Hello lovely, lovely, intelligent RFers. I know you all love books, and many of you probably also love history. Well, I am here for a combination of these things. I need to know the titles of really good history books that cover the period of history from about 1750 to about 1815. General...
Has anyone offered a blood sacrifice (own blood) to any gods? If so: which gods/goddesses, for what purpose, and what method did you use to draw blood?
Hey guys! So starting this October I will be studying abroad for an entire year in Osnabrück, Germany. My first question is: does anyone want to meet up somewhere to hang out and maybe get coffee? There are a ton of people on this forum that I have always wanted to meet in person, and this...
I normally do not talk bad about religions nowadays, but I had to vent. Today was one of my little sister's First Communion. My family is Catholic, so it was obviously at a Catholic Church. I have to say: I am glad I am not Catholic anymore. I sat there the entire time just realizing how off...
Hey guys! I am back after not being on for quite a while. I have super-busy with school, and life in general. I missed you all so I wanted to come back at least every once-in-a-while. I am going to Germany in October for a year of studying abroad, so I do not know if I will be around...
Has anyone ever heard of the concept of the Fylgjur or of hamingja? They are concepts from the Norse variety of shamanism. Is having a lion as a fylgja significant in any way?
I am pretty sure this discussion has not been brought up in a while so I thought I would bring it up again.
I have renewed my study of Celtic culture and mythology and added the study of Norse mythology to my studies. I have always felt drawn to Brigantia/Brigid and I am also drawn to...
This will be the first of a few polls I want to make about the EU. I have a great interest in the EU and it will probably be my focus for my International Studies major. So I ask that everyone who responds please do so in a respectful and intelligent manner. I want thoughts both from European...

I am just curious about the linguistic variety of RF goers. Post what languages you speak in order of fluency. Feel free to discuss them if you wish. A sample sentence or paragraph of your language would be cool too.
English of the American variety obviously.
I also speak German..kind of...
Every once in a while I tend to revert back to the basis of my spirituality. This would be Taoism and Buddhism. I am a Ch'an Buddhist to be exact. I like following the breath more than focusing on the Dan Tien region however. Anyway that is off topic.
I was just curious if anyone tends to...
So a woman friend I haven't seen in a while made me start to reconsider what I want to do with my life. Originally I wanted to be a German/Education major and teach English in Germany. I saw her the other day and we talked for a while. She is an amazing woman. I am am now thinking of...
Has anyone read it? What do you think? I am only a few chapters in and I think it is amazing. http://www.amazon.com/Sin-Eaters-Last-Confessions-Traditions/dp/0738713562/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1280516288&sr=8-1
Well I had this in the General debate but that did not go over so well. So, I am trying it here.
So one of my favorite video games is Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. In the Shivering Isles expansion you meet and work for a man named Lord Sheogorath. He is the Prince of Madness. In a book...
So as you all know I consider myself a Humanist. And as such I am skeptical towards many supernatural things. Recently however there has been a nagging at the back of my mind. I don't want to believe in Gods and Goddesses or Fairies and such. But something in the back of my mind has been...
I was wondering if anyone knows anything about Left Hand Taoism or Buddhism. Also this is really the first time I am really going to look into LHP. Could someone give me a list of good books to start off with? Also also, has anyone heard of Mortin's List?
So one of my favorite video games is Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. In the Shivering Isles expansion you meet and work for a man named Lord Sheogorath. He is the Prince of Madness. In a book found in-game there is the 13 Blessings of Sheogorath. What do you guys think of them? I found them...
