    Hey kindred! I guess you know you made it as a kindred when they start referencing you on Wikipedia! Well here it is, our kindred listed and referenced a bit throughout the article, i think those of us who are publicly heathen should get a photo to put up!

    Warning: This is mostly subtitled for those that don`t like to read their movies :)

    This is about shamanism and plant usage, it is really neat.

    I have now had a chance to fix our forums. I really hope that people will start using them and perhaps post things on there in time! I will likely start cross posting posts to the forum as well as mention the forum on our twitter and facebook pages :)

    I hope that our forum will provide a place that can provide some information and perhaps let people get to know our kindred well!

    Just head over to the Forum to check it out!

    I have been SO swampped with personal stuff, book writting, publicity and promotion…ack! I had a few minutes to breathe and calm myself on the weekend and made this little shrine for Frigga! I think she would like it!

    I love the fact that fellow heathens write stories, and fictional stories are one of my favorites, as I feel that these stories could become the new book of folk tales :) One of my favorite haunts, An Independent Asatru, which I think is an amazing blog, has a section of ‘fictional’ stories about the gods, although one wonders how much was perhaps keened from the gods themselves :) . I really liked the one about the All-Mother, perhaps because I am working with Frigga and I am inclined to be drawn to her stories, but this was a very moving tale. Not only for moms who have lost a child, but for those that would understand this loss or want to help someone understand a loss. I was very impressed and moved by it!

    So, without further adieu, here is the link: An Independent Asatru, Fiction

    I saw this post on Facebook and found some other related posts, including one of the photographer’s own page, whom I was very impressed with.

    The photos capture these people so vividly, and it made me want to brave my fear of ice and cold and travel to meet this tribe!

    Truly amazing that there are still places to be found on Earth like this!

    Okay our kindred needs a VW bus! Seriously wish I could go to this, but I am posting it as it might be of interest to others:

    I mentioned to a fellow author that I think the more you write about the better it is. The payment does not matter, but what matters is getting yourself exposure.

    Free e-books are a way that authors can promote themselves, although I would suggest you have some friends or someone edit them for you, and ensure that they are polished and perfect. I think sometimes that reading other articles by authors and knowing that they have free e-books, articles and downloads for articles out there sometimes has driven me to buy a book later on down the road.

    So, in that vein, when I wrote The Heathen Shaman, I really had no expectation for anyone to find it interesting, nor really post it or offer to edit anything for me.

    Well, color me surprised to find that there were a few people interested in it, in fact that a fellow author and activist offered to edit the document for free, was a very welcoming surprise.

    So, I do want to say thank you to some people that really helped with The Heathen Shaman.

    1. Raven Kaldera for editing the document for me! Thanks Raven, it was very sweet of you to do that especially when you are so busy. (Raven Kaldera is an author and runs Cauldron Farm an NT Shamanism site)
    2. Penton Independent Pagan Media for posting The Heathen Shaman on the site :) , I really appreciated it a great deal and thank you so much for the nice comments about it!
