I am an Asatruar from the greater Vancouver area. I was born in Northern Ontario, Canada. I discovered Odin when I was not yet a teen. I didn't find the name until I was in my late teens. I travelled many paths including Judaism, Christianity both east and west, Islam and many other earth based religions. I always returned to my ancestral home with the gods and goddesses of the north. I feel akin also to Celtic and Russian pagans. I am interested of course in Asatru, ancient Nordic and modern revival Nordic groups and magic and runes. I also am interested in fine arts and am trying to revive my own lagging art in spite of many years of neglect. I know I have the ability and with the support of my kindreds and the gods will rise once again. I'm 58 years old, with 3 sons, 3 step sons and 7 grand kids. I have the pleasure of much of my family following or starting to follow the old ways. I welcome all new friends, mentors and students.
