Id have to say asatru because even tho I know so little about it its what ive heard the most but I would be interested I learning about all of them.
A couple months really. Like I said I don't know a lot about it and I don't know anyone around me to actually teach me anything.
This sums upthe last three.. I know very little but I thank Odin a lot and I try to thank and pay respects to all the gods goddessess that ive heard of. But again I know very little.
If anyone can take the time to talk to me and teach me I would be very greatfull.

Which deities/wights do you honor/include in your magickal practice?
It's neat to look at the different sects of Heathenry that are popping up here. Oddly enough it seems like the Heathen community here largely consists of Asatruars, Lokeans, and Rokkatruars (though I know most of us are a mixture of all sorts of practices and would be more closely defined as simply eclectic or modern heathens). Thus far, we've not seemed to have any issue between Heathens of different sects here like I've experienced in other forums- so I think that's something to be proud of. Most of us here on the site get together and get to know each other. :)

(Ex: Asatru, Odinism, Vanatru, Rokkatru, Lokeanism): - I had originally dipped my foot into Asatru under duress, but then found myself leaning considerably more toward Vanatru over the last year.
How long have you considered yourself a Norse pagan/Heathen?: I kept going back and forth with it for several years, but finally just gave in about two years ago.

I do a fair bit of the Northern Tradition practices, but also use a great little book I came across called "Ingvi's Blessing, Prayers and Charms for Field and Farm" which I use quite a bit of - it has some great insight from English history and heritage as a background to its work.
Which deities/wights do you honor/include in your magickal practice? The Landvaettir was one of the first I worked with where I live. Thor muscled his way into my world two years ago and while I don't do as much work with Him, I still honour him regularly. Freyja and Freyr are the two I work with most now, with Gerd as well from time to time, and Njord or Aegir when I visit the ocean.
Any additional comments about yourself related to this?
I fought the whole idea of Heathenism for a very VERY long time due to some rather unfortunate encounters with very folkist heathens. However I have learned to accept I cannot change other people's minds and I no longer try. I answer to my gods, and to Them alone.
hail odin
I relate to odinism
I have considered myself a Norse pagan for a few months. before that I was kind of drowning in the endless information relating to everything.
to be honest I still don't know what my religious views are. I don't agree with messing with someone's free will, I don't agree with following blindly like a sheep and I believe I can follow as many different gods and goddesses as I see fit.
on my altar I have odin sitting proud in a frame and a special herbal mix I made to honour him.
not so long ago I did a small ritual to honour odin. I hope he was pleased with my offering and continues to be.

Runes and seidhr on rare occasions these days.

Any additional comments about yourself related to this?
No
1. Rokkatru, with most of the focus on Loki ( Lokeanism )
2. A few years, probably five.
3. Northern Tradition Shamanism, a novice at runecasting, and researching the path of a Volva.
4. Rokkatru, with Loki at the fore. I haven't worked with wights, as of yet.
Though, the posts in these forums, are going to change that :)
5. I learn quickly, causing my knowledge to be at odds, with the number of years I've practiced.
Unfortunately, I've been judged by those years ( and probably the fact I'm Lokean ), which have prevented me from joining covens and other types of groups.
