Since the Nazis co-opted Germanic Pagan symbolism and mythology in their rise to power, some of Heathenry’s most sacred symbols have been used to promote hatred.

Last updated on: February 5, 2017 at 8:11 pm By Molly Khan

On June 26th 2015, the Supreme Court ruled that couples of the same sex were to be granted the same legal right to marriage as couples of the opposite sex.

The Chicken or the Egg in the Web of Wyrd

Last updated on: October 19, 2015 at 12:31 pm By Molly Khan
