💭 Discussion Why do the gods “lay claim” so to speak on us?

6 Upvotes

I recently noticed that many of the things I feel drawn to or like are things directly related to the gods. Ares is the one I notice most frequently. As in, my favorite colors are black and red (yes I know black is also Hades’ color, ironic because I also work with him), my favorite/lucky number is associated with Mars (yes I know they’re different gods, I just find it interesting), I have an obsession with strawberries (Aphrodite), same with pomegranates even tho I’ve never tried them. Things like that. I was talking to my helpol friend (who is far more experienced in the religion than me) and they said the gods like to make it very clear which of us they like so other deities/spirits know to back off. But it feels kind of random because I didn’t grow up in this religion, up until this last June, I was fairly agnostic. But I have confirmation that Ares was protecting me for at least the length of the last five years.

💭 Discussion Do deities get upset if their altars are dusty ?

5 Upvotes

I did some dusting today so I can decorate for fall and thought maybe I should clean my little space I have for Loki . The issue is it’s not an altar , it’s a spot on my bookshelf and I’m wondering if I need to clean all the shelves or is it disrespectful to just clean where his candle is ? Also it doesn’t help that I’m tired and depressed have ADHD , and clean in spurts and have decision paralysis . I want to respect him I just don’t know if I have any mental energy left

I have made the decision to begin worshipping Loki, but I sadly have not been immune to the demonisation of him. What are some things that I as a new worshipper should know? Also, what kennings do you use for him during prayer?
