Hail to All,
So Thorrablot is over, which I was sad to see it go. I did celebrate it yesterday and it wasn't that big of an affair. I don't have a ton of money to spend on feasts and this was no different. Also, being the only heathen in the family really determines what your going to be dining on. I did offer ale to Thor and thanked him for his protection. I burned incense and poured libation of drink. I gave a portion of my food to Thor and asked for his protection for another year.
I hope that you all had a good Thorrablot and I'll be back later this week.
HAIL ODIN!!!! HAIL THOR!!!!

What This weeks Volispo and Last means
Hail to All,
So yesterday I wrote down last weeks section of the Volispo and this weeks. The first 1-4 deals with the creation of the universe and the nine worlds. Odin raised the seerer from the grave, indicating that Odin is very strong in magic, and she is telling how the universe was like before it was fashioned how it was fashioned. The next section 5-10 deals with the gods, and the fact that they lived in an age before all the trouble began. Before the battles that they would fight against the giants and other creatures that would try and bring them down.
Everything was peachy, sweet, and innocent. No greed, problems, or troubles. And then the three giant sisters came from their realm and that's where I stopped. I will be back next week with 11-14 and I look forward in talking about it.

Honoring Thor
Hail to All,
Today we honor Thor, the god that protects the realm of humans. Us! Last week I dedicated my exercise to Thor. The site that I was using only pointed it for men. But I believe that women can use some of Thor's presence and power in their lives. I exercise three days a week, but I also put one of the days for my exercise to be in honor of Thor. It gives me a connection to the gods and to my ancestors.
So I hope that all of you will have a good day and may Thor give you strength.

Why I'm an Independent Heathen
Hail to All,
I want to talk a bit about why I'm an Independent Heathen and not apart of any said 'heathen' community. It isn't that I'm against associating with others. If I was then I wouldn't be here or I wouldn't be on Facebook. The reason that I'm not apart of a heathen community is because there are two kinds and the first kind is the one that burned me. The kind that burned me are the kind that are so full of themselves that they will travel with you where ever you go and not listen to reason.
I can't stand them. They think that they know you, they think that they know how you practice, when they don't. They attack you because you use to be Wiccan and they don't think that maybe it's taking time to get away from the 'doing what makes you feel right' mode. Yes, I do things that other Heathens might not like. Including Tarot cards, libations when it's not a Blot, and so on. But this is my practice, this is my path, and these are the gifts to the gods that I give them.
Oh and don't even get me started on prayers. Yeah, well I guess that you'll hear me rant about that. The fundies are against praying. Why? Because they state that the gods don't want to be bothered all the time. Excuse me, but when did you become the spokesmen for the gods? I don't bother them all the time. Only when I feel the need to 'communicate' with them. Nothing that I do is good enough for them and nothing that I do will prove that I'm a 'real' heathen.
To them I'm doing nothing but Wicca and they are burned up about that. Excuse me, but I don't put a pentacle on my altar, I don't call Odin and Frigga 'the lord and lady' and I don't believe in the Maiden, Mother, and Crone aspects. I believe that the gods are separate and distinct entities that demand our respect. This isn't a taking a hat off the shelf religion and I really wish the Wiccans would stop treating the gods as such.
Of course I'm not about to bash Wiccans and that's what these people were doing. So that's why I'm an independent heathen and I will only call myself an independent Asatruer when I've been doing this for a full year without breaks. I'm going to practice my path, read my cards, drink tea, and walk the path of the ancients. Don't like it, then get the hell out of my damn face. I'm not here to get your approval and I don't want it. I will let my actions speak to the gods, not the desire to conform to your views.

Honoring Odin
Hail to All,
Today we honor Odin, the Allfather. And as I did before I'm doing a small section of saga as my offering to him. This one is from last week, on my Wordpress blog, so I'm going to post it. Then I'll space it and add this weeks.
1: Hearing I ask from the holy races,
From Heimdall’s sons, both high and low;
Thou wilt, Valfather, that well I relate
Old tales I remember of men long ago.
2: I remember yet of the giants of yore,
Who gave me breads in days gone by;
Nine worlds I knew, the nine in the tree
With mighty roots beneath the mold.
3: Of old was the age when Ymir lived;
Sea nor cool waves nor sand there were;
Earth had not been, nor heavens above,
But a yawning gap, and grass nowhere.
4: Then Bur’s sons lifted the level land,
Mithguard the mighty there they made;
The sun from the south earth, warmed the stones of
And green was the ground with growing leeks.
(Space)
5: The sun, the sister of the moon, from the south. Her right hand cast over heaven's rim;
No knowledge she had where her home should be,
The moon knew not what might was his,
6: Then sought the gods their assembly seats,
The holy ones, and council held;
Names then they gave to noon and twilight,
Morning they named, and the waning moon,
Night and evening, the years to number.
7: At Ithavoll met the mighty gods,
Shrines and temples they timbered high;
Forges they set, and they smithied ore
Tongues they wrought, and tools they fashioned.
8: In their dwellings at peace they played at tables,
Of gold no lack did the gods then know,-
Till thither came up giant-maids three,
Huge of might , out of Jotunheim.
9: Then sought the gods their assembly-seats,
The holy ones, and council held,
To find who should raise the race of dwarfs
Out of Brimir's blood and the legs of Blain.
10: There was Motsognir the mightiest made
Of all the dwarfs, and Durin next;
Many of likeness of men they made,
The dwarfs in the earth, as Durin said.
I'll be back tomorrow to explain what I think that both sections are talking about. Thanks for reading.

New Moon (January 2015)
Hail to All,
This is not Heathen but what I do. Tonight I'm going to be honoring Hella. She's the dark goddess, the one that controls the dead and the land of the dead. I don't have any Hella 'incense' but I do have incense to Hecate. I'm going to burn that and give it as an offering to Hella. I personally don't think that she minds. I going to also give offerings of anything that's 'dark' to her. That could be chocolate milk, chocolate, and even some fruit.
I'm not sure yet. All I know is that it's going to be great. I hope that you all have a good New Moon and I'll see you around.
HAIL HELLA!!!!

Honoring Tyr
Hail to All,
Today we honor Tyr and I did it by playing a game with my brother. Tyr is connected to sports of all kinds and competition of all kinds. I didn't win, but I had a good time. My brother is far more better at this then I am, but I was willing to do this so that my brother wouldn't feel as though he was the only one that was doing anything. I thanked Tyr for the battle and I thanked him for allowing me to be humble in losing.
Next time, I'm going to win.
