We’ve been getting a few questions on how to set up an altar. Norse Heathenry doesn’t really have a strictly prescribed altar setup. Obviously, eclectic pagans don’t either. However, for those who’ve never done the whole altar thing before and really have no idea where to begin, here are a few suggestions to get you started.
My second proper original post, which is a bit sad but I found out about goblincore earlier today and I browsed goblincore for literal hours while talking to my boyfriend who was trying to understand my weird obsession, I have always loved:
- Rocks
- Driftwood
- Keys
- Weird knick knacks
- Crystals
- Buttons
- Glass jars and bottles
- Bottle caps
- various other shiny and nature-y things
So trying to explain that to him was difficult but he was really sweet about it and even offered to send me a button and I was like "I would cherish that button and make a necklace with it and never ever stop wearing it", I don't think he understands how such a small thing can give someone such joy.
Maybe I should say something about Trinket too. She's a shy, kind natured, friendly forest goblin who lives in a tiny broken down cottage in the woods by a lake with her hoard of beautiful rocks, crystals, bottles among other curio that she found while taking walks. She has her own toadstool and flower garden. I think this is the most wholesome thing I've ever created 😅
Literal goals, I just told my boyfriend that I absolutely love buttons and other random things and he was like "...I can send you a button in the mail..?" and I was just like "UHM YES PLEASE I LOVE BUTTONS AND I WILL CHERISH THAT BUTTON FOREVER"
A mix of my shiny/ earthy hoardes :)

hi, I’m very new to goblincore (as of today) but I want to dive in right away! tips/advice pls? thank you
honestly youre probly quite goblim already,, but letting yourself lean into the joys of goblinhood would absolutely be my number one new gorblin tip,!!
this community is all about embracing the weirdly wonderful aspects of yourself and putting a name and community to them., so theres quite a number of ways you can express your gobliney self.,, such as:
- growing plants
- collecting rocks and other fun objects
- appreciating frogs, snails and other slimey and nonslimey beauties
- going for long walks and yelling respectful comments at trees
- tearing down the oppressive systems that attempt to keep us subdued (e.g. capitalism, the patriarchy, mortality, homophobia, grammar, speeling etc.)
- loving yourself as you would love a baby bird and treating yourself with the care and attention you deserve
- burrowing into a cave or blankets (whichever is easiest) whenever you feel the urge
- and any other odd impulse that would bring you happiness
i hope this was helpful my new gorblin frien,,. and if any other goblims have some advice for a newbie,, feel free to lemme know :)
ok its 1 am but heres my goblin hoard!
I just discovered goblin core and I am so glad because I have been hoarding so many tiny shiny things and now I have a place to show them hehehhehe
i nominate danny devito for the title of true goblin king
Maybe there are some things not happening in every city but they definitely do in mine and it makes living in the city as a goblin way cooler. Feel free to ask and/or ad.
I can never escape, and I am never polished to keep my shine.
