On a low point of my life i looked to the sky for answers. I saw a face staring back, old one eye. Some will say that it was a cloud and nothing more. Yet, from that time I have begun to understand myself and my enviroment. The Gods can't think for us to act or live, but they give us encouragement when needed most. So i look to odin, and try not to listen to loki.
Erick - Thursday, July 08, 2004, 22:25:03 PDT
I am not dedictated to a single God. I choose to follow Thor, Magni, Odin, Tyr, Modi, Vidar (the warriors) and Freya. And to all the xians who look at this - no one here is afraid of your hell, but if its so easy to get a front row seat maybe you could check it out for us. Also, I am new to this religion so any advice on how to honor these gods would be great, right now all I know how to do is pray. My email is white87crane@aol.com
Frey - Saturday, June 26, 2004, 05:50:04 PDT
Frey is the first god because everything that is or supports life has a right to grow to its limits and give its effects

It is very interesting to hear all these different opinions, however I have more of a question to ask rather than a comment to make. I lean towards certain Deities e.g. Hecate, Gaia, Freya and so on, but I was visited by Woden/Odin in a dream and told to claim my inheritance. He seems to be lingering in my life now and I have been drawn to the Runes, which previously did not interest me (I dabble with Tarot, etc). Now I close my eyes and ask questions and receive Runic symbols. I strongly believe that this is from Woden/Odin as it seems to have become stronger since He came to me in a dream. My point is, maybe we don't choose the Deities, maybe they choose us! Blessed Be
Derek - Thursday, May 20, 2004, 10:08:51 PDT
I believe that all gods and all faiths contain some wisdom, it is the chosen path, not the goal, of one's quest that causes spiritual growth. I have chosen a paht that reflects my heritage and instinctive feelings.

Yes we croats worship our old gods like Perun (peroon),Volos,Majka Zemlja, Svarog, Baba Jaga e.t.c. my people still do old traditions like vuzmenka, ivanjski kresovi...(it all has to do with fire cause slavs most sacred element was fire). Noone teaches us that Our people just do it for centuries its a big part of our culture.

PS... When i was little my Oma taught me a strange way of writing and the "secret" meaning of each letter... when I was older I realised it was the "verboten" Anglo/Frisian FUNTHARK... She also gave me a Thunar's hammer to protect me... I wear it to this day... She also taught me whom the days of the week are named... I always wondered why every 21st of December eve my father, brother and I would build a bonfire in the woods... One time I asked my father why my family only goes to church on Christmas and Easter. He said, "it's to keep the Kaiser from breathing down our necks." My father taught my brother and I several stars and constellations that he learned from Opa who learned them from his father... imagine the look on my face when it occured to me that these where all navigation stars commonly used by my Vikinger ancestors... Ummm... I wonder why I have always been in awe of strong and loud thunderstorms. Thank you old women of my tribe... for passing down those bits and peices so that now when I'm a man I think and wonder... "what does the God of semetic tribe wondering in the desert have to do with me?" Thank you Rabod and Widdukind for atleast trying to keep those various outlander tyrants away from us all... "lever dod als slaav!"

I admire and follow Odin the most. Since youth his figure fascinated me. Though being a pagan for long years, he is the first god whose presence touched me in such a way that belief stopped being a "game" (you know, the old rational self sneering at the emotional self) and became "earnest". I feel I have found a center that I lacked before. I also pay homage to the other Aesir/Vanir, but I´m afraid I tend to neglect them in favor of Odin. Principally, I also respect any other deity´s existence, for this is -to me- what polytheism is about. Thus, even the Christian God may have his place somewhere - he isn´t such a bad fellow as some of his would have have him ;-) Blessings to all !
Larry - Sunday, April 11, 2004, 05:16:18 PDT
I don"t think "dedicated" is the right word for it. While it's true that people "belong" to one god or the other, dedication to one god means ignoring the presence and influence of all the rest of them. As followers of a polytheistic religion, we have to at least acknowledge the existence of ALL the gods and goddesses or our own system of beliefs is null and void. Each individual deity has an influence on us to a greater or lesser extent, and we must honor them for that if nothing else. To dedicate yourself to one, to me, seems like an exclusion of all others. I am one of Ullr's. I honor him myself at every sumble I attend by name. I feel justified in this because I am one of his, but that doesn't mean I don't pray to different gods or goddesses for different purposes. That's what they're there for. To handle that which is within their realm of influence. Following the tenets of one principally is fine, but excluding or ignoring the rest could possibly bring their anger. At the very least, they are likely to return your consideration of them when you do need their help.In that light, shouldn't the question be, "Are you aligned with one deity"?

Alex the brand-new "convert" - Wednesday, March 24, 2004, 07:19:48 PST
I'm undecided. If I have to make the decision based on my goals I would choose Odin or Heimdall or even Hel. But if I have to make the decision based on whose god or goddess would help me in times of trial & confusion I would choose Frigga or Thor. Right now, I pray to the gods almost every night but I'm a little new in this & my prayers seem very christian-like because they're generally full of fear & desperation. I'm trying to get calmed though because I do consider the gods as my friends & I guess they won't punish me for being a little dumb-headed about their cult.
Waldwulfen - Tuesday, March 23, 2004, 14:56:26 PST
I am dedicated to Wodan. I was dedicated to Donar, but I have more in common with Wodan. I am constantly thirsty for knowledge, and that is the mark of a true Wodanist.

Hammer Skald - Thursday, March 18, 2004, 08:07:43 PST
Child of Faith, You are attempting to judge others by your own definitions and by your own practices, a very one-sided and closed-minded approach to anything. All religions are valid including yours. It is only in your religion that you seek to judge others not of your faith whereas we do no such thing. Also please realize that despite what your priests or ministers may have told you, the imagery of your god dying on a cross, pierced by a spear only to rise again some time later is no different than Odin who hung on a tree, was pierced by his own spear and continued to live after gaining wisdom. Or of any of the numerous agriculturally-based religions in which a god dies and is reborn right around your Easter -- the coming of Spring and the rebirth of the Earth, symbolized by a mother (your Mary) and the son (your Jesus). Is it any wonder that your "son of god" is born at the time that the "sun, a god" is also "reborn"? I refer to, of course, of your Christmas and the winter solstice, the day after the solstice being when the days become longer. Also is it any wonder that your god "rises" after death within weeks of the vernal equinox, or the beginning of spring? A time when the earth is reborn after "dying" during the winter? Christianity is nothing more than a rehashing of old tales, my friend. This does not invalidate your religion, however. It puts into perspective that which you preach. We thank you, I'm sure, for your well-wishing beliefs of trying to "save" us. But you've come on to our doorstep with your preachings. How would we be treated if we came to your church and preached the Nine Noble Virtues? Or of Odin or Thor? We would not be well-received. Of that I am certain. On the other hand and by using your own rationale of being in the right, we could judge you according to our tenats. Especially those of the hypocrisy of your god and those who follow it or even the gross inconsistancies of your bible. Again, this does not invalidate your religion; rather, I state fact. I chose this path not because Christians did me wrong but I chose it because it is mine to follow as much as yours is yours to follow. Your religion preaches that it is the only "true" religion, that all others are "false" or of the work of your devil. I'm glad you have enough faith in your religion to believe in all of that so much as to wish our spirits well. Thank you and may Odin grant you the wisdom to see that other religions are just as valid as yours. Starkad P.S. For this poll, I am Asatruar, a believer of all the Norse gods. My Kindred's patron is Þór.
child of faith - Monday, March 15, 2004, 21:32:45 PST
THINK ABOUT THIS; BEING A GOD IS A VERY POWERFUL STATEMENT. THE DICTIONARY STATES THAT A GOD IS A BEING OF MORE THAN HUMAN ATTRIBUTES AND POWER;THE SUPREME BEING, THE ETERNAL AND INFINITE SPIRIT, CREATOR AND SOVEREIGN OF THE UNIVERSE. IF YOUR GOD CAN ONLY HAVE ONE POWER LIKE MAKE IT RAIN, HOW DOES THAT MAKE HIM A GOD? WE ALL HAVE TALENTS AND GIFTS BUT THEY ARE DIFFERENT. THEY WORK GOOD BY THEMSELVES BUT EVEN BETTER TOGETHER. ITS LIKE A MOVIE, YOU NEED ACTORS, PRODUCERS, STAGE MANANGERS, PROP HANDELERS, MAKE UP AND HAIR ARTIST ECT... TO MAKE IT RIGHT. BUT UNLESS THEY WORK TOGETHER, THINGS DO NOT GO RIGHT. SO IT IS WITH HAVING MANY GODS. ONE GOD MAY WANT IT TO RAIN WHILE THE OTHER WANTS THE SUN TO SHINE. SO WE HAVE ARGUEMENTS LIKE WITH ZEUS AND THE GREEK GODS. WHY BELIEVE IN A GOD THAT IS JUST AS CONFUSED AS MAN. JESUS DID DIE FOR OUR SINS. WE CANNOT SAVE OURSELVES, JUST LOOK OVER HISTORY AND YOU WILL SEE HOW EVERYTHING MAN CREATES THE EARTH OR ELEMENTS DESTROY. BUT YOU CAN NOT DESTROY THE EARTH OR THE HEAVENS BECAUSE YOU NOR THE DEVIL MADE THEM, GOD DID. IT MAKES ME SAD THAT THE MISTAKES SO CALLED CHRISTIANS HAVE MADE HAVE TURN YOU AWAY FROM THE ONE TRUE LOVE. CHRIST IS WAITING FOR YOU TO SEE HIM FOR WHO HE REALLY IS. MY GOD CAN DO ALL THINGS AND I DO NOT NEED TEN GODS TO DO WHAT MY ONE GOD CAN DO. I PROMISE YOU THIS, (NOT BEING HATEFULL FOR YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO CHOOSE WHAT YOU WILL BELEIVE) BUT ONE DAY BILLIONS OF PEOPLE WILL NOT BE HERE AND NO ONE WILL KNOW WHERE THEY HAVE GONE. THAT IS BECAUSE CHRIST IS COMING TO TAKE HOME THOSE WHO FORSOOK THIS LIFES LIES AND DECIETS TO BELEIVE WHAT COULD NOT BE SEEN. THAT IS THE BASIS OF TRUE CHRIST LIKE LIVING, FAITH WITHOUT FLESHLY DECIET. THE TIME IS COMING AND ALREADY IS HERE THAT THE SIGNS OF HIS COMING ARE EVIDENT. PLEASE, REEVALUATE THESE BELIEFS IN ALL THESE GODS BEFORE IT IS TO LATE. REMEMBER, THE DEVIL HIMSELF CAN APEAR AS AN ANGEL. BE SAFE, LIVE WELL,

I'm more dedicated to Thor than to the other Gods and Goddesses, but I have strong ties to Odin, Skadi, and Freya, and I have strong respect for all of the Norse Gods and Goddesses.
Gunnar Torvaldsson - Sunday, March 07, 2004, 19:02:19 PST
The strengthening sun of winter transitioning to spring, with the snow melting off the roof and the fragrance of evergreens and thawing earth is an archetype in the soul of the Nordic man, evoking memories of our folk in ancient times forming a circles of community in the villages, singing and dancing to herald the arrival of spring. Only the Nordic soul can truly be exhilarated by the light, energy, and boundless optimism of Midsummer Night, especially when celebrated in the northern latitudes. Likewise, even the bleak, cold, dark nadir of Yule has a calm, resolute serenity, with the hope of brighter days to follow. True paganism is the natural expression of a folk's understanding of life, nature, and the universe, the affirmation of the wealth of its wisdom gained by generations of thought and experience.
Silvaerin'a - Wednesday, March 03, 2004, 17:49:16 PST
Though I consider myself dedicated to Tyr, I have strong ties to several others, among them, Fenrir, Loki (don't ask...), and Frey.

Thomas Altamont - Friday, January 09, 2004, 10:26:37 PST
I chose Heimdall years ago because his role is synonymous with my family's historical motto: In order that you may live with vigilance (Ut vivas vigilias). It also seems fitting these days with our institutions under assault from all around. "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance."

I am very close to Thor, but have not yet decided to dedicate myself to him. I get the feeling from many (not all) people that are dedicatedt to a specific God/Goddess that they have taken on a monothiestic view of our pantheon. Sort of, yea the other Gods and Goddesses exist, but Freya can do everything that any of the others can do, so I just blot to her.
Thorrfin Skullsplitter - Monday, December 22, 2003, 13:28:30 PST
I am dedicated to Thor. I have been so for quite some time. I have heard his call when I began my third year at High School and have followed him Ever since. May Mjollnir protect the followers of the Aesir and Vanir, Alfs and Wights. May it protect them and their families.
Susie - Sunday, December 14, 2003, 04:28:22 PST
I am "oathed" to Asaþórr, but He is certainly NOT the only god I worship. I was struck by lightning at the age of seven... my "oath" was not made until the age of 33; more as a "thank you" for His notice of me... and for being my friend for so long... I, personally, would not have made an oath to any of the gods had not the circumstances been so ... ummm, obvious(?)... :)

jeff king - Monday, December 01, 2003, 17:54:13 PST
i have dedicated my life to odin because it parallels his in so many ways. i too have physically died and come back to life, and gained much wisdom from the experience.i am also very similar to him in that i am a warrior and a great allie in battle, but just like odin i have my own treacherous side.if you cross me, you will make an enemy for life. i am a natural born leader as well.

I agree with Padraic in that Gothi and Gydia have patrons, noone else. I would further assert that to name Loki as patron is ludicrous.....but I digress. As a solitary, I take on the role of Gothi, only presiding over myself and immediate family, but I honor all the Aesir and Vanir equally. That said, I consider myself Veli UllrsGodi. Hail the Regin, hail our proud folk!

I was first drawn to Asatru because I wanted to learn more about Heimdall. Since then most of my spirituals practices have involved learning more about this enigmatic figure.
Mathew S. - Wednesday, October 29, 2003, 22:36:16 PST
After spending several years running around trying to avoid it (including running straight to atheism) I found myself being forced into facing the facts and starting back with the god who's been making himself present in my life for years (especially in the "You're mine, let's go" way). Given that this is Loki, my life is...interesting, to say the least. Wouldn't want it any other way.

It is historically and traditionally inaccurate for anyone but those of gothi or gythia profession to be dedicated specifically to the Regin as the lore has come to us.
Chad in NV - Sunday, October 19, 2003, 16:09:22 PDT
While I responded "yes" to the poll, my dedication isn't by oath. I am still free to blot or other wise call upon any others of the Regin as I wish, but Odin has made it clear that I am his in the end. I wear a Hammer somedays, a Valknut others, but I think there's a Valknut tattooed on my soul(-'

Loki appeared to me around thirteen or fourteen years ago. I was nine or ten years old. We had a conversation on a creek bank - but I can't remember what it was about other than it ran along the line (emotionally) of pondering on why I was picked on so much in grade school. He's been my patron since.

I dont have a religion but i find it funny how christianity annoys other relgions on how there is only ONE god and its theres.I dont know much about Asatru and im more then willing to learn,i already learn christianny in school but i think its kinda contradictory.And also, its sad that Nazi polluted this religion and culture,im very much interestded in norse mythology and such.Those bastards (nazi) stole symbols and gave them a very bad reputation!!! (Like Mjolnirr and the Suncross).Its sad.
"Kadli"n - Wednesday, September 24, 2003, 18:07:10 PDT
Its been roughly 2 years since My lord Odin contacted me,what followed was the hardest time I have ever experienced,the strength that I received got me through,I asked him for strength to come through and boy did he give it,something I never received in my christian beliefs.I have always found the bible to be very contradictory of itself,how come this christian god lays down laws to live by,telling the people that covertness,envy,jealousy etc. is a great sin,yet its okay for him to do it.Did not one of the commandments say Thou shalt not covert etc.then it says that any form of worshipping of false idols is the ultimate sin, putting other gods before him! Then it states that the lord thy god is a jealous god and will not stand for this,---- PLEASE!!! EITHER JEALOUSY IS A SIN OR IT IS NOT,OR IS IT A CASE OF DO WHAT I SAY NOT WHAT I DO, so in that case its okay for him to do it but not us, WELL THATS THE EXACT ROLE MODEL EVERYONE WANTS TO WORSHIP, NOT!!!!!!!! at least we can say our gods do not pretend to be something they are not, eg. perfect.only to be proven otherwise,in their own words no less.
Devon - Tuesday, September 23, 2003, 17:15:49 PDT
Definitely Odin, or Woden, for several reasons. 1) I was born on his day, Wednesday. 2) I was born with CP and a deaf hear, and Odin is patron to "damaged" people. 3) My name and occupation means Poet, who are also under Odin's patronage. 4) I'm an empath and clairaudient (which is the cost of my Fate) and Odin speaks into my deaf ear. I consider myself an Odinist.
Morbid - Friday, September 19, 2003, 05:22:15 PDT
I was, or still am, a Satanist, but I have found Asatru and am very interested in this religion as it from our ancestors, whom I am also interested in. I will eventually convert to Asatru when I learn more about it.

Odin, in case you couldn't tell... hehehe. I also am drawn to eir, skadi, and loki a lot. I agree that it feels more that they chose me than i them, especially in Odin's case. When I was a lot younger, I would have dreams of being a wolf, and odin was always in them, and i would have dreams of eir too but those were a lot less frequent.

Doug Freyburger - Thursday, August 07, 2003, 14:41:27 PDT
In about 1987 Odin appeared in a dream and instructed me to follow. No detailed instructions, not even who he meant for me to follow. So I read about the ancients. Few of them followed a particular diety. Most just followed the Aesir as a whole. So that's what I did. If I got it wrong the Wanderer is welcome to tell me so. So could any of the other Aesir. It's been 15 years and I've gotten a couple of other instructions from a couple of other Aesir, but none has told me to follow them in particular.
thors warrior - Saturday, July 26, 2003, 10:12:55 PDT
I have been an individual worshiper of the old gods ever since i was in the army during the first gulf war. I am a devotee of Thor and hehas seen me through some very hard situations. If anyone is interested in getting a kindred or even a small group together,e mail me ar thorswarrior89@aol.com I think that some spiritual comradship would do us all good. May the gods bless us all.

I don't feel dedicated to a particular god or goddess, but I do think Freyja kicks ass. And I have to give mad props (even though that phrase just makes me sound like some 13 year old, when I'll be 20 in August) to Yulfa on her response to the self-righteous Christian that feels it's their duty to impose their beliefs on other people. I hate people that think they can shove their religion down other people's throats and get away with it. That Christian messed with the wrong people by posting to this site! At least we have the ability to think for ourselves and not accept anything blindly, unlike those of monotheistic religions tend to be. Sorry to go off on a tangent, but it really angers me to see such closed-mindedness by someone who truly does need to get a life, as Yulfa also said.

I have commented on this pole before and it's been a while since I've visited here. I see that christians have invaded this site. Now my tounge is sharp. I don't speak about all christians, but only the ones who don't have a life. They fill the empty void of their exsistance with nothing better to do than harrass. To them I say," Bugger off. " I also ask them to ponder this question.....If your God is all knowing, then why did he have to send his only son here to understand the people whom he created? And I will be so bold as to congratulate you in worshiping a God and puting a people before you (Hebrews) who told you it was the right thing to do......To the rest of the polite Christians I say....," May you know much honor and peace in your life, and we will live in mutual respect. My own parents are Christians." I did not pose the previous question for a public debate upon this site. And I don't like to be disrespectful. However the battle is always brought to us. And we are threw giving quarter. Those of you who are the lifeless and disrespecting Christians who invade this site will never honor your God by angering those whom you pretend to try and save. Get a reall job. Conversion isn't suited to you, you don't have a clue. If you wish debate, then contact me at norse1@bellsouth.net, but stay out of this site. ;-) To my fellow followers of the old way........WE HAVE SUFFERED MUCH AT THE HANDS OF POLITICS AND MIDDLE EASTERN PHYLOSOPHY. THE OLD ONES ARE WITH US AS WE ARE WITH THEM. OUR ARMER HAS BEEN TEMPERED WITHIN THE FORGE OF CENTURIES OF OUR ANCESTERS PAIN. OUR LESSONS HAVE BEEN WELL LEARNED. AS WODEN HUNG FROM THE GREAT TREE IN SACRIFICE TO GAIN KNOWLEDGE, SO TOO HAS OUR JOURNEY IN TIME BROUGHT US GREAT KNOWLEDGE. WE HEAR THE LIES NO MORE!!!!!!!! HAIL WODEN! HAIL THE ANCIENTS! HAIL TO YOU ALL!!!! In Peace,or.....WAR... A Godia

Nooo. that cant be true. well it is. vikings never had a dark age, but the christians did.. and what the Niflheim! is DEWALD PRETORIUS talking about. can anyone tell me what odin and thor has to do with the devil, many asatru looks at satanic as something that originaded from jewish and mostly from chistian belifs, and has nothing to do with ours. the "Devil" is the chistians tool to succsess. it is a way to scare people to convert or to hold on to the christian belif, if there really were the one God than i guess he would be pritty pizt of at all of you christians.
Alvheim - Tuesday, April 29, 2003, 13:26:00 PDT
to Glen, Many X-istians has spitted and coursed the Asatru, among other things like technology and other religions. They tok the "Heathen" culture and belifes and burnt it, condemd it as satanic and evil way of living. Today we will not be layd under by you x-ians anymore. You have done to much destruction, and enough is enough. Today is an more civilized world were we can be accepted by other people, and we are not going to stand here and digg in to your bullshit. Before, we have been condemd to burn in hell. Well, today i curse all christians that are against asatru to burn i "Muspellheim", where they belong. Let me die like a true Einherjer, and let me come to Valhalla.....

Leinwej - Sunday, April 13, 2003, 15:04:56 PDT
Although I worship Athena (goddess of wisdom, the arts, and war, and the knowledge of when to use each one) at my altar, I also believe strongly in Pele, as I have been visited by Her in many dreams. I also revere Balder and Jesus, although Jesus was only transformed into a god by doing as Deity requested of him. His purpose was to get us to strive to be one with Deity, not to worship the messenger. The original teachings of Jesus are not that different from most pagan beliefs. It's the Church in its often infinite arrogance and stupidity that has soiled its own reputation, by changing and eliminating the teachings to suit the Roman Empire, which still exists in the form of the Church. I was raised Christian (Protestant, definitely not Catholic), but I consider myself Wiccan and universalist pagan first, Christian second. I don't feel those are inconsistent with each other. Just as Paul (but not Peter) and the early Christian movement felt that the message of Jesus was for everyone, but that everyone could keep their own customs (and their foreskins), so I also believe that I can be Christian and also be pagan. It's not inconsistent. It's all a message of oneness with the Universe and with Deity, whether it be the great and wise Odin or the fiery Pele, or the strong, gentle, yet vengeful Athena.

Lisa - Monday, February 17, 2003, 20:34:28 PST
I'm a strange case, since I've lived in and out of two very different cultures throughout my life. Having spent a decent portion of my life in Japan despite being a caucasoid American, I have a certain affinity for a handful of Japanese gods that I feel very close to. I hail and honor them in their turn because they have helped me before many times. It is a personal practice of mine to honor all gods. After all, who am I to pick which ones are deserving and which aren't? But as to the god of my heart, I was born on Woden's day, have always had a knack for poetry and the creative, but am drawn inextricably to the grim field of battle. To that end, I am contracted to join the Army. I may die in battle, but I am not afraid, for if I do, I hope to go bathed in the blood of my enemies and ride up to Valhalla on the wind. So if I dedicate to any god...it will likely be Odin.
Kelsey - Monday, February 17, 2003, 00:31:09 PST
I am dedicated to mother earth (Gaia, Anu, what ever you want to call her). I am studying wicca, the pagan ways, my scottish, celtic background. Many gods and goddesses are in my life, but the mother is the most important for us to survive.

paganbaby@dangerous-minds.com - Friday, February 14, 2003, 23:58:56 PST
I am pursuing Wicca but, being Germanic in origin, I feel a strong pull toward my ancestral beliefs as well. I wish to use runecasting in my divination; however, I believe that some Wicca use runes and runecasting without truly understanding their importance or history. I believe that the many Gods and Goddesses are all equally valid manifestations of the energy of the Universe, and as such have no problem following specifically Norse practices when using the runes. Thus I hope to continue on my Wiccan path while also honoring my ancestral heritage.
skallagrimwalker@yahoo.ca - Thursday, February 06, 2003, 16:30:28 PST
I get a kick out of watching the more Norse-oriented take umbrage when I tell them that their "Tyr" is a truncated version of the Anglo-Saxon Tiw (Justice and the Everlasting Sky)--to whom I am closest, and who was likely the original All-Father of our folk. One cried!

I feel our alfather should be looked upon with higher esteem, and that none of OUR Gods and Goddesses should be overlooked or forgotten as there is a very definite reason for there to be God"s" and Goddesse"s"!!! If they had no real purpose in our belief, they ALL would not be there in the first place!!! They all have purpose and meaning, just as our Alfathers' gift to us of the RUNES!!! The RUNES constitute a "Family", all connected to one another, and I too believe the very same holds true of OUR Gods and Goddesses - they ARE also a family, as WE Asatruar should be in this realm to each other, and should be honored/respected/ and held in other highest esteem as no less than that of OUR Divine Family!!!

I love and respect all of our Gods, however my closest affinity is with Odin. Even as a child, when I heard the name Odin, ( which wasn't often ) I felt something stirr within me. Now that I've gained some insite into each Gods experiences of life, I understand why Odin touchs me more than the others. Beginning from a small child, I have experienced enough pain and sacrifice in my life to literaly write a book. But don't fear, ( Tee-Hee ) not at this moment. Wisdom brings more pain than joy I think. And defenatly humility along with responsibility. Only the honorable will enter valhala. Slante!

Voluspa - Thursday, August 22, 2002, 16:59:59 PDT
Thor is the everyman's God, Odinn is historically for the noble classes. I like Thor, though he is often made fun of (e.g. Lokasenna) because he is loyal and brave. It IS pathetic that Christians think there's is the only way.
svartalfar - Monday, August 12, 2002, 00:20:07 PDT

Falcon - Sunday, August 11, 2002, 13:54:24 PDT
I am not sure if I should dedicate myself to a particular one. They all have their virtues to be called upon when a situation demands. On the flip side this seems a littly wishy-washy to me. By dedicating oneself to a paricular one seems like a more of concrete dedication to the faith.I asked Uller to show me a sign of weather Asatru is the right path for me. In my heart I knew but I wanted a concrete sign, and I believe I got it. I have affinity for Odhinn as a thirster for wisdom, yet Thor from the perspective that I am a gardener and do my work outdoors. I have only started to follow the way for a relatively short time. Only a few months now, but I am a devotee. I live in Germany now and through the language barrier I have little access to anyone of like mind and thought to give me advice or share opinions. I have only books and the internet to guide me. Can anyone give me advice? falcon@mediasurprise.com

Hail Odin the Allfather! I DO mind the presence of monotheists - particularly christians - and their foolish, hateful words. In general, I do not like the, nor do I trust them or any of their ilk. Let us face the facts: These followers of the dead god have ravaged our sacred Earth for more than two thousand years.During that time they have been responsible for destroying entire cultures and billions of lives. They 'tried' to wipe out pagan and heathen folk whenever possible and they 'tried' to destroy our sacred connection to the Aesir and the Vanir. Let us never again allow these...things to threaten our heathen ways and culture. Take heed of the words of the High One: Let a man never stir on his road a step without his weapons of war; For unsure is the knowing when the need shall arise of a spear on the way without. - Havamal 38 In this case let our 'weapons of war' also be sharp vigilance against those who would seek our demise once again. - Wulfgaar

I have been a good friend of Thor for some time. I find him the best of gods because he grants me good health, luck, and also humour without asking for much in return. Thor also protects me from wights; I recently had an experience of what I thought was an attack by a ghost, but upon cluching my hammer amulet and speaking Thor's name the wight retreated (I was half-asleep at the time, but still...). I also find Thor a good drinking buddy.

v carole - Wednesday, January 30, 2002, 04:08:02
wodan brought me in,i wasnt sure at first exactly how he did it,,then i realised,from a very early age i have been fascinated by the Valkyrja,i drew them,wrote poetry about them,always felt very close to these fascinating beings,as i grew older it seemed a strange subject to be interested in,but still it continued,even to this day,it finally got the better of me so i consulted the runes,i asked why this fascination that is with me constantly,i feel i cannot reveal the rune that answered,but i can honestly say that the answer it gave,made my heart feel like it was about to burst through my chest.Ifrantically drew another rune (just to be sure)so to speak,the message was to look no more for answers,my life was predestined,that which is to be cannot be changed.Now i find that Frigga is approaching me.Help i`m bursting,i need to talk to someone.

No, I am not attatchned to any specific god or goddess. There are some that I am partial to, but each one has different areas or specialty. None are better than the others, so why accidentally piss one off by playing favorites when they are all equaly important.
Alrik Guthfrithsson - Wednesday, January 16, 2002, 16:53:09
My feelings are that the stories told of the gods are intended to instill a sense of direction, in other words, they teach us how to live our lives with honor,integrity,and courage. Each of us will find that we relate more to one god or goddess. The choice as to which one we follow or if we choose to believe in the god as a 'higher power' or choose to believe in the stories as a guide to better ourselves and our families is a personal choice. fara Meth gothanum. meinehamarr@yahoo

I follow none, but walk with Wotan; the Allfather. In this, I respect the pantheon whole as one would respect an ancestor, or a grandparent.Wotan (Odin) a gem so valuable, and complex that none should ever see the same facet twice, unless a facet he/she remains focused.Hail the Allfather.

I have never been a Christian, so I have none of the Christian hangups about prayers, and gods and sin and Heaven and Hell. Partially because of that, and partially because of where I am in my life right now, I am dedicated, or primarily focused on Hel right now. Her dichotomy is boundless, as is my own. Whether you choce to primarily focus on one or many, be honored to walk the Heathen path. In Frith,

To Kara: You say that you do not believe in "god". It is not necessary to literally believe in a separately-existing divine being or beings - one way to look at our Gods and Goddesses is as qualities or powers contained within us, as part of our deepest subconscious layers. Thus, Oðinn, for example, would be that part of you that includes instinct as well as rational intelligence, poetic inspiration, etc.
Axel Willekens Von Valfrücht - Friday, October 12, 2001, 18:28:18
Odin is my God. I am also dedicated to all other Godesses, Gods and all other well-meaning Wights of the Germanic Tradition (Freyja in particular at this moment)- but since Odin is the God of poetry, magic, wisdom and war (things I'm involved in, being member of an anti-army), and since I gave my blood to him just before a life-threatening medical operation which then went wonderfully well...yes, I'm dedicated to Odin. I wouldn't mind being invited to Freyja's Folkvang after death though.
Mindy Wolf - Friday, October 12, 2001, 03:45:59
I am mostly affiliated with the two great gods that sprung from the All, Shanti and Shiva. I speak mostly to the moon whom holds the face of the goddess and to my sister Artimis whom I love dearly. I am mostly interested in the orginal gods and some times refer to them in the new age names. Its very interesting to me how they can for the most part be traced down through the ages back into a hand full of names that are now refered to as MANY different gods/goddesses. But I work with them, not for them. I do do them favors at times in exchange for my bidding.
Antha Angelique - Saturday, October 06, 2001, 18:19:14
I'd have to say that i was choosen by Freya some years back, she holds a special place among the other gods. Yet they have all come to me in my times of need. I have to say that the Fenriz Wolf holds a facination with me, as well as i do with him. (The hunter and the hunted - Fenriz and Odin-) Odin and Thy are also extreamly dear, as is Skadi... and many more.
Bob Trapp - Thursday, September 27, 2001, 03:20:55
It is more correct to say that I associate with one more than the others. Vidar Leathershod and I have always been associated. I still deal with the others as the situation warrants. I try not to ask them for more than guidance so that I can better look after my homeland.
KatRose - Monday, September 24, 2001, 00:46:56
I decided long ago that I couldn't dedicate myself to a certain god. What if that god and I didn't get along nor work well. Thus, as of now, I have been just asking in general for help and whomever decides to join me is welcome. Strangely enough a very playfull presence has become an expected occurance. I have tricks played about the house every now and then and any flame within my circle burns brighter and higher then normal. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this.

I'm dedicated primarily to Tyr. He was the one who lead me to Asatru. I also have particular affinities for Skaldi and Hel. I believe that at different times in one's life, different Gods may come to the forefront in influence. For a period of several years (about ten years ago), Odin moved to the forefront, becoming a very strong influence in my life.
Wodalf - Sunday, June 24, 2001, 19:16:38
Heimdall is my personal friend as are Thor and Freyr. To pledge myself to the exclusion of others seems silly in the light of my dedication to Asatru as a polytheistic relegion.
Victor Ross - Thursday, June 14, 2001, 17:01:19

John Mahler - Tuesday, March 27, 2001, 08:49:43
I am dedicated to Odin because after reading some literature about Asatru and studying "Leaves of Yggsdrasil", I had a lucid dream in which Odin called me. This dream was very real and powerful. I have not been the same since. No one should doubt either survival of human personality or the existence of the Gods.
Hélio - Friday, March 23, 2001, 17:47:57
When I say I have a patron deity that doesn't mean I neglect the others: I have Freyr as my closest friend among the Gods because he was the first one who came to me, he who called me, my guide, the one who, in the worst times of my first steps in to heathenry kept me in touch with the Germanic Old Ways never letting me go, my dearest and always present friend. But still I blót the other gods and goddesses as well, keep in touch with them, even if there are some whom I tend to call on more often: like with your friends in Midgard, to all you give attention, but spend more time with those closest to you. As for Jess, has it ever occurred to you that the justification of what you said is based on the Bible, and that that book is to us germanic pagans no source of authority, removing as such from your words any sense of absolute truth? Leave us with our gods as we leave you alone with your's!
sigfred - Wednesday, March 07, 2001, 06:38:44
to jess: who said we should worship the god who listens to prayers. what prayers? we have all been raised in that reliogion. well allmost all of us. and found it lacking. everyone on aplane that is crashing is praying not to die but people die in plane crashes all the time, the difference? our gods never claimed to answer all prayers and be all knowing and all powerful(presumbably choosing to cause that plane to crash).
Ryan Fairhair - Tuesday, March 06, 2001, 06:43:53
I'm dedicated to Odin, but I do feel drawn to Thor and Freya sometimes. I try to give the gods equal respect, but the gods don't expect me to serve them, they are glad I with my reverence for them, but the expect that I be independant minded and civil too. It's hard sometimes to say that i respect all the gods equally because I admire Odin the most.
ThorinSkald - Thursday, February 22, 2001, 06:10:41
Hail to all! My primary god is Thor. I do say a daily prayer to Odin, Frey and all the other gods and goddess as well, but it was the god of the storm that helped me to find my heritage. First as a storyteller, then as a believer and converter from Christanity. It was har to convert, but it can be done--I am living proof! To all of you that are on the brink of converting, I give you this advise--What do you FEEL is right. Don't do it for anyone else, and don't be afraid to convert because you think you may loose a friend. If they cannot still be a friend to one of the Norse Tradition, then they are not a true friend.

Phew!! That's the feeling I get, when I read the various comments placed here, even from the 'Christian' controller-types.(Pardon my spelling!); Anyway, That's a positive, relief-expressing "Phew" I referred to, which was most echoed by the comment, (P. Wilson), about not being on "One's Knees"; ...Of course, I always wondered about that whole "Jealous God" thing, because it would seem to me that "God(s)/(-dess(es)) would have to be pretty 'insecure' to suffer from 'Jealousy'. Even the 13th century Christian mystic & Poet, Dante conceieved of God as "unchanging"; (one would think of jealousy as a 'quailty' to be changed to something more appropriate in a human, much less Deity(ies)!). Presumably, from a (mere) grammatical standpoint, it would be incorrect to refer to a Deity as 'jealous', since that suggests something/some being 'higher'/'better equipped'/somehow more advanced/with a better caddilac/girlfriend/boyfriend... ...One can see where I am heading here...I use the materielistic 'caddilac' metaphore because this whole jealousy thing is so anthropamorphic, (putting human values/idiosyncracies/etc. on a non human situation/animal/other being, for the 'controllers' amongst us...). Additionally, I like the idea of a/the Deity(ies) who 'keep up with'/stay ahead of the situations/histories we humans make for ourselves/find ourselves in; How exactly would an 'old testament' Deity deal with Nuke-weapons/power, pollution, and of course, the population explosion/world-wide starvation issue(s), so (apparently) important-to-ignore-on-the-Vatican's Part. (That's just one example; I suppose I could also cite the situation in India this Valentines day, where 'conservative religionsts' are threatening to burn down businesses that engage in 'decadent western Valentines day card giving' situations, even as these same religionsts are SILENT about 'Bride-Burnings' and such...). Anyway, my 'Slave Masters are once again giving me the old "Ben-Hur" quote; ("You live to serve this ship; row well & live"); So, blessed be & may we all cross the Holy Bridge Bifrost, to Asgard via the Valkyries, to drink mead with the warriors, etc. RGF

I am another 'refugee' from an increasingly sociopathic former religion, (R.

Odin, as chief deity, and 'Ursus Maritimus', ('Polar Bear'), as totemic-spiritual guide - animal, (including tattoos), are my current 'aqusition-endeavores', so to speak...

Damn! read something else than about your cult, try compare your cult with other cults and see why all those cults are there. May be there are some simpler reasons else behind that a God.
Manihrafn - Sunday, November 19, 2000, 18:21:45
I cannot personally belong to just one God's or Goddess's Hall or Hearth, for I am not like just one. Polytheisim is about having many Gods/Goddess to find and offer directions to our lives. It promotes indiviualism in our selves as it is with the Gods/Goddess, the Aesir and Vanir, the Giants, the Dwarfs and Elfs. Without considering them all as potential allies in our lives one will limit their prospective paths and possible potential. Of course there is something to be said for choosing one God/Goddess in their life. It definately gives one a decidedly straight life path toward their goals, and makes it easy to understand such persons. So be well and live your life as well as you can.
Warren - Tuesday, September 05, 2000, 04:43:39
I can't see one god that has blessed me exclusively. Odin granted me wisdom and that need to wander, Heimdall or tyr seemed to create my personality (guardian\defender), thor granted me some brute strengt... to me, I can't dedicate myself to one god because they have all done so much for me. Well, 'cept freya... :)

For some years now that Freyr as made his presence felt and I´m begining to see that he might been present for much more. I'm not yet devoted to him, altough I'm considering to, but I also feel a strong call from Druidry. It´s not dificult to keep in both at the same time: first their both Nature religions and second Heanthenry does not have a fixed festival calendar, giving me the freedom to blot Freyr whenever I or He wants. I also like the rest of his family, Tyr, and also Thor. For contact: may_boar@hotmail.com

The Gods of my ancestors called to me several years ago, since then I have tried my best to live up to their expectations. To be honest with you as well as myself, I have to admit that it's much nicer to be prefered on my feet at their side as opposed to on my knees at their feet. (no deliberate slam there...Is there?)
Jess - Saturday, May 27, 2000, 05:47:12
Your all confused, there is only one God. That is the living God who listens and answers your prayers. The God who came down to earth and died for YOU! If you give him a chance he will reveal himself to you like he did for me!

Though I'd call it more of a mentoring process.... and it's not just one , but more like three. Thor, Loki and Frigga (yes, odd, but that what I got)
Odhinn, Hela and Frigga - Thursday, March 16, 2000, 07:14:28
I am primarily dedicated to Odinn in the sense that I had a valknut tatooed on my arm...I chose to give myself to the One-Eyed God because I wish to help him fight the Fenris Wolf one day. Whether that means for a certainty as to whether I die in battle in this lifetime, I have no idea...but there it is. Yet, I also find myself heavily working with Hela and Frigga. In some myths, Hela is represented as his wife in her Holda aspect. Also, Frigga must absolutely be more understood as one of the great and terribly underestimated military deities there is...as far as I can tell, she is the only deity known who has defeated the One-Eyed God--- not once, but twice! She foiled him by making sure the Lombards got victory, and she foiled him again in the story of the Grimnismal. Truly, Frigga is terribly underestimated. She's not just domestic housekeeping, people... far from it... Jorunn Niflungr.
