anonrussiandude asked: fair enough, you have plenty of time to figure stuff out. and that's cool. Im a theatre technology major, but im taking an art class right now. I have learned that i am not as good as i thought at most things, but pencil and pen and ink... i can rock out pretty cool stuff. haha
anonrussiandude asked: Hey, decided I was interesting enough to follow after all? haha. So you're interested in art? what kind of art? what grade are you in? (i vote junior, but hey, you might be a child savant and be halfway done with college already). Where do you plan to go for college?

If you’ve been reading any Pagan blogs over the last couple of days, you’ve probably heard by now about the controversy brewing at this year’s PantheaCon regarding gender and exclusion. In a nutshell, a ritual led by Z Budapest was billed as being open to “genetic women” only. This doesn’t sit…

So I’m guessing that several people have heard about this, it’s been mentioned a couple places. It’s about the girl who got the note on valentine’s day that instead of telling her she was pretty or the boy liked her, that her garments were immodest and disruptive to the environment and…

Updated my F.A.Q.
So next time I get a question about a BoS, or what Paganism/Wicca/Asatru is I can just point you guys that way if you don’t read it before hand.
(Everytime I get a question about a pagan path I’ll add it to the F.A.Q.)

vikingbitch:
I know a lot of my followers are Heathens as well so I thought I’d share this.
It’s a very well kept and up to date blog about the goings on in the Heathen community in the US. (note: it is closely associated with the Asatru Folk Assembly)

pagannews:
I’ve been studying the path of Asatru for a few weeks now. I must say, I’m not disappointed in my findings so far. I don’t feel it would be appropriate to claim the title Asatru or Heathen just yet, I still have much to learn about the path. I’m excited to begin this part of my journey. Wyrd is…

Ok, so this post isn’t really about who will come out on top, it’s about why, in the Grove of Yews, we use the word Heathen instead of Pagan. Now I know that many people jump to the conclusion that Heathenism is specifially linked with the Northern Traditions,…

tovalholl:
you can’t be a heathen and completely not believe in the Gods . Either you believe in the Gods and are a true heathen, or your just some one who wears a hammer and is about rebelling against others. Heathenism/asatru is not about rebelling, it’s about so much more. Thor’s hammer is a sign of…

wiccanwarrior:
After most Wiccan’s learn to shield they tend to overlook the further possibilities and just how powerful the art can be.
Yes i call it an art, just like any type of magic from basic incantations to complex ritual that take place over weeks, all magic is an art and i shall always view/refer to it…
