard and into a wood, promising her interesting apples. Þjazi, in the form of an eagle, snatches Iðunn from the wood and takes her to his home. Iðunn's absence causes the gods to grow old and grey, and they realize that Loki is responsible for her disappearance. Loki promises to return her and, in the form of a falcon, finds her alone at Þjazi's home. He turns her into a nut and takes her back to Asgard. After Þjazi finds that Iðunn is gone, he turns into an eagle and furiously chases after Loki. The gods build a pyre in Asgard and, after a sudden stop by Loki, Þjazi's feathers catch fire, he falls, and the gods kill him.

Idunn and Bragi

Archeology, old writings and contemporary heathen practicioners can teach us a lot about the spiritual practices our heathen ancestors did. In episode 4 of Heathen Reflections the Tribe of the Fox speaks about the Seeress of Fyrkat in Denmark and also about medieval christian writings about heathen practices. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7pXfnpOTDo

There is a document from the year 750 prohibiting pagan abuses. The church wanted to banish all practices and beliefs. What did the witches and seers of the time of our ancestors do?

One ban is about 'what they do over certain stones...'. What our ancestors did is unclear, but it involved fertility rituals. Want to know more about what they did? Watch our video above to find out!

Iduna, Iðunn

This apple is not forbidden,
if magic needs a spark,
because you are there,
when the blossom blooms.
You are there
when there is renewal,
for the young
and for the old.
Vital life, vital force,
golden eternity.

Lieve groet, Dirkje

Onement VI is a painting which sold for a price of $43.84 million.

I bet you're thinking who in the world would pay 43m for this painting that you can DIY for 30$.

Allow me to explain how this goes.

*Millionaire makes $43m in 2022

*He hires an artist to make "art" for $25k

*Artist puts one streak on canvas.

*Millionaire thanks artist, and has art appraised by an appraiser who is in his same circle of friends.

*Appraiser values artwork at $43m

*Millionaire donates $43m artwork to museum to get $43m tax written off

*Millionaire pays no taxes in 2022.

*Me at museum: This is literally stupid, it's just a line on a canvas.

*Person next to me: No, you just don't understand it because you're uncultured.. 🤡 🌎

“What an irony it is that these living beings whose shade we sit in, whose fruit we eat, whose limbs we climb, whose roots we water, to whom most of us rarely give a second thought, are so poorly understood. We need to come, as soon as possible, to a profound understanding and appreciation for trees and forests and the vital role they play, for they are among our best allies in the uncertain future that is unfolding.”

Speaking of habbenings, this is tonight:

‘Blood Moon’ to put on show during total lunar eclipse on Sunday

Night sky watchers tonight will be treated to a glimpse of a relatively rare lunar phenomenon when a total eclipse of the moon tinges the Earth’s only satellite a haunting shade of red.

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth’s shadow; the Earth, Moon and Sun must be perfectly aligned for such a spectacle to occur.
