I've been Uneasy for a while and have been trying to muddle through it. I realized that I Feel like many Catholics did when the changes came due to Vatican II to the Church. The Rites Changed, what was Wrong Changed, who went to Heaven Changed, even the Nature of those in the Trinity CHanged. It sort of how I Feel about the Changes in Heathenry since I "Came Home".
Back then, things were SImple. You Honored the Æsir, Vanir Disir and Wealful WIghts. You Blot, SUmbel and Husel...depending on how many of you were about;>. A Heathen was a sort of rough 'scout', Trustworthy, Brave, Honest and True. The Lore was your Guidepost to being Heathen. Without it you were nothing more than a Nordic Pagan, making things up as you went along and felt like.
Things have changed, or those that I Knew then seemed prominent because of the absence of things like the Internet. Either way, what I thought of as "Heathen" is not the majority in the public mileux anymore. I do Know where once my views were very typical they are now considered up to and including "nazitru". And me without a spiffy uniform....
I'm still Tru to the Æsir,Vanir,my Disir and all WIghts Wealful to Me and Mine. Whether I'm still "Heathen", by today's definitions is another thing....
Truth,
