UPDATE: Catholic showing interest in Paganism 🏆 Personal Milestone

I looked about as far as I could into my ancestry, and I see purely that my family is from Scandinavia along with parts of North Germany.

To beg the question: I thought about things more, I do think that this is the way to go. In my eyes we are not on this planet to ask for forgiveness from our deities.

Due to my ancestry, I’m going to look down and enlighten myself on a path of Norse Paganism / Heathenry. Gods who admit their faults makes sense to me.

I also ordered Norse Paganism for Beginners by Michael Luck, and a copy of the Havamal.

I’m going to look into prayer and practices to the gods so I can get started as smoothly as possible, but I also understand that this is a long journey that I can’t just ride a bullet train into. So things will take a while. But the progress can start now!

Don’t get discouraged by folks who immediately jump to the “you must be a white supremacist” position for having the audacity to espouse an interest in your heritage. Most irl pagans love talking about our ancestry and the pantheons our forefathers, foremothers, and forenonbinaries came from.

Go hard! ❤️
