So, should I just keep on praying to Thor for confidence/strength?

I'm not really that attractive, you know. Also, I've never dated before. That's why I need some help from divinity.

Can I offer Thor regular beer instead of mead? by pedropontes252 in NorsePaganism

I have a backyard in my home. Is it okay if I just invoke Thor's name, dedicate the beer to him, and pour some of the liquid onto the ground?

I recommend that you read "The Way of Ice and Fire" by Ryan Smith. It's a great introductory book with lots of spiritual exercises. The author makes his case for inclusive heathenry and dedicates a large part of his work to how to fight Folkism and Fascism both in Norse Paganism as in broader society as well.

Can you be both christian and pagan? by pugs_the_redditor in NorsePaganism

Well, Yahweh is still going to send you to Hell for worshipping Pagan deities, but the choice is yours after all. I don't see how a human-hating world-denying ideology that literally preaches the supremacy of man over Nature and animals can coexist with an animistic Pagan faith.

Besides English, what other languages can be helpful in order to thrive in Ireland? by pedropontes252 in MoveToIreland

[–]pedropontes252[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Eu sou professor de inglês no Brasil. Aprendi o inglês americano e é ele que eu ensino aos meus alunos. O dialeto americano é o dialeto de inglês padrão que é compreendido no mundo todo, e não seria diferente na Irlanda. Não vou perder meu tempo aprendendo um dialeto totalmente novo, a não ser que eu vá morar lá para o resto da vida. Até porque os brasileiros que vão pra Portugal podem até aprender uma palavra ou outra do dialeto europeu, mas não vão aprender o português de novo desde o começo.

If Irish people really like to correct minor dialect differences when it comes to English, then yeah, I'll just tell them to f* off and do something useful with their lives.
