Finally, a decent pagan selector!

Not hugely surprising overall but I'm wondering how it is that I had "Old English Heathenry" at #2 and "Asatru" at #14, which seems really odd because I'd consider my heathenry a lot closer to the latter.

(no subject)

Someone told me I should pick up the latest New Witch magazine, so I did (actually I had Dan do it, they sell it where he works) and there is indeed an article on Asatru in it, by Galina Krasskova. It's actually pretty good--slanted toward the magazine's audience, of course, but nothing that I could see was wrong in it, and there were links to more detailed resources in the reference section at the end.

So, cool! A whole article on heathenry in a relatively-mainstream pagan publication? That ain't bad!

Oh, and elder daughter is feeling much better today. I'm still keeping an eye on her, of course, but she has been just fine so far.

To Odin

Hail to Odin, sharp-eyed holder of knowledge dear,
wisdom won and wisdom taken. Keen and cunning,
subtle of shade, grey of manner, grey of nature,
far-ranging your interest, far-reaching your hand.
Allfather, seeker of priceless understanding,
knowing one, risking much, seeing always the goal.
careful maker of deals, always skirting each edge,
master with whom warrior and poet rashly trade,
victory for soul, a bargain perhaps. Odin,
shrewd one, contriver of intricacies, worker
of fragile humanity, builder of world's end,
guided by vision, driven by need. Hail to Odin!
