for now of course!

Again i want to say again how intersting this thread is...

But can i ask how people relate to-understand- be in contact with their different Gods of Magic-

Do people ask for ability to do magic? Ask for a blessing, maybe, when doing a ritual?
Or maybe the act of 'doing magic' is like sliding into something.

Um..

Not sure what i'm trying to get at here. Bit late and i'm really not sure what i'm trying to articulate so i'll leave it for now.

I usually ask for homework. Sometimes I ask for help with magical workings. But mostly homework.

Well, I do work with Freya and the other Vanir, but I haven't tended to actively court Their help with learning magic except for getting Their improving my skill in posessory work that directly involves Them. Though hmm, those skills directly relate to a lot of other Seidh skills, so I suppose it all comes around in the end.

Aside from that, I have occasionally asked for direct intervention on Their part, but I usually leave the method up to Them, rather than asking for Them to give me an ability I don't already have.

I have found myself discussing magical theory in dreams, in journey or meditation, and with posessed mediums with various gods and spirits, but rarely because I prompted for instruction.

Quantum sez "but a story perpetuated by a whole culture and invested with meaning beyond entertainment."

Seems like as good a pathway to godhood as any...

Besides Odin, in Germanic/Norse mythology Freya & Loki both are magic workers. Freya taught magic to Odin (or at least some flavours) originally.
