Get ready to get your ideas and preconceptions shocked and rocked as you join me for a deep dive into primitivism, the dirty secret of heathenry. In particular I will be examining "Heathen Music" and how the style of music we associate with heathenry not only isn't ancient but is once again rooted in imagination.
Deity is a spectrum, multi-faceted and with lots of caveats and some exceptions. Our society is accustomed to black and white, but in this video I will seek to examine the gray areas of deity. Join me as I examine and discuss deities that run somewhat counter to our expectations.
Have you ever given a thought to the weather ancient Scandinavia and Germany and England and how it impacted the people who lived there in those places? This is a video for you then. In this video I examine perception versus reality and how our imaginations affect our understandings of the past if we don't set them in line with reality.
This video is going to get into what is really a deep topic, coreligiosity. Essentially it is the idea that there is not one heathenry, but instead there are many religions that share this title outwardly. There are therefore divisions on how we believe and how we practice and how we conceive of divinity. The most pronounced differences are ones that are on the fundamentals that people hold. Despite this, there are many things that unite is.
Are you any less heathen when you offer to gods besides the ones in our heathen "pantheon" (for lack of a better term)? The simple answer is no. So how do you go about this? This episode will give three options for worshiping other gods and will set them in their historical precedent to give better context to them.
Heathenry has cults, we are actually really a susceptible community for cults because of the lack of established structures of religion. So in this video I discuss cults in Heathenry.
Heathenry suffers from an issue of perception versus reality, our religion suffers from Imagined Heathenry. Ultimately I think the only way we can get past this is to leave behind anti-Christian sentiment and focus on what we are not on what we aren't.
So let's talk about why heathens and pagans in general for that matter go to great lengths to avoid the word worship.
In this podcast I talk a little about the immorality of the concept of eternal damnation and why heathenry should not indulge in it.
What makes a god a god? What separates gods from ettins? I go on a bit of a ramble here and there but hopefully I get my point across and ultimately can be understood.
In this episode I tackle the claims of folkism regarding ancestral religious practice and weigh them against history. So, is folkism historical?
In this episode I grapple with how a question like "Where will you spend eternity?" is answered from a pagan context and how it is infinitely more complicated than it is for Christians to answer.
I'm quite new to podcasting so this is an introduction to who I am and to my path to this point.
