Hi, Nonny.

The thing is, the worship of different gods doesn't fundamentally differ all that much in modern Heathenry. And as far as we know, there wasn't anything like the ouranic/chthonic distinction for historical heathens either. In a ritual sense, there's no reason worshiping Loki and Thor has to look different from worshiping Loki and anyone else, or worshiping Loki alone.

We have a blog specifically about Loki because Lokeans tend to be excluded or looked down on in a lot of online spaces, but most of the things we post can be more broadly applied to other Heathen gods.

You don't have to have separate shrines or anything. You don't have to do rituals differently, or hold separate rituals. Nothing's stopping you if you want to do any of these things, but it's not mandatory. You can just keep on doing what you've been doing. We do have a general Heathenry section in our reading list if you're brand new and kind of lost on how to go about worship in general.

I'll also put this in the tags to see if anyone who works with both Loki and Thor would like to share their writings or experiences. Every relationship is unique, and your practice may not end up looking like other people's practices. But insight from others never hurts!

Thor devotees give a holler!

My living room window has a crack in it, so I can always hear the rain and smell the petichor out back. I'm sure my big guy would be loving this if he was still here since he would paw at the window until I'd crack it open so he could smell the rain - even if it would give him the sniffles. I suppose this is another way Thor is helping me to make sure I don't get too lonely and that the both of them are never too far away.

But, as the old saying goes, it can't rain all the time. Maybe my luck will come back soon and things aren't always going to be a mess. At least I have my health, sort of. I just need some things to finally work out and I'll call that a major victory for me. With that said, my devotional playlist decided that I needed to take one from Brothers of Metal's One and just have hope in the process that things will be okay.

Hail, Thor; He Who Rides Alone, The Hallower, and The Defender of the Common People. May he be with us to loan us strength, courage, and good laughter to get through these difficult times.
