Welcome to Heathenry

Mead is an alcoholic libation made from honey that is often used in Heathenry as offerings for the Vaettir (in the context of spirits, ancestors, and deities). When one does not have access to mead, any other alcoholic drink will do. If that is still not an option, people typically opt for milk, coffee, or juice. Blessed water can be used, but it's not really talked about very often.

By first looking at the username of the poster I wouldn't have guessed it was Personified, I like this post because it brings more detail into Norse-Pagan.

I love this post. Thank you so much for sharing it.

I believe in the Norse gods and still hold the belief that I will go to Valhalla when I die. I also go by the nine noble virtues and pray to my gods. However I am also practice magic and stuff. What would you say about my dilemma?

A lot of Heathens are also magical practitioners. We have nothing against it, save that Seidhr was traditionally a more feminine practice. We've grown in maturity since then, so there's really no issue at all. =p

OK, thanks

This is very interesting! Thank you for posting :D

Haschel, I hate to be that one guy that complains about something, but in one of your posts you said that you will go to Valhall. Well don't be too sure about that, because there are other places that you may go upon death. Valhall is the Hall of the Slain, where warriors go. Unless your going into war or battle in your future I wouldn't be too precise about where your going to end up. Don't take this badly, I just mean to be specific. Hails!

No I said that warfare was a part of there initial society, to be clear I worship and serve them also, I'm a soldier, I don't view things from a civilian perspective, there was a time when civilians could fight, but alas I was born in the wrong century perhaps. I meant no offense just making clear a historical point. To be sure we who are true blooded Nords are still as tough as we were then. Also thanks for the original post. My ancestors smile upon me, may you say the same.

Thank you for this post! I study and follow Heathenry (specifically odinism) but I still need to learn a lot more about it.
