I descend from English and Scots from all over England and Scotland. From Orkney to Devon.

I can help you start Heathenry, check out these sites: Norroena.org and Sedian.org

I would say my forebearer Alfred was wise, but he wasn't wise enough to return to the gods of his Folk.

So many individuals ask me directly about learning about Heathenry. Listen I started in 2014, I can definitely help you, I will point you to Mark Puryear, William Reeves, and Kyle Davis.

Brothers, Sister and Kinsmen seriously consider becoming Sedian. youtu.be/WyyOAKdrFTc?is=l77o…

The sacred is not made meaningful by escaping the world like in Buddhism, Christianity or Platonism but by understanding the divine significance of the world in which we live. Let us therefore approach existence with reverence, rather than contempt.

The world is not something to despise merely because it contains hardship, struggle, and death. It is the setting of divine activity, the dwelling of gods, land spirits and men. For me to honor the gods is to recognize the significance of this natural order they manifest.

Comparative religious study does not require religious assimilation.

We must understand Germanic religion on its own terms. We should not begin with the assumption that Germanic religion must conform to foreign systems: Platonism, Hermeticism, Buddhism, Abrahamic or any other external system before it can be considered intellectually meaningful..

We as Heathens need not transform our polytheism into monism, our gods into archetypes, or our ancestral cosmology into a foreign metaphysical system. The gods should not become philosophical abstractions in our attempt to make Heathenry intellectually respectable.

Remember that your days are numbered, not to make you fearful of life, but to teach you its worth.

The Hávamál teaches us to observe before speaking, to consider before acting, to recognize our limitations, and to understand the worth of a good reputation. We don't need Greek philosophy it's already in front of us in our ancestral lore.

There is wisdom in the counsel of the High One, lessons in the deeds of the gods, and warning in the fate of those who disregard wisdom of the gods. You ask me how to intepret myth well the ancestral lore it should not just be read but contemplated and put into practice.

Our ancestors have passed beyond the reach of our hands, but their memory remains with us.

The gods are not philosophical abstractions, nor are they mere symbols of human psychology. Always remember this.
