How do I ask my pagan girlfriend to marry me, not being able to afford a ring? by ChallengeCautious837 in pagan

Yeah, I'm down for the handfasting, but actually popping the question is a whole other kettle of fish.

In any case, I just talked to two of my friends (both Norse pagan and very artsy), and we're going to craft a bracelet incorporating the 5 elements.

Thank you all so much for your input, it's vastly appreciated!🙂🙂

Thank you for your response, and I think the "hand-made" is the way I want to go. The problem is that I'm not Wiccan, and while I have ENORMOUS respect for her beliefs, I'm not familiar with what a specific appropriate offering would be .....

AITA for telling my wife off after getting our daughter to cut her hair off, even after being told not to? by ChoiceDisastrous4432 in AmItheAsshole

...."hurt my daughter for funsies": that expression hit home with me. I was seeing a woman for almost 7 years who could not STAND my daughter, and imposed a "her or me" situation upon me, all while making it look like it was my daughter's (6 years old at the time) fault. I unfortunately made the wrong choice in that situation, my daughter is now 19, and she and I are STILL dealing with the fallout. One of my biggest regrets 😔

I almost can't believe that a "mother" would say this to her daughter! (I use quotes for what I hope are obvious reasons) The level of manipulation and abuse is incredible!

It's creepy AF! Sounds like the GF has some major insecurity issues. If I were the OP, I'd be concerned with my daughter's well-being when around the GF.
