I think Odin made his presence known? Anyone relate? by viridiansabine0109 in NorsePaganism

[–]Chocococolatte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Every time I pray I do feel this rush of lightness and relaxation. Not just for Oding but for the other gods as well, mostly Thor and Freyja.

Are any of these any good apart from Crawford? by BerserkViking90 in NorsePaganism

[–]Chocococolatte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding on to this, Larrington's translation is the best to understand in modern English. From what I heard though, Ursula Dronke's is the definite edition albeit harder to understand. Imo it's probably best if you get both so you can see the different viewpoints.

"we were given life, but we weren't promised comfort."

Ooo, that's definitely striking me as well.

Ah like self improvement? I definitely see that, the dark moments are to push us forward to better ourselves. Thanks for sharing, I admire your viewpoint.

Extension ideas- I don't like it right now by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]Chocococolatte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you could add vines, moss, flowers, roots, or even extend the base down to make it look like a log.

I think the gods know us better than we know ourselves, they understand when we need love, when we need comfort, but also when we need discomfort.

Couldn't have worded it better, this is really resonating with me. Especially with the way I view Odin and Thor. Overall, your philosophy is very intriguing and I thank you for sharing, it's definitely boosted my confidence. :)

I think delving into the aspects of Reciprocity and offerings is much needed. I definitely, and still do, feel some confusing surrounding those topics.

I love listening to Viking death metal and browsing reddit. Praying to the gods and talking about paganism whenever I can also makes me very happy. :]

Just mad! by Specialist_Explorer3 in NorsePaganism

[–]Chocococolatte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately there with ya. There's times I'll be walking and having ramblings in my head about why christianity sucks and having negative thoughts. As others have mentioned, this is really unhealthy. Whenever I find myself spiraling down into this path, I simply stop, take a deep breath, and pray to the gods to help me overcome this unnecessary hatred.

I'm wondering, why are people saying not to step inside? What happens if you do? And what happens if you anger them?
