"Faith" should not be part of a Heathen's vocabulary.
Faith ... I know this is tossed around a lot ... however, that term and its origins are Abrahamic. They use it to describe their covenant and later ways to "interact" with their “white christ” and by the Muslims and Jews to describe their actions. It is so ubiquitous in religious discussions because Xtianity has dominated Western culture for so ( Read more... ) -
Towards stronger, healthier Heathen Clergy resulting in better Heathenry
Greater Heathenry need to have something that can be pointed at that articulates in clear, rational, and accessible ways what Heathen Clergy actually *is* rather than what other people define and think it is.

Reading Ziggy makes me think
I wanted to put out a shout to my good friend Siegfried Goodfellow over at The Heathen Ranter. The man rights some brilliant stuff, puts out a tremendous amount of material that is insightful, lore based and driven, and ... well ... dense. Probably to dense for most Heathen readers. I'm not trying to insult him or those readers, but at times the ( Read more... ) -
UPG is not simply Opinion
