I like how everybody is paired off haha
I have not committed any crime!
Today at my school we had an assembly about internet predators and when I had said that most of my true friends are over the internet and they gave me a lecture about how “I don’t know who I’m talking to” blah blah. So please, if you aren’t a predator in any way, please reblog so i can prove a point.
So I got asked how I made my helmet, so I decided to make an actual separate tutorial instead of just a few progress shots!
Materials:
EVA Foam
Packing or Painter’s Tape
Tin Foil
Cardstock (optional)
Okay, so first, I took a huge sheet of tinfoil and covered my head, leaving my face out:
then I covered the foil with tape, again leaving my face clear:
I then drew the basic pattern shapes onto the tape:
(again for clarity)
After, I CAREFULLY slipped it off, and cut along the lines. I cut a slit near the top of the side piece so I would know where to dart it on the foam:
I traced these onto cardstock to smooth and even the cuts I made:
I used these the trace onto my EVA, and cut those out. I made sure to cut the edges that meet along a diagonal after I cut the pieces out so that it would bend without showing the seam:
after that I just used hot glue to attach everything together, added superglue along the seams, sanded once dry, and cut the detail piece out of thin craft foam from the pattern i already made:
Paint it to your liking, et voilà!!
I've been meaning to ask since i asked you a question... weeks ago now... But you mentioned that you work with Seiđr and its reconstruction. Do you have any good sources either bok or website, where I can find out more about Seiđr?
Yes, I definitely do!
Seiðr is very much a large framework within both my personal and spiritual/religious practices. Because of my devotion to it, I have thus collected a myriad of books and websites as resources to develop my own dogma on the subject and for reference.
A lot of what we know about the practice is basically reconstruction from archaeology, historian research, Edda, many other primary allusions and today’s Heathens who have written collective-gnostic/ adherent works on seiðr-craft.
This, along with various other constructs and rites that pertain to Norsk “sending” and trance work.

Never not reblog!
Reblog this picture of me holding a Family Size box of Honey Nut Cheerios? I’d really appreciate it.
— Tiwaz —
Tiwaz is the rune associated with the god Tyr, and as such it represents much of the same qualities as him. It is a rune of victory and honor, but also of justice and sacrifice. It embodies the idea of the phrase “the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one”, and can be used to represent sacrificing now in order to prevail later.
I’m in! :3
Carrie was an utter gift.
