After a hiatus, the podcast is back and with me this episode is author Gunivortus Goos to talk about his book The Secrets of the Mist Witches (Witte Wieven). The book presents the underlying customs and folk knowledge, including many folk tales from past centuries, about the fog creatures mainly from the German-Dutch border area. In the book the dialect term "Witte Wieven" in this (or similar spellings) is often used for these supernatural mist women, who often have their dwellings in small hills or waters. They are also known in German as "Nebelhexen."     We talk a little about these mist-erious beings, but leave the mist-ery for you to find in the book (and stories) itself.  You can order the book in German or English from Goos' website, Boudicca's Bard. And while you are there, check out his other books (German, Dutch, and English).    Goos and I talked about his books Goddess Holle and Germanic Magic in episode 41.     Follow on Instagram: @wyrdgifts1 Facebook: @GiftsoftheWyrd Email: giftsofthwyrd@gmail.com Twitter: @WyrdGifts1 John's Facebook author page @JohnHijatt Please leave feedback on Apple and other podcast providers.

Totally lost me when the lady said ”Thor really embrace queerness” in regards to Þrymskviða. Pagan podcasts are like weird erotic fan fictions obsessed with assigning modern concepts of sexuality and gender to the oldest and most divine gods. 🤷‍♂️

Really grasping at straws

A wonderful and informative podcast. Please don&#39;t ever stop.

Bravo!

14 Gifts of the Wyrd: Interview with Diana Paxson

Was a Germanic goddess Eostre or Ostara ever honored in the old days? Are Easter and the German 'Ostern' named after her? Does the widespread Easter lore have roots in ancient pagan rituals? The answers to these questions are disputed among both laymen and scholars. Often it can be hard to distinguish between faith and facts. Therefore, the available sources have been brought together in this book and offered with explanatory notes. However, it is left to the reader to consider whether in Germany a goddess Ostara, Eostar or Ostera was worshiped as was Eostre in England. In this episode, Jan  discusses the book by GardenStone for Ostara.   Eostre Ostara Eostar by GardenStone is available from GardenStone's website and on Amazon.  Ostara Artwork by Connla Freyjason - Iaconography.

Music: Intro to episode 16: Stanza 31: Valkyries Assemble from Voluspa by Tonya Threet.  (no longer available: Update 2021) Outgoing: When the Dead Walk by Hauk from Apple Blossoms and Abandoned Tracks.

5 Gifts of the Wyrd: Interview with Heathen Musician Hauk Heimdallsman

The Transformational Oracle of the Morrighan deck by Bela Siol This episode we are going to take a short visit to our Celtic neighbors to visit with oracle deck creator Bela Siol. Bela created the Nehalennia deck (see episode 22) and, as she is also working on a Freya oracle deck, I thought it would be nice to discuss with her about the deck she is creating for The Morrighan.  The Morrighan is a Goddess of the Celtic Pantheon and has close relations to Freya. I know many Heathens who work with The Morrighan, either regularly or occasionally.  So She is very much connected to many people.  Update (4 Dec2019): Order The Transformational Oracle of the Morrighan from Bela's website: Bela Siol Find Bela and the Oracle on Facebook: @belasioloracledecks and Instagram @bela.siol  Gifts of the Wyrd contact: Follow me on Instagram: @wyrdgifts1  Twitter: @WyrdGifts1  Facebook: @GiftsoftheWyrd Email: GiftsoftheWyrd@gmail.com  Jan's Facebook page @johnhijatt  Please leave feedback on iTunes.

The Transformational Oracle of the Morrighan deck by Bela Siol This episode we are going to take a short visit to our Celtic neighbors to visit with oracle deck creator Bela Siol. Bela created the Nehalennia deck (see episode 22) and, as she is also working on a Freya oracle deck, I thought it would be nice to discuss with her about the deck she is creating for The Morrighan.  The Morrighan is a Goddess of the Celtic Pantheon and has close relations to Freya. I know many Heathens who work with The Morrighan, either regularly or occasionally.  So She is very much connected to many people.  Update (4 Dec2019): Order The Transformational Oracle of the Morrighan from Bela's website: <a href="http://belasiol.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bela Siol</a> Find Bela and the Oracle on Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/belasioloracledecks/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@belasioloracledecks</a> and Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bela.siol/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@bela.siol</a> Gifts of the Wyrd contact: Follow me on Instagram: @wyrdgifts1  Twitter: @WyrdGifts1  Facebook: @GiftsoftheWyrd Email: <a href="mailto:GiftsoftheWyrd@gmail.com">GiftsoftheWyrd@gmail.com</a> Jan's Facebook page @johnhijatt  Please leave feedback on iTunes.

17 Gifts of the Wyrd: Second Anniversary, PantheaCon and Sacred Sites

Jan goes solo in this episode to share the growing world-wide tradition of Väntljusstaken/Sunwait Candle lighting. This is a revitalizing of the advent wreath candles with a Heathen/Pagan purpose to help bring in the Yule time.  The Sunwait candleholder has six candles to be lit the six Thursdays (or fridays/other day of the week, or even the 5 days prior to Yule) leading up to the winter solstice. Any six-armed candleholder will do, and you decorate it as you wish. Many use the first runes of the Futhark to mark the candles and manifest their runic power for the meditation and into the coming season/year. There is a poem to go with the lighting of each candle here in English, but also on the website in Swedish, French, German and Dutch.    Post photos of your candles and your experiences setting the intentions during this on Gifts of the Wyrd Facebook group and @Vantljusstaken Facebook page.  Follow  on Instagram @sunwait_candles and use  #Väntljusstaken #sunwaitcandles.
