When a child is born they were given a last name meaning daughter/son of (parent). For example, Ragnarr Loðbrók's son wouldn't have been called Bjǫrn Loðbrók. He would have been Bjǫrn Ragnarson. Bjǫrn's child, Erikr, would have called 'Björnsson'. To learn more, click here: [http://bit.ly/2sZPxuW]

By Old Norse reckoning, a year was Three Hundred days (360)! 'Tvau hundrað' (two hundreds) actually meant 240, while 'hundrað ok átta tigir' (one hundred and eighty) meant 200!

Inspired by the fylgjur of Óðinn, this Mjölnir is made up of two ravens and two wolves. Geri and Freki make up the handle because our inner beasts need not be denied, only kept in line by a firm hand. Muninn makes up the pommel because it is our Munr, our inner fire, our passion, which holds us fast and prevents our hand from slipping. Huginn makes up the head of the hammer because knowledge and comprehension are our greatest gods given tools. --- Like the look of this piece? HHH does graphic design work on commission!

Starting off your Sunday with a laugh! --- For the curious: [Víkingr- Vík “fjord/inlet” + ing (“one who lives/frequents/belongs too”) Víkingr "One who frequents the sea/fjords" To go 'Viking' was to go commit piracy. 'Vikingr' is essentially the Old Norse word for "Pirate". So yes, a ship was kind of required. LoL]
(http://bit.ly/2941QK2) #DailyHeathenFacts The version with Óðinn Vili, & Vé can be found in Snorri's "Gylfaginning". The older version with Óðinn, Hœnir, & Lóðurr is from "Völuspá". [There is some debate around the identity of Lóðurr, though it's commonly thought that this is a heiti (alternate name) for Loptr/Loki, as there are a number of other tales featuring Óðinn, Hœnir, & Loki as a traveling trio.]
(http://bit.ly/2rys6b1) #DailyHeathenFacts In Lokasenna, Loki admits to the death of Baldr about a third of the way through the poem. The gods don't really react or punish him. They even go so far as to offer him food and drink, attempting to make peace, until much later when the continued insults finally tip the scales.
The Many Deaths of Baldr If you ask most Heathens about Baldr, they can usually tell you about "Gylfaginning", the first part of Snorri's 'Prose Edda' which contains the story of Baldr's death. In this story, Baldr is killed when Loki tricks the blind god, Höðr, into killing him with a shaft of one of the few creatures in all the worlds which can harm Baldr. Mistletoe. What many DON'T know is that this is only one of several stories describing the death of Baldr, and it's actually the only one that even mentions Loki at all! In the Latin 'Chronicon Lethrense', Höðr was a Saxon king. He killed Baldr in a battle and then went after Óðinn and Þórr. Höðr was eventually killed by another son of Óðinn, named 'Both'. In the Danish text 'Gesta Danorum', Baldr and Höðr were rival suitors for the princess of Norway, Nanna. In this story, Baldr was a nearly invulnerable god, while Höðr was a mortal man. The mighty Baldr fought with all the gods at his side against Höðr, AND LOST, so he ran away. He came back later to take revenge and kill Höðr, but managed to do even worse than before and was killed by Höðr's magical sword named 'mistletoe'. (Art by Sceith-A: http://bit.ly/2rys6b1)
"It’s no secret that the subjects of magic and mysticism are a bit of a hot-button topic among Heathens. Arguments for or against aside, one thing I think most Heathens of any persuasion can agree upon is that there is a LOT of poorly researched, misunderstood, or outright BS sources out there on the subject of 'Rune Magic'." -Xander
"While many Heathens denied early assertions in the media that Christian was a member of our general religious community, in the week that followed it became clear that these early assertions had been, unfortunately, correct."
An important note for all you Heathen authors! Huginn's Heathen Hof is participating in the new 'Community Press' program, in order to help promote Heathen authorship within our community. This free volunteer program is run by Saga Press and aims to help first-time & self-published authors to break into the business with professional editing, design, and printing services. So if you've got a book in need of a publishing house, now could be your chance to get in on this fantastic program!
This one took an extra bit of explanation. Every language has these little idioms that rely on a shared cultural background. It's not impossible to figure them out, but it takes a lot more effort if you lack that shared context. Imagine someone a thousand years from now trying to figure out a modern phrase like: "I feel like a million bucks!" They could put it together from the context of the text, but they're going to think us rather strange for referencing a massive herd of deer. ;) Learn more @ patreon.com/heathenhof

This particular article is aimed at newer Heathens who aren’t as comfortable in their religious practices and are perhaps not yet settled into the how’s and why’s of performing rituals, with some tips for those who may be coming to Heathenry from a different kind of path, like Wicca.

Njörðr (NYOR-THER) Master of the seas, and father of Freyr and Freyja, Njörðr is fated to be one of the few older gods to survive Ragnarök, at which time he will return to his home among the Vanir. Njörðr is often characterized in the Lore as being one of the more gentle-hearted gods. Known for his wisdom and generosity, Njörðr is often given titles like "Fisherman's friend", "God of chariots", "Prince of men", "The giving god", and "One Without Malice".
Deity images: Freyr, by Kat Lunoe. Freyr gives away his sword to Skirnir to win his jotun wife, Gerd. Thus, he will fight with an antler, not a sword, come Ragnarok.
