Are we all supposed to be doing this? Did I miss a memo?
Real/Given Name: Alaric
Heathen Name: Don't have one. I just use my real name wherever I go. I know, very boring.
Current residence in Miðgarð: Currently I'm still stuck in Pennsylvania.
Patron Deity (if any): I don't believe in "patrons" as such. I have a closer relationship with Ing Fréa than with other deities, but to call him a patron deity would be sort of like calling one of my friends a "patron human".
Religious/Spiritual Background: Presbyterian until around 1969. Began honoring Anglo-Saxon deities in 1971. Sort of became Wiccan somewhere along the way. Returned to hard polytheism in 2002.
Position on Asatru Fault Lines: I'm not sure what this means, but since I don't consider myself Ásatrú it probably doesn't matter.
Type of Religious Practice: I'm not entirely sure what this means either. What "types" do I get to choose from? I'm an Anglo-Saxon Heathen/Pagan. I belong to Earendel Híred, but obviously I also connect with the gods and my ancestors on my own time also.
Religious Community: As mentioned above, I belong to Earendel (so I guess that isn't a "type"), and am a gesið of Geferræden Fyrnsidu. I'm also a member of Ár nDraíocht Féin, both nationally and locally.
Education: Some college.
