This is for Veles (Ruler of the Realm of the Dead)...inspired by ᚲ︍ᚱᛁᛗᛊᛟᚾ ᛚᛁᛚᛁ´s post. I don´t know much about Slavic gods and goddesses but they are similar to the Germanic gods and goddesses. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/4uUtOaVYVZ4?si=LrVMGJG2XrESDG49

Not many can walk the path we walk……. Stay strong, and trust your guides, Gods and Goddesses, and instincts.

I hjärtat av de nordiska länderna, där de snöklädda fjällen möter de vidsträckta skogarna och de djupa sjöarna, finner vi en rikedom av kulturell och jordnära arv. Det är här, bland de dramatiska landskapen och de uråldriga traditionerna, som Nordiska Asa-samfundet tar sin plats som en bevarare och stöttepelare för vår tro, vårt arv, vårt ursprung och våra traditioner. Asatro, eller tillbedjan av de nordiska gudarna och gudinnorna, är en tro som har rotat sig djupt i den nordiska kulturen och historien. Den sträcker sig tillbaka till forntiden då våra förfäder, med sitt djupa band till naturen och kosmos, fann förankring i en tro på krafter som Oden, Tor, Freja och alla de andra makterna. Denna tro har överlevt århundraden av förändringar och utmaningar och lever idag vidare genom Nordiska Asa-samfundet.

In the heart of the Nordic countries, where the snow-covered mountains meet the vast forests and deep lakes, we find a wealth of cultural and earthly heritage. It is here, among the dramatic landscapes and ancient traditions, that the Nordic Asa-Community takes its place as a guardian and pillar of our trú, our heritage, our origins, and our traditions. Asatru, or the worship of the Norse gods and goddesses, is a belief deeply rooted in Nordic culture and history. It dates back to ancient times when our ancestors, with their deep connection to nature and the cosmos, found anchorage in a faith in powers such as Odin, Thor, Freyja, and all the other mighty beings. This belief has survived centuries of changes and challenges and lives on today through the Nordic Asa-Community.

Symbol of the month: Mother Goddesses The Winter Goddesses of both the Slavic and Celtic traditions symbolize the life cycles of nature: the death of the old year, the rest and stillness of the Earth, and the rebirth that is assured with the return of spring. These deities are not merely figures of destruction or decay but of necessary transformation. They maintain the cosmic balance by ensuring that the cycles of life, death, and rebirth continue, holding magical power to both preserve and purify. Whether through the fierce, chilling winds or the protective nurturing, these deities remind us of the constant cycles of life in which destruction leads to creation.

Hel's Seal: What Is It? A Rune Stave of the Goddess Hel Hel's Seal is a powerful symbol made up of two runes: Perth, crossed by Isa. It functions as a magical stave with the ability to close any channel or bond between things. The symbol is named after Hel, the goddess of Helheimr, the realm of the dead. Her word is final—when she says "no," it means a permanent "no." There's no room for argument, and this "no" applies to any bond, permanently severing it. Ksenia Menshikova

Hel came to me in a dream about a month ago. She claimed me as hers forever now. Tonight I went into my woods and left an offering and accepted her as my Goddess. I don’t know what’s coming down the spiritual pipeline but here I am! #hel #norsepaganism #norseheathen #goddess

When establishing contact with the goddess Freyja, it's important to remember her connection to the natural world. As a goddess of fertility and nature, you will have a deeper connection with her if you step outside human-made environments, away from the city. Freyja's realm includes forests, fields, rivers, streams, and bodies of water that remain untouched by human influence. Much like Artemis, she prefers not to dwell in places where humans reside.
