The Wild Hunt (https://wildhunt.org/tag/pagan)
“Ten years already!” writes Lyonel Perabo in this retrospective. “This anniversary of sorts made me think back a little bit about both my “career,” The Wild Hunt, and Pagan journalism in general, and how it has all evolved in the years I have been a part of it.”
Lyonel Perabo makes his pilgrimage to the 2025 Midgardsblot festival, partaking in a sweeping day filled with ritual, scholarship, and the heaviest metal to be found anywhere in Scandinavia.
Karl E.H. Seigfried examines the role of duplicitous counselors in Norse mythology, looking at sources from Volsunga saga to Sörla þáttr to puzzle out what lessons these figures can tell us about our situation today.
Lyonel Perabo looks back at four works of interest to Heathens from last year, including The Fool’s Mirror from Troll Cat Press; The Elder Futhark from Hyldyr; the first volume of the International Journal for Heathen Research; and Sif Brookes’s Valkyrjur, Servant or Master?.
One day this August I picked up my phone and called Jens-Roger. “You know I told you the other week that I and my family were moving out?” “Yes, I remember.” “Well, I was thinking that before we leave for good, we should bury our daughter’s placenta. And we all really enjoy your place. Could we find a spot somewhere there?”
