All Roads Lead to..

It's been some ups and a lot of downs. Faith doesn't excuse us from mental health issues. How do we deal with the hellscape that is mental health and also allow our gods to be there for us to help us cope? https://linktr.ee/AwakenTheNorthLinktree [email protected]

This week's episode is a special one, for one, it has its first-ever guests! Carla the Chancellor of the Regnbue Aett for Awaken the North, and Megan who is a baby heathen, but a long-time gay. It's June so I wanted to talk about being gay and being a heathen and trying to find our place and actually be who we are, with zero explanations and zero judgment. As promised, I would post the links to the resources that Carla mentioned Glaad It Gets Better Project The Human Right Campaign Point Foundation Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice National Center for Transgender Equality All Out And as always: [email protected] [email protected] https://linktr.ee/awakenthenorth

Did you know that there is no wrong or right way to set up your altar? Welp, there isn't, so lets talk about it. https://linktr.ee/awakenthenorth https://www.amazon.com/Essential-Asatru-Modern-Guide-Paganism/dp/0806541121/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=essential+asatru&qid=1686451261&sr=8-1 I never got a picture, I'll try to get a shot of it in the next podcast!

I had no clue what I wanted to talk about today, but as I talked, I realized what I needed to talk about, a lesson I had just learned. Listen to the gods! https://linktr.ee/AwakenTheNorth [email protected] https://www.amazon.com/Essential-Asatru-Modern-Guide-Paganism/dp/0806541121/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1I84RBXWSUR32&keywords=essential+asatru+diana+paxson&qid=1685841594&s=amazon-devices&sprefix=Essential+Asatru%2Camazon-devices%2C410&sr=1-1

Apologies for my extended absence. I discuss racism in paganism today. https://linktr.ee/awakenthenorth [email protected]

I have finally created my own yellow brick road and I have reached my own emerald city. So my path has been laid out, here are the last few touches needed before I pivot to taking you along with me on my weekly learning and thoughts, and new connections.  www.awakenthenorth.org www.https://awakenthenorth.teachable.com

This one was a doozy for me. I discuss some of the emotions I felt coming into Norse Paganism and some of the emotions I had once I had taken the steps I needed to.  As promised in the audio www.awakenthenorth.org www.https://awakenthenorth.teachable.com [email protected]

I get a little more raw here than I have in the first few episodes. Here I am trying to make sense of things and realizing I can't and that what I believed or was "supposed" to believe just didn't add up. One more stepping stone from Christianity to Heathenry.

I discuss my sexuality and even hint at my gender identity while I look back on why Christianity wasn't for me, and why converting to Norse Paganism was the best path for me.  www.awakenthenorth.org
