Thor and Freya (the latter because of my cats, before it was Frigga).

Re: Patron gods
I feel closest to Geofon, but I think it might have something to do with my nature being closer to hers than any other deity. Others come and go at different times - lately Neorth, Thunor and Frige have been very important to me. I connect with Freo quite a lot too, but for me she's very closely connected with Geofon, so they come almost as a pair.

Re: Patron gods
Not quite patrons but right now I relate most to Wodan (wanderer seeking for wisdom) and Donar (the big picture can go entertain itself for a while, lets deal with what's right in front of us!)
Im sure it will change as I mature in life and in Lore

Re: Patron gods
I can't say I truly have a patron god as such, I do sort of trend towards Odin, Freya and Thor though. These three provide my balance between wisdom (Odin), courage (Thor) and life/rebirth (Freya).

Re: Patron gods
Freyja was the one who called me to heathery to start with. Before I understood she was a goddess, I liked her image and personality and she was my role model so to speak. She is the one I feel most connected too.

Re: Patron gods
I'm probably too inexperienced in Heathenry just yet to decide upon a patron God. As a martial artist, writer and general "wisdom-seeker", I'd like to think Odin would be my patron God, although I'm far from that decision just yet.

Re: Patron gods
I've done various forms of Kung Fu like Northern Shaolin, several different Animal Styles, Kenpo, Western Boxing, Krav Maga. Northern Shaolin was my most "formal" style, as I was taught by a master. But, I have family members who have trained in martial arts and I learned most from them
