I keep being drawn to paths that have right-wing followers who seem to be the most vocal of the followers. What I see in the gods apparently isn't what they see at all. The paths that seem to attract the more liberal elements don't appeal to me at all, though. So I have decided to trust the gods and ignore those adherents who are determined to turn it into a patriarchal religion. Fortunately I've found a lot of liberal Asatru out there, and I do believe they are the majority, however silent they may be, so it's not like the right wing "owns" the religion. I have to trust the gods know what they're doing when they call me so I will do my utmost to represent that liberal aspect of heathenry.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01277981757643955577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8008578250555065496.post-56109815039483130462012-07-19T22:13:33.902-05:002012-07-19T22:13:33.902-05:00As an avowed syncretist I don't pay much atten...As an avowed syncretist I don't pay much attention to it anymore. I know that the Queen of Passion will reveal Herself to me by the face I need to see at the time. Just as the Warrior will. Granted, there is some serious gender-bending involved in my worldview. Namely that it matters less than we think. I like and respect the stated values of most of the Heathen and Asatru folks I've come in contact with. I don't care much for the misogyny I keep encountering. I am sure that the majority don't feel that way but I haven't gotten very good impressions from the few I have met. This is of course entirely my own 2 cents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
