I cannot remember but I read somewhere that only people with fair eyes can go to Valhalla, I am white with brown eyes but anyway can someone help shed some light here please?

...there was the Creator. (But the Creator being by itself meant that it hadn't created anything yet, so I have no idea of what it was called before it "created" anything.)

Must you be practicing (such as doing blots and symbels) in order to be a Heathen/Germanic Pagan or is believing in the Aesir enough? Is sometimes leaving offerings and trying to live by the Nine Noble Virtues enough, rather than through ritual etc? Is it okay to have an Eclectic approach to...

Maybe not really a "beginner" issue, but anyhow. I am looking for texts and books regarding the Germanic conceptions of the soul. I.e. the different aspects/parts of it, in nordic/germanic thought (lík, hamr, hugr, minni, fylgja, hamingja and so forth). I have some basic texts by Vikernes, and I...

I have been, in my own opinion, christian my whole life. I have investigated and researched many different aspects and sects of christianity, (protestant, CI, LDS etc.) trying to see where I fit in. And I have never found anything I could fully commit myself to. I don't know how many of you have...

Christmas mania is upon us! This is all very new to me so, I really know nothing or very little about heathen traditions and holidays. With that being said, it is important to me that I atleast try in some way to honor the traditions of our people with my son this holiday season. I don't want him...
