Red Flags of Hate in the Spiritual Community
Read more →Hey Witches, Pagans, and Heathens, the recent events in the states are emboldening and encouraging the worst kinds of people right now. We all know we have a nazi problem, and this is clearly only going to get worse. Make sure you make clear to your circles, to your friends and family, that those cretins don't represent the spiritual community we're part of. Especially you, Norse Heathens. It's not fair, but it is unfortunately a fact that there is an existing problem with white supremacists appropriating Nordic deities, runes, and more. There's even a neo-nazi group in Hamilton that uses...

How I first became aware of Thor
Read more →by Jessica Pape-Green [This post was originally posted to WordPress and may have formatting errors as a result to being moved here.] So it's THORSday again, and it's day 2 of the Thor's 30 Days of Deity Devotion: "How did you first become aware of this deity? If we're talking about when did I first hear of him, it's impossible to know. He's just so ubiquitous to western culture. He's so popular. I think I knew of him before I knew of any other of his pantheon, before I ever knew who the Norse were. And for good reason: he's...

Who else is Frigg?
Read more →by Jessica Pape-Green [This post was originally posted to WordPress and may have formatting errors as a result to being moved here.] Hello, best witches. It was Friday yesterday, so it was time to write about Frigg, the goddess I currently devote to. But I'm sick AF, so the post went up today instead. If you're new here, hello, I'm Jess and I'm a Friggswoman as well as a witch and the main writer for this blog, which belongs to my wife (Kendra) and I. I've begun scheduling writing to devotional days (Thursday for Thor & Friday for Frigg), partly...

A basic introduction to Thor
Read more →by Jessica Pape-Green [This post was originally posted to WordPress and may have formatting errors as a result to being moved here.] Haha, guess who has got the flu so bad that she forgot what day it is? HahahaFUCK Anyway, here is the first in my THORSday series of posts, a basic introduction to Thor. (I just wrote "Frigg" and had to re-type it. Witches, I am sick.) "But, Jess!" I imagine you saying, "Didn't you just promise to make less of these posts?" Nah, I promised to make more variety of posts. I've still got promises to deities to...

Making promises and compromises to Thor
Read more →by Jessica Pape-Green [This post was originally posted to WordPress and may have formatting errors as a result to being moved here.] We're taking a break from the whole 30 Days thing for a story time post - just to break the monotony a bit. This one is about negotiating terms with Thor in order to get through a thunderstorm. I did make a version of this post on my personal Tumblr, so apologies to those of you who are getting it twice. Here's the set up: My beautiful wife and I have just finished setting up for our second...

Frigg's Names
For day 7 of the 30 Days of Deity Devotion, we're covering all the names, epithets, etc. regarding Frigg. This took a really long time to do for such a short post, not just because I've been immensely busy but because these were really hard to dig up. I tried my best, but apparently Odin took all the names so almost none were left for his wife 😜 For real, though, there's not a lot there, and I've dug as deep as I could.Read more →
