Tina Turner: Rock’n’roll legend and great spiritual teacher

As you may have heard, Tina Turner passed away two days ago at the age of 83. She is remembered as a woman of incredible talent and a legend in music history. So much so that she has been dubbed ”the Queen of Rock’n’roll”. With massive hits such as ‘The Best’, ‘Proud Mary’ and ‘What’s

In praise of minimalist altars

I often find myself impressed by the images of altars fellow Pagans and Polytheists share on social media. The setups are beautiful and with many objects like crystals, bowls, incense holders, wands, rocks, candles, flowers, etc. While I admire complex altars, I couldn’t have them in my practice. The first reason is that I’m too

Some recent and fascinating Norse archaeological finds

There have been some very interesting archaeological finds related to the Norse faith recently. One of them is this golden disc found during an excavation in Denmark: This one is particularly important as it has the oldest known runic inscription mentioning Odin. The runes state: ”He is Odin’s man”, likely referencing a ruler of some
