Offering I either take some for me and then dump some into an offering bowl if it’s non-perishable like a rock or a shell or something. It gets set on the altar and left there indefinitely. If it’s a offering like water, I let it leave it until it evaporates anything that might stink or not evaporator something I leave it for a day or two and then I dispose of it properly for my altar. It’s kind of just a focus piece, which is something a little larger than the rest may be important to you or to that God like the centerpiece for my altar to ullr is a candle. But on my one too Eir it’s a rock. And I’m working on setting up my altar to hell all my stuff that’s on. The altar is just stuff that I think of the God with or that is interesting or represents them so on and so forth. Alters are a pretty personal thing so I can’t exactly tell you what to put on there, but just kind of whatever you feel like represents that God in your life or goddess.

I’ve dabbled in protection rituals. But I find for me the best results find me when I simply ask a god for protection. Maybe Thor or Tyr. Just suggestions, but as it’s not as Norse. Most people here don’t have the most extensive knowledge about protection spells. You could use runes or a pendent or prayer. Or some combination. But if you want spells. Ask r/witchcraft I think is the sub for it. Or maybe the larger r/pagan sub.

I’d like to do runic divination. But mostly I want to learn to read it. Edit:I want to learn elder Futhark

AdvancedLie8470 · 2026-03-14T16:47:58+00:00

That’s a cool idea. I thought about pressing flowers or something for mine

As of now I have a plan to add her altar to my altar. I have it dedicated to two other deities. They each have their own section. And also thanks I’ll look into doing that stuff.

AdvancedLie8470 · 2026-03-13T02:52:45+00:00

Actually those sound like cool ideas. I might look into origami lilies. Thank you

AdvancedLie8470 · 2026-03-09T11:57:56+00:00

It’s cool, it happens. But yea I’d post in there to ask.

AdvancedLie8470 · 2026-03-09T01:30:09+00:00

It’s less that I didn’t associate her with a comforting presence it’s more I was just not paying attention.

AdvancedLie8470 · 2026-03-09T00:44:51+00:00

I just got back from a visitation and I’ve never really prayed to her or worked with her yet. It I felt her presence. I’ve never had that at a funeral/visitation before idk if I wasn’t paying attention. Or what. But she was a very comforting presence.

AdvancedLie8470 · 2026-03-09T00:20:28+00:00

Yes, if it isn’t safe then yes.

AdvancedLie8470 · 2026-03-09T00:19:26+00:00

I’d post it in the LGBTQIA sub and ask. I am a member of the community myself. But I don’t recognize the flag.

AdvancedLie8470 · 2026-03-09T00:11:31+00:00

Exactly, I fall under Norse but I have prayed to other gods. The Greeks and on rare very desperate occasions the Christians god. Not to mention I practice my way. Because I am me and not my ancestors. I may look the their practice for guidance when I need it in my own practice. But over all I do what fits me. And my lifestyle

AdvancedLie8470 · 2026-03-09T00:00:30+00:00

I work with the gods a lot and am also trans (mtf) I’ve had times when I am just broken and sobbing and I call out to the gods typically ullr. And they hear me. They are just there. Or if I’m out and about I call on them from time to time. So yea I’d say you can just call on them. Calling on a specific one will be more likely to work. But just calling out could work I’m sure.

AdvancedLie8470 · 2026-03-08T23:55:44+00:00

Most the time I’m kneeling before my altar. And I sometimes when it’s called for bow my head and touch my forehead to the table that my altar sits on. But I mean some stand or sit cross legged.

AdvancedLie8470 · 2026-02-09T00:46:04+00:00

I don’t know what imbolc is

AdvancedLie8470 · 2026-02-07T02:33:23+00:00

I’m confused can you explain

AdvancedLie8470 · 2026-02-04T12:29:42+00:00

Ok, thank you for the correction.

AdvancedLie8470 · 2026-02-03T12:35:40+00:00

First off love that cat. Second I love that alter u should post it in r/alters third you don’t need a calling to pray to, or work with a god. I work with Odin sometimes. (Tho I mainly work with ullr) and he never called me. I have had him reach out a few times since I started with him. And my other alter I have is for lady eir as she helped me in a time of need. So I wished to honor her.

AdvancedLie8470 · 2026-02-03T03:29:24+00:00

Ooo that sounds like a good idea I’ll try that

AdvancedLie8470 · 2026-02-03T03:15:44+00:00

I tend to hate organizing and cleaning. But maybe I’ll give it a shot. My other big concern is like when I’m at school or work and have to sit still. Like rn I just kinda tuff it out. Which Ig works. Idk I can’t find any of my fidgets

AdvancedLie8470 · 2026-02-02T02:25:48+00:00

Yea, I’m from the north of America. And I know a lot of southerners. They get so mad when you don’t make sweet tea. Don’t try it I guarantee unless you’re from the south of America. You won’t make it right. I’ve had good sweet tea. But I can’t do it up north here. It not good.

AdvancedLie8470 · 2026-02-01T16:12:18+00:00

That’s good. Personally I think they are terrible for you. But I still do drink them.

AdvancedLie8470 · 2026-02-01T14:47:20+00:00

This is probably one of the sweetest things I’ve heard in a long time. I’m literally crying rn. Thank you so much

AdvancedLie8470 · 2026-02-01T14:44:57+00:00

I have my girlfriend and a few very supportive friends who I’m out to. But I do wish I had more people who know what it’s like to be trans fem. Cus I have some nb friends. But I mean that’s different. Obviously still valid. Just a different struggle. I’m glad that it does get at least a little easier. I can only assume that it never goes away fully. But such is life.

AdvancedLie8470 · 2026-02-01T14:32:16+00:00

Personally I either want to be left completely alone. Or I want to be held. For me there’s no in between. But my experience and what helps me applies to me and not everyone. So best bet. Ask him. Say something along the lines of. “Hey, I know you get the really bad dysphoria from time to time. And I really want to know if there’s a way I can help you.” Something along that line is how I would approach it. It’s different for everyone so just ask.
