It's ok to not forgive someone for how they hurt you, even if they apologize. You are not obligated to forgive anyone. You are valid in your decision not to.

Reminder that my inbox is pretty backed up, and I will not get to them all immediately. Some of these asks are phrased more urgently than others, but I seriously need y'all to know that I am taking my time. I cannot address urgent questions, and I actually don't like it when things are phrased urgently; it's really stressful for me and applies unnecessary pressure. Please do not expect an immediate answer.
I will be closing asks at this time in an attempt to prevent extra build up and partially due to the fact that I feel somewhat uncomfortable now. It feels like my boundaries have been crossed in some way. Some of these asks are literally begging me for help and have been sent several times (either a glitch or to emphasize that the person needs a response). Please do not send me asks phrased in such ways and do not purposely send me duplicates. I'll get to it when I'm able.
Thank you for your patience, and take care.

hey. I wanna work with loki!! Bc he apparently fits me? I just read about it. Do you maybe have some uhm things about him? Like how to call him. Bc like in Greek mythology it's lord/lady or king/queen so what is it in norse mythology? Like do I be like "lord loki"? Bc that doesn't sound good at all. Also, can I work with candles when talking to him? I don't wanna do tarot.
Hey, Nonny!
Personally, I call him Lord Loki or Loki. If Lady feels more appropriate, I'm sure they wouldn't mind! Loki is a shape shifter after all. c;
You absolutely can work with candles to speak with him! Most Loki worshippers I've met actually do this, myself included. In my experience, he loves fire! He's great with pyromancy.
I hope this helps, and feel free to ask more questions if you'd like! Have a good day/night! 🖤💚

Hey. Any books on norse mythology? Modern ones 🤔
Hey, Nonny! @broomsick would definitely have better recommendations than I would. They're SUPER knowledgeable and are more educated on the topic than me! If you're looking for something a bit more fun to read, I recommend Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman. It's a very fun read and goes over some very classic Norse myths! Hope you find what you're looking for. :) 💚🖤
Note: Neil Gaiman is not an informational source, just a source to read the myths for fun. @broomsick is able to provide you with educational sources; I am not, as I haven't read many modern sources on Norse mythology, unfortunately.

Thank you for the @ you send. I uhm, was both people, the one with the cheat sheet and the one with the information and I just wanna thank you. You're doing a lot. I wanted to ask another question but it's about something completely else, it's about greek mythology, so I don't think you're gonna answer, but at the same time it's also kind of not? I apologize if I say too much. I uhm, just need someone to give me their opinion
You can send the ask to my main blog @khaire-traveler if you want! It's Greek deity focused. I'm happy to help, but I will say that I'll be a bit slow getting to the ask because my inbox is currently pretty full (I've been trying to answer some today to clear it up a bit).
Thank you for stopping by! I'm happy to help where I can. I hope you are doing well and that you have a good rest of your day/night, Nonny. c: 🖤💚

Hey. Would you put more information on norse gods? I want to find the one who fits me 😭 I'm sorry if that's too difficult
Hey, Nonny! I'm a bit confused by what you mean. Are you asking for me to make a post that explains who the Norse gods are? If so, I actually recommend you take a look at @broomsick 's account because they are MUCH more knowledgeable than I am. They have lots of posts that are already made. c:
Take care! 💚🖤

Can u make a cheat sheet with pictures for all the Norse gods?
I would prefer not to. Those kinds of posts are a lot of work. Even the subtle worship posts I make now are hard to put together sometimes. I appreciate the ask, though; I'm glad you find more information useful. Take care, Nonny. c: 💚🖤

Hii, I love your blog. It's been a while since I've practice witchcraft and I wanted to start again. Specifically, interacting/worshipping deities. The thing is I've never done that, I don't know where to start, I'm so lost, I also forgot the difference between witchcraft and paganism. So, if you have any tips on how to start again, I would highly appreciate it<3 -Leo
Hey, Leo, thanks for the ask!
On my alt account @khaire-traveler , I have a bunch of helpful links in my pinned post! You'd likely find the most use of the "Deities & Entities" section. Here is also an old ask I answered from that account with a similar question to yours. I included links within my answers that you may find useful!
I hope this helps, and if you have any specific questions, please feel free to ask them! I'm happy to help with what I can. Take care, and have a good day/night. c: 🧡
