For Yule my bestie supportively gifted me the new publication from The Fellowship Of Northern Traditions, Bifrost: Glimpses at the Gods , and I have to say it definitely surpassed my expectations of what I thought it would be. [yes, this is exactly the same great library photo from our earlier post, not sorry.] For some context of where this 76-page magazine's from, tFoNT started as a one-man YouTube channel in 2020 CE (then The Wisdom of Odin before changing to tFoNt ), and surprisingly gained excessive traction from new practitioners to quickly become an online organization that began to host ritual meetups at campgrounds, to then acquire non-profit status with intentions to build a temple hall.    While I think nearly any in-road for people who want to discover the Norse Gods is positive, I'd always felt tFoNT, with its heavily theatrical ritual-centric approach, fostered its own culture of god-bothering gnosis chasers that have post-conversion/modern holdover ideals of pe...

This arrived in my mailbox! I'd only recently added it to my Amazon Wishlist as something I'd felt worth exploring. While NorsePlay has mentioned Unverified Personal Gnosis and its potential significance before , I keep thinking if there were a way to compare, accrue, and judiciously vet UPGs then a body of contemporary Verified Personal Gnosis could be accrued, and perhaps a larger picture of divine manifestations could be revealed, or at least maybe some distinct patterns of what sorts of people are tapped by the Gods. While I'm not confident The Fellowship of Northern Traditions who put this publication out is that body, I'm excited someone's at least aggregating that data in any fashion, and curious to see what stories are in this 76-page magazine. So back to my original question: Which of you readers was nice enough to send me this? Let me know in the comments, and NorsePlay thanks you! #     #    # Guillermo Maytorena IV knew there was something special i...

You saw something. Maybe Sunna passed by on her way overhead and snuck a flapjack off your morning breakfast plate for needed calories to burn & shine with. Perhaps Freyr helpfully left you a package of condoms to find when you needed them most. Eir got you that appointment with an impossible-to-book medical specialist. Your cat meowed & stared at a not-so-empty room's corner for two hours only to reveal your crouching  húsálfar drinking your feline's milk . You refused some change to a monocular vagrant dressed in blue before the on-ramp and then you immediately  got into a horrible car accident. You asked the sky a question and literally heard an answer within the deep growl of thunder on a rainless day. For whatever reason, totally unprovoked, accidentally seen, ritually summoned, or externally selected, you had an Unverified Personal Gnosis. No, don't straight out tell me about your UPG, because if you just start off with that to anyone, odds are its only going ...
