Hammerhof

 A thousand or so years ago the European Heathen peoples Christianized. What this means is that they threw out the old gods in favor of one new god and that was that. Well, not really. Christian historians (i.e., monks and the like) would like you to believe that all the old folkloric traditions, the tribalist pagan worship was put on the curb and picked up to be disposed of. The reality is that most of the ancient pagan ways of the European Heathens was incorporated into Christianity, including the gods. This may come as a shock, but we know that Heathens prayed, and they did so in various ways: standing and holding their hands open and high, keening, and prone. When they prayed, they asked for things like help with crops, health, trade, and probable for that new tunic they saw in the corner store. The point is they pray for the same things people, non-Heathens, pray for now and they did it much in the same way Christians pray today. In the Heathen glory days, religion was tribal

I have changed the name of this blog to Hammerhof. I am making a slight change in direction to focus on Hammerhof rather than random musings. Hammerhof is theoretically a heathen temple complex that I have been building over the years.  Going forward I will be focusing on Hammerhof and its future and Heathenry in its present modern evolution. What that means is that I will write about the Hof and the practices within.  Back in 2020 I wrote about Hammerhof as a kindred . I have Since stopped the use of the word kindred in favor of tribe. Back in 2020 I was trying to revive the old Hammerhof as a it was in the early 2000s, a kindred. Time changes all, and Hammerhof time as a kindred or tribe is over. Hammerhof and I have evolved to a new state, a new level of awareness and being. I am moving forward to build my temple and to make use of it.
