Nobody noticed the missing detective?

Is it me or is it wierd that none of the vampires in Seattle ever mention Fabian? It's not like there are hundreds of kindred running around and he has had a pretty important role for a century. You can't mention him to anyone and nobody mentions him or his disappearance. His body apparently just stayed untouched in the warehouse for a full day. I kept thinking there was going to be some twist where Fabian's existence was an illusion or something.

Devotion towards Mnemosyne

Greetings. so to get this out of the way, I am not a Hellenist myself. I consider myself a Germanic Heathen, dedicated mostly to Mimir. I recently came across the Titan Mnemosyne, and based on the lore I see, I can see strong and important similarity's between her and Mimir.

Now, Mimir is a frustrating diety to be devoted to, mostly because He himself isn't exactly forthcoming with information or communication, but also because there are so very few traces of devotion or even actual recognition regarding him, historical or modern.

I am slowly starting to become less "keep to one pantheon to properly understand the context and dept of individual diety's" in my praxis. Mnemosyne's lore is facinating to me and very inspirational, but as I expected, there is not much signs of Cultus regarding her.

So I'll try here. Are there people here that worship Mnemosyne? Any personal insights or experiences you might want to share? I think I might want to try and "invite her in", but it's always good sense to know who you are trying to talk to.

I'm likely going to spend 99 euro's on a preorder because of my therapist

I mentioned my gaming as escapism today, that I'm deep in Oblivion remasterd right now. She mentioned that that's a good choice and "how long till Fable comes out and will we have to cancel appointments right after?". Which got me to check out the updates a bit and before I thought the "premium version" on steam was just 30 bucks for 5 days earlier gametime. But I checked it out and the bastards hold the promise of a non-specified story drivin future DLC in front of me a like carrot for a mule.

Is it going to be 3 quests and a gag-weapon as a reward? Is it going to be an expasion on the lore and story and flesh out the setting? Is it going to become available years later? Will the price drops to a few dimes and a firm handshake?

I don't know, but this FOMO mule is baited and preparing to charge.

Troth and Fire and Ice organisations.

First off, I know of the various periods of controversy and organizational incompetence of the Troth. I.e. Paxon and the Loki's Wyrdlings story's. I know I won't want to really "belong" to that organisation

As for Fire and Ice. I agree with the fundamental principles, expressive political positioning and a willingness to look beyond just history.

My question is, do these organisations provide value when your connect? The public info regarding theology is, very much superficial Beginner Trivia levels. Are there resources that are more insightful and inspiring available for members? Are they decent ways to meet Heathens interested in conversations more interesting then "look at my beard" and "check out this quote i copy pasted"?

Can't login to my wordpress.org account.

I have an old wordpress account that's not .org. Now I've started making a site using Hostinger and wordpress.org. but when I try to use the app it logs in my old account, having used the same email adress. Is there a way for my new main account, the . org one, to connect to the app? Should I look for a way to connect the accounts? Will it do anything usefull if I remove the old account? (I'd really rather not).

For those who don't know, Firthcast was a podcast about Heathenry that schratches a very specific itch. They went beyond the "oh isn't it silly that Thor had a dress on once also here is a list of Poetic Edda story's." And actually inspired next-step thinking. Interpretations and opinions that made me want to actively listen. Their voices are clear and consistent, and there is no random harp in the background making the words incomprehensible. Overall, this podcast is the bar I now judge heathen content on. (the few minutes spend on geeky jokes and references are annoying to me, but easy enough to just bite through).

The last post on facebook I can see is from february 2024 and very much talking about the intent to keep going. Websites and social media accouns they mentioned in their podcasts turn up empty. It is such a shame because I love podcasts about heathenry that isn't the same few points of trivia and shallow opinions. And I only really got into their work recently.

https://gythainjeans.podbean.com/ The podcasts themselves are luckily still online. Does anyone know if there is a reason they stopped? What happened to them? And also, are there other podcasts out there that are as good as this at having content not limited to basic lore and historical trivia?
