4. I consider myself a Norse Heathen

Mine has been a solitary path so I'm not all that familiar with the traditions of the various groups that can be found around the web/world/country.

I was raised Catholic but that lost interest fairly early leaving me to wander around looking at the various beliefs in the world. I had always been open to and could feel and see many of the things others couldn't. It was when my medical condition got a lot worse that I found comfort in my ancestral self. My path becamse more clear through a lot of 'soul' searching and some discussions with my father (he is a Catholic deacon but is actually very open to all sorts of things. He is always afraid of what the newer more conservative church leaders are doing. I sometimes think he is more of a Heathen in Sheep's clothing )

I could see and trace Tyr's influence in our family line going way back. We could even see it in some of our non-Norse lineage (that doesn't include Pio Quinto, a relative who got his name because he was Pious V' s illegitimate son ).

From there I have worked with Tyr and Freya ( ) a great deal while being very open to the others as they move through my life.

What about you? Do you belong to a group?




(if you haven't figured it out yet, I have a very strong tie to wolves, coyotes, and foxes. I let them pop in whenever they or I want... )
