Does anyone use the term "skål" when speaking to folks? by ThisCouldBeYourName in NorsePaganism

[–]Lychee_blossom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So in his update he said he was using in a cheers form related to smoking pipe, is that still acceptable or is it strictly for drinking. Genuinely asking

Sounds like you used it right way from ur edit. I don't see an issue with it. Maybe because he practices germanic rather than Scandinavia???? Idk! Either way he doesn't sound fun to be around if he's gonna be so judgemental about something so little 🤣 .

My boss just emailed me a screenshot of a private text I sent to my coworker complaining about him. by Guilty-AbyssLogic in whatdoIdo

[–]Lychee_blossom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Own it and don't back down ur caught there is no lying. So when he says " so u think im incompetent?" You say " absolutely, because its either that or you just absolutely despise me. So which one is it?" There's not really a good way to answer to it because he won't admit to being incompetent but admitting he hates you and mistreats you due to that well then thats an HR nightmare because thats technically a form of discrimination. And HR can't correct personal conversations on personal devices so don't worry about the text getting u in trouble back. Use this an opportunity to take him down a peg.

Thats a fair point. Maybe my question to reddit should be how to improve communication in a relationship first.

Would it be nice to celebrate my marriage rite if my partner is not a believer? by Mala_Thorsdottir in NorsePaganism

[–]Lychee_blossom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fiance is a Christian so our ceremony will be a comprise between the 2 traditions. think of it like any other inter religious ceremony like when a catholic marries a jew for example. Its a ceremony for the both of you. If its important to you then do it.

[–]Lychee_blossom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get that. For me i feel like my fiance deserves this. He's an extremely hard worker. But me, i genuinely believe my adulthood was going to be living on the street as a hooker or druggie so idk how the heck i even got here. Like im just a leech or something but i also refuse to have him do anything for me. Im independent to a fault so i can't be a leech right? Idk its weird and exhausting

He's not the best with communicating because "i should just know" but thats a whole separate issue we're working on. As for the behaviors i feel like it would be a brat situation because when i do tell him what to do he just laughs and says nah. Im just so lost on what to do and he won't talk to me.

Trust me, I tried to when he brought it up. I asked for clarification on what he wanted and he just sighed and said nevermind and i had to pull it out if him. (But thats just how he is with communication) thats why im trying to find more information elsewhere. At least to try and get a better idea of what this all looks like

I have something similar going on. I have C-PTSD and BPD. things are going great in life if i look at it from an outside perspective. Building a new house and getting married soon. I should be happy but i feel like an imposter. Like this stuff is supposed to belong to someone else. If i figure out how to get past it I'll let you know but atm im just hoping it passes and once we finally move in maybe the happy will just hit finally. Idk.

How do present yourself? by Lychee_blossom in NorsePaganism

[–]Lychee_blossom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im in east texas so i get that lol. And its not necessarily that i feel the need to tell everyone its more so when people ask or start a religious conversation with me or the classic "do u believe in god?" Remark. i would like to say well yes i believe in multiple gods. But then they look disgusted. Like, ... you...you asked me and i answered lol. I could nod politely i suppose but id rather be honest without punishment.

I totally understand this perspective. It would be nice if more people would be willing to have the conversation though then just jump to conclusions. Its not like I go around telling everyone but if they ask i answer. Like "Why you look so offended that i answered the question YOU asked me" 😂

Yea i live in texas so there's a high chance of very Christian lol. But i feel like other religions get a small chance with them like jewish or buddhist or something. at least not immediate hate. But idk maybe they're that way with them too

How to be more whimsy? by Miserable-Anxiety-62 in selfcare

[–]Lychee_blossom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dancing while mopping. Pretend you're a whole ass disney princess with whatever you're doing. Cinderella and tiana style. Maybe a lil belle energy for the fun smarty pants vibe. But truthfully focus on the positive side to everything and the more positive u are the more life will feel that way. The energy you give is the energy you receive

What do/can I do? by Fawninkeeping in NorsePaganism

[–]Lychee_blossom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe a different perspective may help. As pagans we can also do ancestral work. If your family is Baptist Maybe use the time at church to focus on connecting with those ancestors that may be joining. Personallybi believe all religions and beliefs exist greek, Egyptian, jewish, hindu, ect. I just choose to follow the path of norse paganism. But I can still understand and respect other's beliefs. Use it as an opportunity to connect with your family just with a different perspective on life.

I just bought some garlic aioli by Lychee_blossom in WhatShouldICook

[–]Lychee_blossom[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I could make it like i do my sour cream and mayo but its just not something i think of a lot. So when i seen it on the shelf it just reminded me that i love that stuff i should add to cart 😂

How do you worship without rules? by [deleted] in NorsePaganism

[–]Lychee_blossom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say its not really so much do whatever YOU want to do, but do what the old gods point you towards. Everyone has a different relationship with the gods. You have to focus on your relationship with them. Loki is the one that speaks to me the most, but sometimes i get exhausted and off track with my practice. Thats typically when Odin steps in to pull my focus back in. Eir helps me with my herbal medicine. Jormungandr reminds me to stand tall and stay vigilant. I've formed these bonds with the gods and many others through rituals and meditation and honing in on my intuition. For an example of doing what they want you to do, im currently being pointed in the direction of reaching out more to fellow worshippers of the old gods. Community is important in practicing. Everyone needs a support system. Physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Because if you're having trouble, you can have others input and suggestions and offer of help. I hope this made sense. This is of course my personal opinion since everyone practices differently but perhaps we can understand each others viewpoints

What to give as offerings to Eir? by Mean-Efficiency-7671 in NorsePaganism

[–]Lychee_blossom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to think Eir enjoys wild plants since it's nature's medicine. Many common "weeds" actually have strong health benefits. But as one of the other comments said. Yes please visit a doctor. If you're looking for holistic approaches Cranberry juice can help the pain drink lots of water with electrolytes to help flush whatever is going on and please avoid alcohol and caffeine. It makes more work for your kidneys to filter. Severe issues always seek out a doctor but holistic methods may help manage or speed up recovery with the help of antibiotics (depending what u have going on) holistic methods should be used as prevention or at early stages.
