A community to discuss Norse paganism and other related Germanic neopagan religions (heathenry, Anglo-Saxon paganism, etc). An open and inclusive space.

Rules

  1. On-topic. This community is for discussion of Norse paganism and related forms of modern or historical Germanic religion.

  2. No racism, homophobia, hate. This includes folkism and other forms of racism masquerading as "differences of opinion." This space is explicitly inclusive and affirming of different sexualities and identities.

  3. No trolling, spam, etc. Self-explanatory.

  4. Proselytizing is not allowed. If your sole goal here is to attempt to convert people to your version of The Truth, you will have problems.

  5. Neopaganism is not dogmatic. All varieties of belief (theistic, non-theistic, and everything in between) are explicitly allowed here. Discussion and disagreement about differences are allowed, but keep it civil.

  6. Do not use this community as an advertising platform. Occasional promotion is fine, but don't ONLY use it to promote your wares or services.

  7. Use common sense. Beyond the above rules, moderation of this community is fairly loose at the moment. Remember you are interacting with other people. Use common sense.

Hello, just thought I would drop by to let people know that, despite not really posting much (because no one else posts much), this community is actively moderated and watched. I have an RSS feed that shows me new posts.

This post isn't in response to any rule violations. Just thought I'd let people know the community is still alive.

I performed my first marriage ceremony this week. It was very sudden, so I had no time to prepare. Almost 20 years ago I was ordained by the Church of Spiritual Humanism, however the registration info was very outdated, so I registered with the Universal Life Church. But I would like to register as a Norse Pagan.

One of my boyfriends is heathen, so I dual-color 3d printed him a set of Futhorc/Anglo-Saxon runes. Hopefully they're correct, very much not an expert lol... The Wikipedia page made me a little unsure on which symbols should or should not be included. These are made from PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoates), a new-ish thermoplastic that's naturally produced by a variety of bacteria, and breaks down harmlessly in any biome. Then, they were polished in a vibratory tumbler and anointed in black walnut oil infused with white pine, bog Labrador tea, yaupon, and sweetfern. I posted the files elsewhere if anybody wants to print their own!
