The Wild Hunt (https://wildhunt.org/tag/norse-mythology)
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.
Over the course of the 2010s, it felt as though Heathens in the U.S. military made steady, if slow, progress on their religious rights. Pete Hegseth claims to have reversed all those gains in a matter of weeks. Karl E.H. Seigfried considers where Heathens go from here.
How should we imagine the gods of Germanic Paganism? Karl E.H. Seigfried argues for us to picture the gods not as figures frozen in the Viking Age, but as living, vital beings of the here and now.
Spurred by FBI Director Kash Patel’s unexpected invocation of Valhalla following the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Karl E. H. Seigfried asks: if, as Heathens, “we are our deeds,” how should we view the life and death of Kirk?
Karl E.H. Seigfried reflects on his 15 years of running the popular Norse Mythology Facebook Page and offers advice to new Heathens, including why you shouldn’t advertise your faith like a brand and why you should start making interlibrary loans.
