Oooh!
I don't know why it's just dawned on me that, with the God of War adaption being focused on the Norse sequels, we'll surely be getting some live-action Valkyries. My favourite Valkyries. These badass Valkyries. I need them. #heathensky #pagansky #witchsky
I had a wonderful weekend in Edinburgh - Saturday was the fantastic Scottish Pagan Federation's Lifting the Veil 2025 Conference.
I spoke about Valkyries, of course, which seemed to be well-received.

Book shelf tour, part 3 is a gooooo! Getting into some really cool stuff now. #heathensky #medieval #pagansky #witchsky #history #booksky
βWe want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. β notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...
This is another common piece of Valkyrie related misinformation, we can blame 19th century scholarship here. #heathensky #witchsky #pagansky #norse #valkyrie #heathenry #medieval
So much crossover, helps that (putting aside that Skuld is listed among the Valkyries) that Norn/norn was a term that seemingly carried heavy semantic weight when it came to fate.
Iβm also continuing on my common Valkyrie misconceptions, because there are so, so many. #heathensky #pagansky #witchsky #valkyrie #vikingage #medieval
Ooooh, now that is interesting! Thank you!
Apparently I filmed this in a wind tunnel π
Part 2 of the book shelf tour - disclaimer that may be relevant for any of these videos, just because something is on my shelf doesnβt automatically mean I recommend it (for a variety of reasons). #booksky #medievalsky #heathensky #pagansky #history
I may have started a Book Shelf Tour series on my TikTok that I now feel obligated to carry over here. Enjoy! #booksky #medievalsky #heathensky #pagansky
Having all the fun with sculpting and casting at the moment. Why did it take me so long to get to doing this? Anyway, hereβs my army of Thors. π #heathensky #pagansky #witchsky
Boosting this for anyone else that sees the post. It's very obviously AI, and it's awful to claim to be an artist while using AI to create your work.
Managed to squeeze in a few more hours on Hel this morning before the Pagan Federation's first AGM as a charity (and maybe I did a little bit in the first 20 mins as well....) Cough. I'm also prepping Odin for his first silicone moulding bath, which is a bit stressful. Arghhhh. #heathensky #pagansky
Hel sculpture in the works. Already having a ton of fun with putting her together. Get into a meditative, contemplative mindset. Second ever sculpt, and learning a lot! #heathensky #pagansky #witchsky #artsky #sculpture
Art is becoming a key part of my devotional work - here are few in progress or finished pieces I've done over the last several weeks. #heathensky #pagansky #witchsky #artsky #art
This time around, I'm talking everything death in the Nordic sphere. My specialty!
Sorry for the radio silence, it's been a busy few months. But in awesome news, I was awarded Author of the Year by #PagansoftheNorth magazine - thank you to everyone who voted!!!

I've never encountered a Pagan space that's mostly newagers / Christians to be honest.
A small break in the Heathenry - Tusk Love arrived a day early. I managed to grab the signed alt cover. Let's get stuck in π #criticalrole #tusklove #booksky
You inspire me, Math. So that's one heck of a compliment coming from you.
I'm struggling with directing my anger at *everything* recently, tired of the hate and fear. I'm also feeling the Valkyries particularly potently at the moment. They seem active, reactive, present, there, around. And I know I'm not alone in that. I wrote this yesterday.

Talk about a non-story. The Pagan Federation supports trans-Pagans. Woman makes antri-trans comments & is removed. She goes to national newspaper, and we get this shoddy journalism. No, not all Pagans believe in divine genders."Arthur Pendragon" does not speak for us.

This was very fun to be a part of - and timely for Pride Month.
There's so much freedom within Paganism and Heathenry to be yourself, all of yourself, and to be supported by a community that believes the same. Don't accept anything less.

It didn't go agains the SC ruling. I'm asking you specifically, what part of the post went against the SC ruling. You can't say, because it didn't. Acknowledging the existence of trans people doesn't go against the SC ruling.
As a feminist, I know you can be pro-woman without being anti-trans. This was anti-trans.
Also please tell me what part of the post that the Pagan Federation put out was against the SC ruling?
