I do not refer to the Aesir as Gods, what's your take.
Monotheists and Atheists are put off by any mention of gods. Some have prenotions that cause them to stonewall or worse become aggressive, this creates an us vs. them situation. When I refer to the gods I call them the Aesir or ancestors. I have never had to prove the existence of my ancestors or ex...

Now after 10 posts, I should probably say hello.
Hello, I used to be on this board a while back, do not remember my screen name but since then I've dug up quite a bit more about heathenism and my family's past connection with it. I've made some startling discoveries by complete accident and would like to share them with the community. From time to...

Re: Libertarians
Nope, your all wrong. <--That's supposed to be a sarcastic joke, I know that text does not add emotion required to get this, some will be offended by it, so I added this note. The heavily centralized government concept must hold a belief that there exists a single solution that will be effective to ...

Re: Pascal's Wager
Could it be that humans adapt to their environment and that if Christians, Jews, and Muslims had lived in a colder environment they would act more as Heathens and adopt customs that resembled Heathenry. When Iceland was young, the people who were moving there were Norse who had already converted to ...

Re: Greetings!
Welcome, We have a lot in common and your story is exactly mirroring my own convictions and how I came to them. They are still much incomplete, but I think this video of a Norse Viking rein-actor is actually quite educational and may interest you. H8EAHpDp1go There are many types of Heathen, from th...

Re: First Americans might've been Europeans
If you want to know the past of this country, why not ask the Native Americans themselves. They know where they come from. This is the Creation Story of the Mescalero tribe of the Apache Nation. Note that the mother of their tribe is called "White Painted Woman", wonder how she got that na...

Re: Taking the Lore literally?
I need to read Snorri's stuff but from what I've read about it through comments and reviews, his stories were the Heathen tales that have been Christianized to a degree. I think there may be a potential that many waves of migrations came through Europe each one attaching their story or beliefs or hi...

Re: Possiblities
So next I'd like to add to Snorri's case that the Aesir had a connection with Asia. Obviously neither he nor I am suggesting they come from the far east but Asia minor instead. Although I am not sure if he pin pointed a place of origin (for I have not read Snorri's work) but there was a place in Ira...

Possiblities
Please don't banter or worse yet tyrannize me for simply bringing up some amusing possibilities because they do not fit your belief structure, but myths and legends have a basis in fact, and I am suggesting possibility for further study. In May of 2010 the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthr...
