It was never strict and we were non-practicing but I was sent to a Catholic school and got really into Catholicism; I was the president of the St Vincent de Paul society/mini vinnies in school, became the Catholic social teachings mentor, read at masses, attended as may services as possible.

Yet in less than a year I stopped believing in God. Because I can’t imagine any of it happening. All of Jesus’ story feels so not real to me, I can’t bring myself to imagine them as real people that this happened to. Is there any way I can regain my faith?

I’m English and have never felt much pride in my culture. From past colonisation, decapitating people and witch hunts there’s not much to celebrate. I’ve been searching for stuff that I can research and learn about to feel more connected to my country and its history without just feeling like a demon

I’ve got an autistic hyperfixation on Greek Mythology and after learning everything there is to know about it I want to discover other pantheons. And then I found Norse mythology and thought ‘hey. That’s the Viking’s. Didn’t the Vikings venture to England?’

And so I’ve been trying to find out if this is a silly thought or if Norse Myths actually have something to do with England. But I don’t know if the sources that are saying yes are credible and then I’ll learn about it and feel silly when it’s nothing to do with me.

So who’s more credible than the Norse Myth Reddit sub??? So yeah, does Norse Mythology have anything to do with England?

Mine’s not TOO niche but it died out 2019-2020ish. My one is Magnus Chase and the gods of Asgard. What’s yours?
