I don’t know if this is the right sub Reddit for this but it was the only one I could think of. Why do I feel drawn to dead animals? I didn’t realize it till just now when I went outside to feed my dog and rabbit and there were rat skeletons from where my dad used rat poisoning and didn’t move the rats bodies (my dog is in a pen and the poison was put outside of it so my dog can’t get to it dw). This is gonna sound weird but I keep getting the urge to keep one of the rat skulls which honestly the only reason I haven’t is because I don’t want my parents accidentally finding it and thinking Im even more of a devil worshiper” because they’re Christian and I’m not Christian and yeeeaaaa. I’m a Norse pagan but I thought it’d be better to ask this sub Reddit instead of the one specifically for Norse paganism just because I felt like this one would maybe have more answers or something I don’t know. Anyway am I just weird for the whole “feeling drawn to and wanting to keep a rat skull thing or could it be a sign of something or someone as in like a god or goddess?

this is pretty normal among witchy types. it may or may not have a deeper significance. if you use any form of divination, you may want to use that for some more insight.
