    Ronwé Murder, Tiefling Bard-Warlock

    Starting my Character Tome over because I hate myself (jokes, I want to have a more cohesive visual narrative of Ronwé through the ages and levels). This page is the cover page, depicting her at or close to her max level. This is the first page (and 1st Level), Ronwé at age 21 when she was...

    The Next Biggest Thing for America!

    Just when [REDACTED] wasn't getting weird enough, Conservative whack-job Lauren Boebert and professional liar and con-man George Santos have introduced a bill - H.R.1095 - that would instate a National Gun. Putting aside the pants-on-head bat[REDACTED] CRAZINESS of this bill, which gun, you...

    Missouri Republicans vote 104-39 to reject open-carry amendment

    Coming hot on the heels of rulings cracking down on the SCANDOLOUS dress coats worn by Congresswomen and the HIGHLY DANGEROUS drag shows, House Republicans just voted 104-39 to reject an amendment to state law that would prohibit minors from being able to open-carry a firearm on public land...

    Vandalism and Theft of Catholic Church

    Me posting this story may come as a surprise to some; I do so because it's the church at my old Academy. An Arkansas man has been arrested after he brought a sledgehammer and an axe into a local church and 'desecrated' the church's main altar. "LOGAN COUNTY, Ark. — An Arkansas man has been...

    Swedish Archaeologists discover 1,000-year-old Norse jewelry and coins

    In a recent find from Viggbyholm, Sweden, archaeologists uncovered a stash of Norse jewelry and coins dating back to 400 CE. Not only does this push back what's known of Norse culture, but among the find were coins from around Europe as well as Arabic dirhams, giving example as to the expanse of...

    A question for Jewish members:

    I've been watching through The Strain again (fantastic show, love it), and one of the main characters is Abraham Setrakian, an Armenian Jew. The show (and the books) rely heavily on his religion and heritage, but one thing that constantly reoccurs is Setrakian telling villains that they will...

    What is Samhain?

    So as not to spoil festivities, I thought to post this here. I recently answered an objection to "The Origins of Halloween Are Pagan" that relied on several misconceptions. So, to clear that up: The Irish tale Tochmarc Emire lists Samhain as one of four quarterly Fire Festivals, marking the...

    Salon des Amateurs

    "Amateur". Often taken to mean one who is unskilled, buffoonish, and incompetent in a given task, the primary definition is simply one who performs a service or hobby in an unpaid capacity. The etymology of the word is from the French ameour in the 16th Century, meaning "one who loves" and...

    The POE From a Heathen Perspective

    Over the past week or so, Meow Mix has made a few wonderful threads illustrating the Problem of Evil (POE) and the inconsistencies (well, problems) therein. In a nutshell the Problem of Evil is as follows: "God Almighty is the highest good!" "Well then why is there a load of bad in the world?"...

    Origin of the Bible (Branch Thread)

    Taking this here, from the "sex before marriage" thread. How you came to know and understand Jesus is understood, Elijah. The facts as conveyed prior to you is that the source of this "knowledge" was pruned and cultivated long before either of us were born, so that you would arrive at exactly...

    Freyr Headdress

    This piece is mostly handcrafted, of mostly natural materials. Hand sewn, cut, and burned with leather, deer antlers, ox teeth, and leather cording. The only non-natural materials are coins of various denominations and nationalities hung from the antlers, jingle bells, and the only machined...

    How Heathens Deal With Hate

    Recently a very prominent figure in The Troth (as well as Heathenry in general), Freya Aswynn was expelled from The Troth organization and her position as Elder and Councilwoman due to several racist and islamophobic statements, as well as homophobic statements. The Troth's public statement...

    Shamanic Mask

    Unfortunately I couldn't stage a better photoshoot yet (it's way too hot outside) but these are the staves I've added to my mask. Over the eye-patch is an illusionary stave, meant to allow to be seen what is normally hidden. On the sides are staves for protection from spirits. On the deer jaws...

    The Soul in Heathen Belief

    In Heathenry, there are multiple aspects to one's "soul". Hugr and Munr: Often taken as "thought and memory," it is also interpreted as one's instinct and desire, or the Left Brain (hugr) and Right Brain (munr). If one has a particularly strong hugr, it might even act out that person's...

    Ritual Shamanic Mask

    I've been working on making a ritual mask, based on one that I saw in Heilung's "Lifa" concert video. The deer jaws will be sewn to the sides. The eye-patch is meant to mirror Odin, and will likely have the Óss rune pyrographed over it, as well as various designs and runes added to the mask as a...

    Yggdrasil Tattoo (repost)

    Reposting in a general thread, so non-Heathens can appreciate it too. A while back I designed my next tattoo, and yesterday I got it. Yggdrasil houses Eight of the Nine Worlds, with the primordial forces of Múspellsheimr and Niflheimr represented by the sun and moon. The roots - through which...

Yggdrasil houses Eight of the Nine Worlds, with the primordial forces of Múspellsheimr and Niflheimr represented by the sun and moon. The roots - through which Níðhöggr entwines, connect with my Wardruna bindrune. This is done to...
