About me: Swain Æþeling Wódening, one of the founding members of the Miercinga Theod, started his Heathen life back in 1984 along with his brother. He learned of the AFA the year it disbanded, but in 1989 he learned of and joined the Troth. Shortly thereafter, he learned of Theodism, then solely an Anglo-Saxon phenomena, and joined the Winland Ríce in 1993. He rapidly advanced to the arung of lord by writing articles and attracting new members. In 1996, after several disputes with the leadership, he left to form the Angelseaxisce Ealdriht with Winfred Hodge. The Ealdriht grew to be the largest Anglo-Saxon Heathen and Theodish organization to ever exist. The Ealdriht eventually became the Miercinga Theod in an effort to encourage regionalism, and to return to a purer form of Theodish Belief. He led that organization until June, 2006 when he resigned to seek a deeper spirituality. His former wife Teresa Canote then took over leadership until March of 2008 when the Miercinga Theod dissolved. In June, 2007, he joined Englatheod which was founded by his brother, Eric Wodening (author of We are Our Deeds). It is now a part of Hwít Mersc Þéod, and called Wednesbury Shire.
Swain has written several books and booklets and countless articles including Hammer of the Gods: Anglo-Saxon Paganism in Modern Times, Þéodisc Geléafa "The Belief of the Tribe:": A Handbook on Germanic Heathenry and Theodish Belief,
and Germanic Magic.
Who I'd like to meet: Fellow Theodsmen, Asatruar, and Germanic Heathens in general, esp. in the Dallas, Texas area as I will be moving back there soon.
Hail, How's life treating you? Thank you for the information on Heathen/Viking Weddings, my Fiance' read the article the other night.
On a different note, Heathen places has put my account to non-active as opposed to going around email channels through the site i figured i'd just let you know, acount name Hadet.
I've hit a rough patch of late, so I won't be on much for a while. I would ask that you not delete me, and I'll be back on as soon as I can. Things with the move fell through, and I'm having to do borrow a couch at the moment...I'll be back on as soon as I can. Thanks and know that you're a friend and are missed.
Some of the statues from Camposanto Monumentale. Part of the Pisa Cathedral. Which itself is part of the big architectural complex, called "The Field of Miracles / Piazza dei Miracoli"
If you're free one January 16th or 17th I'm headed through Columbia on my way back to St. Louis for the holidays with my Family. I was curious if you'd be interested in having lunch or something as I keep missing Mid-Missouri Pagan Pride and haven't had the chance to really talk.
