The Germanic Path

[anigreenwood]

For the interest of those who stumble on this thread as I did, several years after it dissolved or moved over somewhere, there are several significant books now on Norseidhr which I also recommend:

Diana Paxson - Taking Up the RUnes, Tranceportation - and her Wodin's Children trilogy. You get a sense of her spiritual kinship with that God of inspiration from the latter especially. As well, her Brisingamen (fiction)

Hilda Davidson - HR Ellis Davidson - Myth and Symbols of Pagan Europe; and Gods and Symbols of Northern Europe

Patricia Lafayllve has an excellent handbook, Freyja, Lady, vanadis: an introduction to the goddess. She and Paxson are both long time practicing heathens.

Britt-Mari Nasstom The Great Goddess of the North: Freyja

Best,

I am interested in both Anglo-Saxon and Celtic (Welsh and pre Anglo-Saxon England). Is it possible to celebrate the traditions and faiths of both without one or the other being compromised, or should I focus on one or the other?

As a Saxon Pagan myself, I would recommend the books by Alaric Albertsson: "Travels Through Middle-Earth" and "Wyrdworking: The Path of the Saxon Sorcerer."

In these books Alaric outlines the training, practice, and beliefs of the Saxon Drymann (druid) and their magic (drycraeft).

I would *love* to see senior OBOD-ers either integrating material like this into the coursework, or creating another series of courses around the Saxon path!

We are kind of trying that on this facebook group called 'OBOD Wyrd':

(it is a closed group, but OBODies and seriously interested folks are welcome).

It sounds very much like my Gewessi path - but I don't do Facebook (for professional reasons...)
