Heathen in Progress

First posts are always the hardest. We put so much weight on introductions and opening statements, but perhaps that's the wrong way to do it. Nothing to do but to do it.

Heathen in Progress is meant to be exactly what it says on the tin. A place for me to wax philosophical and record my thoughts as I begin a serious study into the kind of Germanic Paganism that was practiced throughout pre-Christian Northern Europe. I have a suspicion the blog will itself become half-theorycrafting, half-opinion, and half note-taking. I expect to be wrong frequently, and hopefully having my mistakes a matter of public record will keep me humble.

More than anything, I think this is meant to be a record of my journey and beliefs, not just for me but for friends, loved ones, and family members. Its not easy to find out that someone you love is interested in something that can sound so scary or unknown. I hope that through this, I might be able to explain myself and leave something for anyone who might follow.

Wish me luck.
