Correction on Fenrir lead to a ban

Someone asked about getting a better connection with Fenrir in the Norse Paganism sub and claimed fenrir is evil and burns the world, kills humanity and is locked away to protect humanity. I corrected this as in the eddas it is very clear that Fenrir is not the one who sets fire to the world, is never called a threat to humanity, and was locked away because of the prophecy of him swallowing Odin. This led to me being told I don't know the eddas and that I need an introduction to Norse mythology and that the gods being not completely good or evil is wrong and not how the old Norse viewed the gods. This spiraled with me constantly correcting the person as they were only going off the prose edda. I told them this is a bad methodology to learn the old stories and properly understand the material as it was written by snori and is a retelling of the source material and has exaggerated text. That you always cross reference with the primary source in this case with the poetic edda.

My question is am I missing something? How do you get through to people who ignore all the grey in the eddas and proclaim the gods are shining good and Loki is the devil. Are my corrections incorrect?

Not sure if the product is bad, too niche, or if my description are bad

I sell pagan art and altar products and I think everything looks better than most of the things I see on Etsy but I get no views.

The price is $40 and this has been up for two weeks with zero views. These are runes made from fallen branches, hand burned and hand painted.

I have been crafting Thor stuff all month.

I just finished the war club. As a father and protector I look to Thor often and try to remember what being a man is

mind body spirit bindrune.

A bindrune I have used for years. I used crushed milky quartz around the outside because it has iron deposits in it to keep mischief away.

Just a few things I have gotten done since midsummer.

Idunn has given me the ability to create and I have taken advantage of that. Since midsummer I have been working non-stop. These are just a few projects I have completed. The rest are up on my Etsy page. I have done several Fylgja Stones on hand foraged river stone, alter plaques, bind runes, and rune sets.

Does anyone else connect with the gods by crafting?

Simple question really. I spend most of my Friday nights wood burning runes or etching animal stones . As someone with ADHD I find it hard to connect fully with the gods through kindreds or ritual but find the super hyper focus of rune making allows me to sit and really think about the gods.
