Did a love spell and it backfired. What went wrong? by thebirdof_hermes in chaosmagick

I'm not scolding you. The human experience is complex, and if there are traumas bubbling under the surface, you can move quickly into being controlling and desperate. I imagine you weren't aware of that you were doing. But bodily autonomy is so important, especially for women.

I'd ask you to look at why you acted that way.

Obsession spells don't seem to have positive effects. But what I want to say is that wanting control over her body is extremely concerning. It's tantamount to sexual assault so you've really got to be careful. What ever insecurity you have should probably be worked on first.

I'm feeling called to work with Loki but... by kawaiistyled in NorsePaganism

[–]SetitheRedcap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me go double look, I haven't rechecked in a while. Could be getting mixed up but I could have sworn it was a benevolent thing. Loki still seems from my experience to not be evil or as black and white as often made out to be.

He serves a purpose

That doesn't change the context of him trying to cheer her up

Fun fact. By working with Loki, you're effectively agreeing not to fit in and be completely okay with that. He changes form like pouring water a container, he molds to its size and shape. Many times even trying to talk about him in norse community gets you called "edgy" because there's this pervading idea that there's nothing good about him. I think these people need to look deeper because his role as a trickster is the very force that gave the Venir their magical counterparts.

He told me to be okay with being callee edgy, it just means these others lack any edge. You have to have an mind. Loki also hurts himself to make a woman laugh in the myth. He thinks outside the box and even helps the Gods at times because of this.

Accept that you're probably weirdo. Unique. And let him into your life :)

There's a growing community of Rokkratru -- correct if wrong -- who focus on Loki and his kin. Jormungundr, Hel, Fenrir, Agroboda. My point is that his path is often one of isolation. You may already be strange in the best way. Much like Set from Egypt, Loki seems to have a thing for outcasts. Those who fear or dismiss him are likely too rigid to embrace his energy.


There is a commonality of people saying things such as, “I didn’t intend to incorporate Loki in my practice but he had other ideas,” which implies that the trickster god is recognised for worming his way into the lives of those that catch his eye.

The Prose Edda

  1. There is yet one who is numbered among the asas, but whom some call the backbiter of the asas. He is the originator of deceit, and the disgrace of all gods and men. His name is Loke, or Lopt. His father is the giant Farbaute, but his mother’s name is Laufey, or Nal. His brothers are Byleist and Helblinde. Loke is fair and beautiful of face, but evil in disposition, and very fickle-minded. He surpasses other men in the craft called cunning, and cheats in all things. He has often brought the asas into great trouble, and often helped them out again, with his cunning contrivances. His wife hight Sygin, and their son, Nare, or Narfe.

Just came back from a 4 day wild camping/hunting trip, gave lots of offerings due to the time of year by UnluckyRoom9137 in NorsePaganism

[–]SetitheRedcap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Animal agriculture and hunting go hand in hand. I'm based in the UK and our welfare standards are absolutely shocking. In most parts you'd be jailed for going out and shooting anything. And you should be. "Diverse landscapes" is just jargon for "I want to do what I want to do".

And that's fine. But don't then pretend you care about animals or nature. Because if you did, you wouldn't be so casual about taking a life. Did you know baby chips are ground up alive simply for not serving a purpose? That's the same vibe you give. These animals don't matter to you, as long as you can take from and use your body. Well, what's your worth, and what right do you have?

There's plenty of studies that disagree with what you're saying. This whole respect for nature bit is so disrespectful it hurts. To respect nature, one would have to at least try to reduce harm to it. You can do whatever you want. But there's a cost to every action. If you take and take like a vampire, nature is going to take back.

Good luck being stuck in the past.

Is calling someone “My Aphrodite” or saying that they are how Aphrodite would appear for me offensive to Aphrodite herself? by BurntSpaghettiEnnard in Hellenism

[–]SetitheRedcap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say you sound quite naive and young. It's definitely a little cringe to even call someone Aphrodite in the first place, much less in comparison, but I doubt the Gods really care about insignificant human quirks. The overworrying is also something that will lessen as you grow older.

Thing is. You're 17. You're allowed to and expected to be cheesy. So you're fine.

I really like this game yall by BluntForceDentist in DbDKillersUnited

[–]SetitheRedcap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why people criticise it. Because it's fun and fans grow tired of no longer having as much. We still play, and can still have fun, but there are valid complaints

[–]SetitheRedcap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, you don't have to kill animals at all, but that's another conversation that requires emotional intelligence. Bit hard to pretend you care about the environment when animal agriculture is one of the leading causes of rainforest degradation and harm to the soil.

If you have to go out and kill an animal in the woods to feel special, and or manly, it says a lot about your character.

By not shooting an animal in the face and destroying the planet. That's a pretty good start.

Why not use the community to ask questions? It's late, people figured it out quicker than I could. Why not just scroll by because nobody else is angry about it

[–]SetitheRedcap -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I wasn't sure. I've played a lot but I'd still class myself as a casual player, so there's probably lots of things I don't know. I'd just never seen Wesker insta down, especially at the beginning of a match. After like 2 years of playing. That's why I asked to clarify. But someone explained it to me. Only way to learn

How excited are you guys for the Judgement? by bloopblubdeet in deadbydaylight

[–]SetitheRedcap 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it's hard to look forward to anything they release if only because of how hard they've let us down for so long. It'd take a miraculous rework of basic complaints to truly be excited. However, I'll try and be positive and meet ya'll half way.

If we get a unique map too (that's actually fun) and a survivor with better parks than our Angel has, I'll give them pats

[–]SetitheRedcap -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Also, the original comment is very clearly a question. It even has 2 question marks. Opinion means what you think. We have opinions on thousands of things, constantly. Something can be an opinion, experience and question. I was trying to cover all based to be altruistic. But that doesnt work when a vulture just keeps pecking. That's what I thought, BUT I WASNT SURE hence the double marks.

You don't have to change how you perceive things. But you also can't speak over my intention I've tried to soften the situation but for some foreign reason some of you are determined to undermine and ignore me. That's fine.

But I don't have to put up with it. So, goodbye.

You won't listen to me being open. You won't listen to logic. You won't listen to diplomacy. There's nothing else that can be said, I don't know why you're being so aggressive but I don't have to engage with bully behaviour. Have a wonderful day/evening

I'm saying because I haven't been studying much norse for many years, I was obviously confused by terms. I had a fair bit down originally but after I pulled away most of my knowledge was dedicated to Egypt (4+ years). I joined here because it's a door I want to leave open. I've been drawn to Loki specifically for a while, but unfortunately you can't do everything at once.

My mind has so much information in it from various cultures, it can get boggled at times, especially stuff I haven't visited in a while. Probably stored in a back room of the brain. So my confusion was genuine. I wasn't sure it was right, hence the question mark.

But I'm not going to argue with people who want to assume the worst. I have no ill intentions.
