Does anyone know how to give supplication toward the goddess Eir (or if there is another god / goddess I should be giving to please let me know)? My father has some medical things going on, and I would love to give sacrifices, but am unsure what is appropriate.
Hello! I was looking to get cool norse earrings and I saw these. I cant read Runes though and Im quite new to Heathenry! If someone could translate this for me so I'd know if I'd want to wear them I'd appreciate it!! Thank you!
Hello everyone! In the past month I have been considering looking into practicing the Norse beliefs as I have always been a fairly spiritual person, but within said past month I had been noticing an increasing amount of Corvids (can't tell if they're Ravens or Crows as they're usually out of site but I hear them) and an infatuation with learning Eldar and Younger Futhark. I dont know of any local Norse practitioners around where I live, but a long time internet friend has been one since we've known each other. Would you guys have advice on beginner daily practices and seeking out expierenced practitioners without joining any sketchy groups/spotting red flags for my safety while also looking for resources/books to learn more before practicing incorrectly? All advice will be taken with extreme consideration and respect!
I want a custom spell work, and recommendations?
Or should I just try to pray to the gods and goddesses first?
I don’t see there’s much professional practitioner on the internet offering spell work?(I mean in Norse paganism way)
Thanks for helping
Is it safe from the folkish/alt-right bs that infests paganism?
Hey, I'm a Norse pagan myself but I'm coming up blank on ideas for him. I know he has the eddas and rudiments of runelore.
I'm struggling to come up with ideas and I definitely want to get him something related to the faith considering we both practice it.
Any ideas?
Does anyone know how I can carve runes into this without damaging the skull to much?
Hey there! I’m a Hel Pol, I have a friend who works with Loki, Thor, Odin, and a few other Norse Gods/Goddesses. They want to know the best place to start with runes? I hope this is the right subreddit for this. Any help is appreciated.
Good morning fellow Pagans! I had a bit of a weird question.
For some background; I do not worship lord Odin (no hate for those who do) but worship Lady Freyja and visit quite frequently. I had a meeting with Lord Odin where Lady Freyja accompanied me. (I won’t divulge details as it was a very personal experience)
So as of late I have noticed a lot of Ravens being around where I am. (A lot of crows as well but I think they kinda just hand around ravens lol) and have heard, when meeting Lady Freyja, the same kind of signal (I guess) for when Lord Odin wanted to have a meeting.
My question is why would Lord Odin want to observe me? Personally I don’t think I am that interesting of a human (lol) but maybe it has something to do with my worship of Lady Freyja?
Anyway thank you in advance!
This project has been on the backlog a bit too long and I finally decided to give it a try. This is just a read-only version for now, although you can click on the "Year" view and Print or save on your device as a PDF. It has both Northern & Southern hemisphere options. The next step would be to work on developing this as a smartphone app.

Well, let's just say I don't have a good time at school. My friends are awful to me, I suffer from a disorder I'd rather not talk about, and I also don't know how to set boundaries. I'm alone, but Loki always comforts me, even though I never ask him to. That's because I work with him. At first, I was devoted to him, but he asked me to work with him. Since I'm a minor, I feel like he treats me like his daughter. He's like the father I never had, and I say that with all my heart. Here's the thing when I intentionally skip school, "bad" things happen at my school. (I should clarify that I only started working with him a few days ago.)
The first time I skipped school because I felt terrible mentally (I lied and said I was sick), and I also pretended I'd forgotten my backpack, which I actually did. Well, I skipped school, and right then, they started evacuating because smoke was coming out, like something was on fire. They couldn't figure out where it came from. I thought it was a coincidence, but it wasn't the only time.
The second time I was absent, I felt the same or worse, I don't really remember. There was a drill because something else caught fire. I didn't know exactly what it was. It seemed strange to me because they never found anyone, and it was always reported as an accident, but nobody did anything about it.
The third time, which is when I started working with him, I had heatstroke yesterday and also a depressive episode. So I decided to be absent, even though I don't like to be absent much, but sometimes I need to. What happened this time was that the cables caught fire one by one, and everyone evacuated. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but it feels like he's comforting me. I want to emphasize that these were unintentional incidents, they happened on their own, and in all of them, I never witnessed the danger because I was absent. What do you think?
Hello, I just converted to Norse Paganism, and I need help with it because this is all very new to me. Could anyone please give me advice regarding it and how to practice in my very Christian household?
I don’t know much about him. I asked a reader what god I align with and she said one that deals with balance and mind logical thinking. Forseti sounds like a good fit.
So I had been hearing of FolkReams, and despite being cautious because it is created by Danheim, and the name I decided to sign up for an account.
Umm yeah my fears have been confirmed, it is full of european-essentialist folkist people, references to odinism, etc... And because there is no algorithm, that stuff just pops to the top of your feed.
Stuff like:
"Our ancestral culture and customs are revived, and morality and order are being restored.
Reciprocity with our mighty Gods is once again beginning to take hold. The warriors of old dance with their descendants beside the fires, and our Männerbund remembers their power! The children of Europe once again have a home!
No more alien influence!
No more will we bend or accept morality that is inferior to our people. We will hold our standards high and we WILL conquer modernity as one people, united in purpose! . .. Together, we will reclaim our people's birthright, ripping our fates from the jaws of the wolf, and planting our Nation's flags of victory everywhere the sun touches!!
and
"Just a quick reminder to all the European Pagans, our heritage is under attack by woke morons in hollyweird, especially those of Hellenistic stock/culture.
Black Helen of Troy.
Ellen Page as Achilles.
Some nobody black rapper as a "bard" telling some of the story.
Zendaya as Athena.
This... disgusting destruction of Western Society and Heritage must be called out, boycotted, and mocked as the filth it is.
REMEMBER YOUR HERITAGE, WESTERN EUROPEANS!"
So I guess beware....
I'm finishing up a course that introduced me to some literature written by Indigenous Americans, and one of the things we looked at was a graphic novel about a being called the Deer Woman.
It's a legend among the tribes in the Great Plains like the Lakota, and it has several variations, but the basic story is that a woman who has been mistreated by men will transform into a deer-like creature and stampede the offender to death with her hooves. It's basically a cautionary tale for men and boys to treat people right, or face retribution by the spirits.
My professor said there were similar stories in a few cultures, and it got me wondering if there was something similar in the Poetic Edda or a deity who makes it their business.
I am a little tight on space, so my altars are altoid containers. Does this matter?
heyyy yall umm question I just make an initial offering candle to freyja anyone have an idea if this is her being happy about it or otherwise? would love any info/help
Have no one to tell this, so, hey! I've been reading a book that focuses on the meaning of runes, but it's more like a Norse Paganism 101. It seems to be very objective and we'll researched! That's why I found it bizarre when the author started adding her personal view on certain issues, under the guise of "this is a special interpretation of this rune only for women xoxo"
Like complaining that women nowadays behave in typically masculine ways (I'm not even sure what she meant by that one; that women should be dainty, I guess) or that women shouldn't artificially interrupt their menstruation just because it's convenient, because you shouldn't interfere with natural cycles, etc etc (not sure what the general consensus on that one is, but to me it's giving terf and a lack of understanding that it's kinda bad to be in more pain than usual and wearing a diaper for a third of every month).
Would appreciate opinions and if this is normal or I just so happened to pick a book by a crazy author 😭
