[The Heathen Underground @OriginalHU]

The Heathen Underground promotes heathenry in a way that we feel honors pre-Christian northern European beliefs & practices. We share information on heathen history, archaeology, literature, folklore and art, as well as comparative articles from across Europe and beyond.

This is a truth, that the neglected lanes of England with their scattering of thatch-topped homes, are more ghost-soaked than any castle, any ruin. England is more haunted where it lives now than where it used to live. - #CLNolan

The year is on its knees. The white bone horse of midsummer is memory shadow. The clip-clop of grey bone horse of midwinter echoes back along the cobbles as warning, as promise.

Introducing Nehalennia, a goddess revered in the Netherlands in the (pre-)Roman period as protectress of travellers across the North Sea. The remains of a temple 🏛 and over 300 stone altars found on the seabed in the province of Zeeland attest to the popularity of her cult.

A good ghost story is always as much about trauma that cannot be stitched, memory that cannot be trusted and the ache for certainty as it is about ghosts. - #CLNolan

Take a few minutes and absorb everything here. The barriers & challenges, the massive importance of visibility, senior mentors and all-woman shared training spaces.

This kind of thing is what's needed to make #trowelblazing fields inclusive for all women.

Hel is the Norse goddess of the dead. She ruled over the underworld, Niflheim, where she received the dead. Her name means “one that hides.” In Norse mythology, Hel’s father was the trickster god Loki and her mother the giantess Angrboda. 1/2 #FolkloreThursday
