Culture
The Golden Calf and American Idols
|
In the wake of a golden statue of Donald Trump being unveiled in Florida, Karl E.H. Seigfried examines the use of monuments in the U.S. – a story full of accusations of ‘pagan idolatry’ that has far more basis in the Bible and politics.
Living
Of Death, Dreams, and Divine Visions

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.
Culture
Pete Hegseth Breaks Teeth for Jesus
|
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.
Culture
A Nation of Dragons and Dwarfs
|
Fáfnir is not born a dragon. He is a man who kills his own father to steal his wealth, then turns into a dragon to embrace the gold he hoards without ever using. He symbolically represents the negation of values belonging to the culture that produced him.
