Ravens keeping people up all night in East Iceland

People in the town of Egilsstaðir in East Iceland have been asked by city authorities to stop feeding the ravens. Ravens have become somewhat of a plague in the northern part of the town, keeping to the trees and lampposts and screeching all night long.

This is my main blog but I've got a couple pagan side blogs, mostly @tuiliel, which is where I was following the thread, but you said:

"Asked Freyja on me at a ritual at PantheaCon" or similar on skald's post any how everyone should contribute more, and that caught my attention, and combined with your ask button text - are you trained in Hrafnar-style Oracular Seidr??? If so, me too - and hello, new friend!

Yes! Not only was I trained in Hrafnar-style Oracular Seidh, I was a member of Seidhjallr and Hrafnar for many years. Diana Paxson was my clergy training mentor as well!

That said, the ritual at PantheaCon I'm referring to in that particular post was actually a Facets of Freyja ritual, conducted by a handful of us from Hrafnar, the Vanic Conspiracy, and Hrafn Skjoldr Kindred combined into "Freyja's Aett".

I was first introduced to Hrafnar when a dear friend invited me to his handfasting at a Heathen campout. I discovered that many people I already knew and liked were regular attendees. So when I found myself…

Nice to see a heathen & pagan group based in Northern traditions explicitly supporting and welcoming fellows of all races and backgrounds. The exclusionary attitude of some groups tends to be rather off-putting, but this inspires more optimism.
