Gangr... yeah, sorry, I did a jargon on my public journal without linking it--bad me.

Gangr, in this context, means "particular kinds of altered states related to somafera". (more here: http://www.uppsalaonline.com/uppsala/somafera/somafera%20-%20the%20body%20wild.html)

Gangr is an old Norse verb, which has been kind of appropriated as informally-formal shorthand for a bunch of stuff that me and some other individuals kick around which we don't really have a lot of words for. It's heathen in the sense that some of the people doing the kicking-around are heathen, and tend to tie this stuff back to "going berserk" etc.
