I would LOVE you to talk about how you ended up talking yourself around to Arianrhod actually being associated with the moon in some way. I see her more as associated with the stars than the moon but obviously those are linked by virtue of both being things you see in the night sky.
This is really fascinating and entertaining. For me personally audio quality makes it breaks podcasts and I was able to listen without having to force myself. Thanks for bringing it guys!
i think when studying deities you need to separate place of residence (moon for example) and role of deity. for example we have many spirits living on the moon (called land of women) but their role differs greatly (especially with female and male deities, is it Moon mother or Moon father, well both). also most of the uralic place names are actually names of spirit homes or ancestral sanctuaries (moon being just one of thousands, albeit important one). many of the main totems or human like deities literally led their people to the current home lands (often in animal form). so in that regard it´s very much connected to the land, it does not really transfer to other lands (you´d need to follow those ancestors who led you there, to america for example). as for changing the deities i would argue that they were generational to begin with (here they simply added son or daughter to the name of the original deity when they took the idols to the sanctuary, so just as the human generations continued so did the spirit generations, part of that process i still don´t understand). it´s very complicated because they even had two first names in some places (secret and spoken, one being the protection spirit´s name), the secret name was only used at birth home (possibly the family / birth spirit) and also some of the names were hereditory (grandfather´s name changed to father´s name when son married). however i would say that all you needed was something from the land (stone, branch, idol) and then you´d already have the land with you (because spirits could travel in these objects or be called to them, but even still they´d actually be thought to be living in their proper location).
Hey, Mhara! I have to ask, what are your pronouns? I’m only asking, because I wanna plug your UA-cam on my TikTok page. I wanna make sure I’m being completely respectful when I tell people about you. I mostly talk about and cover Norse Mythos/Paganism, but I know I have a following full of fellow curiosity ****SLUTS**** like myself. So I know they’re chompin at the bit to find educational content about all of the organically European Pagan traditions.
I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation! I shared it to one of my FB groups
Thanks for the video 👌🏴🏴
This was so awesome to listen to! Thanks-from Michigan
I'm so glad I caught this episode! Hope the two of you team up more often!
Thank you so much. I've been confused about the land ditties where I live. This conversation gave me ideas about connecting in a way that feels right.

i think when studying
deities you need to separate
place of residence (moon for
example) and role of deity.
for example we have many
spirits living on the moon
(called land of women) but their
role differs greatly (especially
with female and male deities,
is it Moon mother or Moon
father, well both).
also most of the uralic place
names are actually names of
spirit homes or ancestral
sanctuaries (moon being just
one of thousands, albeit
important one).
many of the main totems
or human like deities
literally led their people
to the current home lands
(often in animal form).
so in that regard it´s very
much connected to the land,
it does not really transfer
to other lands (you´d need
to follow those ancestors who
led you there, to america for
example).
as for changing the deities
i would argue that they were
generational to begin with
(here they simply added
son or daughter to the name
of the original deity
when they took the idols
to the sanctuary, so just
as the human generations
continued so did the spirit
generations, part of that
process i still don´t
understand).
it´s very complicated
because they even had two
first names in some places
(secret and spoken, one being the
protection spirit´s name),
the secret name was only used
at birth home (possibly the
family / birth spirit) and also
some of the names were hereditory
(grandfather´s name changed
to father´s name when son
married).
however i would say that
all you needed was
something from the land
(stone, branch, idol)
and then you´d already have
the land with you (because
spirits could travel in these
objects or be called to them,
but even still they´d actually
be thought to be living in their
proper location).
Eclectic witch here ❤❤ i live in the Rhondda valleys though 😂
I’d love to read that book mentioned. I have the captions on but I don’t think they’re accurate, did she say Dalewedd was the name of the novel?

Hey! Ah thank you for asking! 😊 my pronouns are either she/her or they/them! Either is fine!
