🍄 Intro post 🍄

You can call me Mora or Rosa ✨ I am a FOI priestess - but you can also refer to me as a Sacerdos since I am non-binary. I love Iberian mythology, deities and fae!
I am also an independently published author of a Portuguese queer urban fantasy series called Dia de Fataí 🍄

Blessings🫶

Blue Hunter: Varina clothes, legend of the Aljubarrota Baker (representing the center of Portugal)
Yellow hunter: Alentejo clothes, sickle for field workers (representing the south of Portugal)

More and more the ideia of “filtering” our true selves to appeal to the alt-right and teach them in baby steps is going around.
This is propaganda.
I will never change how I speak, how I act, how I look in favour of those who do not seek understanding. That is was being a witch is about.

Mythical Iberia @mythicaliberia.bsky.social · Jul 7

Es increíble que, desde el franquismo en España y la guerra fría en el resto de occidente, haya pervivido como enemigo eterno en las mentes derechistas un comunismo que no existe.

The Divine Queer is everywhere!

Ancient Iberian practices we know:

💀 Bone/Guts Divination

🪨 Stone Slabs Pattern Carving

🗡️ Sword and Food Offering

✍️ Promise Altars

These are not from the same time periods but are pretty much what we have to go off of #witchsky #pagansky

Daily Iberian Witch Tip!
Have a headache? Rub an egg on that forehead and break it without looking at it, and dispose of it. If you look at it, the headache will come back. #witchsky #pagansky

I definitely see the connection! Since Ataegina and Endovellico are also agricultural deities, they could have shared similarities in their relationship to Geshtinanna and Dumuzi.

Reminder that all my deity art is free to use in personal practice and share around as a form of devotion, to get much needed images of the Iberian Gods out there!

That’s all for today’s update of the Iberian Deities thread! Really wanted to do this so more and more information of them is shared around the world ✨

🌿🐐Connection🌿🐐

Ataegina and Endovellico are often paired together. Their cults were close. We don’t know the nature of their relationship. It is (too) popular to assign them the roles of Hades and Persephone . It’s possible they could have shared a cult for both being underworld guides. #witchsky

Two Gods, Endovellico holding Ataegina’s hand in a descent motion, paired with their divine animal.

In this thread, I will cover modern perceptions of them, and will accompany each with my own art of them. May they find their cult in the now so they can be more known.
(None of this replaces researching academic and spiritual works on them)

This leads to the mystery around them, having little academic consensus on their practices and even domains. There are no myths, just names on stones and patterns identified through syncretism.
