Asking Bente Your Questions {Ft. The Norse Witch}

[@proofreadersandi]

In my experience, Hecate was like “why the fuck are you doubting yourself? Get back to work.” I totally agree with Olivia! I needed this from her at the time. It was like “you know what to do, what do you need me for” but then she would leave signs throughout my reality that were crazy amazing 🤩

[@runecleric]

I've heard "why would God do for you what She could teach you to do for yourself" and honestly, I think about that a lot.

[@runecleric]

I tend to think of deities in the same way I think about the people I know. I, personally, wear a lot of different hats so I assume deities do too. My experiences are often "harsh mother" vibes, but I honestly don't wanna listen sometimes so maybe it's what is NEEDED to get me to pay attention? Maybe the mask She wears when She speaks to others is soft and gentle, but if She wore that one with me I might not be paying attention to Her, ya know?

[@Ally-vk9sk]

Can I just say how STUNNINGLY gorgeous of a human Bente is? I am always in awe when they pop on my feed

[@emm1luvr]

theyre both so lovely, visually and energetically🖤

[@janwig9347]

I have this overwhelming urge to hold their hand and stare into their eyes. This is only the second video I've seen with them. I've been holding a little crush on Olivia too😉

[@freddy-i-guess946]

I always find it really interesting when Olivia talks about her experience with Hekate, fyi my experience with her is the loving of not exasperated way - because in my upg entities behave differently depending on whether you come for a relationship or a specific learning moment alone

[@danilovescoffee]

Just finished watching the video in Bente's channel. Can't wait to watch this one 😊 Love y'all both!

[@TheNamelessSoulSovereign]

Saaaaame! lol

[@annagroesbeck9673]

As an eclectic practitioner I love the question about working with different pantheons at the same time.

[@pennyrowe9705]

Books by Morgan Daimler are excellent! They go back to the original lore and translate from the traditional languages. They have written a book on Freya, Thor, Odin, and The Norse Pantheon. These would help you to start to become familiar with the Norse Gods and the lore that was written about them by their original believers.

[@LearningToLiveWithM.S.]

Cheese, chocolate and photos. That's all I need from a trip!💜

[@afwifekari]

I had a tree as a child that I climbed and sat in for hours and I miss that tree so much. I live close by so I drive by but never stop because it’s in someone’s yard. I plan to get some leaves from it this fall to frame because it’s on the edge of the property.

[@kassyrlee]

Proof of the Norse and Greek here 😊 Odin is my AllFather but Nyx is my matron Goddess, both very much about creativity, poetry, survival, resilience, experience.

[@littlepixiechic]

I was so excited to see you two work together 😊 I love seeing the different experiences and perspectives, especially when it's witchy

[@tiara424777]

Love!!! How can we do the underworld ancestor meditation??

[@tupecktherappingparrot4345]

SRA/SA Survivor’s circle nightly 9p-1 PST till theres justice/reparations/gubmint acocuntability in usa. We will be working toward those magival goals and peeps can join from home at those times in prayer/meditation/dance energy and send energy to our circle. Pees can use this time to honor lost ones to this. We’re lobbing what they taught us back at them till theres justice. Somw of us still practice better ways than we were taught. But since we have these skills lets use them till survivors of the wrong way get justice. Hope to see ya there in spirit witches!

[@EmilyVanDerHell]

Nope, no cream soda here in Germany. And yes, it is sooo goooood! 🖤

[@the_Jollyface]

I really liked the syncretism answer!

[@venizmaja20]

That ancestor meditation sounds really interesting!!!

[@pennyrowe9705]

Loved watching both of your videos today.🙂

[@rooboatdeer22yu51]

WHERE IS YOUR BEAUTIFUL SWEATER FROM? Have you been knitting? Gosh i love cozy things

[@thepeonyreign]

Love y'all together!! On the note of Roman and Norse gods together on one altar: Jupiter did not agree. His offering candle left a big black mark on my wall. I was planning on moving them to their separate spaces but Jupiter did not want to wait. Worship them in their own ways, but working with them in a ritual is fine. Make sure there is mutual respect.

[@witchofverdure]

The answer to the witchcraft slump 😂 I'm similar. I've dropped everything for months because I just *do not* have the energy. The most I've done is dust where I do my workings

[@joeycreekmore]

The coding job thing made me so happy because I really want to go into engineering and coding but I thought i was weird because I believe in witchcraft. So thank you for that.

[@jenniferleftwich7]

Cream soda is so good it's a big thing here in the south, by the way thank you guys so much for sharing this with us I really enjoyed it

[@newmoonheart2592]

One of my offering trees passed and I cried so hard. I miss him everyday.

[@hkqtt]

Love you both!

[@brentmartin1981]

This is the collaboration I didn't know I needed until now. I loved the trip to Iceland videos.

[@kariikosmos3005]

The graveyards and cemeteries in Iceland where out of this world! So magical! Maybe it's just cause north america doesn't have the length of history that Europe has and I've never been anywhere else but it was so mesmerizing to walk through the rows

[@proofreadersandi]

I edit self-published books 😮I 100000% agree with what Olivia said about publishing

[@TheNamelessSoulSovereign]

Honestly, I question someone's truth when they say things like "Hecate is so kind and nurturing." Or the same thing with the Morrigan. They're called Dark Goddesses for a reason. They are tough love beings that demand blood, sweat and effort. If you want kind and nurturing Quan Yin and Brigid have always been moreso that energy for me personally. Not my place to say, but still, can't help but feel that way... lol

[@aakeilah]

I think it depends on what you define as nurturing and kind. Tough love to me is seen as kind because I needed that in the moment and sometimes I don't. The darker goddesses never come to me as this super mean energy, but as a let's get things done. We will all have different experiences because were all different people.

[@claireofthewoods]

Hiiii! I miss you too!! Skaði sounds like a bad*ss! 🖤🖤🖤

[@jenniferleftwich7]

I'm really glad to know I'm not the only woman that does not like to cook I can't stand to cook and I don't really know how to 😂, I have had to cook for my kids for almost 18 years, so yeah I'm good 😂😂

[@silentm0th]

7:30 It's definitely not just you. Freyja was the same way with me!

[@The_British_Witch]

I immediately thought Skaði 😅 Skaði and Ullr are my two favourites from Norse Mythology.

[@cursecuelebre5485]

For Hekate, she is a mother that loves her children but doesn’t sugarcoat or take no bullshit things from you. It’s a two way street effort and not everyone is going to experience the same goddess. I don’t think she comes to everyone with love and light but she isn’t a stand off or distant goddess but a practical entity that will put a mirror to your face.

[@mmb196]

With the upmost respect- how would you know if a deity wanted you to read 6 books and compile the information? Like what would be the sign?

[@Gojusama]

Yeesssss❤

[@killymunster9757]

Beautiful Goddesses!!!

[@Neiscience]

I Love all of this, Thank you. Time too conjure loki... but i am loki..... do i make twin loki>< realy though

[@katrinahohbein1486]

That's definitely my experience with the Morrigan, not going to kiss your booboos. Instead its more like "you learned that lesson the hard way, bandage kit is in the cupboard. Ill supervise as you use it" kinda thing

[@Camille_Lee_Eon]

❤

[@robertheideman8241]

I'm a wizard in wisconsin. Can I be on your show?

[@kalagodin2906]

I got a nope from freya...

[@TheNamelessSoulSovereign]

For the Q? on which Norse Gods Olivia would work well with, the first thing I thought were "The Norns." 😍

[@WisdomClarity]

You’re doing everything with your breath because you’re breathing during those times.

[@WisdomClarity]

The spirits telling you what you don’t want to do are demons hun.

[@TheWitchOfWonderlust]

Not always, hun.
