i like the heathen blot and norse gods

[Runs With Beetles]

hello everybody my name is runs with beetles. my spirit frolics through the fields of twigs and earth with my exoskeletal brothers and sisters.

awhile ago i was at a heathen blot *i think its so awesome they pronounce it like bloat!!! mrgreen * and i thought it was really cool and it really spoke to me and stuff, you know? i think i could get into norse gods and stuff and so i wanted to know about them and the religion that worships them.

can anybody help me? heart heart heart

there's a subforum here called Pathways. go there. some of us have threads that detail practice of Asatru [a religion that worships the Norse gods], which should help you out quite a bit.

Might want to read the source texts on the subject. For Norse deities, this typically means the Eddas, Poetic and Prose, and then maybe the Sagas.

Here's a question: What does the term blot mean?

From the context, probably a blót =)

Yep. So, ties to the word Blood and Sacrifice.

When I say "pour out," I'm referring to one of my very informal Blot's at my hoff in my front yard.

A full Blot only has a few more steps, but I'm lazy and easily distracted.

Most days I don't even use the horn - just the bottle. Sometimes I consider using a brown paper bag, too, but i never have any handy when I think of it.

now all you need is a 40 with that brown bag and we have Hobo Odin! you know, that fits so well with how many different disguises he's used; there might be something to that...

Remind me to tell you guys about the day I met "Loki" at the Olympic Club.

I'm always impressed with my friend Heidi. She doesn't expect non-Asatru to pour to her gods, but their own.

Sometimes, part of my pour out is the sacrifice of drinking stuff much stronger and rawer than I prefer.

Interesting. When I make offerings, I usually only do so of something I would share with someone myself.

There is an underpinning of "suffer" to some of the stuff I do with regards to Odin and Loki. It's similar to the sacrifice of being speared through the chest to a tree, only less potentially life threatening.

I also used to have a winter ritual of walking barefoot on snow. Gods only know what that was about; without snow, I haven't done it recently. Now the closest I come is walking on the beach when it's icy and half freezing myself.

I don't have a word for the underpinning of these actions yet.
