What are some signs that she may be wanting contact? I know this is a Goddess that wants contact. Either Nordic or celtic

witchwoodcrafts:

I would look out for things corresponding to Sigyn, making several appearances that are not related to you attempting to be in places where they would normally be found (aka, don’t be surprised to see a husky outside at the park! But, be surprised to hear it be mentioned on the radio, either as a brand name, or the dog type.)

Some correspondences of Sigyn’s are:

Colors: Green & Yellow (Associated with Faith)
Apple Trees
“The Star” or “Wand” cards in Tarot
Tigers, Turtles, Nuthatches, Grasshoppers
Look for people named “Iris” or “Heather”, or the flowers in large abundance or as gifts.
Also look for symbolism in Unicorns, Bowls (Basins), and the mention of Faith, Compassion, and Wifehood.

A general rule of thumb is to look for 3 unrelated signs within a period of a week. The signs must be experienced in places where it would be abnormal/rare or even impossible. Once you are able to confirm these 3 signs, ask Sigyn to create a sign especially for you, to confirm that it is her… Make up something that you wouldn’t see in every day life. For instance, a Purple Elephant, the mentioning of a certain poem, or symbol. It has to be something that is extremely rare to see, but not absolutely impossible/ridiculous. And don’t brush it off when you do see this sign! Seeing a picture of an elephant through a purple drink counts.

Members of the Family

Oh, damn. OK.

So, mother: Laufey, or Nal

Father: Farbauti

Wife: Sigyn

Other partner: Angrboða

Sons: Vali, Narfi, Jormungandr, Fenrir, Sleipnir

Daughter: Hel

Brothers: Byleistr, Helblindi

Now, “brothers” is where things get a leeeeettle murky. It’s not clear if They share the same parents as Loki. We don’t know anything much about His brothers. But Helblindi is also a name for Oðinn. Oðinn, like Loki, has two brothers, Hoenir and Loðurr. I particularly suspect – as some scholars have suggested – that Loðurr is another name for Loki, as He’s paired up with Hoenir and Oðinn in other stories as well. So are they blood brothers or brothers true? I wonder if that’s an important distinction.

a weird thing about having developed mental illness at such a young age is i honestly don’t know sometimes how much of me is a symptom and how much is down to personality, like i honestly do not know my core self and it troubles me A Lot

I kinda think that my core self is perpetually terrified and miserable and there’s no way to change that.

And that’s kinda terrifying and miserable…

I think the idea of a core self is a little bit misleading.  We are all sort of summaries of our experience.  Even the parts of us that don’t work like they should are still parts of us.  Some things can be fluid – as a personal example, the severity of my depression has fluctuated throughout my life.  I have periods of years where it’s mild, periods of years where it’s terrible, sometimes with periods of months or weeks where it slides back and forth on the scale.  But I wasn’t a different ‘me’ when my depression was different.  I was just having different particular difficulties at that time.

I only offer this because you (OP) said it troubles you a lot not knowing your core self.  I don’t actually know if thinking of it this way is helpful – that all of you is you, including the fucked up parts.  Even if your mental illness was not so severe, even if you suffered the same symptoms for an external reason, those experiences would still be part of who you are and you still would have adapted to respond to them.  Maybe you’re ALWAYS you, and the only thing that changes is how difficult it is to be you right now.

They like to play hide and seek, but Sigyn always finds them.

They plan pranks on their father, but Loki always knows when to expect something because Sigyn starts to giggle.

They like to watch horror movies with Hela, but Vali covers Narfi’s eyes during the scary parts with a hoodie.

Narfi making a flower crown for Vali, who bashfully accepts it.

Narfi dressing up as a kitsune for Halloween and dragging Vali around in a werewolf costume.

Vali convincing Narfi to stay up stargazing. Narfi packs a picnic basket. They catch fireflies together.

Watch: This revolutionary technology is changing the world for kids born without limbs 

That’s awesome and I’m sure its way cheaper than a prosthetic, but seriously it cannot be cheap to 3d print something that big…

this one 17 year old guy 3d printed an entire arm and shoulder for himself and it cost him $250

this seven year old girl got half an arm (just like lusie in the gifs) 3d printed and it only cost $50

can we just compare that with the average price of buying a prosthetic

3d printing is gonna help so many people holy crap
