Sometimes it's funny how people say they are not mythic literalists but can only take the myths and their "modern interpretation" to fill the divine being they chose from there, with life.

And yes, it's about beings like Fenrir.

I've written this blog post on worshipping the Norse primordial cow, #Auðumbla. She's an important symbol of fertility, sustenance, and the land, and and as large herbivores her children, the aurochs, were an important part of ancient ecosystems. In this post learn about her place in Norse mythology and maybe your own practice, as well as the ecology of the extinct aurochs. Some researchers are trying to bring them back.

I'm an ecologist and having a career in that field has made a huge mark on my polytheist practice. I know pagans tend to be a bit crunchy by nature, but my education and training inform the way I see the world and that includes my religious ideology.

I'm not living in ancient or even modern Iceland, or Sweden, or Poland, or Scotland. I tend to focus on local plant and animal life and how they tie into my views on gods related to fertility, the land, and the seasons. Bird migrations inform my shifts in seasonal practice. I see Freyja in my local red-tailed hawks. Óðinn in the common ravens on campus. I know when to expect thunder storms and give to þórr ahead of time, while giving to Freyr during the milder rainy season. When crocus bulbs begin to pop up they tell me we're entering Spring and to thank Mokosz. An Cailleach blows in with the first frost.

One of course doesn't need to be a scientist to be keyed in like this, I know plenty of pagans who are not and are just as keyed in. For me though it's second nature, no pun intended. Having a localized practice brings me closer to the gods in a way that makes sense to me. It also informs how I interact with the land wights, making sure to leave offerings safe for local plants and animals when outdoors. It's brought me into the flow of life around me and I'm at grateful for it.

Norse heathens made their own good use of 'Viking,' I want to use 'Barbarian' just as much for us whose cult lie on the continent. 🔨

One of the best parts about being both a Heathen who venerates Freyja and an anarcha-feminist is that being slutty isn't just fun, it's also praxis!
