Why Heathenry Doesn’t Work (In My Opinion)
This might make a few people mad but what doesn’t these days? Suffice to say, I cannot stand reconstructionist ideas in polytheism but I can only speak for Norse polytheism. I cannot speak for Greek or Celtic – though I suspect Celtic is the same way – but as a former heathen it just grinds Continue reading

On Divine Energy and How it Manifests
If we consider the fact that all things on this plane and beyond ours have a sort of energetic signature, some being lower or higher than others depending on its placement in the world, we can then know that we ourselves have a sort of energetic signature as well.

Gatekeeping the Divine in the Community
A recurring problem within the community is that people feel as though the Divine need to be gatekept. They use this sort of thing to their advantage and it’s not for any real reason that is ever explicitly appointed in any theosophical records or any part of any pantheon ever. It is simply humans who Continue reading

On UPG, Egregores, Sock Puppets and Beyond
An acronym that started going around the wider heathen community in the early days of growing reconstructionist traditions is UPG (unverified personal gnosis). It was thought to separate common thoughts, opinions, and experiences from well-known facts about the Gods. If the UPG is then shared, it can become Shared Personal Gnosis (SPG). If the SPG Continue reading
