This quote is not from our lore but it resonates with me, especially during this time of the year. The lessening of the daylight hours always brings to mind my own mortality and I often find myself reflecting on and contemplating both the memories and the future plans. This quote from an ancient Roman philosopher […]

“Mediate often on the interconnectedness and mutual interdependence of all things in the universe. For in a sense, all things are mutually woven together and therefore have an affinity for each other – for one thing follows after another according to their tension of movement, their sympathetic stirrings, and the unity of all substance.” – […]

Hello fellow Heathens! This week I am taking a little detour in my weekly offering to Tyr. I think we can still make the case that it serves the greater good and therefore still fits in with Tyr.

Hello fellow Heathens! To increase the social media content, it has been decided that I will begin a weekly post honoring one of my main god figures – Tyr the One Handed. Tyr the God of War and Justice. Each week I will feature some story related to justice with our community. I will invite […]
Most of us have come to see Tyr as a god who stands for justice, law, doing the right thing. I am not about to say otherwise. First, how we experience the deities is highly personal and will manifest in as many ways as there are people experiencing them. Second, he is all those things […]
