I feel that

Yup

I'm just about that goon life lol

I'm gonna take a wild guess since your handle is Patriot Squid that you're Navy?

Just want to preserve nature

Yeet

Navy reserve and PMC for the air Force

Nice

Yee

Speaking of which I need to head back in smkoe breaks over, I'll talk to you gents later.

Y'all said you do meetings in VA. Are y'all like part of the tribalist asatru interpretation?

Yee

We have a closed group as well if you want to join it has chats and such

Alright, I can get down with that. I'm more universalist in my approach, and I have some differing views on some things, but nothing bad

The faith is very personal to me

And there is an element of magick to it for me

Same here

I go hard on the magick and runic magick

And meditation

I have found my people lmao

Our gothe is pretty awesome she is deducted to freyja and knows a good amount of sèider magic

Freyja and I have an interesting relationship these days... Odin is who I work with closely

Same here my wife is close to her and frigg and I'm close to Odin, Tyr and Thor

It's a helluva thing feeling close to Gods isn't it

It's wild I converted from being Christian and it's a while different feeling

Been pagan for about 5 years

Is it?

Same! What brought you to it?

Indeed you feel a connection to the earth like an entire world view shift

My biggest gripe with religion is dogma

I kinda just stop being religious for a while then one night had some wild dreams and they kept happening

Dogma is a spiritual boner killer lol

Then went to the place the dreams jept happening which was a place in the mountains had just sat their and it felt like the earth it's self wanted me their

And it felt right

So I started studying it and meditating on it

On here I am lol

And as far as the tribalism, we arn't to into it like we arn't gonna ask people to get DNA tests it's more of just keeping a tight fit community, and knowing who's in the tribe, Because when you do group blót it mixes all of your in to a collective and we only want people we trust their for it

Basically just wanna keep out negative energy and drama

I'mma head back into work I'll ttyl gents

alrighty i'm off work
