Heathen Board

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...

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
