Frau Holle’s pond on Hoher Meißner, Hesse, Germany. Roman coins dating back 2000 years have been found in the pond, showing it was used as a place of worship, and today, people still leave flowers for Frau Holle at the pond.
Many of the folktales about Frau Holle originate from Hesse, and local folklore maintains that Her home and an entrance to the otherworld is at the bottom of the pond, from which She watches over the dead and the unborn, who enter the world through the pond.
In places such as these, paganism is a living tradition.

A heiti used for wolves in skaldic poetry was heiðingja; heath-dwellers, plural of heiðinn (heathen), often when describing wolves feeding upon the fallen after a battle, retaining an association with Freki and Geri, and Heathenry itself.
“The heath-dweller’s hunger was brought to an end; the grey howler enjoyed wounds; the ruler reddened the whiskers on Fenrir; the wolf went to drink from wounds.”
~Magnússdrápa Erlingssonar, 13th Century
“Heiðingja sleit hungri;
hárr gylðir naut sára;
granar rauð gramr á Fenri;
gekk ulfr í ben drekka.”

“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.”

Wudufugol
28.03.202505:01
We would like to announce the formation of The Wudufugol, a collection of heathen hiking clubs spreading across the United States and Canada.
We felt a need to form this club due to the perceived lack of any other group that shares our values and passions for deep ecology, naturalism, the pursuit of an active lifestyle and most importantly to authentically worship the holy Gods of our Forefathers.
Our name is a word play of the famous Wandervogel, as we wanted to honor that generation of forest pilgrims.
Wudufugol is old English for “forest bird” particularly a bird of prey.
This channel will both document our pilgrimages into nature, our heathen siðr, as well as being a medium to network with like minded Heathens as we see fit.
🌲 Hail to the Wudufugol 🌲

“While the sacrifice of a slain animal is more sociable, more universal, and is usually offered by the collective nation or community; fruit or flowers, milk or honey is what any household, or even an individual may give. These Fruit-offerings are therefore more solitary and paltry; history scarcely mentions them, but they have lingered the longer and more steadfastly in popular customs.
“When the husbandman cuts his corn, he leaves a clump of ears standing for the god who blessed the harvest, and he adorns it with ribbons. To this day, at a fruit-gathering in Holstein, five or six apples are left hanging on each tree, and then the next crop will thrive.”
~Jacob Grimm, Teutonic Mythology

Several figures gripping their beards have been proposed to depict Thor blowing through His beard to raise winds as described in the older Óláfs saga Tryggvasonar.
However, the Rällinge figurine is usually identified as Freyr due to the exaggerated phallus, and as another God governing the weather who “rules over the rain and the shining of the sun” as attested in the Gylfaginning, if the beard-gripping gesture does indeed denote raising winds, it’s entirely possible that it was also attributed to Freyr.

The Old English Gospel of Nicodemus mentions a Seo Hell (Lady Hell), who is driven from Her realm by Satan.
While this may refer to Hel, it may also be an Anglo Saxon inflection of continental Frau Holle; OE helle is cognate to ON hollr (good/wholesome/benevolent) and OHG hold/hulda, from which Holle derives.

In the Vatnsdæla saga, Ingimundr is given a small silver figure, called a hlutr, of Freyr by king Harald. He meets a Sami shaman who predicts he will lose it, and find it where he is to make his new home; which he does in Vatnsdalur, Iceland.
Similar to how in the Landnámabók, other explorers would throw their high-seat pillars, often carved with an image of Thor, into the sea and make their homes wherever they came ashore.
The term hlutr derives from Proto-Germanic hluta, meaning fate and/or to cast lots, from which the term hlaut also derives.

The Ledberg Runestone and Gørlev Runestone bear a bizarre runic formula;
ᚦᛘᚴ×ᛁᛁᛁ×ᛋᛋᛋ×ᛏᛏᛏ× ᛁᛁᛁ×ᛚᛚᛚ
The formula is translated as “þistill, mistill, kiskill”; Thistle, mistletoe, casket, with the first three letters grouped together, and the rest together in groups of three, the sacred number likely significant.
It may have been an apotropaic charm, as thistle and mistletoe have medicinal properties, with multiple recipes in Bald’s Leechbook calling for them, as well as religious significance. Its use on memorial runestones may have been to help the dead in the journey to the afterlife, and/or to prevent them from rising as a draugr.

An Anglo Saxon keystone brooch, found in West Ashton, Wiltshire, 6th Century. The cells would have held gemstones, likely garnets, and each chip-carved panel contains two Salin-I style ravens. ᚩ
