    Is Cherry-picking Okay?

    Tariqs words, not mine. He refers to what he perceives to be shared european values such as democracy, religious and gender/sexual equality.

    Do Pagans face discrimination and prejudice for their beliefs?

    A primary issue in many countries is our connection to neo-nazis. The original German nazis appropriated the norse rune system of magic and writing, and neo-nazis still use both those and the hammer of Thor. Further complicating the matter is that neo-nazis have seized control of the largest...

    Journey Working

    Well, have I got help for you :D I was trained in journeying in the peruvian shamanist tradition, then carried on my drum and dream work when I found heathenry. If you want to journey by drum, you basically cannot go wrong with James Harners amazing work, Way of the Shaman, which explains in...

    Woodburned Offering Bowl

    Amazing, I feel like an amateur now, LOL I have never known Orion's Belt to be connected to Thor or lightning, can you expound on that? Here in northern europe, we know it as Frigg's Distaff/Spindle.

    Seiðr and Ergi

    I have no strong opinion on the traditional meanings of the term ergi, though as a queer cismale and magic practicioner, I understand that my practice of seidr and shamanism will carry a certain stigma, even among non-nazitru traditional pagans. Let it! They will come to me when worried about...

    What are the runes to you?

    I use them primarily on objects and my body as magically active means of warding my health and spiritual tools. I'd like to get into using them for augury as well, but I have a lot of other things going on there (drum journeys, dream sights) that I'd rather wait with that.

    Heilung - Lifa

    If that tickles your fancy, make sure to check out some of their prior projects, particularly Valravn: (Come All Creatures - a petition to the spirits of stones, woods and heath to give and show power to the singer) (Brave in Rose-garth - a classic medieval song about a pagan youth who...

    Is Cherry-picking Okay?

    Welcome SearchingForGod! I know a bunch of LBGT muslims (I help them set up a space for salons and debates here in Denmark, a country with a lot of hang-ups about muslims unfortunately), and several are devout. As they see it, Islam can be reformed much the same as christianity and judaism...

    Hindus, Heathens, Pagans, etc etc... What do you think?

    Norse heathen reconstructionist here. There are a bunch I haven't heard of, but I'll try to write some lines on those I do and offer general opinion afterwards. Buddhism: The incredible focus on right action is extremely endearing and a lot of buddhists are fine people. The rejection of the...

    I think I know why I can't find the right religion for myself.

    I think it was always the will of the gods for us to be our own form of the religion. Organization leads to legalism, and legalism leads to confusion and wrong actions. Perhaps it would be good for you to research syncretic or universalist patterns. I am a norse pagan, but also believe in the...

    Racism in Heathenry

    You know what, you're probably right. I just get really depressed because, at least in the case of the AFA and the Danish movement, nearly all public figures associated with our ways, are quoting neo-nazi nonsense and saying it's heathenry. Christians seem spoiled by comparison. Here in DK we...

    New member, greetings!

    Hi everyone! I'm DanishCrow, a 33 year old bird enthusiast and college student from Denmark, and also a practicioner of Forn Sidr, reconstructing belief in the norse gods and the wealth of spirits and powers found in the natural world. In my spare time, I play a lot of RPGs, arrange festivals...

    Racism in Heathenry

    This is completely true, but does not get at the heart of the matter: That we deal with a LOT higher racist-to-nonracist ratio than most other religions. Here in Denmark, the official aesir/vanir movement has it's leadership couped by a saga-illiterate blot group who are also neo-nazis and...

    Interfaith Thoughts Requested

    I came to the path of religion via the practice of shamanism: the use of a drum or rattle to enter alternate realities, places that are generally understood to be closer to the divine than the realm we live in. Here, I could talk to spirits and gods, and learn from them, rather than from the...
