witch-of-morrioghain

Warning: this post contains a fair amount of UPG (they will be italicized). He seems to like it when I give Him certain things that aren’t necessarily mentioned in the sparse history we have on him. So, it’s really just a list of my successes through trial and error.
Coins. Particularly valuable ones. Don’t be stingy. He’s a god of wealth and finances. He’ll pay you back with interest.
Oak leaves and pine cones. He’s also associated with the Wilds. Outdoorsy things are nice to have.
Antlers. Loves them. Probably because…you know, the antlers.
Sex and/or pleasure. …What? He’s got fertility too. He is a god of many colors. But gods typically associated with fertility approve of consent and pleasure. If it’s not fun for you, it’s not fun for Him. Make sense. Oh goodness, I’m a little red. Let’s move on.
Flower crowns. This is a recent discovery. I have no idea why He loves it so much. Real or fake flowers seem to work just as well, either way.
Trees. This one is a bit complicated, I guess. Whether you buy a baby tree or just use one in your yard, simply dedicate it to Him. Bring offerings and things to the base of the tree. Nurture it. Love it. It basically becomes an outdoor shrine/altar.
Wine. I didn’t find anything that says this was a common offering to Cernunnos specifically, back in the day. So, I’ll just put it in as UPG just in case. But good, red wine is a pretty nice gift on occasion.
Food. I’m pretty sure this is a jack of all trades type offering. Everyone likes food. Just a matter of preference. Cernunnos is a hunter so, venison, rabbit, some kind of game bird, etc. These are all good to give. Best done with outdoor shrines. And don’t worry about stray dogs or scavengers coming around and eating it. I was told that that was just one way the gods accept offerings. Maybe not do it too often, though. Wouldn’t want to develop a problem with the local coyotes, now would we?
Hunting weapons. You don’t have to actually use them for hunting, but the sentiment is nice. Personally, I’m saving up to get Him a bow. I plan on giving him an offering out of the first buck I kill.
Animal Pelts. Following previous logic, dear pelts and things make lovely altar cloths.
Bones. He’s got life and death in His jurisdiction too. Skulls are probably a favorite of mine to give.
Aside from the usual things that pretty much every being likes, this is about it. At least, from what I’ve gathered through research and experiments. Pretty much anything you gather from outside, with respect to nature, is good in His book. Also, I feel I should probably mention that not everyone who worships Cernunnos has to go out hunting every season. It’s not for everyone. So, no pressure.
I hope you all found this rather helpful. Feel free to add to the list, too, if I missed something.

scinlae:

What do they have? Men? I have the Morrigan and Cernunnos. I have the Earth, the battle ravens, and the roaming wolves. I have the stags that haunt your nightmares and the darkness. I have spells to make you come to me. I have tools to break your bones or make you wish you were dead. I have ways to haunt your every waking minute… Oh, honey, I’m a witch and they are nothing.

Truth of the devotees of Mor Rioghain. All non-witch enemies will fail in their attempted challenges to a devotee. And you’re a fucking fool to try and oppose one in the first place.

The world is a terrifying place but at least the erupting volcano of Mayon is waking the ancients to remind us of our place
Quick note: original art is by Kerby Rosanes
Link to the original post here on the artist’s IG
Another note: This is in reference to the Filipino legend from Albay called “Daragang Magayon” [literally translated into “beautiful maiden”, with “daraga” meaning “maiden” and “magayon” meaning “beautiful”]
She’s a folk heroine, whose love story can be read here
It is said that her lover, Panganoron, is the clouds that surround Mt. Mayon’s peak, while she is herself the volcano, which has always been seen as remarkably beautiful in shape
It’s said that the volcano grew where they were buried together
Which is why the shape of two lovers seen in the smoke of its most recent eruption is so culturally significant.
And really, really cool.

Don’t need no MBA to know music’s my DNA

‘Cause every time I feel okay is when you look the other way

Stop a minute, mutation is coming on

Let’s get some fierce on, put a big beat on

On my way to redemption, my only way’s creation

On my way to salvation, my own revolution

My own revolution

You wanna be a star

But you don’t know who you are

On this day, 20 December 1973, Spanish fascist Prime Minister who was hand-picked as Franco’s successor Luis Carrero Blanco was assassinated in Madrid. Basque separatists ETA had spent five months digging a tunnel under a road he went down to attend mass. They then detonated a bomb as he drove over, shooting his car 20 metres into the air and over a five-storey building, earning Blanco the nickname of “Spain’s first astronaut”. His successor was unable to hold together different factions of the government, and was credited by some of helping accelerate the restoration of democracy after Franco’s death.
