[sereonhardware]

I found this old drawing of Skirnir and Freyr and when I saw it I actually started yelling slurs

Is it normal to run up to your male friend slash servant like you’re a damsel in distress and put your hand on his shoulder, very concerned. The answer is no he’s a fag

[sigyn-foxyposts]

Freyr: Skírnir why do you flirt with me whenever you're fixing my cloak? Skírnir: That’s called an act of service, my lord. Gerðr: You blush when he smiles, dumbass. Skírnir: I blush when anyone smiles. This is a hostile environment.

Skirnir’s full design / redesign

Since he was originally Celtic before Freyr snatched him up, His original name is Nechtan Mac Tairdelbach. But Freyr couldn’t pronounce it correctly or write it down so he came up with Skirnir instead.

Deity Spotlight: Gerðr

AKA Gerð, Gerdr, Gerd, and Gerthr

(Some people translate the ð to a d, and some to a th. We use a d because it has yielded more search results.)

Quick Facts:

Tribe: Jötunn by birth, Vanir by marriage

Domain: Fertility and Abundance

Parents: Gymir and Aurboda

Spouse: Freyr

Child: Fjölnir

Mythologically Backed Facts (VPG)

Gerdr is a goddess of abundance and fertility. She was born a Jötunn, one of the giants, but she is considered a Vanir goddess thanks to her marriage with Freyr (more on their love story in a bit). Both her parents, Gymir and Aurboda, were Jötunns. With Freyr, she had one child, Fjölnir. Fjölnir is said to have become the king of what we now call Sweden, making him the first of the Ynglings.

Gerdr and Freyr's Love Story: One day, while sitting on Odin's throne, viewing the nine realms, Freyr saw a beautiful Jötunn, Gerdr. I have seen sources disagree on if Njord, Freyr's father, or Freyr himself sent Skirnir, but either way, Skirnir was given Freyr's magical sword in exchange for him wooing Gerdr for Freyr.

Skirnir tried to persuade Gerdr into coming with him to meet and marry Freyr, but it is said she refused. Skirnir is then said to have resorted to threats, under which Gerdr agrees.

Once they wed, Gerdr became a Vanir goddess. It is also said that Freyr will die in Ragnarok because he gave up his sword.

My Experiences (UPG)

We love working with Gerdr. She is so sweet! She is a big part of our practice, along with Freyr. For us, she has a very kind and loving energy. We often compare her vibe to a gentle wind rustling through tree leaves.

We take walks with her out in nature, we have a candle for her, and we cook with her! We've found that she really likes shades of green, golden yellow, and certain shades of brown.

She is very understanding and an amazing deity to work with.

As always, if we get anything wrong, please let us know nicely! If you have any questions, feel free to ask!!

A Question for Other Rune Readers Regarding Odin's involvement with Your Readings

I have a question for other Rune Readers, especially if Your relationship with Odin is chaotic, inconsistant, or not the greatest in the least. What do You do when Odin has possibly messed up Your readings? Or how do You deal with Odin if You believe He has caused problems with Your readings? I'm currently having issues with My Rune readings, I think Odin might have caused some problems, and while I am investigating the situation to determin if Odin is causing Me problems or not, I want to ask other Rune Readers if You have experienced anything like this, and if so, what did You do to fix the issue?

I'm currently working on strengthening My ability to read the Runes, so I can get to a point where I feel as comfortable and confident reading Them as well as I do with Ogham. Not to say that I'm terrible at reading the Runes, mind You, but I have far more experience with Ogham over the years, and I trust Ogham, and My relationship with Them, on a level that I don't with Runes. And I'm hoping to fix it by working on My general practice, My ritual format and setup, the protocols that I set in motion when reading Runes, and everything else that goes into the overall process.

I did a long session of reading with the Runes yesterday and it turned out to be an experience in epic failure. Not only did everything that could go wrong did indeed go wrong, the reading itself turned out to be one of the worst readings I've ever done in My life. I called upon Odin as I usually do, but I also called upon Skirnir as well for the ritual I did beforehand, and the reading that proceeded afterwards. My relationship with Odin is currently on rocky ground, and I'm slowly working on figuring out where things are going with that regarding Him, as well as several other Deities. I called on Skirnir for two reasons: One, because Frey asked Me to get to know Him and hopefully build a good working relationship with Him. And two, because I have been looking for an alternative DDeity, Being, Spirit, etc, to help Me on a working level if things with Odin fall apart completely.

Like I said, I need to do a little investigating to see if Odin had a hand in anything going wrong yesterday, and I plan on doing that sometime later today once I get cleaned up. I plan on pulling out and reading with My primary set of Ogham to help Me investigate this situation. That being said, I'd like to know if any other Rune Readers have had any problems with Odin, and if so, what do You do to navigate such a situation?
