⋆｡°✩ melanie | 29 | norse pagan ✩°｡⋆

hello! i'm melanie, a 29 yr old norse pagan living in california. i use she/they pronouns, either or is fine. i'm not picky. i am devoted to freyja and loki. freyja in particular has been a presence in my life for years now, and i feel incredibly encouraged and empowered by her. i practice divination through tarot and rune reading. i also work with my pendulum quite a bit. i would love to be a seiðworker, and am in the process of learning all i can to carry on tradition. it's complicated though, as not much about seið has survived the sands of time. i'll be documenting my learning process here, though!

main content: hyper-focused solely on norse paganism, and our practices. not just freyja and loki, but all gods. i want to teach others and be taught, too! lots of thought posts, information, art, and music.

please note..

norse paganism is not restricted to a specific race. norse paganism is an open practice, that welcomes all regardless of their background. in other words: neo-nazis, fuck off.

i will not be posting any nsfw images, but may discuss triggering topics such as domestic violence or self harm (as it's related to my career). posts discussing such will have a tw on it.

i do free readings, both rune and tarot, when i have the free time. feel free to request one. however i ask that you don't request more than one a week, and keep in mind that i will respond when i am free. this means it can take a few days, if i'm busy with work and irl stuff.

the gods aren't out to get you. they aren't going to spend their time or energy bothering you, appearing before you in an attempt to scare or intimidate you, or punishing you. they will not try to jinx you, manipulate things to end poorly in your favor, or any other nefarious acts you may think they are performing. they aren't out to get revenge against you.

if you don't worship a god, or do not want to communicate with said god, they aren't going to harass and stalk you. they aren't going to appear as dark shadows. they aren't going to try to manipulate your relationships or hurt you.

quite frankly, it's ridiculous. it sounds mean, but it would be as if a lion was concerned with the opinion of an ant. there's so many pagans, so many devotees, why would a god frankly care about a person who doesn't even practice their religion, or care for them? and quite frankly, it seems a bit self-centered to be of the belief that your personal opinion may hurt a god so much that they'd spend their time and energy trying to enact revenge against you. it's just... silly.
