Pagan Imagery in Everyday Habits Throughout our daily lives, we often engage in habits and practices that have underlying pagan imagery. These symbolic elements may have originated from ancient pagan traditions and have now become deeply ingrained in our modern society. While most people may not be aware of the pagan origins of these images or their implications, it is interesting to reflect on how they have been woven into our everyday lives. One example of pagan imagery in everyday habits is the use of the sun as a symbol.

In contemporary culture, we can see this symbolism in the use of the sun as a logo for various brands and companies.

Where to Find the Rune of Carve in WoW Classic: Season Of Discovery
Screenshot by GamepurSeas of Discovery’s Rune of Carve is found in each race’s starting zones and requires you to find and tame specific companion pets and hand them over to NPCs. This process requires you to find items, use them, and track down certain critter beasts in your starting zone, similar to the Glade and Prairie Crowns for the Druid Rune of Natural Potential.
Like the Rune of Flanking, this discovery varies depending on your race and the starting zone you are playing through, but the general concept and steps are the same, albeit with different items and critters to tame. This Rune will require your Hunter to be at least level ten and learn the ability to tame beasts, as you will need this skill to complete this discovery and get the Rune of Carving.
For starters, you will need to get a Musk or Pheromone item. This is required to tame your needed critter and is relatively easy to find once you know what enemies drop them. Luckily, we’ve got those details below and listed the items needed by race, what enemies drop them, and where you can find them.
| Race | Item Needed | Enemies That Drop Item | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dwarf | Rabbit Musk | Rockjaw Skullthumper Rockjaw Bonesnapper Rockjaw Ambusher | |
| Night Elf | Deer Musk | Gnarlpine Augur Gnarlpine Totemic Gnarlpine Ambusher Gnarlpine Pathfinder Gnarlpine Defender Gnarlpine Avenger Gnarlpine Shaman | |
| Orc/Troll | Adder Pheromones | Captain Flat Tusk Razormane Quillboar Razormore Scout Razormane Battleguard Razormane Dustrunner | |
| Tauren | Prairie Dog Musk | Palemane Skinner Palemane Poacher Palemane Tanner |
Once you have your required item, you can use it to give yourself the appropriate effect, allowing you to use the critter needed. For my Orc Hunter, this is an Adder, so I found the Adder Pheromones from fighting Quillboars, got a small stack of three in case I messed up, and used the item to get my effect.
The effect the item grants you will only last ten minutes, so you will need to be quick to complete this task, but don’t worry; we’ve got those details, too.
Another prevalent pagan image is that of the moon. In pagan traditions, the moon is often associated with feminine energy, intuition, and transformation. This imagery can be seen in various aspects of our lives. For example, many people have adopted moon phases as a way to track their menstrual cycles or plan their activities. The moon is also commonly used as a symbol of romance and mystery in literature, art, and even jewelry. Its ethereal allure and connection to the cycles of nature have made it a significant image in our everyday lives. One more example of pagan imagery that has permeated our habits is the use of plants and flowers. In pagan rituals and mythology, certain plants and flowers held symbolic meanings and were often used as offerings or in ceremonial practices. Today, we can observe the continuation of these associations in various cultural practices. For instance, the tradition of giving roses on Valentine's Day or decorating homes with plants during holidays like Christmas or Easter. These habits have carried on from ancient traditions, where plants and flowers were used to celebrate fertility, abundance, and the changing seasons. Overall, pagan imagery has successfully integrated itself into our everyday habits without most people even realizing it. The symbols of the sun, moon, plants, and flowers hold powerful meanings that draw upon ancient traditions. By understanding and acknowledging these underlying associations, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the richness and complexity of our daily rituals..
