Hi guys
Can I ask how do you work with deities?
I feel that my sacred deity is Hel, I felt an immediate conection to her and feel that she's been tapping my shoulder through out my life in very subtle ways.
I find that when ever I try to work with anything I try and meditate on it and get a small snap shot and then lose it. And I sometimes think I've made things up in my head because "it's too good to be true" as I had a conversation with Freya and one with Hel in my minds eye I could see and hear them.
I imagine Hel is a very busy woman (sorry if saying that is disrespectful but I tend to think of spirits, gods ect like people) so she may not have the time to talk with me much.
Also how do you give blood to things when you dedicate them and such because I tried to and just couldn't get much blood and when I pricked my finger I felt it go through but it didn't bleed at all (curse my calloused fingers) I didn't want to cut any deeper than a shallow slash though I case I hit something. (sorry if that's a bit gross btw)
Thanks for reading
Blessings
