My mother told me today if i could change my name to Loki, instead of my chosen name(because she dont like it) and I don't know how to feel about it...
Loki is so important for me, my mum knows part of it... but I dont know if I even deserve his name... And people may thinks im so obsesed with him that I chose it to be my name. Im having an existencial crisis right now, may its not the correct moment... but i need to share this with someone.
I feel like I can't talk to anyone about my religious feelings because they will never understand me. "They will juzge me", "They will think I'm crazy", "They will think I'm seeking for attention"... I feel hella lonely right now.
But, tumblr is helping me.
Thank u all

I once held hands with the Moon. In the dark of the star riddled sky. His touch smooth and cooling, His skin pale as pearl.
I once held hand with the Moon. Resting upon His crescent, hovering above the sea. His eyes clear as the ocean and as beautiful as the brightest sapphire.
I once held hands with the Moon. Cradled in the softness of His glow. His light kinder than the Sunβs. He knows all my secrets and loves me still.
I once held hands with the Moon. I have fallen in love with Him. Each night His smile graces the skies. And my heart sings at His presence.
I once held hands with the Moon. His gentle caress lulls me to sleep. I mourn when His sister rises. As I miss my celestial prince.
I once held hands with the Moon. I have given my heart away to Him. And every night I await His return, To see my shining prince hanging in the sky once more.
Praying has helped me in life when I am at my lowest.
It is important to give back if you wish to receive through prayer. If you do not give, you cannot have a relationship with who you pray to.
Finding ways you can be close with the gods is important. For me it's singing hymns. Find your own way, or even use another person's idea. The important thing is that a gift is freely given. Recognizing them as forces in the world. What ever you do, it should be passionate and meaningful for you personally. That's what makes it a good offering.
I had this idea, that may or may not have been suggested before. I don't remember a suggestion this specific but there is a possibility.
If you use tarot cards or other divination methods, you can ask the deity or spirit what they suggest you journal about for that entry in your devotional journal.
Depending on your style of divination and/or your interpretations this could be a specific topic or a more general area of life or self.
Example:
I asked Aphrodite for a card to represent a journal prompt, something I should or need to explore.
I pulled the 10 of swords which in the Spirit Halloween tarot deck has an image of a Gryphon.
Upright: Back-stabbed, defeat, crisis, betrayal, endings, loss
The gryphon gives me the vibe of relating to the public face of a being.
Overall this suggests I should write about how a painful or stressful change in my public image affects me and what I think that means.
Which is a rather hardcore topic to start with π
