Pretend you've never heard of the Nine Noble virtues, but are just trying to figure out what is important to the Viking character. What stands out to you?

Loki and Odin have some shamanistic characteristics in common. Both shape change. Both have taken on a woman's role at some point. Both can be kind of a trickster/michievious figure. Loki's michieviousness seems to be without moral compass, whereas Odin's seems to be for a purpose, although also, argueably just as amoral. What are we to make of this? What do you think?

Havamal 62:
When the ancient eagle comes to the ancient sea,
He snaps and hangs his head;
So is a man
in the midst of a throng,
Who few to speak for him finds.

-------------

Okay. I get it. It's lonely and miserable to be "alone" in the midst of many people. I'm from the country, not the city, but we didn't have any eagles or ancient seas where I grew up. I really didn't know eagles "hung" their heads or snapped, especially when flying over ancient seas. I feel like there could be a slight translation issue here, or some cultural understanding that I'm not grasping. Can anyone shed light on this part of the verse?

My wife and I both ended up getting the Covid! I'm so glad we caught the Omnicorp version. After some Ivermectin and Hydroxychlor we recovered fairly quickly and are back at work. Hopefully the natural immunity we developed will help protect us from future variants, which should be even weaker but even more contagious.

Politics and Asatru

Every couple of years I do a search to see if there's a kindred nearby that I could join. Still no kindreds anywhere near Houston that I can find. There ARE 2 large groups that may have individual members near, but 1 group is a folkish / racist group that I feel sorry for but wouldn't associate with. The other is a crying, liberal, terrorist-loving, patriot hating group that I definitely would get kicked out of in short order even if I tried to join. I'm not a particularly political person, generally, and I like to keep my politics out of my religious meetings. But I know me and if they starting going on about how bad America is I'm going to likely cause problems. sigh.

What's the solution? How do we come together as Heathen/Asatru/Odinist types to honor the gods together and not get on each other's nerves with our own particular views of how Asatru should be done, or politics or whatever. I guess a frithstead would work. That's how our ancestors handled it. right?

Thoughts?

Keep your heads on a swivel, stay armed, and stay alert. Be ready to defend yourselves out there fellow Heathens. Don't start it, but don't be a victim, bleeding out in the streets either. Know your rights in your state. Carry your gun, always, if it's legal to do so. Watch your back, these people are cowards and they will always target the weak, or someone's back. Like mongrel dogs, they are only brave in large groups, when they outnumber their intended victim. for the most part. There will always be exceptions though, so stay alert. May Thor grant/inspire you with the strength you need to defend yourself, and may Odin's wisdom whisper when it is time to do so.

True Story Time Again.

So the Kindred went to the Texas Renaissance Festival back in the day.. It was rainy and muddy and I forget who, but someone in the kindred asked me, can't we ask Sunna to come out? So we all stood together right there at the entrance, just past where all the photographers are, and did a hammer rite, hammer signing, and then an Adoration to Sunna, asking her to "shine forth in all her might." WOW! What a mistake!!

The rain was still drizzling down, but the clouds immediately split, while we were still standing there with our arms up. The sun shone through, the rain stopped and steam began to rise from the mud. Within a couple of hours the ground was dry and cracked, the day was hot, people had to remove layers of clothing. It actually became really hot and we began to feel overheated and dehydrated! Coincidence? I get why you might think so, but you kind of had to be there to see it happen in real time.

Eventually we thanked Sunna profusely, but asked her if she didn't mind reigning it back a bit.

The best part was the reaction of the crowd. Right after we did our little ritual there were a few half-hearted claps from here and there all around us. People had stopped what they were doing to watch us do what they might have thought was some kind of skit or play. Then utter silence descended on the crowd as they realized the clouds were physically parting and the sun was shining down, like we had just requested!! A few of the bolder ones approached us later and asked if we were witches!! haha! NOPE. A few of the more timid hustled away crossing themselves or muttering prayers under their breath.
