Norse "Shrink Art" Ornaments
My son and I did shrink art tonight - so I turned my sheet into some tiny Norse themed ornaments! :)

Pagan/Heathen Playgroups and Parent Time?
Any parents of young ones (10 and under?) in the Middlesex/Monmouth County locales? Would be great to meet up at parks or other areas to keep the kids entertained and the adult's socialized with other like minded adults. :-)~ Cheers!See More
Ghostwolf replied to Crystiannia Vanirdottir's discussion What Led You To Asatru? in the group Ásatrú- true to the norse gods and goddess"It feels natural to me. I was fascinated with the tales of the Gods when I was young, and found a book on Norse mythology in the school library. I checked it out frequently. My family was nominally Baptist when I was young, but never discouraged me…"

"A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing."

I hate cynical asses. Cynicism, and its twin half-brother Sarcasm, haven’t been attractive since before Fox Mulder moved to LA to become a sex addicted novelist. Now, I’m not talking about your every day frustration with life situations here. A certain percentage of your emotional makeup needs to have a healthy dose of cynicism. If you don’t, then you’re heavily medicated to begin with and it’s a non-point.
When I say cynical…
My music, My lover
Posted on July 29, 2011 at 2:01am 1 Comment 2 Likes
I'm terrified of guitar strings. If you've never experienced a guitar string induced welt on your hand, then you've no right to chuckle. They're vicious. Preying on innocents who've not yet learned to properly tune a guitar. Or bass. Or violin. Or any stringed instrument for that matter! And so my lover hands me his precious Ibanez to hold and I flinch. He does chuckle and roll his eyes a bit, but it's allowed. He knows the feeling all to well, only he's…

I wrote this Viking-y tale several years ago. I was angry, disgruntled with humans in general, but still trying to cling to some hope and, possibly, love. A friend I had used to use the notion of a Blood Eagle sacrifice when he was angry with someone - in jest only of course! I hope! But it gave me a few ideas that I jotted down in the below work of loosely Norse/Pagan related fiction. It's not what I usually write, and it could have been better researched, but at the time I found…

Trollkyrka: Aesir said than done!
Music and literature have always spoken to me. Even when I could not comprehend the language, my soul could decipher the meanings. It may be why I was always drawn to Old English/Norse or how some of my favorite songs can be in other languages. In my prior post I mentioned Carl Jung’s theory on…

I'm frequently asked what led me to the path of Asatru. It's not something that can be answered in a few sentences. I had written about it on another site in order to provide a better understanding of who I am and how this came about for me. I'd like to share it here as well.

David Carron said… "BTW... a few years to late, eh, but I just now saw your previous post! I had tried contacting Vingolf years ago, but had never received a response and another forum had said they were no longer accepting members and such."
Yeah, well they have kinda went through some issues. They have a Facebook group are quite a good bunch of folks.
"Otherwise, I'm not aware of any other NJ or nearby groups. I wanted to try and make it out to ECT this year, but even then I'm not the most socially graced person, so I'm not certain how that would go!"
And that would be reason #99 as to why I'm doing a "Welcome to ECT class". :)
But don't just take my word for it: check out the website or Facebook group and ask folks at the Northeast Asatru group at Yahoogroups. You will get a few hundred reasons as to why... If you don't have a good/spiritual time then you are doing something wrong!

I saw you on the Troth list.
Any reason you haven't looked into the number of NJ Asatru groups (I can certainly recommend Vingolf)?
