What happens when we prioritize living relationships over written sources?

Rather than centering the conversation on sagas, academic reconstruction, or even the Gods themselves, this discussion leans heavily into animism—the lived reality of a world that is active, aware, and responsive. We talk about why a Heathenry rooted only in texts risks becoming stagnant, abstract, and disconnected from the very worldview that once gave it life.
