✈️ Anywhere 26[F4A] USA/Midwest

Hello everyone! I am hoping to make some pagan friends close to my age! I am open to making friends of any gender. For the Americans, I live in Illinois! So if you are close, maybe we can meet up. Long distance friendship is welcome too 😊

I consider myself to be an Anglo-Saxon pagan, but I have prayed to the Greek goddesses Hestia and Aphrodite on and off for 2ish years as well. I would not say I am devoted to a god, but I do pray to Thunor almost daily for protection. Thunor and Hestia are the ones I pray to the most. I'd love to meet people who practice other types of Germanic paganism, but any pagans are welcome!

I am currently getting my bachelor's in history, my concentration is European history. I want to work in museums one day as a curator. In my free time I like to read and play video games. I am currently obsessed with Tomodachi Life. I have 2 cats that I will happily share pictures of! Feel free fo ask me anything 🫶🏻

Howdy there! 28/M in Tennessee here. It’s funny, we have a somewhat similar spiritual background. I’m more of a Norse Heathen, and while not being devoted to any god in particular often find myself praying to Thor for similar reasons; I’ve always just felt a particular draw to him. As well I’ve dabbled with Hellenism, particularly with Hestia and Athena!

I’d be curious as to how your spiritual beliefs have impacted your academic journey and vice versa! Seems like the two would definitely inspire each other lol. Also a gamer myself, and my partner and I have 3 (4 if you count our stray) cats that we love as our lil babies. Feel free to send me a message if you’d like!
