Fenrir: devotional acts + offerings + memes because why not (UPG). 🐺
Feeling angry is extremely valid and important. You can offer it, especially if you have anger issues. All strong emotions are an excellent offering! From anger, frustration, anxiety, everything is valid.
Triggers. Many of us have things that can trigger triggers, and we can give all that to the great wolf Fenrir. You don't need to justify it to give it to him, just do it. He'll understand.
Howl and growl. We've always been taught a lot about keeping our composure, and honestly, I don't give a shit. Bring out your inner savagery and allow yourself to walk on all fours, growl, howl when you're alone. Devour the meat on your plate, muss your hair and move like an animal in your room to the beat of a song like Welcome To The Jungle.
Dedicate the pain, the suffering. The pain of your muscles when you get a tattoo, the pain of your skin when you get a tattoo and the pain when you get a piercing. It can also be the pain of your traumas, the pain your inner child felt, anything is possible.
Donate to wolf protection centers, even adopt one where you donate money to take care of it! Do not keep it as a pet, of course.
Wear outfits, accesories, stuff in general, in black, brown, or earth-colored.
Practice self-care. He appreciates this very much.
BE YOURSELF. He was put in chains for expressing himself as he is. Do the same: be yourself, speak for yourself, express what you feel, your opinions, and stand up for those who cannot, either because they are shy, or because they are people who have a disability, for example people with paralysis.
Take trips to the mountains, or surround yourself with nature whenever you can. Listen to the sound of the rain, admire the color of the forest, its smells, everything.
Free yourself from your chains: go to therapy to heal everything you need to heal so you can free yourself more and more.
Be kind to stray animals. Leave food for stray dogs, water, etc. And if you can't, be kind to them, give them a smile, a cuddle, etc.
Offer him the anger or helplessness you feel in situations of injustice.
Offer him meat. If you don't eat meat, you can tell him without fear! You can offer him not to eat animals so that they do not suffer, it is also a beautiful offering. Thus, like him, they will not be tortured.
Offer him your trust. He was betrayed, so let him know that you will not. Place your hand on his mouth to let him know that you trust him completely.
Offer him your company. He is extremely lonely, locked up in a cave totally tied up and with a sword through his jaws. He loves to be accompanied.

Hel and Baldur vibing in Helheim subway. Because surely Helheim has subways.
These is my take on these two for "Scion: becoming as gods" ttrpg. It's a really cool game about being a child of a deity (from literally any pantheon, not just greek or roman like in original pjo). So of course there are deities and some mythical beings. And of course I have to make an attempt at designing my faves from those.
I find it really interesting and tragic how Hel and Baldur parallel eachother. Both kinda did nothing wrong except being Loki's daughter and Odin's son. Both ended up in the afterlife for this. They're children of sworn enemies stuck here because of their parents. I feel like there is some sort of weird understanding in spite of their fathers animosity towards eachother. Or, more accurately, because of it. Yeah, I headcanon that Hel and Baldur became friends really quickly upon meeting.
Honestly their duet of life and death, warmth and cold, growth and decay is so underrated. I get that most mythology fans get that from Hades and Persephone, but these two are so slept on :'D

I might add more to this later on! For the time being, this is my list of discreet ways to worship Freyr. I hope you enjoy this, and take care! 💚

It is true love.
I tried to be Sigyn
and keep it from you.
In the end,
my bowl was full,
the venom had splashed me.
You say you told me to drop it
but I distinctly remember
it falling, you thrashing
It shook my world,
but I understand,
you were tied to the rock.
It's okay,
somebody will come by
who will untie you
And somebody
will take my snake away
so I won't have to.

It's 2am, please forgive me if there are any mistakes!
A mix of increasing Gnosticism in media and the underpowering of Bosses makes me want to root for the bad guys.
History is written by the winners, and the victors never fail to demonize their enemies to justify their actions.
To Odin, the Allfather. I was rooting for ya, you manipulative bastard, and you will be missed.
What are each Norse deity the “God/dess of,” you ask?
Thor - knocking Jotnar on the head with a hammer
Loki - “It’s just a prank, bro.” Famous last words
Freyja - Warriors 🐈 🐱 🐈⬛
Freyr - spent his life savings on a wife (originally wrote traded his sword for a wife)
Sif - hair extensions
Odin - Conspiracy theories -like did you start Ragnorok or
Hel - “I do not control the die.”
Njord - “I do not control the lobsters.” (unless he has a fishing rod)
Aegir - “I do control the lobsters.”
alternatively: Party down in Mostro Lounge
Ran - I do control the speed at which lobsters die.
alternatively: “I’ve only had this lost soul for a day and a half, but if anything happens to them, I’ll kill everybody in this room and then myself.”
Gerdr - thaw, I think
Skade - Artemis but snowy
Njordr + Skade - Norse equivalent of Lạc Long Quân + Âu Cơ
Ullr - more than > a Viking hobby
Baldr - Jesus??? Not confirmed
Tyr - lefty for (rest of my) life
Idunn - Minecraft golden apples
Bragi - poetry slams
Frigg - Almother
Heimdall - club bouncer
Gefjun - Danish island Sjælland
Sigyn - “I gotchu fam”
Eir - Why are there Cheetos in the first aid kit?
Mengloth - Apologize or else!
Fenrir - Clifford the Big Red Dog
Hugi - we must be swift
Logi - as a raging fire
Surtr - you ever noticed movies with a big black volcano 🌋 are filmed in Iceland?
Just like the post states, Disney has NO RIGHT to trademark these names that DO NOT belong to them. MORE SO as they only have interest in making MONEY from doing so. I am not a religious person, but I have enough respect and understanding to know when a culture is being DISGRACED for, what? Money?
So FUCK DISNEY.
YES, they have been a part of most peoples childhoods. YES, they are a part of history itself, BUT what they are doing now is unacceptable and inconsiderate of those before us and those who still believe in this religion that’s been around WAY BEFORE Disney.
Disney has trademarked the names of a bunch of Norse gods.
This is not okay.
These gods do not belong to Disney. They do not belong to Marvel. They belong to themselves and themselves alone, along with all those who worship them as the deities they are.
Thor, Loki, Odin, etc., these gods were not thought up by anyone at Disney or Marvel.
Stan Lee knew how sacred these gods are to those who follow many different Pagan traditions, how sacred they are to Scandinavian cultures to whom they are so important.
My best friend follows the Norse gods. She will be so bloody offended when she finds out about this. These are her gods, this is her religion. These are the deities she worships, the gods she prays to, the traditions she follows. She enjoys the Marvel portrayals of these characters, but they are separate from the gods she believes in.
Disney is stepping on her religion in an effort to gain more and more money.
Stan Lee did not trademark these names. He understood their importance and their sacred meaning. He was respectful enough not to do this.
These names are not the intellectual property of anyone. Neither the original names in runes nor the anglicised names that are used in Marvel's works.
They were around well before us (a whole ass millennium before us), and they will be around well after the greedy bastards who have decided to trademark religious symbols are dust.
It should be common sense and common courtesy not to trademark the names of religious figures, which all of these gods and goddesses are, even if you do not believe in them.
mod is not christian but you would never see me trademark jesus ffs it crosses a Line
If you agree, please sign and share the petition. If you can, please chip in to get this petition everywhere it can possibly go.
It is f**king disgusting that Disney is doing this.
It needs to stop.
Oh, and one more thing.
FUCK DISNEY.
i want to throw up ive included a bunch of tags trying to get the norse pagans attention bc im sure they'll want in on this if u have an in with the norse paganism community on tumblr pls do tag everyone u can
im wondering now if they've done this to the greek gods too ughh that would show even more of a disregard for other people's religious views and past people's religious views ughhhh ok imma go look at the toilet bowl for a bit 😅pls sign it'd mean the world to me

This is your relationship with your deities in your practice. Don't let anyone tell you what you can and can't do. 🫶
It's 2am, please forgive me if there are any mistakes!
Being so afraid of being wrong that you can’t move is actually the worst thing you could do for your practice.
You aren’t imposing on anyone.
You aren’t insulting the Gods. Arguably, you don’t actually know what would be considered insulting unless you’ve actually asked Them.
You’re not going to be beaten up and told you are the worst devotee ever.
You aren’t going to be told by any Deity you are morally imbalanced or impure.
The only thing the Gods are actually concerned with is the ability to get you to listen to Them which means peeling away layers and layers of trauma, biases, and patterns that take you away from Them. They would not forcibly remove you from Their attentions just because you wanted to try something new or do something that no one else is doing.
The ultimate goal of any Divine relationship for either side should always be to draw nearer to Them, not be pushed away because your discernment is inaccurate while you are learning.
