Well, the time to bid farewell to My Lady is fast drawing upon me. We have been together for 13 years and the time has come for us to part ways. I have Served and loved Her for a very long time and that won't change much. However, it is time for me to move on. With this impending change, I have decided to research and explore my deep attraction for Asatru and Heathenry. To that effect, I have raided my book shelves, bought some new books and am looking into a small local group outside of Nashville. I don't see myself having a Patron/Matron again. I never liked the idea. It seems wrong to me on so many levels that I don't want to do it. Honestly, I had never heard of it before I came here. I know some folks have a favored God/dess, but not to the exclusion of the rest of the Pantheon. Growing up, I honored all the Gods of a specific pantheon and then got Called to Service. Now that I am done, I couldn't imagine ignoring La Familia in favor of one or two Deities. With this in mind, I am doing a lot of reading on all of Norse/Anglo-Saxon mythology to make sure I get the major Deities familiarized and at some point do some meditations on how my new daily spiritual practcie will work. I have a feeling certain God/desses will have fondnesses for particular days so I am looking more at a weekly practice per a daily schedule than anything else. And that is pretty much the spiritual update. :D
Keep the Faith, whatever yours may be.




It has always been my belief that to have a Patron or Matron you have to be called to serve a specific god or goddess and that they make the choice, not you.
EithneEven so, I also understand that honouring them and working with them is not to the exclusion of the other gods and goddesses in the pantheon but simply means that you relate more closely to them.
That is how it has always worked in the 20 years I have been working.
