I see Odinic symbolism everywhere recently, especially in connection with sacrificing his eye and hanging in Yggdrasil pierced with Gungnir.

Also, Shiva came to me during mediation it seems to offer support - he manifested in me as if my spirit and His were fused, and I/we had 4 arms instead of 2 in open receiving posture.

I’m new to occult, recently left the Eastern Orthodox Church, now consider myself a Gnostic Hermeticist.

In any case, being new to these gods, I’m not sure how to express gratitude and acceptance for their support. What I’ve read online seems kinda shallow, I’m used to lighting incense and chanting 30-90 minutes ritualistic prayer services in veneration of Saints and holy events or artifacts/relics.

Also, any insights or personal interpretations about what it may mean to be seeing shiva and Odin in this manner are welcome. But I think I already understand it as pointing to a total destruction of my old character and a spiritualization of my previously very materialistic personality.
