It's time to start using those resources you've been stockpiling. With the return of the sun, the year has shifted into its growth phase, but it's all happening beneath the surface, so make sure to ration accordingly. #dagaz #ingwaz #raidho #heathensky #norsesky #pagansky #heathenry #norsepaganism
Love this!
This week's #rune pull is a bit of a "no shit": #Mannaz, #Eihwaz, #Ehwaz. Spend this week getting ready for the coming Solstice/Yule. I'm particularly tickled that it's represented by the "horse" rune, giving me strong Wild Hunt vibes. #heathensky #norsesky #pagansky #heathenry #norsepaganism
We're finishing up our Last Thursday in November Feast shopping. It'll be low-key this year. The #goði is cooking all kinds of tasty indigenous dishes. I, the lowly #seiðkona, will be working so I can be lazy all day Friday.
This week's rune pull is pretty straightforward: give to those who are in need, as others gave to you. Whether something or someone specific, or to toss some energy into the ether so it can go where it's needed #heathensky #norsesky #pagansky #heathenry #norsepaganism #runes #ehwaz #gebo #nauthiz
Another great look at #neurodivergency in #heathenry. This time, guest #DanCoultas divers into literary examples of #neurodivergent characters. Definitely worth a listen! #heathensky #norsesky #pagansky #norsepaganism
Take the time to become #mannaz, before undertaking any major work. Then, as guided by #eihwaz, comingle all parts of the realms within yourself. Take extra care to shield with the power of #elhaz particularly during the new moon. #norsesky #heathensky #runes #weeklyreading
this week's #runes: #ingwaz, #eihwaz, #hagalaz.
Time to get all your prep done. Whether it's literal shields and warding, or finally straightening your energies out, best to do it before you need it--it'll be too late then. #heathensky #norsesky #pagansky #heathenry #norsepaganism #divination
November’s early darkness enfolds us. The smell of applewood fires and rot is a constant companion at twilight. We hurry between home and evensong, home and pub. Ghosts crowd the lanes, our folklore becomes filled with tales of cold teeth. Winter begins to growl. - #CLNolan
This year's focus will be connecting with the #ancestors more. I've come to realize there are gaps in my connection with some, and others it's time to let go. #heathensky #norsesky #pagansky #heathenry #norsepaganism #ancestorveneration
#Ancestor veneration last night. No picture of the altar this time, since there are pictures of individuals included. The #rune pull was: #nauthiz, #hagalaz, and #berkano.
We recently went to a #DiadelosMuertos festival held by the local Latino community. It was wonderful seeing everyone come together to celebrate their #ancestors and #beloveddead together. Pics are of the front and back of the public #ofrenda.
We're in the midst of #WinterNights! Last night we held a bløt for #Hel, celebrating her reign over the realm of the #dead. The runes yielded #raidho, #uruz & #ehwaz, indicated she was pleased, and the ways between the #NineWorlds was opened. #heathensky #norsesky #pagansky #heathenry #norsepaganism
Great podcast episode on #neurodivergency in #heathen spaces, from #thewyrdthing. #heathensky #norsesky #pagansky #heathenry #norsepaganism #inclusivity #inclusiveness #neuodivergent
New Moon energy has us pretty deflated today. We're taking it easy, planning on some comfort food and light entertainment. #heathensky #norsesky #pagansky #heathenry #norsepaganism #newmoon #moonphases
This week's rune pull: a battle to enact Justice throughout all the Nine Realms. In the end a new world will emerge. Our strength and focus is being fed by the Well of Wisdom at the base of Yggðrasil. #heathensky #norsesky #pagansky #heathenry #norsepaganism #runes #tiwaz #eihwaz #pertho #mimirswell

It's been a hard year for us, but we're determined to come back strong, starting with a Freyrsblot this Autumn Equinox. The runes show Snoheim moving from a period of labor in the sun to one of deep study & spiritual work. #heathensky #norsesky #pagansky #heathenry #norsepaganism #freyr #equinox
Our house spirit and his little corner, pictured here with his permission. Offerings of soup, salad, biscuit and mead.
Today we finished up our spring cleaning. We gave an extra special offering to our house spirit in thanks for them patiently putting up with us. Afterwards we ritually cleaned the house, then circumnavigated the outside and the property line. #heathensky #norsesky #pagansky #heathenry #norsepaganism

Lots to update. Friday, we observed the #Disþing. We said goodbye to #Skaði and thanked her for a kind winter. We greeted #Sif as she awoke in response to the coming spring. #heathensky #norsesky #pagansky #heathenry #norsepaganism #skadi #disthing
Joining us today are Christine Cormier and Scott Kelley Ernest, two Heathens who were part of the Folkish movement and have become outspoken critics of white nationalist spirituality. They share the one thing they think everyone should know about far-right religious sects and more!

Hail to Thor in his month! Lord of Storms, Protector and Friend to Mortal Men, shield and guide our strength in this uncertain time. Let loose the nourishing rains for the coming crops #heathensky #norsesky #pagansky #heathenry #norsepaganism #norseanimism #thor #þorr #þor
It's Wednesday, which means it's Snoheim's weekly house hang. This week we'll be destressing with some meditation and some spiritual planning. #witchsky #heathensky #pagansky #norsesky
