Odin's Wain

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

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.
• Asawiki - Wikipedia for Heathenry
• Poetry - Heathen poetry
• A Reading List - Suggestions on what to read.

Wiki How-Tos

Have you wondered how to be a Pagan? Do holidays as a Pagan around non-Pagans? Defend Wicca/Paganism to friends? Perform a Wiccan ritual? And don't forget - understanding a friend's interest in Wicca may save your friendship.

Well, if you didn't know how to do any of these things, here are the guides to help you along your way!

Random Websites

While killing time on the 'net today, I came across these websites.

Thelemapedia - an encyclopedia of Thelema and magick
Myss.com - a visual meditation
Vera Nadine - a wonderful blog about spirituality
The Heathen Women Forum - a rather new forum for Heathen Women
A Pagan in Hell - a little humor for the day

Young Pagans

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.

Labyrinths

Here are a few sites to explore more information about labyrinths:

The Labyrinth Society
A handheld labyrinth
Interested in a labyrinth that you can take with you and set up any where?

A Heathen Podcast

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

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.
