The Asatru Code was developed as a way for Heathens to encode relevent information about themselves.  I first became aware of this code a few years back but never took the time to write out the code as it could be applied to describe myself and my practice of Heathenry.  Well, this morning I did do.

On a very spring-like Saturday morning (following a week of cold and rainy ( Read more... )

Most of my friends here and on other fora will know me as Bealdordash.  The name Bardawulf was bestowed on me when I gave my gesíþcunde áþ (oath of companionship) to the Geférrǽden Fyrnsidu this past Éostre (2008 actually, this is a "date out of order" post).  I noticed the username Bardawulf was available here on LJ, and decided I should begin ( Read more... )
