#thor devotion

It's also funny to me that, despite Thor being depicted in so many different ways, the two most accurate examples of how Thor actually appears (at least in my experience) are from God of War and the YouTube channel Overly Sarcastic Productions

Mjolnir with oak and houseleeks. Or as I grew up calling them, hens and chicks.

Apollo: I’ve found that Apollo just likes to show up and sit with you places. It’s his way of checking in on you. One of my friends actually did a tarot and pendulum reading for me and Apollo apparently recognized me as one of his children which, like, holy shit dude. But seriously, Apollo is super loving. He’s always just kind of around, either because you feel his energy or you see crows and ravens basically everywhere. He also has a very protective energy, I feel like he would get super mad if any of his devotees are mistreated, which definitely fits with his myths. It’s super cliché but the only way to describe how you feel with connecting with him is sunny. My body feels a lot lighter and almost like it’s glowing, and I feel more at peace. This applies to most deities, but you really get the sense with Apollo that he wants you to feel good and he’ll do whatever he can to make that happen. Also he’s fuckin gorgeous. And he really likes apples for offerings, he always asks for them. 

Artemis: Artemis has such a cool energy. I feel like she’s that badass older sister that leans against walls and gives really damn good advice. When I connect with Artemis I just feel way cooler than before, like I can take on anything. Like I could fight any man and win. But don’t get me wrong, she definitely has a softer side. She’s adamant about me taking care of myself and doesn’t want anything bad to happen to me. I deal with a lot of terrible anxiety, and she’s always super reassuring that nothing will happen to me and if it does, she will smite something. Artemis gives me confidence. I also feel really called to help wildlife when I connect with her, which is fitting of course. She has some of the most protective energy out of all my deities - they all love and protect me of course, but Artemis is the most adamant about it. Probably because she knows that helps with my anxiety. I don’t know man, she’s just so badass and supportive and reassuring. She also likes apples. I also get the vibes that the Greek Gods can be a little more vague with their answers than the Norse or Celtic pantheons, but not in a bad way, just in a “you need to figure this out yourself” way, which I can respect and appreciate. 

Cernunnos: Has an incredibly wise and ancient energy. I've found he's very clear with what he wants during tarot readings, he will tell you exactly what you need to work on and do. Cernunnos is also very adamant about self care, probably because I don't do it enough, oops. He has this rule where, if you take something from the earth, you must give something back. Like when you pluck a flower, say thank you or water the ground where it stood. It takes a bit to get into the swing of doing that but you'll have such a better relationship with the land once you do. Whenever I connect with him I feel so much calmer and level-headed than usual. He's also very insistent that I meditate more often. 

(He wanted me to use this picture lmao I love him)

Thor

Culture: Norse

God/Goddess of: Thunder, Lightning, Strength, Protection, Fertility, Masculinity, Protector of Humanity

Offerings: Hearty Foods and Stews, A Mjolnir Necklace, Acorns, Oak, Pine, Goat Meat, Rainwater, Rain scented candles, Garlic, Leeks, Onions, Mead and Beer

UPG: Thor is the ultimate hype man, and loves encouraging his followers. He’s also a massive flirt, and is surprisingly ticklish. His presence is strong and warm, and you can feel his love for you in everything you do.

Zeus

Culture: Greek

God/Goddess of: The Sky, Weather, Law, Order, Kingship, Hospitality, Father and King of the Gods

Offerings: Wine, Whiskey, Milk, Tea, Coffee, Bread, Red Meat, Scaled Fish, Fruit, Rain Water, Frankincense, Myrrh, Rain Scented Candles, Oak, Pine and Crowns

UPG: Zeus is a surprisingly kind and fatherly god. He cares deeply for his followers, though can act out at times when angered. I heard an account of a follower who was complaining about there being no rain, so he sent a thunderstorm that lasted so long they got 18 bottles of rainwater out of it. That being said, he is kind and will take care of his followers' needs.

Susanoo

Culture: Japanese

God/Goddess of: The Sea, Storms

Offerings: Rainwater, Chocolate, Crackers, Sea Salt, Noodles and Ramen, Rain scented Candles, Sea water, Fish and Sushi

UPG: Susanoo is a very active god, he’s easily angered and tempestuous. However, he is also very fun to be with. He has a regal presence befitting a god, but he is also disheveled and able to hang out with his followers freely. He is stubborn. As long as you avoid angering him, Susanoo makes good company for any weather or sea witch

Rhiannon

Culture: Welsh

God/Goddess of: Wind, The Moon, Horses, Songbirds, Gates, Horseshoes, Love, Happiness, Beauty and Prosperity

Offerings: Lavender, Soft-sounding Music, A White Candle with the Number 7 carved into it, Horseshoes, White Flowers, Apples, Working with Horses and Dogs, Practicing with Liminal Spaces and Meditation

UPG: She loves to hear her followers sing, and is a very kind and motherly presence. This is strange, but she has the exact same vibes as the song by Fleetwood Mac. Otherworldly, Witchy and Kind. Her sacred day is Monday, and her Sabbat is Beltane. Her feast is on March 1st.

~~~

Freyr

Culture: Norse

God/Goddess of: Rain, Sunshine, Fertility, Peace, Kingship, Virility, Harvest

Offerings: Honey, Grains, Gold, Antlers, Phallic Objects, Wheat Bread, Rich and Dark Beers, Pork, Apple, Barley, Nuts and Seeds, Coins, Rain Scented Candles, and Golden Objects

UPG: Freyr really lives up to his title as God of Sunshine. He’s a little bit of a worrywart with his followers, he really doesn’t want them to get hurt, bless his soul. He’s strongly associated with antlered animals, and is very affectionate and kind. Freyr is a very loving god.

Perun

Culture: Slavic

God/Goddess of: The Sky, Storms, Rain, Law, War, Fertility, Oak, Nobility and Warriors

Offerings: Meat, Ale, Mead, Golden Apples, Red and Gold Candles, Rain Scented Candles, Fowl meat (especially Rooster), Wooden Objects made of Oak, Rain Water, Arrows and Arrowheads

UPG: Perun is truly befitting the title of King. He has a very fatherly and stern presence, but never a hateful one. However, Perun does have a fierce rivalry with Veles, so it’s likely best not to mention the trickster god when communicating with him.

~~~

Horus

Culture: Egyptian

God/Goddess of: The Sky, Storms, Rulership, The Sun and War

Offerings: Fowl Meat, Brass or Gold Objects, White Feathers, Dark Ale, Water, Bread, Honey, Salt, Grains

UPG: Horus is a princely figure. He is stern and reasonable to a fault, and very patient with his followers. Understanding and kind, Horus is a great patron for any weather witch

~~~

Taranis

Culture: Celtic

God/Goddess of: Thunder and War

Offerings: Wheels, Lightning Imagery, Daggers, Feathers, Baked Goods, Meat, Alcohol, Rain Scented Candles

Poems I owed to Thor... Before anyone asks, this is what he asked me for... And he is amused.

Hi, my name is Thor

I have a mighty hammer

Let's go smash some shit

Loki was my friend

Friends don't cut friends' wives' hair off

I love Sif very much

Have you met my goats?

It's okay, you can eat them

One strike splits open the sky

Much rain - you're welcome!
