Not so long ago I was enjoying a profound discussion with a good friend of mine. His analogy of all roads lead to Rome really meaning that all roads lead to the door of death has stuck with me. Largely because it means we are going to need to discuss an ancient Goddess. Hel. Who, as she is described in the lore is most difficult to understand. But it is entirely in line with what a Christian would need people to think. For it was the promise of Jesus that there would be life everlasting.

This wonderfully romantic tale is only found in the paper copies of The Eddas, an unnamed collection of Norse works.

Starting at a place which brought us to a point where the very concept of our survival hinged upon the imperative of change, we have rediscovered an ancient path.

Lif and Lifthrasir are not people of our age who happened to hide in a tree. They are our ancestors, sequestered away, prepared to impart the knowledge of the runes and how to live life according to them in a new world. Using the Hynluljoth, the Reginsmol, Fafnismol, and many others, I have pointed out how we might prepare ourselves not only for daily life as Asatruars, but also our children for whatever the future might hold for them.
