For those of you wondering about the new guidelines for service members, check out this post from Odin's Warrior Tribe. As it says, pay particular attention to points 6,7, and 8 in the standards.

Saw this on a hike and thought it was pretty cool. Modern agriculturalists will tell you that mushrooms are a sign of good soil, but the Heathen in me says they're a sign of happy landwights.

The towering trees on our temple land are sheltering some small mushrooms on the creek bank. It’s always a pleasure to take in all the sights after a hard day of working on the land. We hope that y’all will join us next weekend to celebrate Midsummer in the shade of the trees and enjoy the frith as the summer winds bless us all.

This is something that’s a dynamic situation right now. We wholeheartedly stand behind the judgment of OWT in this matter, and we hope that many others will support them when the time comes. For now, one thing that you can do is go like any follow them. It’s an easy way to support people who support active duty Heathens.

That caption is a paraphrase of a famous line from the Havamal, but it felt especially appropriate last night. We had a great evening by the fire beside the creek, talking about life, the lore, and watching the moon and the stars trying to outshine the fireflies. Special thanks to Donna and Shannon for getting the fire started while the men handled the food.

In researching a new project, I came across this little tidbit. It's no surprise that the Ancient Greek philosophers who wrote about "The God" meant something entirely different than the spin that later Christian writers twisted into the desert god. What was a pleasant discovery was that the phrase was used contextually in almost the same way that people use "The Universe" today. Here's a little excerpt:
The value of the art of rhetoric, which was highly developed and respected in the classical world, while not as extensively developed, existed in the Northlands. In the Norse world, speech runes, or málrúnar, were a similarly valued artform akin to the classical rhetoric. Germanic heathens would have recognized the Greek rhetoric as málrúnar.
In addition to these generalities, the Heathen reader should recognize the ancient mindset about the gods described here by Xenophon. He says that some people do not honor the gods at all, and some people honor the gods as stone or wood idols. Some people of the time believed that there was only one god, and that others believed there were many. Clearly, when Xenophon says that some people only believed that there was one god, he did not in any way mean Yahweh, the god of the desert. The Greek is ὁ θεός meaning the singular god, as opposed to οἱ θεοί the gods, plural. This is important, because many later Christian writers attempted to twist this into simply God, meaning Yahweh. The real meaning when the Greek writers say “the God” is used almost exactly in the same context as modern people say “the Universe” when speaking today.

A very famous line from the Volsunga Saga says that when men meet foes in the fight, stout heart is better than sharp sword. This is true of armed combat as well as achieving goals. Men and women who are resolute and determined to achieve their goals will go further than those who have material advantages. What are some goals that you would like to achieve in your life?
