This week on the blog I'm taking you to the world of Slavic mythology, presenting one of my favourite ancient deities - Veles, the god of forests, animals, and the underworld.
To learn about him, visit https://grammaticus.blog/2023/09/06/veles/

Today is the second day of the Mysteries, the Minoan version of the Eleusinian Mysteries that we celebrate in #AriadnesTribe - This is a time of introspection but also of joy. Let's celebrate the cycles!

Home-baked bread from last night's celebration of the Feast of Grapes (it went very nicely with the wine). Today begins the ten-day celebration of the Mysteries, Ariadne's Tribe's Minoan version of the Eleusinian Mysteries. Good times!

Esto me parece súper curioso y explica el sincretismo hasta el extremo que se da en el panteón egipcio.
No puedes aislar a una deidad individual de las demás porque ese individuo no tiene sentido por sí mismo.
Y ésta es la razón por la que muchas deidades, sobre todo las menos conocidas, no tienen epítetos que las distingan de las demás. Si alguna vez los tuvieron, se perdieron.

#Bales2023FilmChallenge August 22: #folklore on #FolkloreDay
On May 1 an ancient procession goes around #Padstow, #Cornwall. How ancient, no one really knows. Locals may describe it as a pagan fertility rite but even their generational memory draws a blank and no living soul can put an age on it. #AlanLomax's Oss Oss Wee Oss (1953) is probably the best known visual documentation of the #ObbyOss festival ☞ https://write.underworld.fr/settima/oss-oss-wee-oss-1953

#DYK that many modern practices come from ancient (pre-Abrahamic) #paganism?
Tossing a coin in a well comes from offerings of jewelry and coins made to gods thought to reside in lakes, streams and ponds.
The horoscope was not only a night-sky calendar, astrological predictions were used to predict fortune or mishap for millennia.
Tying ribbons or cloth around trees is how we honor missing soldiers or children, but the same gesture was used by ancients to honor and communicate with gods.
Does your spiritual/religious practice bring you joy and improve your life overall?
Bonus Question: Which religion/spiritual practice do you follow? Please comment your answer.

#heidentum und #paganism und #witchcraft waren lange so Bubbles der Vernunft innerhalb der #esoterik . Klar gab und gibt es auch da dezente Spinner und "Bräunlinge" (respektive Vömel und Geezer von Mimimi) aber uns war immer bewusst, dass #runen werfen oder #tarot karten erstmal ein legitimes Werkzeug zur Selbstreflektion sind, wir aber nicht tatsächlich mit... dem Mond reden oder so. Selbst wenn wir sagen, wir würden das tun, ist das nur die persönliche Spirituelle Interpretation. 🧵 4/?
