Norse Paganism

177 readers
1 users here now

A community to discuss Norse paganism and other related Germanic neopagan religions (heathenry, Anglo-Saxon paganism, etc). An open and inclusive space.

Rules

  1. On-topic. This community is for discussion of Norse paganism and related forms of modern or historical Germanic religion.

  2. No racism, homophobia, hate. This includes folkism and other forms of racism masquerading as "differences of opinion." This space is explicitly inclusive and affirming of different sexualities and identities.

  3. No trolling, spam, etc. Self-explanatory.

  4. Proselytizing is not allowed. If your sole goal here is to attempt to convert people to your version of The Truth, you will have problems.

  5. Neopaganism is not dogmatic. All varieties of belief (theistic, non-theistic, and everything in between) are explicitly allowed here. Discussion and disagreement about differences are allowed, but keep it civil.

  6. Do not use this community as an advertising platform. Occasional promotion is fine, but don't ONLY use it to promote your wares or services.

  7. Use common sense. Beyond the above rules, moderation of this community is fairly loose at the moment. Remember you are interacting with other people. Use common sense.

In an effort to get some discussion going here, I am putting up this post! The question is in the title. I tend towards the following:

Frigg: really the goddess I connect with most, as family is an important thing for me. I don't adhere to any kind of patron concept, but if I did, Frigg would be the one. She is one of the few beings I've made an oath with.

Thor: the idea of the protector and friend of humanity is powerful. Always ready to lend a helping hand.

Odin: the lessons Odin has taught me are painful, but necessary. Often like being hit with a truth brick to the face. This is my experience when I delve deep into the worship of Odin.

Freyja and Týr: I tend to connect with them on a less personal level, but I do consistently make offerings to them.

I also sometimes venerate Eir, and right now I'm focused on the dísir that binds both sides of my family together.
