My spiritual practice is not Scandinavian-based, but I have been enjoying watching this series on Nordic witchcraft. This video in particular, highlighting the importance of maintaining a good relationship between spirits of the place and nature spirits. Anything that promotes hospitality and reciprocity, I am all for.
Romans 12:12-13 (NIV) - Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
The Vestalia is a Festival held in ancient Rome, beginning each year on June 7th, in honor of the Goddess Vesta. A deity of the home and all things domestic, Vesta is associated with hearth fires and hospitality. In her honor, you can use fire today to bless the dwelling for all who enter it. Do this working at sundown, sitting by a window on the west side of your home.
Light the candle, and place it in the bowl. Hold up the pool to the window, so you can see the candle flame and the setting sun. Say “Fire warm us, fire guide us, fire light our way. Happy home, happy hearth, hospitality is here to stay.”
Stay by the window until the sun has set and extinguish the candle.

Architectural rendering for an architecture firm’s client presentation. Hotel Lazar will be a five-star hotel on West 44th St in Manhattan. I worked from their drawings and a few SketchUp renderings.

If I was over at someone’s house and they made me wait in another room while their family had dinner, I would go full 1085 CE mode. You’ve broken the sacred laws of hospitality and my family clan is at war with you now.
I hate how white people invented the we don’t owe each other anything mindset
Someone from the Uk Here!
Maybe it was just how I was raised, but I was taught to clear off when dinner was being cooked like it was rude to hang around and expect to be fed by another person’s family unless you’ve been invited round specifically for dinner/lunch
Hi person with common sense that isn’t from the uk here i think the english are demonic
Hi there, hello! Person from the UK here - I dont tend to stay at the table unless something peaked my interest.
Another person from the UK here, Wales to be exact. It’s considered rude to not offer guests food and drink, especially if you’re having a meal. The guest was invited therefore you better offer them food since you told them to come. If you’re not having a meal or they’re only staying for a bit you should still ask if they want a cup of tea and, if you know them well, ask if they’d like any biscuits, cake or something to go with.
Exactly! When I had a friend over, we fed said friend. Same meal as we would have been having had I not asked my friend to come over.
I’d rather saw my leg off with a spoon than intentionally force a guest to go hungry while I eat in front of them
