Heill friends. My name is Ivar :D, I recently changed my name from my original Christian name. (Haven't been able to share that yet and i wanted to tell someone)

Anyways, I have made a ritual which i call Blotasjalfr. (Translates to Sacrifice oneself)

The history of Blotasjalfr and where i got it is pretty simple. The name is a combination of old norse words. The meaning is based off of what odin did in order to gain knowledge

The premise of Blotasjalfr is a sacrifice of yourself to the gods, aswell as a sacrifice of yourself to yourself (Just like odin) Here is what I do for Blotasjalfr so far

  • Start with a ice cold bath in which i start a initiation prayers to various gods, the

I see myself as sapiosexual, you can hate me for it if you want but I feel it fits me best. I also fall under the bisexual banner but being sapiosexual is a big part of me.

​

However, about a year ago I went through the subreddit in an attempt to learn about sapiosexuals and what it is I just ended up seeing most saying it is not a valid or real sexuality.

​

Most of the posts were from years ago but I'm still curious as to why most don't see it as valid

(I don't think I'm breaking any rules but if I am can someone let me know so I can take this down)

I understand that we have things like skin color, Height, eye color, etc. Why tho do we not have more drastic things like Galapagos finches and what not. All things considering we are separated throughout the ENTIRE world. That is more than most species so i am just Curious

Gift ideas for a pagan buddie of mine

Questions/Looking for Help

Hey, I'm a Norse pagan myself but I'm coming up blank on ideas for him. I know he has the eddas and rudiments of runelore.

I'm struggling to come up with ideas and I definitely want to get him something related to the faith considering we both practice it.

Any ideas?

Hey yall. Let me introduce the characters in this story rq lol

Me: 16 m

My ex (we will call her Carla) 17 F

My new girlfriend (we'll call her rose) 14 f

Before anything is said, the age difference isn't as bad as it seems. I just turned 17 and rose turns 16 in less than a month

Me and Carla were dating on and off for about 3 years. We rarely had a stable relationship. We broke up maybe 17ish times throughout that 3 years. Our relationship wasn't always horrible tho, we had some decent times but it's been a very long time since then.

I was dating Carla when I met this new girl, rose. I had 0 romantic feelings towards her and honestly just saw her as a decent friend (Rose is also a fre

Heill yall. My name is Einar. I changed my name many years ago from my old Christian given name. I am a devout follower of The old gods. I practice worship daily. Many years ago i swore my life to the gods and the old ways. I had hard times with the christian faith and those within it. I have a lot of respect for chirstians and i have many friends who are christians. I very frequently have debates with people over theology and what not. I have dedicated my soul and body to the gods (I have gotten a full arm, head, chest, and back tattoos all relating to them.) I am very open and willing to talk about anything relating to my faith and my history as a Christian. So ask me anything :)
