The Choice of Beowulf

Posted by Byron Pendason on August 25, 2023 CE, in Heathenry, Heathen worldview, Myths, Reconstruction

Wes hāl!1 This is an original tale that I’ve written, inspired both by Beowulf (obviously) as well as Hercules at the Crossroads (also known as The Choice of Hercules). I hope you enjoy it! Wes hāl and Beo gesund are Old English greetings and farewells that literally mean Be well/whole/healthy. The first seemed to be more common among the Anglian dialects and the second more common among the Saxon dialects. I prefer to use both though, the first as a greeting and the second as a farewell. ↩

Five Years as a Pagan

Posted by Byron Pendason on June 10, 2023 CE, in Heathenry, Updates

Wes hāl!1 I’ve been a pagan for five years now, and I’d like to just reminisce a little. This post will be pretty far from my usual type of post, so feel free to ignore this post if you wish. Wes hāl and Beo gesund are Old English greetings and farewells that literally mean Be well/whole/healthy. The first seemed to be more common among the Anglian dialects and the second more common among the Saxon dialects.

An Expanded Anglo-Saxon Creation Myth

Posted by Byron Pendason on April 27, 2023 CE, in Heathenry, Myths, Reconstruction

This is an original myth, written by me. I have written an Anglo-Saxon creation myth before, but this is a much expanded myth. You will notice inspiration from others mythologies (mainly the Norse creation myth), but I also added my own UPG.
