Do you always come in pairs?
This is my church, it stands so tall and proud, it has done for all time
It has no walls, yet its vast halls, reach from shore to shore
To whatever shore you know as your own, we stand as one, we stand alone
We are born from the same womb, hewn from the same stone
From the frozen Baltic; I watched sunrise over Athena
Walked the battlefields of Flanders and saw duskfall at Cintra
Beneath the spires of Sofia; fields of crosses at Arnhem
Armenius stood tall in Teuteborg; Senatus Populusque Romanus
To the fjords of Hordaland; shadows of ancient Albion,
At the shore of a 1000th lake; Saint Vitus dance in Praha
Yet when to Ireland we return, I know that I am home at last
And every sun that sets takes me closer to her Earth.
“The West is ripe for the picking, ready for the fall.
We are being sold for the endless corporate multinational pursuit of creating one faceless mono-culture”

I see the Stirpes metastasis continues to spread.
Can't you guys at least confine it to one thread?

Norse Paganism. I'm dedicated and especially so to the folks responsible for winter: Thorri, Skadi and Ullr. To quote a friend of mine, "I would live with eleven months of winter as long as I could take a vacation to someplace cold for a month." My connection to Ullr is particularly strong because I spend a good deal of time adventuring in the snow laden wilderness, and he has, as is my belief and experience, helped me along so I don't brain myself on some unassuming bit of rock or foliage. I could tell you stories, about some of the other Gods too, but this thread isn't the place for it. Suffice to say I am invested.

Heya Hrimskegg;
Uller welcomed me in July, 1989; the book I am writing about him looks like it will end up in the 175 - 250 page range; not scholarly, but containing everything I can find where I mention him from the past 20 years.

I'm Catholic, to have my marriage convalidated in one week after this coming Saturday. My wife's chilled out on her hatred of Christianity.No, I could never really say "good bye" to the Catholic Church although I've tried on several occasions. Now all I can say to the C.C. is "hello again, old friend".

I can't say Goodbye to my Catholic faith either even if I have tried too, and many situations have made me wonder of it. Appart from reinsuring me in my Spanish identity, my faith has helped me feel better and view things in a more positive way. How could I leave something that's helped me be and feel better in the past years? I am hardly a practicing Catholic though: but I keep my faith.
