“Not far from the Meisner mountain in Hesse stands a high precipice with a cavern under it, which goes by the name of the hollow stone. Into this cavern every Easter Monday the youths and maidens of the neighbouring villages carry bouquets, and then draw some cooling water. No one will venture down unless he has flowers with him. The lands in some Hessian townships have to pay a bunch of flowers every year for rent.”

The Lady of the Mountain (Fjallkonan) is the personification of the nation of Iceland. She has a long and storied tradition in both Iceland, where my family hails from, and Canada, where we live today.
Hail to the sons and daughters of Iceland!

The name Herne is a byname of Woden, used in his role as Hunter or Warrior-leader. The name is believed to come from the OE Herian (Warrior-leader) which is connected with the German term Haranni, Herne the Hunter still haunts the Windsor Forest and the Great Park in Berkshire.

Hymn to Woden
- William Lisle Bowles (24 September 1762 – 7 April 1850).
God of the battle, hear our prayer!
By the lifted falchion's glare;
By the uncouth fane sublime,
Marked with many a Runic rhyme;
By the 'weird sisters' dread,
That, posting through the battle red,
Choose the slain, and with them go
To Valhalla's halls below,
Where the phantom-chiefs prolong
Their echoing feast, a giant throng,
And their dreadful beverage drain
From the skulls of warriors slain:
God of the battle, hear our prayer;
And may we thy banquet share!
Save us, god, from slow disease;
From pains that the brave spirit freeze;
From the burning fever's rage;
From wailings of unhonoured age,
Drawing painful his last breath;
Give us in the battle death!
Let us lift our glittering shield,
And perish, perish in the field!
Now o'er Cumri's hills of snow
To death, or victory, we go;
Hark! the chiefs their cars prepare;
See! they bind their yellow hair;
Frenzy flashes from their eye,
They fly--our foes before them fly!
Woden, in thy empire drear,
Thou the groans of death dost hear,
And welcome to thy dusky hall
Those that for their country fall!
Hail, all hail the godlike train,
That with thee the goblet drain;
Or with many a huge compeer,
Lift, as erst, the shadowy spear!
Whilst Hela's inmost caverns dread
Echo to their giant tread,
And ten thousand thousand shields
Flash lightning o'er the glimmering fields!
Hark! the battle-shouts begin--
Louder sounds the glorious din:
Louder than the ice's roar,
Bursting on the thawing shore;
Or crashing pines that strew the plain,
When the whirlwinds hurl the main!
Riding through the death-field red,
And singling fast the destined dead,
See the fatal sisters fly!
Now my throbbing breast beats high--
Now I urge my panting steed,
Where the foemen thickest bleed.
Soon exulting I shall go,
Woden, to thy halls below;
Or o'er the victims, as they die,
Chant the song of Victory!

"It is a mistake to think of Paganism as a religion. With dogma and doctrine with which you adhere. The literal definition of Pagan is Ethnic, when you "Go Pagan" you are becoming more aware of your own heritage and nature. Just as the same faces, temperaments, proclivities and instincts persist in a people so too do the Gods. They are the constant of the People.
The part of them that is ever present, experiencing everything alongside their people. The Divine Relatives of the Race. Hades has no more love for a German than Wotan does for a Greek. Just as any Good Father would not side against their Son, neither will the Gods take sides against their people. Just as tempests, twisters, romance, rapture, forests and fury are ever shifting constants so too are the people and their Gods.
To go Pagan, return to your Roots, your Race. All else is hyperbole and romanticism in the face of fleeting contemporary tastes. You can no more choose your God than you can choose your Forebears. You are what you are, you may deny it, run from it, even fear and shun it. But in the end you cannot escape and why should you want too!?
What the Gods offer is not subservience but Freedom and Glory! The endless revelry of Life as part of that grand sweeping entity that is your Kin and Kind.

This bronze figure from Haute-Saône, eastern France, is very similar to the depiction of Ostara on the Osta-stone, with antlers and a cornucopia. It’s been proposed to be a Gallo-Roman image of Fortuna syncretized with Cernunnos, but perhaps it’s a Romano-Germanic image of Ostara.

The word ‘giddy’ has an interesting origin. From the OE gydiġ the word essentially means ‘to be possessed by a god’, Gyd meaning the same as god.
Another OE word which seems to have a similar meaning is Ylfig or being possessed or controlled by an ælf (elf). In English lore seiðr was also considered an elvish practise. The word is attested in the OE ælfsīden meaning elf magic.

A clay tablet was found in Hohenstein, Lower Saxony, in the 16th Century with a likely depiction of Ostara. Hohenstein was an important cult site since the early Iron Age, and the use of the Younger Futhark suggests an age of around the 8th Century. She is depicted with horns, a drinking horn or cornucopia, and what may be a bird. The location of the original is unknown, only sketches survive. The incomplete inscription reads;
“You go out, that’s Osta, loosen icy frosts…
You good Osta, from your face shines…”

I have always been a lamp person. I can not stand sitting in bright lights as if I were in some kind of sports stadium or hospital wing. Comfort is a homely feeling that offers one a sense of permanence as opposed to feeling as though you're just passing through.

AI generated images are dishonest theft.

Hail Sigtýr!
One of Oðinn's epithets is that of Sigtýr.
Sig ᛊ = Victory
Týr ᛏ = God / Divine
Thereby God of Victory.
The Völsung Saga has the heroes in the line of Oðinn / Blessed by Oðinn having names usually starting with Sig.
Sigi
Sigurd
Sigmund
Anglo-Saxon: Sigemund
Frankish : Sigibert
German: Siegfried
Thereby not only are these Dragon slaying heroes and grand kings (despite their harships and troubles) semi demigods to look up to or learn from (both their mistakes and their glorious efforts), but one can pull from this that Oðinn is a God to praise and turn to for Victory.
In times line these prayers and devotion to him for strength and victory are essential.
Indeed, he welcomes those who put forth the effort.
In Valhalla, upon Eirik's arrival:
"Sigmund and Sinfjotli, rise up with speed and go to greet the warrior. Invite him in, if it be Eirik; I await his arrival."

Each runestone is roughly the diameter of a quarter, made from natural clay, hand carved with an elder futhark rune, and hand painted with watercolour before being sealed with a semi gloss finishing. The stones are durable and withstand being dropped, even onto hard surfaces. I make the occasional one-off set, but would love to start making custom sets in the near future.

It is imperative that we as Heathens make an argument against AI.
My friend Þorr Siðr makes a great point.
“The Gods are artisans. They shaped and prepared this realm for us, which required struggle and a great deal of violence to do. That was not an easy thing for them to do; what they made for us, was not easy to make. It took time and effort to do so. So, when someone uses this generative art and all its imperfections and imitation of reality, they don’t respect that struggle for creation that the Gods underwent at the beginning. In fact, it mocks their work, and that is why we must reject AI art.”

To continue...
Having a family tree that extends beyond the 18th and 19th centuries helps to establish a sense of continuity back into prehistory, because we garner a sense of where we would be in any given generation. Some modern Pagans choose to ignore their entire heritage from the Middle Ages simply because they don't have a family tree. It's easier to identify with projected, mysterious Pagan ancestors than it is with Christian ancestors from the Middle Ages if one lacks a family tree.
However, if you know your real ancestors—your family lineage from the 1800s going back to the 1500s, 1400s, 1300s, and earlier—you know yourself. It is perfectly acceptable to identify with our culture and ancestors from the colonial era, the medieval era, or the Victorian era and still be a Pagan. It is perfectly acceptable to practice the habits and customs, and to take a liking to our ancestors from any century, and still be a Pagan. For context, historical Germanic Pagans depicted the Gods in the cultural context of their day and were—for the most part—men and women of their time. They were completely connected to their ancestral heritage, knew their ancestors, and had established forms of worship without having to think about it—whereas today, many people don't have that. This is why it is so important to formulate these things.
A notable example comes from Adam of Bremen's 11th-century Gesta Hammaburgensis Ecclesiae Pontificum. In it, Bremen describes the way in which the idols of the Gods were adorned at the temple at Uppsala. Óðinn is described as wearing armour and wielding weapons (which Bremen likens to portrayals of Mars). This shows that historical Pagan Swedes depicted the Gods in armour and with weapons that were modern to them in their day. The same is true for the Lindby idol of Óðinn, the Rällinge statuette of Freyr, and the Eyrarland statuette of Þórr, all of which show the Gods wearing a conical hat that was common across Scandinavia in the Viking Age.
Rather than viewing our history as "Paganism -> gap -> revivalism," we should be viewing our history as a continuum. The Gods have always existed, and the functional structure and nature of the universe has not changed. Objective reality (i.e., that the Gods exist) does not—and therefore has not—changed due to shifts in consensus or changes in cultural context. We should strive to live in the now and cultivate the revitalisation of Paganism: enjoy and appreciate all of our history and all of our ancestors; use the sources on Germanic Paganism as a framework to establish our own authentic forms of worship; form real groups; and revitalise our worship of the Gods and the veneration of our ancestors.

Around 800 CE, Ireland had many small kingdoms, tuatha, under a Gaelic system with no central state.
Over 100 existed, each led by a rí túaithe, varying from 80–150 due to shifting borders.
Above them, rí ruirech ruled clusters, with dynasties like Uí Néill (north) or Eóganachta (Munster) as rí cóicid.
The ard rí at Tara was symbolic, per texts like the Annals of Ulster. Uí Néill (split into Cenél Conaill and Cenél nEógain), Connachta (west), Laigin (east), and Munster’s Eóganachta were key, with Dál Riata linking to Scotland.
Kings used cattle wealth and Brehon Law, while monasteries like Armagh grew powerful.
Norse raids hit coasts by 800, but inland kingdoms held.
This kin-based system lasted until Viking and Norman shifts.

In the Landnámabók, king Harald decreed that no man should claim more land in Iceland than he and his ship’s crew could carry fire across in one day.
The resulting land claiming ritual was described as such: at sunrise, a fire was to be made that would burn until nightfall, and everyone was to carry fire from it until sunset, at which point they’d use it to make new fires which formed the bounds of their new estate.
