The Life and Thoughts of a Modern Day American Heathen
I am back from a surgery that should have taken more more than two weeks of recovery – had every possible complication – even had lung problems. But I’m back and will be writing again soon. Thank you all for your patience and your support.
Hrafnkell Haraldsson is the author of A Heathen’s Day, which since 2005 has addressed the life and thoughts of a modern day Heathen. He maintains a second blog, Digital Gods (www.digital-gods.com) which focuses on polytheism for the digital age. He is also the founder of the Mos Maiorum Foundation (www.mosmaiorum.org) which is dedicated to the study and support of Paganism as ethnic religion.

Tried twice to link/distance Eostre, Ostara and Easter, and both times my writings disappeared. So I am taking the “hint”…
Anyway, in the not-so-distant past, when the end of winter was one of fear of starvation… when the lengthening days finally thinned the snow cover, when lambs were birthed, rabbits had offspring, and hens once again laid eggs, our forebears knew that the season of rebirth of grow had returned. They were not the only ones. I remember those post WWII years in Germany, and those older than even me, will vouch for the years preceding them all over Europe:
Those winters when there was little left but a few sprouting potatoes, some rutabagas and maybe a gift of a cabbage or two from the farmers for whom my mother would repair worn clothes.
By that time the peat we had dug the spring prior had also run low.
Yes, I celebrate the return of the growing season each and every turn around the Sun and I am filled with gratitude for the Universal Cycle.
May the greening and growing of the new season be beneficial to us all.
Hail to the gods for allowing you to return to Midgard!
Awesome! Hail the gods–we’ll see you soon!

Ok…I take back the statement about passing to Valhalla – You have had some difficulties there! I am grateful and glad everything is well, after all! Blog is looking great – I was having “A Heathen’s Day” withdrawal symptoms for about the past ten months! Now if I can just keep it updating this time…blessings upon you – continue to improve, although you sound as though you’re all the way back now!
