I have decided to incorporate this blog into my ongoing OthalaFehu blog. Please go there for more/new posts.
Chapter 1; When God Lost Me
All of us come to the gods in our own way and in our own time. Mine was a strange way indeed, but until you spell it out for others you don't know for sure that it was so uncommon. So listen up all of you generation X heathens to see if we share any … Continue reading Chapter 1; When God Lost Me
Chapter 2; Practice By Feel
The tragedy of our religion is that the doctrines, dogma, and rituals have been lost to time. Perhaps that is too innocuous, the powers that be at the time systematically dismantled our religion in a concerted effort to root it out of the people and the culture. Alas we can not benefit from lamenting the … Continue reading Chapter 2; Practice By Feel

The image of heathenry starts with you. Are you successful? Healthy? Happy? I try to live my best life everyday. I … Continue reading Chapter 5; How To Serve
Chapter 6; Gifts Still Left To Pledge
This is a companion piece to follow the post 'How To Serve'. I wrote that one to cover the things I have already done to honor the gods. This post is about the four big things left I feel I could still do in this lifetime. One is more far fetched than the other three. … Continue reading Chapter 6; Gifts Still Left To Pledge
Chapter 7; All Of The West
There is a reason that there is so much crossover between the different religions of the world. The Hindu God Agni brings fire to man just as Prometheus did to the Greeks. Both stories sound a lot like Odin bringing the runes, or Christ wiping away sin. This story is about lifting the humans out … Continue reading Chapter 7; All Of The West
