Information in Heathenry

When I first started exploring the online world of Heathenry, I noticed a couple of things. Firstly, there seemed to be a massive informational barrier to entry, with few people willing to help point to sources other than to tell you to 'read more' and that this is a 'religion of homework'.

This came with the realization that the barrier to entry was coupled with the fact that legitimate information is not really all that readily available. I saw the dynamic show up in multiple communities were people would utilize the information they had as a way to secure their place in a hierarchy within a group. Simple stuff ranging from archeological / historical information, or records describing temple practices and such. Even stories of the Gods outside of the Eddas would have this frustrating game around it.

Most of what I've tried to do in my content and community has been to fix that problem. Simply knowing information does not mean that you should be in a place of leadership. This is not a tradition of secret knowledge. Each of my vids just gives out the information that I experienced as being so closely guarded, and also gives reading lists where you can follow up on that information yourself if you want.

The 'informational' model of hierarchy in Heathenry is ridiculous. My goal has been to upend it entirely. And I've heard down the line that some are mad at me for making sometimes obscure information readily accessible. And you know what? Good. If you've used the difficulty to find information within this religion as a method of lording authority over others, you're a bad leader.

I'm glad you're mad <3
