Deoridhe TeaDidikai Deoridhe ninja Sometimes, part of my pour out is the sacrifice of drinking stuff much stronger and rawer than I prefer. Interesting. When I make offerings, I usually only do so of something I would share with someone myself. There is an underpinning of "suffer" to some of the stuff I do with regards to Odin and Loki. It's similar to the sacrifice of being speared through the chest to a tree, only less potentially life threatening. I also used to have a winter ritual of walking barefoot on snow. Gods only know what that was about; without snow, I haven't done it recently. Now the closest I come is walking on the beach when it's icy and half freezing myself. I don't have a word for the underpinning of these actions yet.
Is that similar? |

Is that similar?
In the same neighborhood, I'd say, but not the same house. |
