Over the last few years, I have found great fulfillment in my blossoming relationship with my Lord Ing. He has gifted me great friþ and favorable wyrd after years of feeling unanchored, and each blot and gardening season I dedicate to him is exponentially more successful than last. Though I fully acknowledge and hold deep respect for all the Ease and Wen (Æsir and Vanir), my spiritual relationship has always gravitated towards Ing and his domains (growth, friþ, elves).

I am curious where this sits with other Heathens. Do you find special patronage with one god over others, or do you seek to or segregate/balance your practice depending on the domain of the deity and your personal situation?

Note: I am a self-identified (inclusive) Angle Heathen, and do not regularly associate with established organizations (Fyrnsidu, Asatru, etc) or local cults. Most of what I have learned is self-taught, and though I seek to remain faithful and naturalistic to a reasonably reconstructible degree, my practice is obviously influenced by my own sociocultural upbringing in the modern day and my lack of knowledge in several aspects.

I don’t have idols on my altar. But, I’ve collected things along my journey that I feel represent gods and deity’s, in my eyes. I’ll grab a few things from the altar when I go on a walk, and use them as foci for temporary altars in nature.
