Odin's Wain

2007-11-05T22:25:00.000-08:00

I found these sites while looking up info about Odin's Wain after reading "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman:

Wodensdaeg
Pagan Astronomy - The Big Dipper
Viking Cosmology and Myth - This site claims that it is Thor's Wain (scroll down to the section on Thor)
Cultural Astronomy - This site says that has been attributed to either Odin, Thor or Irmin.

Now, I'm not sure what this has to do with Odin's Wain (it came up in the search) but I'm including it because apparently someone thought that Odin had enough of a sense of style that they needed to name a clothing store after him.

Eddas And Sagas

2007-10-28T11:28:00.000-07:00

Going along with what I wrote over at A Pagan Sojourn, I wanted to list a few places that you can find the Eddas and sagas of Norse mythos online. Here are a few sites:

The Eddas

The Eddas (at Northvegr) - various translations and versions of the Eddas including both the Prose Edda and the Poetic Edda.
The Eddas at Questia - A listing of books, journal articles and magazine articles about the Eddas.
The Poetic Edda (at Sacred Texts)
The Prose Edda (at Sacred Texts)

The Sagas

The Sagas (at Northvegr) - Lots of sagas (but not all); a good place to start
The Icelandic Saga Database - different version of the sagas; also translated into several languages
The Sagas (Wikipedia)

Other Sites of Interest

Viking Answer Lady - An interesting site that contains information on the history, art and a variety of other information having to do with Vikings.

Young Pagans

2007-04-13T22:29:00.000-07:00

Young Pagan Rants is a new blog that I found through one of my commentors on A Pagan Sojourn. The blog is written by five young pagans (in their teens and twenties) and will give us a new perspective on what it is like to be a Pagan. I was particularly taken with the perspective of a young, African American man that has decided that Paganism is his path despite what people say to him.

Go check it out!

A Heathen Podcast

2007-04-11T12:08:00.000-07:00

While I have yet to listen to it, I just found a Heathen podcast. Ravencast - The Asatru Podcast looks like it will be interesting with podcasts about Loki, ethics, and what it means to be a "newbie." I will be downloading these to my MP3 player for something to listen to on my trip.

Ritual Worksheet

2007-03-31T21:53:00.000-07:00

While browsing for nothing in particular, I found this Ritual Creation Worksheet. 7 pages to map out the ritual as well as a section at the end to take notes afterward.

List of Deities

2007-03-10T13:50:00.000-08:00

While I know that Wikipedia's information can sometimes be suspect and must be looked at with a critical eye, I found a listing of Gods and Goddesses of various paths and cultures. It is a great starting point for learning about any Gods that you want to learn more about. It is a huge list.

Goddess - Empanda

2007-02-12T12:39:00.000-08:00

I've been looking up information about the Goddess Empanda (aka Empanada) who is the Roman Goddess of charity, generosity and hospitality. There does not seem to be much information about this Goddess on the internet. I will have to check some of my mythology books when I get them unpacked. Until then, here are some links that I have collected:

GodChecker
Thalia Took
The Ancient Library

What Are Your Health Risks?

2007-02-07T22:30:00.000-08:00

As Pagans seem to frequently talk about taking care of themselves, I thought that this would be good to share.

On their website, Harvard Center for Cancer Prevention has some questionnaires that you can answer to determine your level of risk for different cancers, heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, and diabetes.

Welcome!

2006-11-06T14:33:00.000-08:00

I wanted a way to catalog Pagan (and other) links that I find without putting too many links up my main blog as well as losing the links within my bookmarks. Plus, this is a great way to share the links that I find with everyone!

If you know of any other great sites that should be highlighted here on this blog, please let me know. My email address is in my profile.

Books People Read

2006-12-15T21:45:00.000-08:00

I love to find out what people are reading, what they intend to read, and what they recommend. Here are a few links to such lists.

Celtic Path - Their tribe's recommended reading list.
British Druid Order's reading list
A reading list at Witches Voice
Ancient Order of Druids - First and second degree reading lists

And of course, my newly created list of what I want to read now that I am done with school.

Celtic Tale

2006-11-29T19:32:00.000-08:00

I want to highlight a great website of a group in Colorado who call themselves Tuatha. I have to admit that this group intrigues me and if I lived closer to them I would be contacting them to learn more about their group.

One of things that caught my eye is their reading list. (Surprise, Surprise) I will be added many of those books to my reading list as I am always looking for great books of this subject matter.

(Found through the blog, Little Heathen Fox)
