When most pagans hear the term Heathen, they instantly think of the Norse gods and goddesses. Although our best sources come from Scandinavia, Heathen beliefs existed across most of Northern Europe, not only in Scandinavia, but also England, Germany, and nearby regions. This will be a panel discussion by Heathens who practice Norse, Anglo-Saxon, Frankish, and Continental Germanic Heathenry. The panelists are Joseph Beofeld (Anglo-Saxon), Jenn Dodson (Norse/Continental Germanic/Anglo-Saxon), Dane Roberts (Norse/Frankish), and Donnie Schultz (Urglaawe).We will look at the similarities and differences in these Heathen practices and deities. We will also discuss issues in modern reconstruction of these practices, such as written sources, folk traditions, and archaeological evidence.
