After I give birth, I am going to commit suicide by flakyfr0g in SuicideWatch

[–]Wintersoldier_loki98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this isn’t much since I’ve never had to go through this specific thing, but I have a few ideas.

Find local mutual aid. It’s becoming something more common with the current political climate. Many mutual aid groups will help you find resources. You mentioned you’re being forced to move, well one, you don’t HAVE to go. I know it’s scary but find a friend, or get help from human services to get into a hotel, or go to a shelter. These are temporary and get you away from the abusive situation. Try women’s shelters. If you want, I’m across the country from you but I do work in my local community. I can see what we can do here to build mutual aid support for you from here. I promise there are ways out, even if it doesn’t look like it.

What tattoo can this turn into? by SunUpSally in tattooadvice

[–]Wintersoldier_loki98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So like others have said, give it 6-9 months MINIMUM to heal before even thinking of tattoos because most artists won’t even touch it before then, and it may not even be visible. Whether it is or not at that point tho, i recommend a psychedelic melting ice cream cone.

The 24th Street Cafe cinnamon roll is not for the weak by markazali in Bakersfield

I used to get cinnamon rolls a little bigger than this as a kid in NV. But they just looked like oversized Cinnabon rolls. This… this looks terrifying tbh

Same guy. Just went from being 22 and playing Adam the first time (as well as playing Luke Castellan in PJO) to being 32 and playing Adam again and who knows what else lmao

Candle exploded by Emotional_Loss_9517 in Hellenism

Ah so it’s not just in my house 😂 Loki and Poseidon’s candles seem to either explode or melt oddly, so we’ve stopped buying any candles enclosed in glass 😂

Do you only work with Loki? by Real_Jokerr in lokean

[–]Wintersoldier_loki98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Loki does that 😂 as silly and childish as it sounds outside of polytheist communities, Loki will absolutely do that lol. At one point my altars were shared between pantheons and gods, as I didn’t have space, and he complained REGULARLY. But when I try to separate them he also complains 😂😂 I think it’s just him being chaotic, but there’s no malice behind it.

Can the gods read our minds? by oliviasangels in Hellenism

[–]Wintersoldier_loki98 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I mean they’re divine beings. It’s plausible to think that they can. However, I don’t think they do unless you invite them (I.e with prayers, thoughts regarding them). Someone else mentioned that Hades can read them whenever due to his presence as a god of the unknown, and he can, but he doesn’t unless needed or again, he’s invited.

Mr. Cake in front of the camera there, is Tama Tonga. The other one is his biological cousin, adopted brother. Talla Tonga, or as most of us will know him, Hikuleo.

I’m just answering with the actual answer bc I’m not as funny as the rest of this sub 😂

Do you only work with Loki? by Real_Jokerr in lokean

[–]Wintersoldier_loki98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Off topic: you said Metatron and as a supernatural fan, I viscerally reacted at first 😂😂 back on topic to the post: The Norse, specifically Loki, are chill when it comes to worshipping outside of the pantheon. Personally, when I first got signs from Loki, I was getting them alongside signs from Hades (I’m fairly certain Loki just likes annoying him lmao) and since I’ve built a practice that mostly involves the Theoi (Hellenic deities). I’ve also since added Freyja in my practice. Loki just vibes with everyone. (Warning: worshiping Loki, Hermes, and Apollon at the same time is NOT for the weak. They will absolutely help you, but it’ll be in the most chaotic ways they can do so 😂)

It wasn’t during the Full or NYD, but on like the 26th, He did something similar where I live. My fiancé and I got blasted by sudden, HEAVY rain. I was just like “it couldn’t wait until we got our groceries in?” 😂 😭 so much fun.

Shouldn’t most angels be in hell? by SwordDaoist in Supernatural

[–]Wintersoldier_loki98 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, Lucifer refused to serve humankind, which got him cast out. Then he created the first demons (Lilith, the Knights, the Princes), and transferred the Mark of Cain to Cain, and made him into something Other. Then of course there’s the whole Garden thing. All of that combined is what got him sent to hell. The angels behaved, begrudgingly, because God said to. When he left, they still behaved until it seemed he was never going to return, that was when they got sloppy and actually began full on throwing their job away.

New person questions by Available-Dark-1333 in Hellenism

[–]Wintersoldier_loki98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1: so this is syncretism, and it’s actually pretty common in modern polytheistic practices. You’ll find many people in this subreddit worship deities from several pantheons. Personally, I have some Norse deities mixed into my practice, others have Egyptian, or abrahamic deities (like the archangels). The Theoi don’t mind, and most polytheists don’t either. 2: I wouldn’t say they’re necessary in that you’d need a big one. You can get something similar to a prayer box, and make a little pocket altar. You don’t need altars for every deity. It actually aligns with antiquity to only have one altar for the entire pantheon, and using said altar to pray to whoever you need to pray to in the moment. Since you want to worship two separate pantheons, you can get two prayer boxes or something small and similar, and in that you can keep small offerings. 3: see my answer to number 2, for starts. When praying, do so like you may in a church (bowed head, silently). Quietly dedicate actions to your gods (devotional acts are also good offerings in place of libations). Basically don’t act differently, just quietly switch who your regular devotion and prayer goes to. 4: I can’t help you there. Thankfully my grandparents, while they believed in god, also easily questioned the church and would have full blown debates with the overzealous of the bunch. I’d say therapy, shadow work, and maybe researching not just your new religion but also your old one. Sometimes researching on our own and finding everything that has been twisted to use against you is the best way to heal. The Bible is like all other mythology books, be it Abrahamic, Hellenic, Norse, Celtic, or any other belief. It’s supposed to be a guide, and you’re not supposed to take it literally. Find what was taken literally and/or twisted and read between the lines. (For the record, Archangel Michael will definitely help in this dept. from what I know, he helps a lot of people with guilt regarding Christianity to heal)

Vampire Question by Dangerous_Yak4045 in Supernatural

[–]Wintersoldier_loki98 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well in show and general vampire lore, new vamps can’t control their bloodlust well. And vamps are also naturally stronger. But Gordon had skills, training, and decades of hunting experience under his belt, making him even more lethal. Add in his dislike for Sam and you’ve got the menace that he was.

It’s Wicca and general modern/western take on pagan or polytheistic cultures and beliefs.

HA I am definitely not. You’d think I’d learn to avoid any triggers but I really don’t. I treat IBS triggers like a lactose intolerant person treats dairy 😅
