I'm a pagan father of three who is just trying to learn as much as I can. Come learn with me.

Havamal 28. The wise one seems wise, if they can ask
and answer well;
sons of mankind can conceal nothing,
when they move among people

I could live 10,000 lifetimes and never find someone as amazing as my beautiful fiancee. Life really is wonderful when you find the missing piece of your heart.

I left Texas on Saturday to spend Christmas in New Mexico and immediately got sick. I got to spend the last few days in bed... 10/10 would get sick again I guess. It's been an interesting Christmas this year.

One of my favorite parts of Ministry for the Future was the abolition of the billionaires. Just to be that rich makes you an enemy of democracy. Wrote early this year:
Let me put it this way: if you made $10,000 a week – a princely sum by the standards of most people – you would have to work every week from the year of Jesus’s birth until this week to earn over a billion dollars. To earn as much as Elon Musk’s net worth at that rate – currently $180bn, according to Forbes – you’d have to work every week for more than a third of a million years – that is, since before Homo sapiens first emerged in Africa. Being a billionaire is arguably a disqualification for participating in the affairs of ordinary people Another way to put it is: one day last year, walking on San Francisco’s western edge, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, I saw whales spouting, and then I came home and rescued a bee buzzing at my window. The extremely disparate scale of these two wild creatures impressed me, and so I did the sums: a honeybee weighs about 0.11 grams and 4,000 bees weigh a pound; a grey whale weighs between 60,000 and 90,000 pounds, meaning that, even at the lower weight, it weighs about as much as a quarter of a billion bees. According to Oxfam, 81 billionaires hold more wealth than the poorest half of all humanity, meaning that in monetary terms 81 people are bigger than 4 billion people. So when it comes to wealth and impact, billionaires are whales and poor people are bees. Except that whales aren’t a menace to bees.

Havamal poem of the day

19. One should hold onto their cup,
though drink good ale in moderation,
speak or be silent;
it is the concern of none
that you go early to rest.

Havamal poem of the day

58. The harvest should rise for one who wishes
to have food or wealth;
seldom does a lying wolf
get a lamb or a slumberers victory.

Havamal poem of the day

35. One should walk, a guest should not remain
always in one place;
the welcome becomes tedious if they sit too long
in another's seat

I don't think that the existence of any afterlife really matters. What really matters is how we live the life we have, and taking care of people and the world around us.

So here's a little about me,

1: I'm eclectic Norse pagan
2: I love learning new things about all religions/ beliefs
3: I am very much open to discussing all things religion in the hopes that I learn something new about people.

Feel free to ask any questions or share what you believe.
