TIL Vikings used ravens to navigate. They brought ravens aboard their ships, then released them and sailed in the same direction to find land. The raven was so important to them that it became the symbol on their flag.

#can confirm#they used ravens bc ravens can’t float like seagulls do and will physically habe to return to the ship if there’s no land within reach

thx @almostdefinitelydying for this precious nugget of viking wisdom

#wonder which viking discovered that…#some dude threw a raven in the water and was like whoops

I gotta wonder that too xD

3D Ocean Farming

A polyculture farming system, growing undersea crops and rearing shellfish, which uses the full depth of the water column. This is currently the most sustainable means of farming in the world, requiring little work or input. The sea plants also effectively filter the water, sequester carbon, help rebuild damaged undersea ecosystems, and improve biodiversity.

“We have to tell a story, a helpful story about the future. You know, it’s all bad news about climate change and food security. I think out here we can say our oceans are a blank slate and we really have a chance to really build something new, and build something from the bottom up that’s sustainable and restorative and doesn’t make all the mistakes of industrial agriculture or aquaculture.”
– Bren Smith, Ocean Farmer

🌊🌙🐚moon and ocean witch’s personal mermaid dust🐚🌙🌊

atlantian-water-spirit:

So I thought I would make a jar of mermaid dust to bring along with me wherever I go, also to put in my travel altar!

The point of it is to feel like I always have a little bit of the beach/ocean with me, as well as feeling close to my kin! 🐬

So here’s what’s in it:

✯(dry) beach sand

✯crushed various seashells I found myself

✯sea salt

✯incense ash

✯(dry) seaweed

How I made it:

✯spend a day at the beach 🏖

✯crush the seashells with either a mortar if you have one, or just use a rock (please be careful you get all the pieces as they could give you a nasty scrape on the foot if you step on it!)

✯mix in the sand, shell pieces, salt, ashes and seaweed (I bought mine at the grocery store!)

✯seal with wax if needed, or if you have a jar with a cork like mine, you’re good to go!

Happy swimming (: 🐚🐬🌊

Bonus: if you’re an Extra Sea Witch™, use a sea shell to scoop out your ingredients!

final product!
