Although my path is Germanic pagan, I have found so much wisdom in the Bhagavad Gita which I read in one weekend in December that I am trying to reconcile my practice with this pull towards Krishna.

Took a while for the lilies to open, but now with a little sunshine they are in all their glory.

When you make an offering to Wodan for Wodans-tag and then chant a round of the Maha Mantra to Krishna before sleeping, you know you've gone full-on honouring one's Proto-Indo-European heritage.

(Photo is of my own murti of Krishna).

Wodan is the wanderer seeking wisdom, and he hung on Yggdrasil to realise his fate and the fate of all else. He is as much a part of the created order as are we, hence Ragnarök and Götterdammerung, the Twilight of the Gods.

Three tree trunks and the wonderful patterns in their bark photographed on a walk this afternoon. The language of the Old Ways is written in a script beyond words, speaking eloquently of flourishing and dearth, and of all states as the measure of all else.

Ice coated leaves became an attractive subject for a quick photo earlier today. Temperatures hovering around zero Celsius here with clear blue skies and bright sunshine.

A spider's web embellished by Jack Frost spotted on a walk yesterday. All is connected, and the threads of reality weave together to create a beautiful whole if we but open our eyes and truly look.

The day is deliciously grey today, and a walk in the misty woods was definitely called for. Calm and quiet, with a sense of mystery within the trees.

Even an old stone drainage channel can look photogenic in the right settings. Discovered on a walk where the edge of the forest meets farmland.

My simple outdoor altar for the full moon this last Wednesday, honouring Wodan as leader of the Wild Hunt, guiding souls to rebirth.

A low ridge at the edge of the forest, carpeted with rich green moss which provides such a beautiful contrast with the prevailing autumnal colours.
