Opinions on wearing Mjolnir? I've had one around my neck since I started practicing a few months ago but, since I'm in America and white, I've begun to worry about coming across as, well, racist. I'm reluctant to remove it because I like how it looks, and it makes me feel connected to the gods, but I don’t want to send the wrong message to people and communities I actually support. Thoughts?
Do you have a “Black Lives Matter” pin, or other things you could wear (pins, patches, whatever) that the bigots in heathenry are likely to NOT be into? Rainbow jewelry, antifa symbols,things supporting feminism, etc.
If your other talk and other actions around people you have ongoing relationships with (classmates, coworkers, family, etc.) are clearly opposed to racism, those people will know what you’re for, so your Mjolnir shouldn’t give them the wrong impression. As for people you meet in passing, my thoughts are that you can either also wear something to show a clear stand against racism, tuck it under your shirt when you’re out, or try to not worry about what strangers think.
