The path is both one and many, as the trunk of a tree spreads out into numerous branches that stretch in all directions, so that one may follow the lore into countless byways and alleys ripe with mysteries.

Tyr's Day blessings.
Ragnarok threads through all being. Twilight is inevitable and shall without doubt swallow the order of things. Yet to this fated end is woven that path we choose to tread towards it. Of honour, or dishonour; of justice or injustice. There is our decision.

I’ve started listening to traditional radio again.
This is primarily because of the stress and anxiety that news from social media and news portals gives you.
Listening to 15 minutes of morning, afternoon and evening news on Indian national radio (Aakashvaani) keeps me updated and stress-free.

The Old Gods have not returned. They never left. They were simply waiting for those whose blood and bones resonates with their voice heard in the forests and groves, rivers and standing stones, in the moon and stars and the rising and setting sun. Waiting for us to hear and return to them.

When *I* say #BITD, I mean early 1980s. You don't know the pain of trying to get down town on the 207-203 (or walk from 202)-191 to L-G ... 
Thinking out loud on a walk in the chilly and beautiful spring-like weather. Blessings!

2- So, Happy Waiting for Spring (this is what #Latvians call this Cross-quarter, unlike the British #Imbolc, which sees #spring already arriving!) for all of us in still cold places 
for those of you actually seeing spring, Happier still! ( and Welcome/Waiting For Autumn for those on the other side of the world

1 I finally got my #WinterSolstice blog post finished..lol The blog includes some photos, 3 short videos and some blabber (similar but a bit expanded to what is in the video descriptions) with links to Spectra as well, but I will also put all the video links to YT and Spectra in this thread. #pagan #animist #Latvian #Baltic #OldWays #WinterWonderland
I talk about primal Goddesses, paper masks of light and darkness, dragging the Yule Log, etc
Here's the blog link:

@dhedgehog A #RiceCooker that I used for over 40 years died a year or so ago & I just went back to the #OldWays & cook my rice now on the #StoveTop like my mother taught me how to do over 60 years ago.
I use the #KnuckleMethod to measure the water.
I use a 4qt pot. Add 3 cups of long grain rice. Pour water in/out til it just touches my knuckles & put it on the stove top.
Just takes 25 mins on low heat & it's all done. Never burnt. Never over or under cooked. 
Don't need a "stinking" rice cooker. Besides I've got too many #KitchenAppliances already. LOL! 
With the conclusion of the rite of Druid initiation, I stand before my Gods and in the company of the ancestors, affirming by the words of the rite that I shall honour them and continue their stories in my own. May the Gods inspire and guide us all!

I was raised with the Our Father and now honour the Allfather. From Nailed God to Blind God. From dry dogma to the rich lore of my ancestors whose hearts continue to beat with mine. Whose whispers summoned me since my earliest memories. Whose stories wrote the preface to my own.
“It sounds an almost pitiful predicament. And yet, while it certainly isn’t desirable, some cyber-experts are now advising companies to plan for switching to paper-based processes in the event of IT failure.”
With the sunset this evening, sprigs of fresh yew and heather placed on the sacred space for Freya-Frigg for the approaching Freya-Frigg’s Day.

Your existence is the product of a thousand generations of your ancestors who have lived and loved and honoured the Gods. Honour them by truly living this life they bequeathed you. Honour them by walking in their footsteps in the ways of the old lore.
