Odin Speaks

A kind word need not cost much,
The price of praise can be cheap:
With half a loaf and an empty cup
I found myself a friend,

Words of the High One

Young and alone on a long road,
Once I lost my way:
Rich I felt when I found another;
Man rejoices in man,

Norway

Yet again the dark forces of christianity are stretching across the land of Njiord.

In the name of the nailed god another 90+ lives have been lost and 100's more ruined. When is Europe going to realise that the middle eastern religions have centuries of death behind them, and that they should be abandonded for the true faith of Europe - I am sure the Aesir/ Vanir Gods will not be happy at these pointless deaths, and that Njiord will avenge his poeple accordingly.

Norway is a proud country, and our sympathy for her poeple goes out.

Hail Njiord!

Happy Eastre to you all!

Most of the UK will celebratethis in April this year, believing in the nailed god's execution. However, we all know that the real date is today, 21 March

Quote of the year ...so far

I thought that Harry Redknapp's understated quote 'of all the people to pick on Joe Jordan was not the one' would rule supreme for some time.

However, I forgot all about David 'foot-in-mouth' Cameron, who has come up with the classic

'Colonel Gaddafi should go now, it is clear that this is an illegitimate regime that has lost the consent of it's people'

Talk about kettles and frying pans!!!

HOW ON EARTH...

Did Mike Ashley manage to get £35 million for Andy Carroll?

DIRECT HIT!!

I performed a Tarot party last month, and one of the clients was heavily pregnant. I asked when it was due, "1 week" she replied. I advised her it would be 3 weeks, or on the 3rd. Sure enough 3 weeks to the day she had her child.

That is what I call a Direct hit!

Heathen Pagan or Asatru?

What should we call ourselves? Everyone should have an identity, only we seemed to be lessed with the wrong names!

At first I told poeple that I was a Heathen, and said it with pride, for that is what I believed I was! Then the bombshell hit that Heathen was a derogitory name given to us by the Christians, as someone who was uncilvlised and living on the heath! I live in the town, and feel that I am very civilised thank you, therefore Heathen went out of the window!

So, I thought to myself, If I can not be a Heathen, I had better call myself a Pagan! Like so many others, I proudly told the world who and what I was, but what is a Pagan? According to the dictionary:

Paganism (from Latin paganus, meaning "country dweller", "rustic"[1]) is a blanket term, typically used to refer to polytheistic religious traditions, although from a Christian perspective, the term can encompass all non–Abrahamic religions.

Well blow me! It meant exactly the same thing!!!!

So should anybody ask me what I beleive I now say that I am Asatru, a name not made up by a Christian, and that describes exactly where I come from. Yes, some people may ask what that is, but that gives the chance to educate them to the glory of the Aesir!

I urge others to do the same and dump the preconcieved Christian slurs that have hung upon us for almost 2000 years!

HAIL THOR AND HIS KINDRED!

Twenty Five Years Too Late!

At long last the Trade Union movement has awoken! The threats of the Con-Dem Government have forced them to realise only constructive, well co-ordinated action, in the name of the people will suffice!

The only shame is that if they had shown such resolution in the 80's, the Labour party would have had no choice but to jump on the socialist bandwagon and the Thatcher years would have been shortened considerably, and today's talk of action would not have been required!

May Thor protect them against these political frost giants!

Freyfest

Freyfest has come and gone, and I have made my sacrifices and gave my thanks. Others think I am mad, but I know the Gods will smile on me for standing up for them (not that they need me to, but they will appreciate the effort alll the same).

Hail the Aesir!

Pagan Acceptance by UK Ministry of Defence

It is with a very glad heart that I can report that the UK press have revealed that there are OFFICIALLY 100 known Pagans within the UK Armed Forces.

Now 100 seems a small figure compared to the 100,000 that make up the armed forces, but 10 years agao the report would have been laughed at!

The MOD have accepted our religion as a legitimate group, so where next? The Police????

Civic Duties called!

It has been a while since I have had the chance to write anything, this was due to the fact that I was serving on a jury.

Naturally, I will not be divulging any details of the case, but I am proud to say that I made my oath, and kept it, judging on the facts presented.

Being summoned to Jury service gives you many thoughts, including where the concept came from, ie. our pagan ancestors. It is refreshing to know that something that was directed by the Gods all those centuries ago is still alive today, and is taken just as seriously!

On a lighter note, I am now a year older, though maybe not wiser! I hope the Gds and Norns will allow me many more years, and allow me to bring prosperity to the clan.

Hail Odin! Hail Thor! Hail The Aesir and Vanir!

Eastre Celebrations

Once again we can celebrate and praise Eastre for bringing colour and fertility back intoour grey, winter lives! Unfortunately, once again the press will be shoving Jesus down our throats, trying to tell us that the egg represents a rock and being totally flumaxed when asked what Jesus had to do with a rabbit!

I recommend watching the 'Life of Brian' this weekend as part of your celebrations - it is probably closer to the truth!!!!

On a personal note I have, in good Asatru style, been tracing my family tree, for how can you call on your ancestors for advice if you don't know who they are! Much to my surprise (and delight if the truth be known) I ended up, via Scotland, Normandy, the Orkneys and Norway, in Russia. It appears that I am descended from Argolia Vladimirovna, who was the daughter of Vladimir the Great of Novogorod. His grandfather, Rurik of the Rus, was a true Viking Pagan, who is creditied with founding Russia itself! Small World.....

Stark Differences in US / UK Television

I have watched two programmes over the last couple of weeks that highlight the difference in attitude of Television series on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.

In one, Supernatural, the programme described the Vanir as evil beings that are out to destroy the world! Hardly the truth (if you don't know the Vanir then google them and be educated!)

The other, Candleford, was a BBC period drama that addressed paganism in the form of a tree being consecrated by the local peasants, and the hew and cry of a local christian. This resulted in the local postmistress pointing out that both religeons had the right to exist, and to be worshiped equally according to the will of the individual!

So much for the Land of the Free!

Dear Friend Departing.

A dear friend recently left our lives, but I know we shall see him again in the next. Until then I ask the Mighty Thor to look after him, for he deserves his protection, just as he protected us in this live.

Goodbye for now Solomon, See you Wee Mon!

Jesus: Pagan Christ or Jewish Messiah ?

For two thousand years christianity has been stealing our festivals and celebrations, yet still Asatru thrives.

Christianity's response is typical: Jesus: Pagan Christ or Jewish Messiah?

So our ancient religion is an offshoot of a middle eastern schitzophrenic who was executed (or lived another 30 years in India!)

I don't think so!

Hail Odin! Hail Thor!

Hand Of Thor!

Scientist are claiming to have caught a rare shot of 'upwards lightning', as shoen above. However, is this really a shot of our Mighty Thor, reaching out to catch Mjollnir!

Hail Thor!

Hew wood in wind-time,
in fine weather sail,
Tell in the night-time tales to house-girls,
For too many eyes are open by day:
From a ship expect speed, from a shield, cover,
Keenness from a sword,

Times are hard now, and the financial winds are blowing, time to stock up!

The Future

Men wade there tormented by the stream,

Vile murderers, men forsworn

And artful seducers of other mens wives:

Nidhogg sucks blood from the bodies of the dead

The wolf rends them. Well, would you know more?

Then contact me and I will tell you!

A Turning Point?

After 18 months of mayhem the boys of NUFC have finally got a point! The Gods have obviously re-appraised the club as some of Krul's saves were out of this world. Of course, some would say they were lucky, and if Loki had his hand in this then the turbulent times will continue!
