Introductions

Hallo und willkommen! This is a personal religious blog in which I’ll detail my journey through paganism and the path I am on today.

First things first, this blog is strictly anti folkish, if you believe only white people can be heathens, go on and fuck off. If you believe cishet white dudes to be better than anyone, begone. If you believe that lgbt people, disabled people, mentally ill people, or any other group, is unfit to be heathen, go on. Get. If you believe men should have more power in heathenry, just leave (this includes you theods)

This blog is a place for me to focus thoughts on and about heathenry, paganism, the state od the world, personal thoughts, whatever.

My hearth and practice could be described as unusual, or at the least, uncommon. I focus on heathenry through the lens of the continental german people before christianization, primarily the western germanic tribes (such as the Saxons, Allemannic, Bavarians). I also have strong influences from Fyrnsidu, or Anglo Saxon heathenry, as well as Urglaawe. My practice is not strictly Germanic however. I am influenced heavily by the celtic cycles and by Gaelic polytheism, albeit not druidry. Slavic paganism is another influence on my hearth, but I’ve yet to give cult to any slavic deities.

My hearth, which I know call Wildwīb Fiurstat, based on the Old High German word “wildwīb” refers to a sort of monster, of a sort of wild woman, and fiurstat meaning hearth. I choose this name for two reasons. The first being, its a cool word and I like the way it sounds. Secondly, there are many aspects of a “wild woman” that I can relate to. Besides a direct connection to nature and general distaste for modern culture, I relate heavily to this monster version of a wild woman. She who walks through groves of trees scavenging for food, scaring away other people in the process. Being non binary and not traditionally attractive, I do often feel like some sort of monster. I feel a disconnect from the social concept of what a woman should be, and I feel like others view me as a beast. So, to name my hearth, the center of my home and of my faith, I wanted to express my feelings, as a feminine person, and as a pagan. Maybe its cliche or tired, maybe it’s not. Who cares.

This is just a little introductory post to let potential viewers get to know what this blog is about. Feel free to follow me as I figure shit out!
