Empirical Religion
Posted by Byron Pendason on August 27, 2022 CE, in Heathenry, Heathen basics, Heathen worldview, ReconstructionHeathenry is, at its heart, an empirical religion.1 This is actually true of many religions, but it’s especially true for reconstructed religions.

Posted by Byron Pendason on August 23, 2022 CE, in Heathenry, Heathen basics, RantsThis blog post is going to be a bit different from my usual. It’s going to be more of a rant than an informational post. It’s been stewing for a while, but we’ll get into the why here in a little bit.

The Anglo-Saxon Calendar page has been updated with a new algorithm
Posted by Byron Pendason on August 3, 2022 CE, in Heathenry, Anglo-saxon calendar, Updates, TechI have updated my Anglo-Saxon Calendar page to use a new algorithm that determines the beginning of the month. Comparing my results with a moon sighting website1, the old algorithm had a 50% accuracy (every other month was a day off). Using the new algorithm, it appears to have a 100% accuracy. Trigger warning: This website is a Christian website from the Hebraic roots movement. It is possible this site can trigger some individuals who has had trauma inflicted by Christianity. ↩

Posted by Byron Pendason on August 1, 2022 CE, in Heathenry, Cosmology, Myths, ReconstructionI’m working on a novela at the moment, called Young Penda and the Swamp Ettin. In the story, a young Penda goes to a witch to inquire about the origins of the ettins, and she ends up telling him about the origins of everything. So, I wrote a myth for the story, and decided to share it here.
