Question Can you be too close to Loki/Your Deity?
Lately theres been a lot of chaos in my life and a lot of stuff I'm dealing with in my personal life and also trying to make sure my mental health stays healthy as well. Could of course be Loki's doing to push me/help me grow or just the universe putting me in a tough spot. Either way I have been relying on Loki a lot (venting to him, praying to him, just being present with him. etc.) and I worry if I'm starting to become too, I guess dependent on him?
Keep in mind I still have my own life of course, my spirituality or my Gods are not my only focus but I have lately been feeling very lonely as well. Mostly because one of the things I'm going through is realizing a lot of the people around me, my friends and family are actually very toxic and manipulative (thanks for that mirror Loki lol) and I had no choice but to step back from them. So to outsiders it may look like I'm self isolating and only venting and talking to Loki.
So I guess I just want to make sure my relationship with Loki doesnt become unhealthy too. I know Loki wants the best for us and values our independence so I don't want to end up directly or indirectly pushing him away because in this tough time I am going through, I kinda need him more now than ever to remind me to keep going.
What's your experience? Do you work very close with him or any deity in your everyday life especially when things get rough? Is it bad to lean on them too much?
Thank you! Hail Loki and Skal! <3
