Resistance Protection sigil
Inspired by The Raven’s Wing Magical Co-op's sigil to protect the people protesting ICE, here is an updated redesign. Adding a call for action and unity, as well as broadening its intent. And sneaking in a triple moon and a pentagram.
With thanks to @DavidBridger for calling attention to it, and Laura Tempest Zakroff for this blog post on its creation and continued importance. patheos.com/blogs/tempest/2025…

Hail Freya, it's Friday! Today's #FridayPaganPoll:
I've always said that we Pagans are an academic bunch. Our community has a love of history and renewing old traditions, which I think includes the revival of dead languages, let's see:

Last week I posted about my top 5 Tarot decks for 2025. This week I am looking at my top 5 oracle card decks for 2025. In 2025, I often kept a deck for more than a month in the rotation. I just wan…Alchemical Thoughts

My Top 5 Tarot Decks of 2025
This year four out of my top five were new to me. I bought them sometime in 2025. The 5th deck was one I already have, and I used it for various spreads in 2025. So here is my list for 2025. If I h…Alchemical Thoughts
Did you know, that one of Ireland's chief saints is "Brigit", and her actual historicity is in serious doubt? It is increasingly assumed that she in fact derives from the Goddess Brighid, and that the Saint may have never existed.
Well, ICYMI, today I published an article asserting that another of our Saints, Íta, likewise was a full euhemerisation of another famous #Irish goddess: The #Mórrígan. A revealing one.

Thinking back to when stone circles were made, that mark the sunrise on the shortest day. People had no calendars to tell them the date. Today people go on the morning of the shortest day, and gather to watch the sun rise (although here in the UK it is often so cloudy you can’t tell whether the sun is up or not!).
I imagine, that in the past, someone would be there every morning, watching. The days would grow shorter, maybe a single person at first would go to watch, eager for the sun to turn. Then as it got close, more people would take up the vigil, until the turning of the year was marked.
How accurate are the stones anyway? Would the sun hit the right spot for several days in a row?

How does a pagan celebration of the season fit in with that?

O Holy Dionysus
Of the ivy and the vine
I ask for your presence
I ask for your blessings
Lord of ecstatic revelation
Lord of the altered mind
Show me the world as it truly is
Allow me to see the truth
For in your presence I will dance
Wild and abandoning reason
And for the world I ask a boon
Show them the hurt they cause
Let them feel it too
For in feeling lies compassion
Show them too the lies they tell
To others and to themselves
That they may learn to live truthfully
And allow others to do the same
Lord of the vine and the ivy
Stand with us today
Walk, perhaps crookedly, along this path with us
Lord of introspection
Grant us your gifts
Walk with us as we navigate life, O holy Dionysus

I am a solitary #pagan at this stage of my life. Tend closer to #SlavicPaganism in some eclectic and below-radar way.
I observe some special days like recent Winter Solstice and other steps of Circle of the Year, for example.
I do various "not science-proven" things sometimes, some call them rituals. Or even #witchcraft but I guess all that "too fancy names" for small things I do.
I just hope one day times will come when people of all faiths will live in peace.
Who celebrate, Merry Christmas!
