Welcome to Heathenry

I believe in the Norse gods and still hold the belief that I will go to Valhalla when I die. I also go by the nine noble virtues and pray to my gods. However I am also practice magic and stuff. What would you say about my dilemma?

A lot of Heathens are also magical practitioners. We have nothing against it, save that Seidhr was traditionally a more feminine practice. We've grown in maturity since then, so there's really no issue at all. =p

OK, thanks

This is very interesting! Thank you for posting :D

Haschel, I hate to be that one guy that complains about something, but in one of your posts you said that you will go to Valhall. Well don't be too sure about that, because there are other places that you may go upon death. Valhall is the Hall of the Slain, where warriors go. Unless your going into war or battle in your future I wouldn't be too precise about where your going to end up. Don't take this badly, I just mean to be specific. Hails!

No I said that warfare was a part of there initial society, to be clear I worship and serve them also, I'm a soldier, I don't view things from a civilian perspective, there was a time when civilians could fight, but alas I was born in the wrong century perhaps. I meant no offense just making clear a historical point. To be sure we who are true blooded Nords are still as tough as we were then. Also thanks for the original post. My ancestors smile upon me, may you say the same.

Thank you for this post! I study and follow Heathenry (specifically odinism) but I still need to learn a lot more about it.

Heathenry Motto

Odin and Skadi guide me, I follow, I know not where they will take me, but I have faith in them and will serve them as they guide me on my path.

A good introduction. Also this forum shows admirable restraint. Anytime anyone says anything about the Nordic creeds, another practitioner is bound to show up with remarks like, "The uralt Eastern branch of the Visigoths specifically did NOT do that when furgling the Freya fir according to bathroom graffiti by Tacitus recently unearthed in Slovenia! I cannot believe how IGNORANT you are!!!" So kudos to both author and readers.
