A bit of threshold magic
We've nearly finished laying the floor in our new apartment and wanted to properly mark this space as ours (this isn't the only way, but part of a range of measures to take).
Putting in a wooden threshold to carve into is preferred, but wasn't an option here.
This was our solution. Partially in keeping with the ancient tradition of burying a sacrifice underneath the floor, combined with a t…

Yesterday we celebrated the start of the Easter month: we visited several historical sites including a ruined castle, watermills and the pictured sacred well. The chapel next to it is possibly one of the oldest in the country. We practiced the heilawac, which is the drawing of water in absolute silence, and decorated the well as they still do in other parts of Europe. Summer is here!

Saint Knut, patron of Saint Knut’s Guild Netherlands
For the Knut’s Guild, today is the naming day of his patron Saint Knut. In Sweden they say “tjugondag jul”, the feast on the twentieth day after christmas. But the actual Knut’s day is on January 7. It was moved to the 13th in 1680, the background of which is complex and for now irrelevant.
Saint Knut was killed on January 7, 1131,…

During the Twelve Nights, there are certain taboos and certain things we should do more of. The following are the most important ones.
- Keep it tidy inside and outside the home. The Norns might visit indoors and the Wild Hunt rages outside. We are in a critical period now…

The Silvatici were the last Anglo-Saxon freedom fighters who refused to submit to Norman rule after 1066. The name comes from the Latin silvaticus, meaning “of the woods” - the Normans’ way of describing the English who retreated into forests and wild country to continue the fight.
After the Battle of Hastings, William the Conqueror seized the throne, but many Englishmen would not yield. They took to the forests, hi…

Spent the weekend helping a friend along with his timberframe workshop. This is how traditions are kept alive, by partaking, not merely observing. I hope you folks also have some tradition or craft you can practice or partake in. And if not, let this be your sign to finally get started!⚡

Where the land meets the sea and the tide eternally keeps the time, we welcomed in the harvest and the bounty of our Lady Nehalennia. Last saturday together with Traditie, the largest Flemish Heathen organization, we honoured Nehalennia, hailed her in from the shore and carried her in procession to her reconstructed temple here in Old Zeeland. It was a really great day overall, with workshops and plentiful meals as w…

A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999.
