Asatru

[Grimr]

Is there any other Norse pagans or Asatru folk here?

[Carla O'Harris]

Vanatru Wiccan here.

[Gyda]

I lean more towards the Anglo-Saxons myself, but yes there are a number of Asatru and Norse Pagans here.

[Nitefalle]

I'm a Celto-Germanic pagan, here. Still very much in the learning process.

[Grimr]

Even though I am German I practice the Icelandic and Norwegian practices more because they had more written records I suppose and it helps me put things in place of my own beliefs.


I am really glad to see others here.

This makes me feel really happy.

[seapearls]

Yes I'm Heathen also, I study all of our sources, German, Icelandic & A-S. There are some wonderful Heathens on the board, so please ignore the Wiccatru babble, everyone else does. Welcome to the board.

How long have you been practicing? ( I hate that word lol)

[Malcolm]

I'm lokean.

What Wiccatru babble are you referring to? I most certainly hope that you are not attempting to slander a heathen like myself, or we are going to have words ...

5 years before that I have been studying world religions for most of my life.

[Grimr]

I guess you can say I was a young starter at many things.

While the rest of the kids at school would talk about the latest music or subculture I would be the one studying world cultures and religions.

Yeah, but don't hold that against the Heathens here :rotfl:

Howdy, Grimr, welcome to the madness. http://bestsmileys.com/oneofakind/9.gif :hahugh:

PS to Carla: You may have all the words you wish, dear, but I prefer bacon...

mmm, bacon... ya know, pork truly is the meat of kings...

[KellyP]

I am a Celto-Germanic sort. Basically studying the tribes that wandered in and through the northwestern - northcentral regions of Europe.

Gotta love the Wodanaz, Tiawaz and Dunor!

I am always fascinated by the Celtic and Germanic similarities of beliefs or customs.

[SSanf]

I am close to a number of Asatru and do worship with them from time to time.

Here is a GREAT site about Asatru.

[Carla O'Harris]

How about Yggdrasiltru? I'd say the Aesir themselves are primarily oriented towards the health of the Tree, and are Yggdrasiltru.

[Rick]

...maybe... or maybe Idunnatru...

Cool thanks for the site. :hahugh:

[Malcolm]

What is that?

I hang out with Loki most of the time.

There are some good folks here. Rick is one of them. That kid has forgotten more about the runes than most folks will ever know.

My vanic sister Carla, she gets a bit spikey every now and again, but her heart is in the right place. Honestly she is one of my favorite people here. Always ready for a scrap...I like that. I can't pass by the oportunity to say that YES, I am the only person on the boards that made Carla say LOL...

Seapearls is made completely of awesome. Just read a few of her posts, you'll see what I mean.

So raise that damn horn and lets drink to finding a home. Kindred is a funny thing, always. Anyone that tells you different hasn't run amok yet.

Thanks. :hahugh:


I have a couple of book recommendations for you on the subject if you would like.

I am familiar with the subject a little myself.

[seapearls]

Well sure, I'll always take a good book recommendation.

Yep, it's on my dresser, along with Orkneyinga Saga and a couple others. Eventually, I'll get them completely read, meanwhile they make good references.

[Malcolm]

I am the thane of UPG. :viking:

A stein is always welcome...btw...

[Ulfurskona]

Norse pagan here. I'd claim Asatru, but I don't have a kindred or hearth as of yet...just lil ole me with my nose in a book. I tend to lurk (hence the like less than 10 posts despite being around since August or so of this year :) ).

[Wolfpoet]

Sorry for the late welcome Grimr.

I'm an unrepentant vargr, tend to hang out in PP mostly because of too many rabbits running and not enough in stews where they belong.

[EJ1096]

Welcome. There are alot of very knowledgeable people here. I'm learning alot from them.

[Hangatyr 13]

I'm a Heathen as well. It's good to meet you.

[Rick]

You're back? Get outta town! :hehehehe:

[Mjollnir]

You're back? Get outta town! :hehehehe:

My thoughts exactly...welcome back my friend, how have you been?

[Hangatyr 13]

My thoughts exactly...welcome back my friend, how have you been?Busy, mostly. It's good to be back.

[happyheathenmom]

I'm one of those Asafolk..

BTW has anyone heard of the new movie coming out called Path Finder?? I saw the preview.. looked good except some of the 'vikings' have horns on their helmets.. and Beowulf and Grendle was an ok movie.. it stayed pretty true to the myth.

[Rick]

There's an old movie called Pathfinder... it's a Swedish (I think) film, based on an old Finnish tale... it's sub-titled, but it's pretty good, if you can find it...

They've re-made it then ;) lemme find the link.. I think it was imbd.com.... here it is:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0446013/
This should work.. the yellow tabs at the top of the page will let you navigate to the trailers

It was supposed to be released in 2006 according to the trailer on IMBD, oh.. and the guy that played Eomer in the LOTR movies (Karl Urban) is the main guy in it. Urban also played Ceasar in Xena.. lol

[Rick]

Ah, OK, THAT movie...

Naw, it's not a remake of the one I was talkin' about, it's a whole different story line... but is probably worth seeing...

[happyheathenmom]

Ohhh.. ok :) Then maybe I'll have to peek around for the old one.. :) and maybe see the new one.. :) We watch a lot of movies as we don't have cable.. yeah I know.. kind of a shock
lol - honestly I would rather have internet over cable any day, that or several good books. :)
