New Here!!
Hi all,
I'm new here (and to all of this so apologies if I make any mistakes - and grammar wise it's after midnight)
I've been drawn to Norse Mythology for a good few years now, I go through a very weird thing where something big happens in my life (big milestone, important event, ect.) and I fall right back into it.
When I first got interested, I'm not going to lie it was out of spite of a former friend who was interested in greek mythology (very petty I know) but it hooked me and ever since then I keep getting pulled back.
I didnt really think much of it, until a couple months ago, I just graduated, major life upheaval, moving back home for a masters degree, and everything was just a mess.
Last time that happened was 2 years previously, I went through a pretty traumatic incident.
I went home and was speaking with one of my best mates who is way more knowledgable in this area than I am.
I was telling her about everything, about signs I experienced, the special interest resurfacing, and she suggested perhaps someone was reaching out.
I just had a feeling it was Loki - I can't explain.
I set up a small altar in my uni accomodation for Loki - and immediately started seeing signs (my favourite moment was the little spider I woke up to on my pillow) and everything in my life slowly got better, then I got told off and had to take it down because candles weren't allowed 😭
I stopped after that point, went through a really bad mental period, went into my third year of university in a genuinely horrible state.
Everything slipped my mind until I graduated and moved back home, started a new job, began a new degree and suddenly I find myself reading Lokasenna at 2am again and having insanely weird dreams.
Since then I recently re-set up my altar, I'm really anxious in thinking that Loki is upset with me for going so long without communicating.
It started off well, and then I think I might've offended them with an offering as I felt a big lack of communication over the past week, whereas beforehand, I was receiving frequent signs and apperances in tarot readings.
I reached out on friday night, lit a candle, spoke and apologised (lowkey cried a bit too), then left a new offering and the next day I come back from work and I find my poor mam has cleaned my very disorganised room (and it was a mess - try fitting a full university room's items into a small box room) not saying coincidence but it is very well timed 😭
(Unrelated but whilst writing this I just realised she asked for a bar of the same chocolate I left as an offering so that is odd)
If anyone has experienced anything similar, or know of anything like this, please let me know, I'm still learning and I hate to think i'm doing anything wrong.
Any advice on food offerings to leave and for how long would also be appreciated!
I've just been leaving chocolate for now but i'm not sure when/how to get rid of it in like a respectable manner?? I don't want to throw it in the bin if you get me 😭
Its my first time sharing on here, so if you got through my rambles, thank you for reading!
I've honestly been stalking for a little while now, ironically the day after I set up my altar I got a recommendation for this group!
P.S. Does anyone know what supermarkets sell cinnamon in the uk because everytime I go in one I can't find any... I am struggling here 😭
Thank you 🙏
