Listening to SKÁLD today, which is a French band with music similar to Faun and Wardruna, inspired by Norse mythology, mostly with lyrics in Old Norse.

[Editorial] FBI Director Kash Patel’s “see you in Valhalla” remark was less tribute than theater, misappropriating sacred imagery to perform warrior culture for the cameras and revealing a new depth to America’s culture wars.

New home for Norse Pagans
With the impending closure of this community’s, I have become mod for [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] I know neither community is terribly active. But I still want a place for us.
Could not find my tarot deck (probably packed away) but found my runes!
This is my bootleg altar for now, under my computer monitor.
Getting ordained as a Norse Pagan (US)?
I performed my first marriage ceremony this week. It was very sudden, so I had no time to prepare. Almost 20 years ago I was ordained by the Church of Spiritual Humanism, however the registration info was very outdated, so I registered with the Universal Life Church. But I would like to register as a Norse Pagan.
I finished this last weekend. It’s a great introduction to Norse Paganism. The author stands firm against fascism. In fact, one reason I picked it up is because, when you read reviews, all of the 1’s are because it’s too “woke” and antifa. Not sure what’s wrong with being antifascist…..Anyway, that and the focus on animism was great as well as his quick but informative explanation of the pantheon, Yggdrasil, and the myths. I really felt very comfortable and kind of “at home” with everything he presented, and I’ve already picked up the follow up book. While I’ll most likely never call myself anything but eclectic, I will definitely be incorporating some of this into my practice (more about this in a later post, perhaps). The only thing is the first exercise, which is for the breath, gives me panic attacks. Maybe I’m doing something wrong? I have other approaches, though, for getting into a relaxed and open state that don’t make me feel like I’m going to pass out and will use those for the rest of the exercises instead. All in all, I highly recommend this.

I am having a hard time expressing my thoughts on what happened yesterday. My heart is heavy, and it aches.
I feel called to deities surrounding death right now, for they understand what it is like to transform rot and decay into something that nourishes. I hope the we all can feel called to transform this rot and decay into love, compassion, action, connection, and change.
