Karl E.H. Seigfried travels through American landscape and American history, and considers how Heathen values reflect and intersect with both.
Many Heathens and Pagans have had the experience of being visited by the gods. So has Karl E.H. Seigfried, who recounts a vision of Thor. But in examining his long history of sleep trouble, Seigfried casts a skeptical eye on this experience.
Happy Halloween! To celebrate, Karl E.H. Seigfried considers novels by George A. Romero & Daniel Kraus, F. Paul Wilson, and John Bellairs, and what their horrors can teach us about the horrors that face us today.
The more of Romero’s films that I watched – and especially the more of his novel that I read – the more I also found a theology bubbling up through the blood that aligns with my own theology of Ásatrú, a modern religion that revives, reconstructs, and reimagines the ancient polytheism of Northern Europe.
