Column: Politics of Religion, Religion of Politics

By Lyonel Perabo | January 5, 2019

Pagan Perspectives

Today’s column comes to us from our international columnist Lyonel Perabo. Lyonel holds an M.A. in Old Norse Religion from the University of Iceland and resides in the cold, Arctic city of Tromsø in Northern-Norway (69° north), where he works in the tourism industry, principally as a tour-guide, as well as a writer. His personal research focuses on local history from northern Fenno-Scandinavia, the Viking Age, and circumpolar religions, among others. 

The Wild Hunt’s weekend section is always open for submissions, Please send queries to eric@wildhunt.org. I doubt any reader of The Wild Hunt has heard about Knut Arlid Hareide and the political party he helms. Why would anyone need to, indeed, unless they happened to be a fellow compatriot of his? Yet, Hareide is, in some ways, quite important.

Tarot of the Week

Tarot of the Week

Deck: Tarot of Mystical Moments, by Catrin Welz-Stein, published by U.S. Games Systems, Inc.

Card: Major Arcana, (XXI) The World

The week ahead holds the potential for fulfillment, success, and recognition of accomplishments. There is also likely to be serious contemplation and reflection of the spiritual aspects of the journey that led to the completion of achievements. For those projects not yet fully realized or finished, there is likely to be intense energy towards making sure they are successfully concluded. Opportunities for travel, if that is on one’s dance card, are also more possible.

Contrarily, delays, obstacles, and distractions have the potential to delay sought for and desired outcomes. The temptation to indulge in apathy by giving up and withdrawing may be extremely strong, especially when faced with disharmonious situations. At the very least, feeling stuck or unable to move a project forward is possible. The best advice for those situations is to take a break, re-evaluate, and then decide on the course most likely to overcome any obstacles to success.
