Rain in an Oak Forest by Ivan Shishkin 1891
Few others appreciate the beauty and joys of the rain quite so much as those in the North, to the point we invented a wistful wondrous word for the scent it leaves after it has graced the land, Petrichor. @Hyperborean Radio (Uncensored)

The Approach
One thing you notice as you reach out to the old gods is their approachability.
For someone who is not accustomed to extending a hand in friendship to a deity, this might seem as a daunting, or quite possibly a jubilant opportunity.
Then again there are those who could care less, and that is ok too.
One does not have to sacrifice cattle at an altar dedicated to (insert god name) to gain their attention and petition for blessing.
It is not necessary to perform an obscure rite on the first full moon of the new solstice to say hello.
Gods are also not bottled genies, who submit to every beck and call for blessings and favors. They have their own wants, desires and dislikes that they are privy to, just like we are.
So, if you feel that petitions to your patron deity have gone unanswered, or your devoted dedications of ceremony are going unheard, do not be dismayed.

It might not be that the gods do not like you, that you were not devout enough, or not enough heroic deeds were done in their name. It may be none of these.
They may just be busy.
Keep it simple. Start off with saying hello, and be honest. They can smell a bullshitter a mile away, and that’s never a good way to start off any relationship.
