Har brug for religion??? Så vil jeg hellere lokkes af FornSidr eller Buddhismen end af Folkekirken.
Nu er det 54 år siden jeg meldte mig ud og har ikke haft "brug for religion" siden, eller for den sags skyld før.

A harrow he made me, laden with stones (now it's rubble that's become glass), that he reddened with new cattle blood. Ever did Óttarr believe in the Ásynjur.

By the old reckoning, today's moon marks the start of the veturnætur (winter nights). Historically, this 3-day period celebrated the end of the harvest season, the start of winter, and the coming new year. #asatru #vanatru #fornsidr #heathensky #pagansky [1/2]

Sigurblót also marked the end of winter, and it is in this way that most modern heathens choose to celebrate it... as life's victory over the cold months. We strive to keep these ways alive to honour our past and our gods. Gleðilegt sigurblót! #heathen #pagan #fornsidr #asatru #vanatru [2/2]

Freyr is best
of all heroes
in the Æsir courts,
he causes no maid
nor man's wife to weep
and loosens all shackles.

By the old reckoning, tonight starts sigurblót. Historically, this 3-day period was celebrated in preparation of the upcoming raiding/fighting season. A blót was done for continued peace, but called for victory if battle ensued. #heathen #pagan #fornsidr #asatru #vanatru [1/2]

Three thurse maidens came, mighty in dark power, out of Jötunheim.
Urð was called the first, second Verðandi, Skuld the third.
They scored on a tablet, there fate they laid, there life they chose.
They declare the destinies of mankind.

He should rise early who wants to take
the life or property of another.
Seldom does the lying wolf get the lamb
or the sleeping man victory.

By the old reckoning, tonight starts the two-moon period known as jól/Yule. The 3-day jólablót starts Feb 1st, during which no fighting or work is to be done. We strive to keep these ways alive to honour our past and our gods. Gleðilegir jólamánuðir. #asatru #vanatru #fornsidr #heathensky #pagansky

By the old reckoning, tonight's moon marked the Disting at Uppsala. Some hold a dísablót at this time instead of or in addition to the traditional one in Fall. In the states we're doubly lucky tonight with a blood moon. Gleðilegt dísablót if you celebrate! #heathen #pagan #fornsidr #asatru #vanatru

Too many unstable words are spoken
by him who ne'er holds his peace;
the hasty tongue sings its own mishap
if it be not bridled in.

On Ragnarök:

Surtr rides first, and before him and after, fire burning. His sword is very righteous, and it shines brighter than from the sun...then next slings Surtr fire over the earth and burns all the world. So is said in Völuspá.

But Hel said that it should be proven, whether Baldur was as beloved as is said. "If all things in the world, alive and dead, mourn him, then he shall go back to the Æsir. But held by Hel, if any speak against him or will not mourn."

During jólablót, it's said that no fighting or work was to be done, either because of veneration or simply due to the weather. Either way, we strive to keep these ways alive to honour our past and our gods. Gleðilegt jólablót! #asatru #vanatru #fornsidr #heathensky #pagansky [2/2]

I'm always conflicted about when to do blót in times like tonight when the full moon peaks in the a.m. hours. Should I have done it this evening? Do I do it tomorrow? Does it particularly matter? I'm sure the gods don't give a shit, but I'm very pedantic. 🤪 #heathen #pagan #fornsidr #asatru #vanatru
