The Wisdom of Odin is a vlog of my journey through Norse Paganism, a way to assist others along their journey, and a place to promote a positive image for all of paganism.
While I personally declare myself as a Norse Pagan, I speak on topics that also involve aspects of Asatru, Heathenry, and other pagan identities such as Slavic/Celtic/Germanic paganism.
The Wisdom of Odin is not associated or affiliated with any orginizations religious or politcial in nature. This channel/community is inclusive to all but is also non-political.
All gatherings held through the Wisdom of Odin and its extended community are private events held and organized by the members of the community. The only service the Wisdom of Odin provides is a place to connect with others of similar beliefs in the old ways.

Loki, has shown up from time to time in my life.
He is actually the guy you really enjoy being around because he is fun, like a magician, but you always know that no mater what he says, he won't be there when you need him.
While I take my dogs out, I look up and just thank Odin the allfather for my life and blessing me with life. Ik it’s not perfect or a real offering but it makes me feel good just thanking him. Like giving my dad a hug in a sense
I'd imagine he'd be there looming back and say "thank yourself, it's your life" and then proceed to suggest you doing something in a long round about way just for shots and giggles.
(I say this because I recall in one of the stories he takes disgust as a ferryman and tells Thor to walk around the -I wanna describe it as a lake, I don't recall the correct word sorry- for no reason other than to watch him do it. -again at least my understanding of the story...)
Offering ideas:
Freyr- apples, whole wheat stuff, corn, nuts, pork. Appreciating nature. Putting your grudges aside and dedicating a day to peace.
Loki- anything high sugar content or cinnamon flavored. Pranks. Spider drawings (the more poorly drawn the better). Cheesy jokes.
Frigg- anything spun like wool or woven yarn or something like that. Apparently she weaves the clouds. Also cleaning up in honor of her. Keeping together family bonds.
Mani- Jasmine tea, anything jasmine. Moonstone. Just your time.
Freya was the first goddess I ever gave an offering too, I built an alter to her and brought her spring flowers of many different colors, it was a life changing moment in my life.
When I was reading into old practices, I was reminded that faith (trú) was never separated from day to day tasks and the word only appeared after Christian influence; what I took from that historical context is that every action we take is infused with belief/intention. Let’s say, I’m cleaning my kitchen, I’m also cleaning thinking of health and wellness and it’s connection to Eir.
I think I frequently offer but as a “thank you”. During holidays I’ll give my boasts, toasts and oaths or ask for fruitful seasons but acknowledging what I have around me and my own capabilities through practice and wisdom is the intent behind my frequent/out of season offerings - ie almost any time I bake, I’m sharing my best of the batches. For hokunnot, the gods got some fucken sick lavender and vanilla cupcakes with Meade- like a massive pride of mine - and it seems to have gone over well.
TL;DR - I offer my baking or crafts and honour the gods with reflection in every day tasks.
This is basically how I do it. I don't feel the need to have an alter or anything like that. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with having one mind! Everyone can honour the Gods how they feel best 😊
But I give myself as the offering so to speak. At work I push myself as if in a gym, always do that little bit extra or go out of my way for a customer. I pick up litter some mornings on route to work to show appreciation for the world around me. And a number of other things too I just don't want to come across like I'm saying I'm holyer than thou 😂
But through my life and actions, my footprint on the world and the people I meet, that's how I honour the Gods and give thanks.
These are great suggestions. For Freyja I have offered sparkling wine and cat whiskers that I find. Cats shed these and I have 2. Tyr to me shows great bravery. Especially in protecting someone or defending. As for Loki I never ever ever think of him in any type of darkness. To me he's a positive force. I absolutely hate the personification of him by Marvel/Disney+. It's insulting by every means. I don't trust anything that is written and/or translated by a christian and that includes Snorri. So I read it with a grain of salt. My offering to Loki is sharing a glass of scotch. Have a conversation. Being myself. Read everything I can get a hold of. Have a sense of humor and love life..... Sorry about the rant.😔
There is quite a divide in the faith over Loki veneration, I discuss this in detail in a video I made during Loki week. Even in the Poetic Edda Loki is a mixed bag, sometimes helping other times harming.
In fact I would say some of the most charming Loki stories actually come from the Prose Edda. Utgarda-Loki and the tale of the One Ring and the Otter, are some of the most positive Loki stories we have.
In Mathias Nordvigs introduction to Asatru he writes that he always gives an offering to Loki before other Gods to insure that the gift makes it to the right place. It also is a way to continue to hold the oath between Odin and Loki that Odin will not drink if Loki is not allowed to. This is probably the thing I connect to the most because it is based in the mythology to some degree.
I am not sure we will see a time that Loki veneration is not polarizing, but I am glad it seems you have a positive relationship with him 🍻
@@TheWisdomOfOdin Thank you so much for your encouragement. I wish others could see it that way. I did see your video back in June and, as always, look forward to them. I have the Asatru and Prose and Poetic and every other mythology writings I can get my hands on. Again thank you, my friend. Skol! I'm pouring myself a scotch.🥃
@@TheWisdomOfOdin Fireball Whisky for Loki. :)
@@Pagansong No thanks. I'll stick to single malt.
@@TheWisdomOfOdin For me as a non-binary person, I find Loki's role as boundary-crosser makes them a deity that's very comfortable to connect with. My interpretation of them is mostly as one who exists to remind us not to follow blindly, and not to submit to authority at our own expense.
my natural instinct when making an offering to the gods is digging a fire pit and drumming/singing/dancing/cooking food. (pagan bbq) my experience is after spending a night of singing the praises of the gods, they will show an omen to you in time if they answer you or not.
Heimdall connected to me during my field Exercise in the Army recently. He came to me in the form of a thunderstorm in my sleep. Granted this felt like Thor for a second until what he said to me, “ go to the halls of Valhalla in the city of Monru there you will find what you seek “ that phrase was spoken to me and I asked my friend who has been a Pagan longer than me and I asked him what it meant. He said that’s something heimdall would say and I felt honored that he came to me and became my first god
Hey Jacob. Im a Norse pagan as well. Ive been on this path for 4 years now and still learning. Anything I learn, I dedicate to Odin the Allfather. He is my patron god. Right now me and my wife learning about becoming modern nomads. We feel pulled by Odin to wander and learn more on the road and find our best selves. We are currently looking for a bus or big van to convert ourselves into a mobile home. This whole adventure we will be doing will be in honor of the Wanderer, the One Eye, Grimmnir, Wotan, Woden, Odin...
You are doing the right thing
You're becoming a nomad? Geez who could've guessed after your version of the norse religion
Baldur is my Patron and I have found spreading kindness and giving compliments please him the most
for me, frigg is closely associated with the home. keeping a tidy space, cultivating a cozy and welcoming environment, and being a thoughtful hostess are ways I have honored her. For offerings, I buy and burn nice woodsy scented candles and offer things related to the strong women in my family/matrilineal family line. For example, many women of my family sent flowers when I had surgery. i dried those, stored them with salt (which I use for protection) and have offered that to great result. I also have good results with a beautiful tarot deck that I dedicated to her.
I like to give Freya fresh flowers from my garden, fresh wild herbs like catnip and chamomile, fresh fruits like cherries and oranges, and wine. I am more "witchy" with my offerings and light sweet smelling incense and meditate on my past behavior and the days to come. I've been in a difficult rut in my life recently and Lady Freya brings me peace.
Loki loves sweets! Candy, cakes, pies. Brownies, especially! Cookies, things like that. I was giving my kids animal crackers and Nilla wafers one day. I snagged one for myself and as I went to put the bag away my ears started ringing loudly and I was hit with a small bout of vertigo. I asked, "did you want one, Loki?", and it immediately stopped. So I left some as an offering in my little spot for him on my bookshelf beside my bed. I also often share little treats I buy myself with him.
He also seems to really like gifts given to him by children. (He is the parent of 6.) Kids toys, cheap McDonald's toys, etc.
And apparently cinnamon or fire whiskey/alcohol is a winner too. Also mead.
Also, yes. Oddities are always fun. I work with pizza dough so on occasion I'll offer a little wad of dough for him to play with while I'm working.
He's kind of a big kid, really. But he does have a serious side. If you are in emotion pain, talk to him, (or Fenrir. Pain is a good offering for Fenrir, as is meat,) he will listen and may even try to cheer you up. He's actually a pretty good listener.
Thank you for sharing this!
Hello all! I’m so glad I’ve found this channel. I’ve known in my heart and soul that I was Norse Pagan since was a little girl but am finally free to practice on my own and openly. I’m so excited for this journey. Is anyone here from Buffalo!? I need friends
I've found I feel best giving offerings of things I enjoy and want to share because the gods may appreciate something from me that I enjoy myself. I can't poour anything out outside so I do have to use indoor settings like sinks, but the meaning is there. I did manage to get help giving a gift of pumpkin seeds to Huginn and Muninn recently, just because I love them and wanted to offer Odin's ravens something nice. I only really ever offered Tyr mead once as a shot, but, the gods seem to appreciate when you share with them. If it's something you enjoy and you even THINK they might appreciate it, don't hesitate. In my experiences they're very understanding of circumstances.
I have been told that you need to remember that every time you do an offering/blót you ask for the god's attention - and they are busy deities, so you might end up annoying them if you blot every Sunday without a really good reason 😅
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with all of us.
Now I Know What To Give With Your Help Thank You So Much🙏 Hail Jacob And May The Gods Keep You❤️
Glad I was able to help!
The first carrot that I grew in my garden (first successful attempt) that survived the snow in Texas last February, threw it on a fire giving it to Freyr and it immediately it burned up.
This is a thing i came up for Baldr: since he is connected to light, and usually he is presented to be almost shining, i draw him little sunflowers: since they turn towards light 🥰
Imagine if a shit ton of people started giving you funeral flowers, memorials and eulogies but you’re still alive. I don’t think I’d like that much. Not too sure Baldur would either. Seems about as silly as people wearing the Roman execution device around their neck when worshiping Jesus.
I would also think that if I was the god of the ocean, a whole bunch of people giving me a bunch of stuff that I already have would get old too. I would be like
“Yah I already have a billion seashells, my whole domain is full of them. Why not give me a cow or something. Or like maybe a fucking tree. We don’t have anything like that down here.” Lol
But on a serious note, last summer I made a hand carved set of runes and I suddenly felt compelled to give them to Frigg. So I buried it in my back yard, and built a fire pit over it.
I gifted the rune set to Frigg not asking for anything in return. I had never given anything to Frigg before or even talked to her at all. And about a week later I got a call from someone who found out I was an IT Professional and they were desperately in need of me right at that moment. I got to name my price because nobody wants to work anymore it seems.
I used to run an IT business but the pandemic ended that so I was starting to run out of money from my savings account. I hadn’t even started looking for a job at that time and it just fell in my lap.
So I gave Frigg my best ever carved rune set and she gave me a job. Haven’t really done any practice sense then because I follow the philosophy of not overburdening with gifts. I also work to be as self-reliant as possible and never grovel at an alter begging for shit. But I know where it came from and I am grateful.
Therefore I publicly acknowledge Frigg and the gift that she gave me.
HAIL FRIGG!!!
I love that you included dedicating actions to Thor, I offer workouts to him a lot! :)
I give Týr things like knives and tea or coffee. Knives can be a weapon for the war-god Týr, and tea or coffee has caffeine that keeps people alert, good in war.
I mostly follow Odin, and you're right when you say he sometimes leaves you or makes you figure it out by yourself, but when he does help me in my life and my search for wisdom, I offer him whatever is scarce and precious to me. This includes alcohol, tobacco, sometimes I even do an extra rep or turn the shower on cold. Maybe the last ones sound stupid, but I just say that energy is for Odin.
Thank you for this video, Jacob. I appreciate your help in the revivification of this beautiful faith.
Knowing that Ansuz is the rune of the Allfather, I choose to honor Odin by working on my grammar in speaking and writing. I work by reducing verbal crutches such as, "like" and "you know" that I find replete in modern English speakers.
I honor Jord by composting and recycling. It could be considered an offering to her as well, since the compost leaches into the soil.
I honor Tyr by being disciplined, moral, consistent and having a strict fasting regiment.
I have offered Thor large quantities of beer!
I like all of these, especially working on composition/grammar in reference to Odin. You've given me a few great ideas. Tak, bror (eller søster) :)
First and foremost... THANK YOU JACOB! I absolutely love your content, lots of great information! I sing to Freya, and the wind always blows, especially if it's still, or if it's blowing slightly I'll always get a gust in my face. I've done it countless times and gotten a response.
Singing is a great offering I forgot to mention! (For me I go with Poetry) but truly song and dance are something that has been lost in pagan worship, at least in the modern sense
Awesome you gave me some great ways to incorporate offerings. Love your channel
Thanks for the video Jacob, I also like to mention, that I offer at least once a year to Hel, especially around samhain, since most of us will end up in her halls, just to show her respect and to thank her for a "afterlife" home.
Not everyone ends up in either Hel or Vallhalla... if I remember correctly there are at least a couple other places depending on the circumstance.
I mean the worst possible fate I'd imagine is becoming a Draugr (not sure if I used the right world) a reanimated body that had an unpleasant death or unfinished business (I may be slightly off in my interpretation of it... if so please correct me I'm still new...) but yea to wander Midgard after death as a decomposing corpse is not something I wish my loved ones to have to worry about... (probably won't ever happen but hey you never know considering what's going on today)
But yea the two fates after death I truly wish never to happen on myself or anyone are becoming a Draugr (again might not be the exact word I'm thinking king of) or even being a corpse on the back/wings of Niddhoggr awaiting ragnarok
As always video is a huge benefit to me. Going into my first offerings and thankful for tne freedom of choices.
Thank you for another great video. I've been struggling to connect with the Gods and I'm hoping a few offerings will coax one of them to speak to me. I'll even take one of those startling moments when Odin jumped out to you at work.
Dont try to force it too much 🍻 just live with honor, stop and smell the roses, and be thankful for all that teaches you!
@@TheWisdomOfOdin that's the plan. You really have taught me a lot and I really appreciate it. Some day I hope to make it to a gathering so I can thank you in person. But until then, I'll do my best to honor them and enjoy the journey.
Pretty new to the offering bit of this faith and you explained it so well and calmly! thank you so much :)
This was very helpful! I think I have been offering too often, it becomes less special.
I just found your channel the other day and all of the information has definitely helped me with my own journey into Norse paganism. So thank you Jacob
Glad its been helpful to you!
I've been looking for a good guide as for offerings and u did just the job, skal
Jacob, this is one really really interesting video and I thank you for combining the offerings for so many deities in one-to-go place. I'm so saving this piece in my UA-cam saved videos.
Also, still thinking about sweets and "not much can be turned down by Loki"? I would say it worked for me last time.
Really appreciate you making these videos !!
My go-to is incense, can customize the scent based on which god and the smoke also cleanses and blesses us in exchange
I have offered Loki hostess snack cakes and mountain dew 😂
I have seen some weird and wild Loki offerings over the past couple of years now lol
I’ve also noticed in my practice that goddesses like Freya frig sif love it when you boost a woman’s confidence in a polite way example complementing a woman shirt complementing the color of her hair her perfume she’s wearing or just overall complementing her on her vibe that she’s giving out into the world they love that in my practice every time I have complimented a woman on her appearance or anything I feel like I hear Freya and frig and sif smiling and saying well done
Another great offering is any type of rescuing of animals if you see a baby animal without its mother and it doesn’t come call your local wildlife preserve if you see a kitten nurse it back to health not saying keep it but nursing back to health and find it a home
In my opinion animals are one of the closest things we have in connection to the gods because they see things that we cannot see and most of them are very loyal especially cats and dogs
Another great offering for frig giving a mother’s love to someone who may never feel what a mother‘s love is like for example children in foster care become a foster parent or volunteer just love
Jacob, I definitely appreciate your knowledge on Woden the Allfather and the other gods and goddesses. I definitely will give more offerings to them when I go out in Nature of the forest! May Odin the Allfather keep giving u wisdom and knowledge! Skál💀🍻💪🤛
Hello, My name is Kai. I just recently became a Norse Pagan. Though I come from a warmer part of the world. I have found since I have moved to Breckenridge in Colorado that I feel more connected to Ullr and Skadi. I have become an avid skier and im planning on getting into hunting in the backcountry especially in the beautiful and silent snowy mountains surrounding me. I give an offering to Ullr before each ski day. As well its been turned touristy but they have Ullr fest here, a celebration of Ullr and to pray to him to bring snow. I wish to thank you for this channel for it is very helpful for me as support while i read the Eddas. I was born male at birth I now identify as Non-binary. I know Loki is known as to transfigure into a mare to give birth to slepnir, and has given birth to Jormangandur and Hel. I was wondering if being Non-binary limits or hurts my connection to the gods? thank you for everything you do. Skal
so i work with Ràn, and i generally give shells, sand, sea water, and other ocean things, but i sometimes also give creme de violette, which she seems to like. she is a very scary deity, like the scariest mother with a chancla you have ever seen. that said, she is not generally malicious. i do a fair amount of spirit work, mostly with spirits that are going somewhere and have been lost along the way, and most of them go to ràn.
Thank you so much for this video, Jacob. It's helped my family view my offering to Tyr (I was in the US Army for 20 years) in a much better light & understand it better. Also, where in Kentucky did you film this beautifully shot entry?
I Needed this thanks, skal!
As an offering to Ullr & Skadi I personally give them single malt whisky as this is my favourite drink through the cold it times of the year
Oh and you can also donate stuff for cats or even care for local stray cats in Freyja's name 😊
Your videos are so helpful! 🖤
❤ My last name ties very closely to one of Ođin's theonyms, Gautr, so for me it makes sense to look into the origins of my family name (albeit, mostly speculation after +500 years of spotty record keeping).
I dedicate my time and energy to learning about the old Norse ways and my family lineage. I have spent tons of hours on mysticism and healing plants, and I smoke my tobacco pipe as an offering to the Allfather. My paternal lineage has always been comprised of men who placed great value on knowledge, learned experiences (f around and find out), and the preservation of traditions. We don't slay animals in the name of the Gods, but we have our own rituals that are kept very close to the heart.
Another great video man!! Until The Hall
Great ideas. When I really intentionally have given offerings, I've given Aquavit to Freya, Skathi, Odin, Thor and Frigg. I've also gifted corn and fresh bread. All good :)
Minecraft is great for those in the broom closet. Spending that time and thought is still very powerful. Building a temple for them in survival or other things like that. It can be very good for those who can't do anything openingly. :)
Agreed even something small Like this is a great way to connect even if it’s more really the thought that counts I guess
Edit: almost forgot, under rated comment
I’m die hard naturalist / pagan... and I like and applaud your idea. Build the mind palace... many blessings come-
Ima do that now thanks
This helps me a lot 🥰 Thank you for your great Videos.
Some really cool suggestions, thank you. I would like to ask though, what about herbs? Are you aware of specific herbs that would resonate with different Gods? When it comes to plant life, the only one I feel sure about, in a negative way, is mistletoe for Baldr. They're connected, but tragically. I can't imagine him liking that.
I’ve gave multiple offerings that have evaporated in just a few days
This is a wonderful video, thank you for showing us your personal rituals and offerings.
I am new to Norse paganism, and I have a technical question. So say I leave an offering of meat, or a shot of alcohol on an altar. How do I properly and respectfully dispose of the offering when I’m done? Is it seen as disrespectful to throw the meat away? Should I eat it? I don’t want it to seem like I’m taking the offering away after giving it.
Best offering for all of them is of course beer 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I have been planning on incense that have a scent of pine as a general offering.
This video helps me a lot with offering and some many question.
As a Norse pagan form east asia, it lack of information.
And I afraid of gods or this community won't accept a asian like me.
I'm truly believe in and respect all gods in asgurd, and I really felt some strong connecting with gods.
Sorry about my bad english and grammar.
I know we have very little sources on certain offerings but we can use our own intuition to offer the gods. I give grain to Odin for Hugin and Munin and meat for his wolves. For Freyja for some reason anything pink or red but Cowslip is her sacred flower but Marigolds are also great, for me I give her anything that rabbits or hares I do not know why but obviously cat tokens and sheds of cat claws and fur and weaving. Also I place my jewelry on her altar for safekeeping. She also loves songs in my experience especially love songs. I dedicate certain acts for offerings like weaving again and spell work for both Freyja and Odin sometimes Thor as well.
As a mother, I have given breastmilk as an offering to Frigg before.
That sounds amazing
Ok but I still maintain that I can build a temple to the gods in Minecraft. After all... Consider it my planning stage. ;) Lol Fantastic video Jacob! You have really nailed down offerings and were quite through. 👏 Also Kentucky really is beautiful and thank you for taking us out in it.
As a veteran of the US Infantry, I am drawn more heavily towards the warrior culture of this faith, and as such I venerate Odin more than anyone (though this is also from a wisdom and learning perspective as well), and feel a connection with Thor and, recently, Tyr. I usually provide fresh fruits and either mead or whiskey to the Gods, and follow their examples as much as I can. I plan on making a ritual of carving Teiwaz into the stock of my rifle and sharpening my knives and axe for the three of them. Hope this helps fellow veterans find their way in this faith!
Freyr blessed me
Well, after I end the ritual I just let the offering there for like an hour or so then I eat it.
I mean, they ain't gonna make it "desapear" so i might just have to do it lol
And I never feel like they're angry at me by doing so.
For me whats really important on an offering is the intention you put on it rather then what you end up doing with it after the ritual's over.
Ive found crafting a blow horn was a nice way to connect to Heimdal
And mistletoe for Baldr
Awesome video!
perfect timing, i'm about to go give Óðinn an offerinh but i don't know what to give!
Anything!
As long as your heart is in the right place and not full of selfish deceit, Odin will even accept a bowl of soup and crackers. A god would rather have a poor gift given from the heart than an expensive one only meant to flatter.
15:50, You say you don't honor or venerate, but how do you deal with him while giving to Óðinn? From Lokasenna, we know that Loki is always automatically invited to drink as well when Óðinn has a drink. So if you give Óðinn an offering, Loki is there as well.
I feed the birds outside.
Hi Jacob! What deity can help with money or prosperity? :D I'll patronite you if I'll have a bit more money. Greeting and skoll! :D
PS: I dance with nunchaku and always before offering I dance like 3-4 minutes to song about Deity. It only easy look, but belive me nunchaku make muscles of arms stronger and tired it.
As a norse pagan i love autumn but winter is my favorite season
Might I be mistaked or the translation is wrong but I remember that Odinn only drinks wine
I've felt a calling to paganism for a while now. But only just accepted the fact i am. And after accepting the fact I am pagan I had the must satisfying, tasty meal I've had for a while. So I sat down and thanked the allfarther for the very first time in my life. And I felt warm and happy 😊
Jacob, I thought you knew - EVERY week is Odin week...
How do you feel about burning things like small effigies, and incense like Nag Champa and frankincense?as offerings?
So I can worship Odin without being in the military or warrior like?
when leaving offering that involve drinks, do you pour them out or leave them to sit alone?
When making these offerings do you have to burn them or just place them on the alter? I’m brand new on this journey and want to please my gods. I failed to join them in Valhalla when I was in the military so now I want to honor them properly
What about planting a tree or shrub for a or offering
Great Video ! Skoll the Sun Chaser is recently reaching out to me but i can't find much about offerings for him ...does anyone have any Suggestion ?
Still not sure how to do this. Do I make an offering of food and beer and what, just leave it outside?. Im trying to find my path so take a little pity on me.
Tbh I just gave Andhrimnir a blend of cooking spices
I have been wanting to build a connection with him, definitely not a much talked about being in the norse mythos.
Ive also given sweets to Loki, it didn't go bad for me at least lol
Whiskey 🥃 poems 📝 writings to read out. Fruits nut 🌰 special offerings from a spring, handmade items.
i wanted to know how do i go about offerings do i do them all at once or each of them at their own time as well as when do i make such offerings?
Thank you anything helps
It’s been sad that you’re not supposed to drink after Odin, Does that mean you cannot drink out of the same bottle, You’re not supposed to offer them alcohol till you’re done drinking, Or you’re not supposed to drink out of the same glass?
Has anyone any ideas on Mimir, or another deity of Wisdom and knowledge, for upcoming exams?
Interesting Idea for Thor...Combination of Booze & Brotherhood: Shot Ski.
Jacob i'm a new pagan and I give offerings to freyja every friday. I know she is there from the many hawks I see flying around every friday. but it seems no matter how many times I give her gifts and ask for her for help and guidance she doesn't ever seem to be with me in my life becide fridays. how do I change this relationship with her?
You’re missing some really key things lol…… I’m sure you can’t mention them on UA-cam.
however a lot of your ideas are great.
Keep at this man, they will keep steering you.
Best advice I can give is try to view your ideas on “what would they have liked during their cultural time period”
Like brass, gold, sheep wool.
Instead of say, roses….
But good stuff man! Keep it up.
I have a friend who honors Loki because he is an amateur comedian. I know he writes jokes for Loki but as far as physical items I've only ever seen him give mead. I might have to tell him about your Tequila idea, it does sound like it would fit!
Im not very good with carpentry. Would the gods mind if I bought an alter and statues?
I have bought most of my altar pieces, the rest were gifts. In fact my altar table is from ikea!
Thank you!
Vidar wants--needs even--your strips of leather.
Dedicate your workouts to him.
Excuse me I had an altar out in the woods nothing was destroyed but all of my offerings were gone is that a sign that the gods took it or did someone take it I want to believe it was a gods but I don't want to be mistaken and just put other stuff out there for people to take
Could thought, for thor you could collect rainwater for him.
If I offer food and drinks to my deities the way I would get rid of it after it's offered is to consume it instead of wasting it
.
Do you ever use a scrying mirror?🇺🇲🖤🇺🇲
Can you give me your opinion on giving them incense as offerings? I've read that they are good offerings and then again, I've read that they aren't?
4:20 for Freyja
....Could somebody give Tyr...a hand?
This might sound odd but I'm Lesbian and hope to find love. Can I still follow Freya and buy her romantic stuff or will be think that's strange?
