The Wild Hunt (https://wildhunt.org/tag/iceland)
The Wild Hunt rounds up another set of activities for people to travel while not leaving the house during the COVID-19 stay-at-home orders, this time focusing on livestreams and camera feeds of nature around the world.
Luke Babb dissects the role academic knowledge plays in contemporary Heathenry and considers how other ways of knowing could be elevated to create a more rounded approach to the religion.
Columnist Karl E. H. Seigfried writes on the tendency within the Heathen community to dismiss the actions of Heathen extremists as “not true Heathenry” instead of confronting the racist traditions that have been present in the religion since its modern-day foundation.
Columnist Luke Babb goes looking for the Hidden Folk in Iceland and has an encounter at the Icelandic Museum of Prophecies.
Pagan Perspectives
Today’s offering is by columnist Luke Babb. Luke is a storyteller and eclectic polytheist who primarily works with the Norse and Hellenic pantheons. They live in Chicago with their wife and a small jungle of houseplants, where they are studying magic and community building – sometimes even on purpose. The Wild Hunt always welcomes submissions for its weekend section. Please send queries to eric@wildhunt.org.
