"If there's one thing I can do - it's TALK!" ~ Dr Who quote

Okay, the writers of the Christopher Ecclestone Dr Who episode Bad Wolf probably didn't think some minority nutjobs like me would quote them....

Tough poop!

If there's one thing I have seen, SO many times, and I hate, it's the tendency by US based heathens who have done really good work, and who have spent their entire lives fighting against the "culture of self" and the freakish distortions of some Hebrew mystic that permeate the United States, to then try to SILENCE any voice in Asatru / Odinism / heathenry that isn't all about, baking the potluck suppers, and making with the community love. Ideally with them in charge...

It doesn't always work like that, as there is NO burden of proof on anyone to try and make it work by those narrow, self-accrediting, standards.

It's as simple as this: do you trust your gods: or do you not?

I have recently seen solitary heathens such as me described as being proponents of "mental masturbation" - well, if that makes your gang-scene into "spiritual bukkake" - or a "godhi-gangbang" - then count me out!

(Or, maybe just get real, and choose your sexually-based metaphors with better care in future...? Really!)

So - is this blog going to pussyfoot about - NO, it is not. But it's also not going to use daft sexual metaphors in future, because... ick.

Is this blog going to fearlessly try and serve the solitary asatruar / heathen who are being SO dishonoured, SO mislaid? Yes it bloody well is, and it's not going to shut up, and it's not going to go away.

Our gods love us, we love them - whatever else we do, whoever else we are, there is NOTHING else needed to qualify.
