Which Pagan path do you follow? Share below in the comments! 😊

I'm a practicing Norse pagan. The Hávamál, while not holy book, is full of good advice. Don't get drunk and say unintelligent things, always look and be aware of your surroundings before you walk, and die with a good reputation. This is all very useful advice.

As a Hindu Namaste & Love to all my Pagan brothers and sisters. May the Gods & Goddesses bless us in our paths and life journey🙏🧡

when burning a fire, you see and hear the structure of life - colours and sounds - leaving the wood. Only some ash and soot is left behind. The minerals in the ash and the carbon in the soot will some day be woven into life again, creating structures held together by sounds and colours. To me, Yggdrasil is a picture of the structure of life.

Pagan god are accessible, they have problems and triumphs. All representations of life, nature and human consciousness. Great path to follow. Beware abrahamic intervention in the pagan paths.

This came at the perfect time, I've been trying to figure out which path my ancestors might have followed. We come from Switzerland/Germany and these are the two that have come up as possibly being practiced in that area.

Im a Norse pagan who lives on an Scandinavian island which is full of relics from both the Viking Age and the middevle age. So I strongly recommend going here if you are interested in Norse paganism. The island is called Gotland and is located in Sweden .

She's easy to listen to well spoken & educated in the topics she's expressing 🌸

"Celtic" was a a really common cultural/religious phenomenal across Europe. The Celts spanned what later became France and Germany.

I chose Anglo Saxon paganism because as someone of English background, an English speaker, and culturally similar I ultimately had way more in common with it. The similarities make it easier to understand, relate to, and adopt.

I usually suggest for someone interested in Norse Heathenism a few things...1. Grab and read as many books as possible. Its a lot of self learning. 2. Be prepared to transition to a more holistic natural life style. 3. There are many gods and its ok to have many favorites. They all affect you differently. 4. Not everyone goes to Valhalla. Most of us join Freya in her hall or the hall of the dead with Hel... as Valhalla is reserved for Odin's choice souls. 5. Once you've learned lots and have had some spiritual moments I suggest seeking out a community to join. It can change your life.

I've always been seen by myself and others as a non-spiritual person but in the isolation of social distancing I have found myself very interested in Celtic and Norse paganism. It turns out my ancestors are from Great Britain and North Germany so their pre-Christian faiths were probably Norse and Celtic, and maybe that's why I felt a connection with them. Thank you for posting :)

I know I’m almost a year late but you forgot about the Scottish! My father is fully Scottish and my clan has Celtic ancestry. Doing my research it’s just really tiring hearing the Irish get all the credit and us scots are completely forgotten about. It makes it increasingly more difficult for me because we do have a lot of the same deities but they’re pronounced differently in gàidhlig.

I love this! I like to take a cue from my ancestors who were from Germany, Scandinavia, Ireland, and Scotland. So I practice a combination of Norse and Celtic paganism. Personally I’m more of a solitary practitioner but I found both paths combine well together. Historically because of Viking conquests in Ireland and Scotland, this blending of traditions most certainly occurred in the past as well

[bigred]

I am a proud Norse pagan. Been brought up as Norse pagan and love it.

[jaredfromhr]

I would honestly recommend to look at your heritage and see what calls to you the most. Ancestor worship is a big part of paganism.

Nice Video 😉
I am both, Celtic/Germanic Pagan. Actually I don't find it absolutely necessary nowadays to restrict oneself to just one & only to have to decide on a single pagan belief. One should not forget that these two peoples have mingled over time, the Germanic tribes and the Celts. that is why there are so many parallels in terms of these beliefs. The Germanic tribes were the neighbors of the Celts and lived to the right of the Rhine. not a great distance. Even before the influence of the Romans, both peoples had celebrated the same festivals after the festivals of the year.
I am Swiss German and am proud of my Alemannic blood, but the Celts are also my ancestors. When the Alemannic Germanics invaded Switzerland in the third century AD, the Celts and the Alemanni in German-speaking Switzerland mingled and settled, built houses and settlements. Today's Swiss-German are a mixture of the Celtic Helvetians and the Germanic Alemanni. The Alemanni belonged to the West-Germanic culture. Our current Swiss German dialects are a West Germanic language variety. At that time there was a dividing line from north to south from the Roman-speaking areas, today's south and south-west swiss still have Roman blood. you see that the further south you go. Peace & Love to my Germanic & Celtic Brothers & Sisters and ALL Good Humans 🤝🏼.

I never once thought of being a pagan. Of course, I knew stories, I watched shows and such where I saw things.I always pondered on those times, but this time was different. At 14 years old a thought just popped into my head, and I felt inside of me that I needed to be a pagan. I felt trapped in Christianity and wasn't happy. Now I am learning, a little nervous, but happier. I feel like I will become a better person through this all. I keep hearing you don't choose to be a pagan, the gods choose you. Do not mistake my age for how mature I am. Only time will tell if I made the best choice.

Heck, even if you don't plan on practicing New-Norse Paganism, I'd recommend reading the Havamal. Has some really good life tips.
