We do not have a lot that has not been uncorrupted by English & Christian hand, But we can learn with the purity of heart and soul through our faith and energy the things we can do and see will show us our ancestry. We will read every book we can and do the magick we were supposed to do. pure blood, half breed, shoot today they have even excepted people who just want to believe, that have no blood link at all to our people. In todays thought we are called neo-pagan, (neo-Norseman)
To me being a Norseman is not just a religious experience, It should be in the blood line some where. I will say if you are not of our blood than I commend you for trying to be a noble as English peasant did with knights of the round table. Each culture has their own magic if you think about it the Norse has the Gothi, American Indian has their medicine man, Celtic people have druids, you also have Africans that have witch doctors... shall I go on... Where are you from? If you are a half breed of any sort we honor your blood line here and we we will help you with all you magick Norse, & Celtic, or what ever else is in you. The magick you have belongs to you, like a fingerprint now when you learn you will grow. I have people who are of Norse blood who follows the Hindu faith as well because they believe that their Gods are of equal quality to the Norse Gods. They actually feel it is as close to the truth of our Norse gods as we can get. That is in their personal faith.
A lot of followers of the Norse people in America read the Prose Edda, Poetic Edda, & the Havamal. We will keep the studies going to keep you enlightened as we learn you can learn what we know. We do not want to be lead around by other cultures for we are an honorable people, and do not need guidance from outsiders. Until we find other writing from our people that can be translated this is what we have. We will only tell you the truth as we know it. If we find it to be anything else than we shall fix it. I do not want to mess up my grandchildren for a false belief system.
Like all great spiritual leaders we wish could go back in time or into the future to guide you and protect you. Your Norse ways can be nurtured the way they ere meant to be.
just repeat after me three fold then let what you read take it in and behold
Through the vails of death and life
we need to trust the family roots that you have husband and wife.
Enchanted day and blessed nights
all the Norse wisdoms shall come to us and and be all right.
so mote it be. so mote it be. so mote it be.
I have been told that a lot of the American Norsemen follow the wiccan way. This is a good thing because I married an American Wiccan so that I may remember what the pagan path is about as I look up my roots and enjoy my ancestors paths in life before the Christian came to our shores.
The one thing I will always tell you is that the one thing you need to do is confirm everything (confirmation is key to EVERYTHING!). This is how we see the truth through the words that put a tint upon our belief systems.
My current family follows this code until we can find one to be true. Family first, loyalty with love, Death with honor. We in our family knows this covers all of the nine nobles and then some. We as American Norsemen will try to find all of the truth of our ancestors and then tell the world what we learned.
There are a couple of things we know for sure and I can tell you that we are known for being fisherman and farmers are noted for tails of the seas and the superstition of the mountains as they spend little time around a lot of people and stories are spread far and wide their for belief has begun. I hope to be proven wrong over periods of time. I enjoy the fanciful looming tails of the bards about the gods, gnomes and giants. To think it to be real in any form will be great for us. Please help us learn and believe.
