I have received a clear message from my gods: you have to step back now.
On the 29th, I fired a shot at Elon Musk and other members of DOGE. A few days later, I found out that he was leaving the administration. The cutting and slashing of vital programs is still happening, though, so the destruction of DOGE as a whole remains to be seen.
On the 31st, which was Transgender Day of Visibility, I participated in a rally for our rights. (See photo at the bottom of this entry.) I wore my ritual robe with Icelandic staves, read a poem dictated to me by Loki, and then marched while playing the song “Krigsgaldr” (“War Song”) by Heilung on a Bluetooth speaker. It was invigorating, and made me feel as if we all are small parts of collective energy, and one with our ancestors in our struggle.
But there are still lurking threats.
I feel as if the marches (such as “Hands Off,” which brought millions of people outside over the past weekend) are going to be used as the rationale for a crackdown. There have been rumors about Trump invoking the Insurrection Act, which,
in a worse case scenario, could spell an end to the right to protest and usher in a fully authoritarian regime.
The gods have been right about everything so far, so I have little reason to doubt them now.
Óðinn has already ordered me into a defensive position, saying that I must do it in order to keep both myself and my community safe. While Loki runs around causing chaos (including those
solar flares and he promised), I have been directed towards the All-Mother, Frigg. It seems that she also reached out to me a long time ago, in 2023, in the form of Frau Holle, or Berchta.
Frigg being the goddess of the home, love, and magic, she wants me to start healing the frith between people locally. It seems she started by having the downstairs neighbor approach me, telling me he is leaving, and giving me a tearful, heartfelt apology for causing trouble.
The other
asynjur (goddesses of
Ásgarðr ), such as Hlin, Sjofn, Gefjun, and Syn, have also been in touch, teaching me to be more calm, patient, and hospitable towards those I once considered enemies.
On Saturday, I was led to my beloved rock and mineral show and instructed to purchase crystals such as
stillbite,
vogesite, and
hemimorphite to begin another stage of deep spiritual work.
See you after the full moon and
Sigrblót!
