From the Villa Romana del Casale, Sicily, some rather alarmingly sized chariot-racing ducks. They bred them big back then - had special calipers for it and everything!

This roe deer goat has two kids this year. She's an excellent mother maneuvering human dire straits like a master.

But the pope is practicing liberation theology these days, I objected. And the protestants say there is no hell.
Be careful what you say, he whispered. Here even the rocks have ears. Who knows whom they'll tell.

So much of nordic #mythology and art is directly onservable in nature. This must be Niðhöggr. The dragon gnawing on the roots of Yggdrasill.
Dragons are oligarchs who hoard gold and riches only to find out they are never satisfied.

Like the moon, the mushroom doesn't need the sun, but reflects her light, shining in the world of darkness.
His real being, his web of urðr, is hidden in Helheimr.
He crosses the threshold from the unseen to the seen, performing the alchemy of soil

It's Krampusnacht! Tonight is when Krampus was believed to visit children, leaving treats for good children, or kidnapping bad ones in his sack or beating them with a bundle of twigs. For some, St Nicholas left the treats, leaving Krampus to punish naughty children. www.icysedgwick.com/krampus/
Who Is Krampus And How Is He Linked To Christmas?
Krampus, sometimes seen as the Anti Santa, emerged into the mainstream in 2015 with his own movie. But who is he...and how is he linked with Christmas?

*This hasn't happened (yet). I just think it would be great if Frøydis did in fact exist. Someone more extrovert than me, that could create a new tradition to honour the sacredness of our local river.

We just stood there looking at each other. Wondering what will happen to our shared world.

Fenrir, the Greed Wolf, bound by the gods, howling in his captivity. Yanking his chain.
He can hear his pack, his brothers, gathering in the Valley. He wants to join the pillage. He wants to kill the Spirit and eat the light.

Deep Dive on Bears
Bears have fascinated humans for a very long time (see the 36K yo cave painting below). In many ways, they seem like they are nearly human. So nearly, that some indigenous cultures refer to them as “uncle,” “brother,” or “grandmother.”

My home is in the boreal forest that stretches across the northern world.
I am sure the trees here know about their burning kin in Canada, and are aware of the precarious situation in Siberia.
Their roots may not touch, but the mist brings news among them
