I've been reading a thesis paper called Freyja's Cats: Perspectives on Recent Viking Age Finds in !egjandadalur North Iceland by Brenda Prehal . This 60 plus page exploration of the cat in Norse culture has so far been one of the best studies I've read in regards to the goddess Freyja and I must encourage everyone to read this if interested in the material and literary record of the goddess. I have decided to do a few posts which basically summarize the main points of interest within this paper. The information derives directly from Prehal's work and all rights of course remain with the author.  Reproduction of cat from the procession cart found in the Oseberg Viking ship (834 AD) The thesis is an exploration of the connection of the cat in Norse art and culture to the practice and belief in female magic and sorcery.

Galaxy Tarot Home Page I'm always looking for handy apps on my androids which are pagan oriented. One that has eluded me for some time has been a usable and functional tarot reading app. I came across Galaxy Tarot last week and decided to give it a try on the free version.

Hey everyone, just stopping by to let you know I am still here! It has been almost a month since I posted, simply because I have been on a vacation of sorts. The house was having some renovations done, our dog had pups, and my love was here visiting from Ireland for a few weeks. It has been a whirlwind and I haven't had time to come online much, let alone sit down and blog. I will be putting up a new post in the next day or so to get things rolling again. I am sure I have much to talk about after the last couple of weeks, but at the mo I am still too exhausted to think of anything at the mo, besides the fact that there is much more to come! I would like to do a new giveaway in the near future, and am still working on the Vanir glyphs book as well as another work in progress about the Vanir and Vanatru in general. I am happy to say that my spell bottle worked swimmingly. Though there were some changes of plans made, everything went smoothly and oh so well! I felt very calm and c...
