Join us for another Meet the Board conversation with The Asatru Community’s Treasurer. From personal path to practical stewardship, we explore how spiritual values can inform financial responsibility, and how one heathen balances Vanir practice with all of what life throws at them. We dive into their role within TAC, and the unique ways they serve both the gods and the community. The conversation was so rich, we had to split it into two parts—so be sure to come back for part two!

⚠️ Trigger Warning

Before diving into today’s episode, please note that this discussion includes mentions of racism, Nazism, blood, and self-harming behavior. Listener discretion is advised.

The Asatru Community does not condone or promote self-harm in any form. We also firmly denounce Nazism, Neo-Nazism, white supremacy, and all forms of hate or extremist ideologies. These views are entirely incompatible with our values.

In this episode, we sit down with Gerda Gisela Thunorsdottir, author of Runes of the Futhark: Master rune casting, unlock their power, explore divination for protection and spiritual growth. We explore her journey into Heathenry, what inspired her book, and how runes continue to serve as a spiritual and practical tool in modern pagan practices.

This conversation is both grounded and inspiring, especially for newcomers looking to build a deeper relationship with rune work and Norse spirituality.

What makes a space sacred, and how can you create one that aligns with your Heathen practice? In this episode, I explore the history and significance of sacred spaces in Norse and Germanic traditions, from ancient vé and hörgr to modern altars and outdoor shrines. We’ll discuss different ways to establish a sacred space—whether in your home, outdoors, or on the go—and how to dedicate and maintain it.

Whether you're working with limited space, sharing a home with non-Heathens, or looking for new ways to connect with the landvættir and your ancestors, this episode will offer practical tips and inspiration. Tune in and learn how to create a space that feels truly sacred to you.
