Paganism

Opinion: Thor, Odin, and the High Cost of Fundamentalism

By Karl E. H. Seigfried | June 25, 2022

Karl E.H. Seigfried delves into the ways we interpret and misinterpret the texts that shape our lives – whether those texts are Old Icelandic poems or the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Asatru

Column: The World Tree, Heimdall, and All of Us

By Karl E. H. Seigfried | January 29, 2022

“The earth rotates around an axis drawn from the south pole, through the planet, out the north pole, and up to the pole star. With a bit of imagination, diagrams of this world axis show a trunk with roots in the earth and the pole star at the top of the leader. Old Icelandic poetry tells us of the mighty measuring tree. The growth and life of this tree parallel the growth and life of this world, and none know where to find the beginning point of its roots.”

Review: A Cauldron Overflowing with Sacred Knowledge – “Our Troth” vol. 2

By Lyonel Perabo | July 2, 2021

Lyonel Perabo reviews the newly published second volume of Our Troth, which covers Heathen deities, spirits, and other mythological figures.

"Rockridge Press"

Review: Getting all the Bases Covered with “Ásatrú for Beginners”

By Lyonel Perabo | November 6, 2020

Lyonel Perabo reviews Mathias Nordvig’s new introductory book on Heathenry, “Ásatrú for Beginners: A Modern Heathen’s Guide to the Ancient Northern Way.”

Arjuna

Column: The Left Eye of Odin (or Right)

By Karl E. H. Seigfried | August 29, 2020

Which eye did Odin lose, exactly? Karl Seigfried takes this and other overly-literal questions as a jumping-off point for an exploration of Pagan theology, including a comparison with the Bhagavad Gita that demonstrates why gods take on familiar shapes to become comprehensible to human eyes.

Tarot of the Week

Tarot of the Week

Deck: The Star Tarot, by Cathy McClelland, published by REDFeather, Mind, Body Spirit, an imprint of Schiffer Publishing, Ltd.

Card: Knight of Cups

The next seven days are apt to focus on advancing plans and projects that may call for dreaming large. Confidence in one’s ability to not only ride the wave of momentum that has been created, but to continue to devote energy and resources to maintain it is indicated. There is also the potential for multiple options for expansion to be presented that either may not have existed before or that went unnoticed. Dedication and sustained efforts have the potential to offer major dividends.

In contrast, while opportunities for furthering current endeavors may be available, the tendency to lean towards more conservative options has the potential to limit or even stifle growth. Unexpected delays are likely to cause frustration, particularly if projected plans for progress were unrealistic or not thoroughly plotted and researched. Taking extra time to fully assess plans and trusting the intuition can help to minimize possible delays and avoid obstacles.
