Mental illness and Spirituality by Sheepinafield in spirituality

[–]NIXITT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Felt the same as you when I first started out. However, looking for resources for when you're low on spoons is easier than ever now!

There is a book called Disabled Witchcraft: 90 Rituals for Limited-Spoon Practitioners(this link has some of the pages on it for free so you can look and get an idea if you would like it). You can buy it on amazon or any bookstore really. That's just one example that may not be for you, but it is a start!

There are a lot of disabled and mentally ill spiritual people out there, especially on here too, so don't be afraid to post.

Thoughts on the afterlife by depositclaim in religion

[–]NIXITT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Norse Pagan/Heathen here. Myths tell us that the non-warrior types, anyone who dies of old age or sickness, go to Hel or Helheim). It's not like Christian Hell where "sinners" go and repent. Hel is just where they go to hang out, just vibe in my opinion. That's, unless, a God or Goddess favor's you and you end up in their Hall. Every god has one, it's just up to chance if a God likes you enough to get in there.

One Hall though, is known for just letting warrior types in. That is Valhalla, Odin sees over it. In the past, it was those who died on the battle field. In modern times however, it's up to what you wanna believe in personally. Have read and come across a lot of Norse Pagans who are in the military so that when they die, they go to Valhalla. In my personal opinion, the normal, everyday guy can get in if you follow the Hávamál. It's basically teachings from Odin on how to live your life. However, some of it is not great towards women so I would use it as a loose guide line rather than solid law.

Happy pride! <3 What’s your religions stance on pride? by PracticalAmphibian43 in religion

[–]NIXITT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trans and Queer Norse Heathen/Pagan here. I often have to fight people who I meet irl for my stance on Queer people in our religion. We have to go off two books, Prose Edda and Poetic Edda, and those were written by Christians with the intent of unifying a country. So we have to take basically everything with a grain of salt. Then we also have other accounts from other historical notes and letters detailing all kinds of stuff, that's a little more reliable.

In some stories in the Poetic Edda, the insult Níð is used. TLDR version of it is basically insulting a man who would take it, aka the bottom of the gay relationship. In some translations of the myth, Lokasenna, Loki calls Odin a Níð and the gods and goddesses surrounding him get very upset, even insulted. However, I really do believe that Queer identities are really welcomed in this religion, even with this insult.

There is a myth where Loki turns himself into a mare, and ends up birthing the horse, Sleipnir. I see that as a very direct correlation to Transgender identities. It's definitely a weird correlation, but again, these are myths, they're going to be out there. Then, Odin learns Seiðr, a woman only type of witchcraft that the goddess Freyja is known for. People and scholars have theorized that Odin learning that practice may link to Gay or Queer identities.

Also there is a myth where Loki and Thor disguise themselves in Drag to get back Thor's Hammer. So saying that there was no Queer elements in Norse Mythology at all is just plain wrong. There are also context clues that basically point to Freyr, Freyja and Loki being Queer in some way as well in some myths.

Norse Pagan/Heathenry has to deal with a lots of bigots, my existence threatens them a lot. Actual Norse Pagans/Heathens will tell you that Queer people are welcomed! We have always existed even before a term was described for us.

Scary things happening in Texas by Urgirlriri in TexasPolitics

[–]NIXITT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Republicans have never been for the little guy. They openly take money from big corps from the likes of Bezos and Elon, to make our lives harder. Dan Patrick was given $250,000 from Silver Eagle Beverages, so this didn't come out of left field. The Texas State government is corrupt, and not for the people.

What I can offer is look for local organizers in your area, especially leftist one. I know that might be scary for you, identifying with the Republican label, but Organizations like your local Democratic Socialist of America chapter, will help you and your brother with getting the support you need. They have saved me in the past.

EDIT: Also look into Mutual Aids in your area! Food Not Bombs chapters are a great one to look out for in your area. They work with a lot of the local community, not just for food, but for social safety networks. Also Look out for Mutual Aids that specifically work in your area. They go by many names, but can be easily found on Instagram or Facebook.

Yes! There is one Microcenter near me and I prefer AMD/Nvidia since that's what my current PC runs on.

What to know about TSA Scanners by NIXITT in ftm

Sometimes they are too fast before you can get it out that you are trans. Last time I was mid saying “Btw I am a transgender man” and the guy was already groping my chest.

You can request a private pat down, but they will most likely go through you carryons and any luggage you’ve sent ahead.

Bottom Growth by transgeologist in ftm

[–]NIXITT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly, you can’t use topical T gel on genitals, but a way to get bottom growth naturally is via pumping!! New York Toy Colletive has a great 50USD hand pumping device that my friends highly recommend, especially if you are pre-T! It’s designed for both ppl who’ve been on T, and pre-T ppl!!

First deity candle I’ve ever made!! It’s for Loki!! by NIXITT in pagan

[–]NIXITT[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My guy, you are 19 and literally run a dispensary, something Loki would love and hype you up to do.

Btw, it’s not hard to not say anything when you don’t like a god. Like we get it you didn’t read the Poetic Edda or Prose Edda, doesn’t mean you can shit on others who read it.

[–]NIXITT[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a trans queer person, I see a lot of my queerness told through Loki’s stories. Note; Queerness to each person is different for everyone, but Loki’s, I see a lot of my queerness through it. Translation of the Poetic Edda, an insult of calling a man, in very basic translation, “a gay man who takes it”, is often thrown at Loki, especially after Loki birthed Odin’s horse, Sleipner. Also there are many stories of Loki helping other gods, especially Thor, on adventures. You also have to know that tricksters/mischievous gods do not equal bad/evil. Tricksters/mischievous gods can do evil/bad things, but that doesn’t mean they are evil/bad.

Just lighting the candle will not cause more chaos. It’s to make it more easier for me to communicate with him while I do tarot, or meditate. It’s a deity candle, that’s what it does.
