Religious studies was one of my minors and I am Catholic by birth. I however have always been interested both in the Vikings and the natural environment. I just think that there is more to learn out in the woods than there is in a building.
I have a Thors hammer pendant on leather that I bought from Museum Replicas years ago. I also have Thor's symbol carved on a small bone pendant that I wear. Viking swords hold a place in my heart and as soon as I can I want to get one from Albion Swords. I event taought myself to read runes years ago, but now I stumble with 'em.
That said I follow more of a Native American Indian way and have a strong belief in the totem. I have a medicine bag with my totem in it as well as some of the stuff to help empower it. I love the simplicity of it all and when my custom forged knife comes in I will photograph my "primitive" kit. I use it when I want a hike in the woods to be very simple and back to nature.
Just this morning waitin on my wife I was outside just feeling the breeze on my face and the slight sprinkle of the occasional rain drop. The clouds were rolling and looked dark. It felt good before I had to come to my confining office.
I will tell you about some of the neat experiances I had with magic in Kenya back in '04 another time. In short my bosse's house had some bad witchcraft placed on it.
Thanks,
