That's pretty much it as far as me networking online... I have more of a life these days so my Internet usage is not what it once was.


VIRTUAL SHRINES

Virtual shrines are a way of honoring the Gods if you are at work or traveling, or in a living situation where you cannot have a regular altar.  (It's also good for taking a few moments to re-group on those occasions of Internets being srs bizness.)

Here's mine:

To Ingvi the Golden One

Gerda's Grove

Freyja's Sessrumnir Shrine

Noatun (Shrine to Njord)

Eir's Shrine

Shrine to Tyr

Shrine to Ullr

Shrine to Frigga

Shrine to the Nine Daughters


A friend of mine maintains the following shrines:

The Loki Shrine

Angrboda's Shrine

Sigyn's Shrine

Narvi and Vali's Shrine

Shrine to Hel

Shrine to Fenrir

Shrine to Iormundgand


Another friend of mine has these shrines:

Shrine to Skadhi

Shrine to Surt

Shrine to Loki (yes, another one)

Shrine to Odin


This is not a Northern Tradition shrine but I'm linking to it anyway:

Santa Muerte Shrine


Not a single shrine, but

Altar Project
A friend of mine is co-ordinating this project, to create altars to the Northern Deities in "mundane" spaces, whether in public locations in the city, or the privacy of the woods.



SITES OF GROUPS

Vanaheim Fellowship
A fellowship (neither a Kindred nor an organization) focused on reviving and maintaining a cultus of the Vanir Gods for the 21st century.

Iron Wood Kindred
The website of my Kindred, which holds EtinMoot.

Urdabrunnr Kindred
A Heathen Kindred grounded in both mysticism and Lore, based in New York.

Kenaz Kindred
A small Kindred based in Ontario, Canada.

Cauldron Farm
This is a website of the home of the Kingdom of Asphodel, which contains writings of Raven Kaldera, who has been a huge help with all of... this.  Stuff.



PERSONAL SITES

Chambers of the Heart
The writings of my good friend Gunnlod-Hjarta, a Witch dedicated to Odin and Gunnlod, who has wonderful writings on the path of loving service to her Gods.

Children of Eir
A site of writings by Ayla Wolffe, a Freyjasgydhia (who is one of my best friends IRL, because Frey and Freyja go together like peas and carrots) specifically to raise awareness of disabled Northern religionists, Heathen or otherwise, who get flak from the "self-reliance" crew.  I think this is very sorely needed for our times as more are coming into the Northern religion who are disabled or will become disabled in the future.

Every Day Valkyrie
Ayla Wolffe's personal website, with opinions, poetry, and other writings.  More Northern religion discussion, from a slightly different perspective than mine, but still good; I respect her opinions very much.  (Or she'll kick my ass.  /joke)

Love, Laughter, and Loki
An informative site on Heathen practice from a solitary liberal Heathen and Lokean, who is a good friend of mine.  :)

Gangleri's Grove
A site dedicated to Odin, featuring the writings and services offered by my friend, Galina Krasskova.

A Journal of Love and Pain: Whispers from a Lokean Wife
The writings of Sariel, a friend of mine and a wife of Loki, who has written some beautiful poetry in His honor as well as on other subjects.  Worth your time to read.

Shadowlight
The writings of Abby Helasdottir, specifically on Hela and the Rokkr.

Firefly Pages: A Collection of Northern Tradition Spirit Work
Silence Maestas' site discussing working with plant spirits (including ethenogens), and third-gender/transgender spirituality.

Wodensharrow
A very extensive site with writings, pictures of ritual tools and harrows, and the Heathens Against Hate campaign.

Jordsvin's Norse Heathen Pages
A fine Freysman and an all-around good guy.

Uppsala Online
The writings of Wayland Skallagrimsson, which have also been a huge help.

A Forest Door
A friend's site, focusing on spirit-work.

Sannion's Sanctuary
Another excellent link for Hellenic writings and musings.



MERCHANTS

Asphodel Press
Producing high-quality niche books about the Gods and paths less travelled, although I may be biased because my first book is being released through them.  ;P

Mooncat Creations
Handmade jewelry, sold non-for-profit with proceeds benefitting the Cats Are Us no-kill shelter in Clarksville, Tennessee.  Jewelry!  And kittehs!  I'm sure Freyja approves.  ;P

Ragnar's Ragweed Forge
I've personally done business with them (most notably with my Frey pendant) and am very pleased.  Large selection of jewelry and more, good quality, good service.

Crafty Celts
This is an endorsement from my other half, who bought a boar pendant through them.  Personally, I'm kind of drooling over the stained glass...

Botanical
For herbal products, and information.

Magical Omaha
There is some good stuff here, including runic soap and candy molds.

Anglo-Saxon Books
We own quite a few of their titles and could easily buy everything in stock.



INFORMATION

Daven's Journal
This is the best site I have ever seen on Wicca/Paganism.  Honestly, Daven's site was a huge inspiration on mine, although the two are (obviously) on different aspects of Paganism.  But even if you're not Wiccan or a Druid, there's something here for everyone.

Wicca for the Rest of Us
This is a site I would encourage my Wiccan readers to see if they have not done so already, and also those who come here with the assumption that "Wicca = fluffy".  Here is a breath of fresh air on the Pagan Intarwebs.

The Problem of Pagan Bullying
Everyone involved in a Pagan religion (whether it's Wicca, Druidism, Heathenry, Hellenismos, WHATEVER) needs to see this site.  Pagans are not necessarily more tolerant or sane, and I've had... *cough*... some experience with the issue.  FYI, this is not one of my sites, but it's good.

The Wain
An online mag that is sadly defunct now (so it seems) but contains a lot of info on Vanic practice.

Viking Answer Lady
Want to know how the Heathens REALLY felt about homosexuality?  Witchcraft?  Things that make Republicans scared?  I love this site!

Orkneyjar: The Heritage of the Orkney Islands
Information on the cultural traditions of the Orkney Islands, including interesting bits about Odin and etin-like beings.

Finnish Paganism
Because the Finns seem to have a lot of overlap with Norse tradition (and probably many of our Gods), yet are not wanky about it, I have included this site here -- glean what you will.

An Introduction to the Sami People
A site by Sami people, about Sami people.


JUST FOR FUN

If this is all too much SRS BIZNESS for you, have a lulz:

Bunny Shorts
30-second long renditions of classic movies... with animated bunnies.
P.S. Rocky Horror Picture Show FTW.

Rather Good

Weebl's Stuff

xckd

Something Positive

Fark

Boobah Zone
(Yes, I really play here sometimes when I'm stressed out.)

Bert Is Evil

Planet Unicorn HEYYYY

Jesus Dress Up



If you would like me to link to you here, esp. if you are a friend of mine who wants to pimp their page out, let me know.  If you've put a link to my page on your site, let me know and I will return the link, or on the odd chance your website promotes views I find strongly distasteful (such as racist or homophobic views) I will ask you (politely) to remove the link.  Thanks!
