Einar BlackthornHOST
Freyja represents beauty with autonomy, the ability to determine her own path, walk it hard, and walk it well.
Einar BlackthornHOST
At this point, whatever label you thrust yourself into, pagan, Asatru, Vanatru, heathen, etc., I've always held the belief that learning to be your most authentic self and learning to remain that self no matter where you go is the most heathen fucking thing you can do.
Einar BlackthornHOST
It's also important to point out that the automatic Freyja hot argument does not mean you run to Sephora or MAC Cosmetics because Freyja needs the latest eye palette.
Einar BlackthornHOST
That would be UPG.
JasonHOST
Oh, no
Derek GilbertGUEST
... things like the Norse, uh, religion, which is a, what do they call it? Ásátrú, which is making a comeback.
JasonHOST
Wow.
Derek GilbertGUEST
And it's, in many ways it's because the, uh, the real, uh, character of these entities has been, uh, has been hidden.
Kirsty MillerGUEST
How do you mean?
Kate MadikaneGUEST
Druidry, Wicca, Heathenry?
Kirsty MillerGUEST
Uh, I think Anna said it would be Pagan.
Kate MadikaneGUEST
Oh.
Matthew FlavelHOST
It is a, um, foundational event for the AFA along the East Coast.
Matthew FlavelHOST
That was the big event that started it all with the transcontinental expansion of the Ásatrú Folk Assembly.
Matthew FlavelHOST
Um, it's a longstanding event, and it's something that, um, our current leadership at Frace-off, the Eriksens, have been such a very big part of over the years.
Matthew FlavelHOST
So I'm looking forward to that.
Matthew FlavelHOST
Also, uh, like, share, and subscribe wherever you are consuming this.
Matthew FlavelHOST
And if you see the, the clips and the shorts and the things, please feel free to share those and spread the word.
Matthew FlavelHOST
As I've said a number of times on here, at present, the biggest hurdle for the growth of Ásatrú and the Ásatrú Folk Assembly is that so many of our folk that should be here doing this with us don't know that we exist.
Matthew FlavelHOST
So that is, you know, unfortunate, but it's also a tremendous opportunity that I know so many people would love to come home to their native faith if they only knew about it.

Oh.
Dina RosenbergHOST
It's so interesting because as I was reading your book, I don't know.
Dina RosenbergHOST
I'm not very well-versed in Heathenry or Frigg or Freya or Odin.
Dina RosenbergHOST
It's not sort of the pantheon or the world that I'm well-versed in or well-steeped in.
Dina RosenbergHOST
However, I am...
Einar BlackthornHOST
And if you've been in pagan space long enough, you've probably heard myriad different words to describe just what the fuck it is we practice.
Einar BlackthornHOST
Asatru, Vanatru, Rokatru, Lokian, Thursatru.
Einar BlackthornHOST
Modern neo-heathen, Germanic polytheist.
Einar BlackthornHOST
And the list has this nagging tendency of going on Add fucking nauseam.

Einar BlackthornHOST
In other words, no, motherfucker, you can't have McOssatru, we have Ossatru at home.
Einar BlackthornHOST
Everything except the thing at home is actually Norse paganism.
Einar BlackthornHOST
It includes Asatru, Vanatru, Rokatru, Thursatru, Heathenry, Lokians, Yotnatru, I've yet to meet one of you fuckers yet.
Einar BlackthornHOST
People who refuse every label altogether.
Matthew FlavelHOST
But what was inescapable is that the God of the Bible is bad, is a bad person.
Matthew FlavelHOST
And even if that is the be all and end all of religion, and in doing so it freed me up to eventually come to Austria but it wasn't again it wasn't because the argument was one's intellectually superior to the other it very much was the idea of homecoming Throughout, it's clear in their covenant.
Matthew FlavelHOST
It's clear in the understanding of that.
Matthew FlavelHOST
It is the source of a lot of things in current events today, similar beliefs that, no, that is the God of Israel.
Ryan SmithHOST
One of the things that sets heathenry apart from many other pagan traditions and particularly ones influenced by Wicca is that we have a very different approach to what is right and wrong and why some actions may or may not be morally and ethically justified.
Ryan SmithHOST
At the most surface level, the obvious difference is around questions of force and violence.
Ryan SmithHOST
Heathenry, in comparison to spirituality derived from Wicca, tends to mostly be okay with the use of violence when it is justified and appropriate.
Ryan SmithHOST
There's also a lot of time given to topics like honor and being accountable to your word.
Ryan SmithHOST
When you blend all of that together, it's not hard for people to arrive at something that's very, well, Andrew Tate.
