So I'm looking into Norse Paganism (which, funnily enough, is actually my heritage O_o) and searching some blogs of other people who practice this.
And now I've run into this strange phenomenon. People who believe they are actually married to these dieties. Like being married to Odin, or Thor, or on the Greek side of things, being married to Apollo or Hermes (or both).
I have to say, whatever your thoughts on religion... this is kooky as hell. How can you be married to someone who isn't even present for the marriage ceremony? I mean, granted, Catholic Nuns are supposed to be married to God, but I don't think they think of it the same way as these people think of it.
Don't even get me started on the fact that they somehow allow these gods to dictate to them what they should wear or how they should keep their hair. Ladies (and men, though I haven't found any yet), that's not how religion or spirituality works. If you're actually hearing voices, that's not Thor or Odin, that's your brain going kookoo.
Normally, I'd provide links for this, but for the sake of not accidentally importing drama through rubbernecking, I'll abstain :V This is more a topic about the concept itself, rather than any individual person.
