Beginner´s guide

HOME!

Welcome, my friend! I sincerely hope that your intentions as you access this page are serious and honorable. Giving another person a first start into the world of mutual God-relations is a responsibility that I will not take lightly on. You must be prepared for some discipline and temperance. Spirituality is about development - you must start on square one.

After one´s interest has been awakened, then comes the need to socialize with other like-minded people. There are many groups and associations around the world that work with these things. However, becoming a member of any organization or group is not the highest priority. You must first find out what you want. The author of these pages is not a member of any such organization! The Internet is an excellent tool to contact people who share your interest and devotion.

Be a seeker. Read, think, discuss, feel. Proceed by trial and error; yes, liked this - no, didn´t like that. Little by little, your version of the Forn Síðr will take form. You may want to arrange a place of worship in your home or somewhere outside. When you feel ready, you may engage in a regular worshipping of the Gods.

Many people combine their new found faith with a certain way of life. Avoiding artificial living or unnatural food, caring for the environment etc. Some are strict vegetarians. Pure living to some degree is often felt necessary in order to create a true feeling for the Gods. Or for the special Deity that one may have chosen as one´s closest friend in the Congregation of the Life-giving Gods.
