Our Native Faiths are dynamic, not static. Focusing on an exact 1:1 reconstruction of historical practice is not only unrealistic, but also should not be the intention of the practitioner. Our Ancestors intended for us to become wiser and more resourceful than they were - in the same way a parent wants that for his or her own children. It's not only the story of our Ancestors, but also the story of yourself and of those who descend from you. Each generation adds their own layer of Wisdom and understanding onto it, learned in his or her own contemporary generation. In the end, it is a multi-generational journey to attempt to come closer to the Gods and to expand our understanding of them, as well of that of Nature itself. Honour your Ancestors' traditions, but don't be afraid to add new traditions - as long as you stay true to the core essence of our Faith. ᛟ

someone interested in graphic design here!! CMYK is suuuper useful as a colour profile, it stands for Ceratosuchops Microraptor Yi Kentrosaurus.

I don’t want ownership stake in ai, I want to divest from ai completely

"Crocodiles haven't changed much" my ass.

No single religious form is destined for all mankind. Different peoples embody transcendent principles through distinct Traditions, and the task is not to create a universal religion but to remain faithful to, and spiritually realize, one's own authentic Tradition.

a lot of people dont care about insect biomass collapse bc when they hear we are losing 2.5% of the insect biomass per year they just imagine the cockroach and housefly population decreasing by that much. they dont realize those are among the only ones that will remain unbothered

"All things that exist are offspring of the gods, are brought into existence without intermediation by them and have their foundation in them. For not only does the continuous procession of entities reach completion, as each of them successively obtains its subsistence from its proximate causes, but it is also from the very gods themselves that all things in a sense are generated, even if they are described as being at the furthest remove from the gods, even if you were to speak of matter itself. For the divine does not stand aloof from anything, but is present for all things alike...But those beings which proceed forth must also return, imitating the manifestation of the gods and their reversion to the cause, so that they too are ordered in accordance with the perfective triad...It is to this reversion that prayer offers an enormous contribution by means of the ineffable symbols of the gods, which the Father of the souls has sowed in them. Prayer attracts the beneficence of the gods towards itself. It unifies those who pray with the gods who are being prayed to." - Proclus, commentary on Timaeus "Hail, day! Hail, sons of day! And night and her daughter now! Look on us here with loving eyes, That waiting we victory win. Hail to the gods! Ye goddesses, hail, And all the generous earth! Give to us wisdom and goodly speech, And healing hands, life-long." - Sigdrifa's prayer, from the Poetic Edda "Surely anyone with any sense at all will always call upon a god before setting out on any venture, whatever its importance. In our case, we are about to make speeches about the universe—whether it has an origin or even if it does not—and so if we’re not to go completely astray we have no choice but to call upon the gods and goddesses, and pray that they above all will approve of all we have to say, and that in consequence we will, too." - Plato, Timaeus Mankind fulfills a cosmic role. You are Nature. The Gods care for your pleas and worship exactly as parents care for children, with an eye not necessarily to enjoyment but to education.

As an aside it's just occurred to me that the phrase "pussy-ass bitch" consists entirely of archaic animal names and would be a great name for like a trio of characters in an adult comedy cartoon who are literally a cat, a donkey, and a dog

We need the paleontological equivalent of Interstellar or Project Hail Mary cuz the Jurassic franchise will never give us that. We need a movie adaptation of Raptor Red.

I think this is why John Conway is one of my all-time favourite paleoartists. He's so good at creating paleoart that is really interesting, evocative art.

birds for some reason

I want to clarify that I'm not expecting Ewan McGregor and Anne Hathaway to be like "holy crap, that's an Elaphrosaurus, a late Jurassic ceratosaur from Tanzania 🤓", but I do want the director to know what it's meant to be.

I did not myself always understand this, so I don't want to be unfair about it, but I think trans women & fems should be the first to come to mind when "trans lesbians" are brought up tbh
