Happy Freyja-day! Skål! I surprised Herself today (after we were done shipping our own Norse magick) with new Mead horns from @norsetradesman and some honey juice, mead from Millier Ste Patrice in Quebec. They looked lovely in front of our Norse collection so I couldn't resist sharing....

A new theory about the iconic Venus figurines (scale replicas available in our Etsy shop - link in bio) has suggested that the sculptures represent how climate change affected humans over 30,000 years ago. The Venus figurines are statuettes depicting obese women that, up until now, were thought to have been associated with fertility and beauty. A recent study published in "Obesity" has suggested instead that the figurines are totems of survival in extreme conditions. Unlike t...he challenges of global warming people face today, humans 38,000 to 14,000 years ago struggled with colder temperatures due to advancing glaciers. This made it harder for people to meet their nutritional needs, and population sizes began to dwindle, according to the study. Fat is a form of stored energy, said study author Dr. Richard Johnson, Tomas Berl professor of medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, and that fat can be lifesaving when food is not available, especially to pregnant women. "Our studies suggest these figurines did not represent sexual totems, or a representation of male desire, but rather as a means for providing strength to motherhood even in the most adverse situations," Johnson said.

The Oak King and the Holly King. At the Winter Solstice and Yule, the Oak King conquers the Holly King, and then reigns until Midsummer, or Litha. When Summer Solstice arrives, the Holly King returns to do battle with the old king, and defeats him. ... In some belief systems, the dates of these events are shifted; the battle takes place at the Equinoxes, so that the Oak King is at his strongest during Midsummer, or Litha, and the Holly King is dominant during Yule. Why do we deck the halls with boughs of Holly? This day is the Holly King’s day the Dark Lord reigns. He is the god of transformation and one who brings us to birth new ways. Many observe both of these as the Horned One or Horned God or Cernunnos. We tend to the latter at @MyRitualMagic Merry Yule and Blessed Be. #solstice #yule #celticmythology #ritual #myritual #greenman #hornedgod #cernunnos #pagan #witchy #sabbats #celebration #holly #oak

Blessed be. May the turning of the wheel through all days bring you love, peace and magic. #divinefemininerising #spiralgoddess

We are filled with gratitude and inspiration this week as we finish and say goodbye to more than 50 unique pieces including Freyja, Freyr, Odin, Cernunnos, Cerridwen, Hecate, Airmid, the new Amethyst Goddess tower, a couple Irminsuls, Odin's Vegvisirs, Freyja's shields, the mother Gaia holding a triskelion (custom order), the Tree of Life and several more - going to new homes acres the USA, Europe, Asia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. We also found out that many of our previ...ous shipments had arrived, gifts made it on time, and we were gifted with some thoughtful and heartfelt reviews and feedback on the work we do, our unique approach, and even a few of our latest designs. We are incredibly busy but we are more than happy to fit your special requests in!! - - - - - - #cerridwen #cernunnos #airmid #freyja #freyr #odin #hecate $norsemythology #irishfolklore #irishmagic #irishgoddess #celticgoddess #celticpagan #norsepagan #heathen #pagansofinstagram #celticgoddess #goddessart #magicalart #highpriestess #paganart #paganartist #divinefeminine #spiritualart #spiritualartist #witchart #mysticalart #celticculture #celticart #mythologyart #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram

We are feeling so grateful and truly humbled by the amazing response we have had in just a few short months of making magical things for magical people. It truly feels like our work is a connective conduit that brings our tribe together at a time when we cannot travel to see each other and at a time when a deep spiritual connection to the mother and each other is truly needed. Together we are stronger.

Andy Scott's response to Scotland's national call for a tribute to the witches persecuted nearly 400 years ago is another excellent example of an artisan of the magical arts working on a milestone for our global community.
