PS.net's premier Northern Tradition Pagan / Shaman / Mystic / Occult group is dedicated to any who wish to learn about more than the common Norse / Germanic / Saxon Heathen information. We accept all who come with open minds and curiosity.

We wish to embody the essence of Hospitality and welcome those from all ways.

Wesaþ Ge Hale,
Your Humble Hosts: Kane (American/ Iron Woods Shaman) and Lykathea (Eclectic Odian Occultist)

What is the Northern Tradition?

I like to think that it is not a reconstruction, but a continuance of the practices of the Nordic, Celtic, Pictish, Scottish, Germanic, Slavic, Ainu and other Northern Arctic and sub arctic faiths and practices. Reconstruction is a part, but only so that we may know where to continue and forge ahead with the development of our religions. We choose to listen to the gods more and listen less from what books and history say. We do not hold biases from the literature of the past as it is nearly impossible to know if there was historical tampering or trespasses made by christian colonization of those lands. First hand knowledge is trusted more, and what is spoken by those who never stopped is always worth more than the second hand accounts.

Comment by Vincent Enlund on March 4, 2013 at 1:34pm: The East Coast Thing is an Asatru community-building event in the Poconos of Pennsylvania in Raymondskill. It was established in 1999 and is a family-friendly place where Asatruar gather in frith to honor the Aesir and Vanir, exchange ideas in classes and workshops and renew the bonds between kindreds and individuals. All kids to date gone free via community fund. While the event is open to all individuals, the focus is on Asatru and the Northeast Asatru community. Going on from August 21-25th 2013.

Comment by Genievre Artemis Gelgeis on October 30, 2012 at 8:37am: Hello everyone and thank you for accepting me to the group. I'm apprenticed by Hel herself to learn how to become a seidr. I know she's not one you would normally learn Seidr from. Although she is a good teacher. On my page you can see how I have viewed the entrance to her realm Helheim

Comment by Minkur Emilsdottir on July 26, 2011 at 8:23pm: Hei alla, I am new here and looking forward to learning and sharing. I have been an Asatruar and rune-reader for many years now. I have a great interest in seidhr and am hoping to hear of others' experiences and techniques. Great links!

Comment by Jose Barroso on June 16, 2011 at 8:52pm: The runes originate from the history of Odin, Thor, Freya and other ancient viking history. They were used as a magical alphabet that finally developed into the English alphabet we use today and if used used right were said to bestow powers onto the user. The Aegishjalmur symbol is a symbol within the same understanding of the runes.

Comment by steve hawkins on June 8, 2011 at 6:25pm: Thanx for the links, they answer a lot of questions that usually go unanswered.

Comment by Kane on June 8, 2011 at 4:09pm: welcome

Comment by steve hawkins on June 7, 2011 at 7:17pm: Hi, I'm new to the group, I've been a follower of the asa-vana for years and at last there's a group I can learn something from.
