[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled “do not stand at my grave and weep” after the poem by mary elizabeth frye. the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]

June morning along Pine Creek.

What matters is that you keep going, that you stay alive. Slowly, you will start to see the positive effects of trying to do new things, as frightening and awkward as they may seem. Be proud of your small steps towards living your life, not matter the pace they take, no matter what others think. The most important thing is how you are already being so brave for taking this path.

This variant of the Goldentail / Bastard Moray is known as the Banana Eel due to its colouration and markings resembling a ripe banana.

sorry the what? the what moray

scientist: let’s call you the… goldentail

banana eel: [bites scientist]

scientist: Okay motherfucker, new idea:

Every time this post comes around I’m too busy to tell this story so I’m gonna do it now: when I learned to scuba dive, there was a dude in my dive group named Dumbass Dave who was always being relentlessly roasted by his buddies because when they went to the Great Barrier Reef he brought a baggie of hard boiled egg down with him because he wanted to find a moray eel and feed it and pet it

Well he found a moray and attempted to hand feed it, and it snapped up the egg and bit the shit out of his right hand in the process and the dive had to be halted so the blood wouldn’t attract sharks. But was this enough punishment for Dumbass Dave? No it was not, because he had a Plan

Dumbass Dave’s plan turned out to be a chainmail glove. Where he obtained it has been lost to time, but he put it on his right, injured hand and down they went, whereupon Dave found himself another moray and tried to feed it some hardboiled egg

With his left hand

And yes it did bite the shit out of him and they did have to cancel the dive, again

So I guess the moral of that story is maybe eels aren’t bastards, maybe they just meet a lot of people like Dave

I reminded my scuba instructor of this story and he wanted me to amend the post to let everyone know that it was the same eel who bit Dumbass Dave both times

theres something so specifically wrong about you its alluring

This goes without saying, but statements such as “The gods are above our concerns” and “Humans are not worth the attention of the Aesir” are not only untrue, but directly echo Catholicism.

Heathenry has a long and storied history of the gods interacting with people, from kings to commoners, and our belief in this direct connection with deities has never left Heathenry. It’s a part of the animistic quality of it.

So…if you’re a Heathen and were raised Catholic, don’t feel like you need to believe “the gods are above us” because that idea feels familiar.

This applies to Hellenic Polytheism as well. The Hellenic gods have never been known to just sit on Mount Olympus and do nothing but god things.

Anonymous asked: What's the difference between devoting and working with a deity?

scarletarosa:

Working with is when you are more casual. You don’t worship but instead lovingly honour your god/s, give them offerings out of love, and see them as guides and mentors rather than submitting to them.

Devotion can be either deep loyalty or advanced worship, depending on whether or not you’re comfortable with worship. It is when you dedicate yourself to a god and allow them to walk beside you more than any other deity, though you can devote yourself to more than one. This is a way to get closer to a particular god and is one who you can see yourself speaking to often and representing their values.
