I know veiling isn't necessarily traditional to Norse polytheism, but I felt like it was a good offering for him since I didn't have any physical ones on hand. I go to a public high school in a pretty... "monotheistic" part of my southern state, so I was a bit nervous at first, but so far it's been great! No one's really questioned it, most people just don't really notice. It's a crocheted bandanna I made a while back (I have one for Lord Eros, too (I'm an eclectic polytheist)) so it could just look like a typical accessory to most people. The thing I was most worried about was that a staff member would see it and tell me to take it off, since I guess it could technically be considered a hat, but that hasn't happened either. So far today, I've found something on the ground I'm going to use to make a necklace, and a book on Norse mythology was returned to the library when I went in to look for a book, so I got to check that out too! I've also felt something all day, I'm not very good with energies and I don't have any clair-senses (yet!), but I've felt a strong, playful energy with me all day, so I think it might be him. I think he liked my offering! I love working with a trickster god, I never really know what'll happen next and I'm pretty impulsive so I like to go with it. (as long as it's nothing bad, which I don't really have happen to me very often, at least not from Lord Loki.) Another offering I made a while back is that I gave him the first bite of my Chipotle quesadilla and he surprisingly seemed to enjoy it. </p> <p> </p> <p> Unrelated, but I also gave Lord Apollo the first bite of my Nature Valley Wafer bar this morning and asked for energy, and when I got to school I found out my school sells iced coffee in the mornings and I got to buy one. When I get home I'm probably going to make a love spell jar for my partner and dedicate it to Lord Eros as well, so I'm pretty excited! </p> </article> <article> <h1>Things I've done for protection.</h1> <p>Wed, 14 May 2025 16:25:18 +0000</p> <p> So, I've been doing a lot of research on protection, since I hear that it's really important, and these are a few things I've done. </p> <p> </p> <p> 1. I made this thingy, I'm not sure if it counts as a ward, but I hung it up above my bed to protect me while I sleep. I took part of a paper towel roll (The cardboard part) and sealed one end of it. Then I put some stuff in it that are associated with protection- eggshells, salt, and herbs. (for the herbs I just used Italian seasoning since it has sage, rosemary, thyme, and a bunch of other herbs I've heard help with protection.) Then I closed the other end, and tied a red string around it to make it hang. </p> <p> </p> <p> 2. I cleanse my space a lot. I try to do it every Sunday, and I use this tiny broom I made out of a rose stem and pink string. I open my window and sweep all the negative emotions out of my room. (I'm not allowed to do it to the rest of the house, since my parents aren't exactly supportive of my practices) </p> <p> </p> <p> 3. I put salt at my door. I usually do this after cleansing, and I scatter a bit of Himalayan pink salt at my door. </p> <p> </p> <p> Are these good forms of protection? I'm still new, so any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you! <span><span class="ipsEmoji">😄</span></span> </p> </article> </main></body></html>
