#neopagan

So I'm thinking about tattoo ideas on account of my 40th birthday coming up. I really really want my first tattoo for my 40th birthday. I almost definitely want the tattoo related to my spirituality, my witchcraft and my Slavic heritage. So obviously I looked for symbols representing Mara/Marzanna/Morena, the goddess I feel the most kinship towards. And it came up with this cross symbol. But, obviously there are Pagan religious symbols, including Eastern European ones, that have been coopted by fascists. The most famous is obviously the swastika, but there are very much others. And I am not putting a symbol on my skin that is even loosely associated with people who claim to be "rodzimowiercy" (Polish for neopagans borrowing from Slavic mythology, basically) but who are just fascists. So I kept looking. And wouldn't you know it. The cross is part of the symbol of the Latvian fascists, because of course it is. Latvians aren't even Slavs! Are there any symbols left that aren't dragged through shit by fascists? Sigh. #neopagan #fedicoven
