Nocturnal, also known as the Night Mistress or Lady Luck, is the daedric prince of night, shadow, darkness, and luck.
She rules over a plane known as Evergloam, a constant midnight, full of dangerous beings.
Nocturnal can be worked with in spells involving luck, darkness, keeping things hidden, and of course, curses.Her colors are black and purple, and her summoning day is September 3rd.
I strove to understand her labyrinthine philosophy, the source of her mysterious pain. Everything about her was dark and shrouded, even the way she spoke and the acts she required of me. It took years for me to understand the simple fact that I could never understand Nocturnal. Her mystery was as essential to her as savagery was to Boethiah or treachery was to Molag Bal. To understand Nocturnal is to negate her, to pull back the curtains cloaking her realm of darkness. As much as I loved her, I recognized the futility of unraveling her enigmas.

The Lore: Jyggalag is the daedric prince of logical order and deduction. Unlike the other princes, he does not have a summoning day to himself. He is the total opposite of Sheogorath, the mad god, as well as part of him. Every 1000 years, an event called The Greymarch occurs where Jyggalag will comeforeward to destroy and reconstruct the shivering isles to his liking.
Offerings: Water, Incense (especially of a more traditional kind), partaking in things like protests or general activism, embracing your strengths.
Altar ideas: selenite crystals, clear quartz, things made from glass, white candles,
UPG: I’ve only worked with Jyggalag once, but my experience was very pleasant! He seems to point out people’s strengths rather than weaknesses, and over all was very polite, but don’t go think he’s some major softie either, he’s like a stern but kind teacher. If someone needs to be put into their place, he will do it.
Honestly, one of the things that I find most interesting in Elder Scrolls lore is the connections between music and the Daedric Princes, especially Sheogorath.
The first story in the book “Myths of Sheogorath” is titled “Sheogorath Invents Music.” In the story, Sheogorath comes across a woman wistfully speaking about how beautiful birds songs are. Sheogorath silently agrees with her, then rips her apart and uses her corpse to create instruments.
However, before doing this, the Mad God laments how “[m]ortals could not make the beautiful and inspired calls of birds. Their voices were wretched and mundane.”
I find this quite interesting. Why would the Prince with such a strong connection to creativity dislike mortal singing voices? It seems odd, until you look at the book “The Standing Stones.”
“The Standing Stones” is a book describing “a brief history and description of The Shivering Isles’ Obelisks of Order.” These Obelisks are connected to Jyggalag, the Daedric Prince of Order, who was cursed to become the thing he hated most (madness) and thus Sheogorath.
“The Standing Stones” describes the authors interactions with the obelisks, including trying to destroy them. According to the author, “[n]othing harms [the obelisks]. (Although perhaps they still feel the blows. They seemed angry for a while. I sang to them and that seemed to soothe them. I can’t say why.”
The author SANG to the obelisks to soothe them. Not only that, but the obelisks are said to hum, “which you can hear if you lean against a stone and listen very closely.”
Perhaps the Mad God hates the sound of mortal’s singing because of the connection to Jyggalag. That’s what I think, anyways.
However, that does lead to one question:
Why does the Daedric Prince of Order and Logic, who stands in opposite to the Mad God and everything he stands for, have connections to mortals’ creative singing?
Nevaeh now wears a scarf to cover several bald spots and her singed
hair. She was left with first-degree burns, but it could have been worse
according to Tanya Robinson, Nevaeh’s mother.
“The doctor told me her hairstyle saved her life,” Tanya recalled. “Had it been different, she might not be here.”
This isn’t the first time Nevaeh has experienced bullying. Two years ago, another student broke her thumb.
I’m walking into that school like
Hate crime. It should qualify as one.

Nevaeh is thirteen years old. This happened at Gompers School in the Philadelphia School District. The school district has not issued any comment, but y'all can make yours:

This happened October 25, 2018. This isn’t some random post that won’t die. It’s happening now. Call. Demand accountability and this be treated as a hate crime.
one time alexander the great rode dick for 8 hours and then spent 8 hours the next day riding a horse, and that’s why i believe bottoms deserve more credit
Except no, he didn’t. There is no evidence anywhere that says Alexander the Great was gay. What historical reference says that? His multiple wives maybe? His many children born to them? Or whatever delusion you’ve cooked up to pass your own opinion?
honey , i’m not spending an extra year in uni to get a classics degree not to respond to this directly
i) alexander had one (1) unborn child at the time of his death, because he only, miserably, managed to knock up one of his three (3) wives after his boyfriend died
–> had alexander produced more than ONE (1) child, the hellenistic age would not have been defined by the fallout caused by his generals warring to decide a successor, ultimately destroying his empire and arguably sending everyone from macedon to modern-day palestine into a cultural dark age
ii) macedonian kings took multiple wives to secure succession, a political move that alexander resisted despite the urging of both antipater and olympias (i’ll let you google them on your own time) for almost an literal
decade
– > there’s an anecdote found in the curtius , your “historical reference” – you can google his dates – about alexander’s parents sending him a hooker because they were afraid he didn’t … how do i say it nicely? wanna fuck women
it’s absolutely true that you can’t say alexander was gay; that’s grossly reductive, because sexuality didn’t exist by modern definition in ancient times. more, alexander DID bone a woman, willingly, at one point – a satrap’s (google that) wife, named barsine, with whom he may or may not have produced a bastard child called heracles. getting dicked down doesn’t negate wanting to dick another down, an interesting concept that you would be familiar with if you took a quick jaunt out of that homophobic bubble wrap you’ve duct-taped yourself into. we also can’t FOR SURE 100% conclusively say that alexander and hephaestion boned; but plutarch, curtius, and diodorus are some notable biographers who delve into detail about alexander’s life-long, likely romantic connection to his right hand man, who he mourned so excessively at the time of his death that there was hardly a dime left for alexander’s own funeral. they didn’t make that shit up – you can google what source criticism is, but some of THEIR sources included ptolemy i soter and callisthenes – oof, more people for you to google! modern scholars from reames to borza to müller to green assume that he was getting dicked down for the above reasons, too!
at last, i shall acknowledge that my Humour Post refers to lucian (pro lapsu inter salutandum 8), who has some wink-wink-nudge-nudge content concerning who slept in whose tent when, but who wants to retread old ground? here’s another one of my favorites instead:
323 was the year of alexander’s death (historical!), but even if lucian made all of this up, as this scholar seems to nudge at, it’s still quite telling that a cultural memory and historical tradition that the romans associated with alexander included his love of massive, throbbing cocks, non?
people who share your dreadfully uninformed and outdated opinion include, if i’m not mistaken, a handful of stodgy greek lawyers, a man named william woodthorpe tarn, and helmut berve. tarn was an imperialist, and berve? a literal nazi.
Who remembers all the drama from last year with a youtuber named Evalion? Onision, LeafyIsHere, and a couple of other well known youtubers made videos on her. If you don’t remember her, this should help your memory a bit.
She’s back again on youtube, this time with her husband. Their channel is called “National Revolutionary Center.” They claim to no longer identify with white nationalists, but Evalion posted this on her twitter a little while ago, and you can find more posts like it if you do a bit more digging.
These are the few videos she’s made on runes. DO NOT TRUST THEM.
I have a feeling she’ll post more. She seems to have endorsed Heathen religion to justify herself, and I am just trying to make sure that nobody believes the runes videos she posts/has yet to post, especially the people that are new to the community or those who haven’t heard of her before.
I, myself, am not a member of the Heathen community, but I do strongly respect it and care for it. I am fascinated by the eddas and the history of Heathen and Northern European religious practices, and I hate seeing how Neo-Nazis have tainted the image of it all and how the loving, thriving community of Heathens get lumped together with racists like Evalion.
I only have a few followers, but I really hope this gets out, so PLEASE reblog this. Feel free to add any other youtubers to watch out for on this if you do decide to reblog this.
