We received two more statues to add to our scavenger hunt for the kids! These were hand carved by the very talented Wessex Woodcrafts. I would like to say thank you to him for taking the job on short notice, doing a great job (very detailed), and ensuring it arrived in time for Sumarmál 2025 in the Hills!
On the left is Baldr, son of Odin and Frigg.
To his right is his mother Frigg - the mother of the gods.
The kids are going to love leaving with statues of the gods.
Make sure you check him out and support his work here:

Our Grand Prize for Sumarmál 2025:
A Handcrafted Lyre!
We are honored to announce a truly special addition to our raffle—an authentic, handcrafted lyre has been donated for the event!
This stunning stringed instrument was built in Alaska using spruce, pine, and black walnut woods. Each piece is custom made and reflects the deep cultural significance of the lyre in early Germanic tradition—an instrument once used by skalds for storytelling, ritual, and honoring the gods.
Lyres like this typically sell for $500–$1000, and the talented craftsman behind this donation will also have one available for purchase during the vendor fair.
This is more than just an instrument—it’s a piece of our shared heritage. Don’t miss your chance to win it!

AI giving us some truth. I asked if AI considers us (the Norroena Society) folkish or inclusive and it's response was spot on. It even used folkish correctly in all regards to the term.
The Norroena Society identifies as a folkish group. Their focus is on the ancestral traditions, history, and religion of the Germanic peoples. They promote what they call "ancestral faith" or "tribal heathenry," emphasizing cultural and ethnic ties to the Germanic folk. Their approach is not universalist or inclusive in the sense of modern multiculturalism; instead, they advocate that Germanic traditions were created by and for the Germanic peoples, and that ancestry matters in the practice and preservation of these traditions.
They are often critical of universalist or eclectic forms of Heathenry, which they view as historically inaccurate and disconnected from the original tribal foundations of the religion. Their research and publications reflect a commitment to reconstructing and practicing the ancestral ways of the Northern European peoples based on history, archaeology, and lore.
If you're looking for a group that blends modern inclusivity with Heathen practice, the Norroena Society is not that group. They explicitly promote a folkish worldview rooted in ancestral and ethnic identity.

On the 25th of April, we will be hosting the Director of the Norrœna Society, author of Æfinlọgr 'Book of Sedian Law,' scholar and lifelong Heathen Mark Puryear!
We will go over Mark's research into the law codes in the historical Germanic Pagan past, explorations into divine connections, how it relates to honor culture, how they relate to the faith-ways and Mark's thoughts on how they can be reimplemented in our revival and much more!
This is a show you will not want to miss, only here at Pagan Revivalism channel t.me/Pagan_Revivalism
Save the Date, 04/25/25 as we dig deeper into the ancestor's ways, so too will our revival be more faithful and true

Given our responses during our latest poll, I will start to post different ways you can perform the rites and rituals. Keep in mind that what we will be going over is considered theological reconstruction - a process that aims to restore religious practices to their founding principles. This involves systematically developing religious beliefs and theories backed by source material to form a practical basis for the reconstruction of the rites.
For blóts we have reconstructed the 9 parts that make it a sacred rite. These are derived from the Hávamál. First I will give the blót structure. Most of which stays the same regardless of what blót you perform. The part that changes is the biðja - the prayer.
Helga: Hallowing the grounds with the sacred need fire.
Biðja: A Prayer to the gods. Here you ask for help/protections from the chaos of the Jötuns.
Signa: perform the hammer sign over the offerings, the altar, and the people.
Blóta: Offering the sacrifices to the gods.
Senda: Sending the sacrifices by burning, hanging, drowning, or libation onto the ground.
Sóa: Cleansing which is a form of atonement, done by sprinkling blood/mead/water.
Spá: Divination by the casting of runes.
Sumbl: Toasting to the gods and kinsmen and oath making.
Loka: Ending the rite.
In later posts we will focus on each specific part to offer guidance on how it can be done.

Investigations Into Germanic Mythology
28.03.202502:26
According to John McKinnell, when we look for genuine heathen voices, there are three or perhaps four principle sources:
a) Mythological eddic poems
b) Skaldic verse
c) Viking Age Picture stones
d) Contemporary Christian views of Norse heathenism
Dating the material is problematic. While some of the eddic poems and skaldic verses may have been composed after the conversion of Iceland, in particular those poems preserved only in late paper manuscripts and skaldic verses incorporated into later sagas, there is little debate that on the whole, the bulk of eddic and skaldic poetry contain authentic heathen material. If the physical texts of the eddic poems can only be dated to the thirteenth century, that is not to say that the poems themselves did not originate much earlier. Eddic poetry bears all the hallmarks of oral-traditional verse, including alliteration, repetition and formulaic construction, with direct analogs in both Old English and Old High German poetry. Evidence indicates that the eddic songs are the last vestiges of the ancient oral histories of the Germanic people which Tacitus, writing in the first century AD, says “form the only record of their past,”(Germania 2), and which the Gothic historian Jordanes, writing in the sixth century, confirms, stating that “in the earliest times, they sang of the deeds of their ancestors,” (Getica, ch. 5).”

What Is FAFP?
From Across the Fire Pit (FAFP) is a joint creative venture between writer and poet Edward England, and the Order of the Sacred Mannerbunde.
The purpose of the project is to share poetry, specifically made by England and members of the OSM, in both written and spoken format.
It is the belief of England that something is missed when poetry is simply read off the page, and in order to truly experience the depth of the furor poeticus, poetry must be spoken and heard.

This is a sequel and companion interview to the Who are the Gods of Germania returning with author & researcher William P. Reaves and the scholars at The Norrœna Society, Mark Puryear and Kyle Davis.
Sometimes the most profound findings of Theology are found by asking basic questions. Previously we discussed the 'Who' of Germanic Faith and in this interview we discuss the 'Where.'
I want to thank our guests for sharing their research, thoughts and theories. Stay tuned to t.me/Pagan_Revivalism for more shows and interviews going deep into ancient faiths and ways!

I’ve placed an order for several different designs, including a black V-neck long sleeve for women and two options, navy well as black long sleeve versions for men. It’ll be about 10 days before the womens V-necks are ready since shipping takes about a week for them and the order won’t be placed until Monday. The men's shirt should be ready next week.
The design features the sacred runic formula "ALU". Yggdrasil is printed on the front, while the back showcases an image of Odin, Thor, and Freyr seated at Urd’s Well, with an Irminsul and a sunwheel included in the scene.
