Extend the hand of friendship to all. #Fyrnsidu #HeathenSky

In the wake of Manchester’s tragedy, we of Fyrnsidu stand in solidarity with all faiths. Violence against any religious community is an affront to wyrd and frið. We condemn hate and honour peace, holding fast to kinship, compassion, and the shared bonds of humanity. #Fyrnsidu #HeathenSky

The Challenges of Private Praxis (and how to overcome them) #Fyrnsidu #HeathenSky

Poignant. We're as thin in number as the veil itself. But that can also be a strength. Reach out, community is where you look for it. #Fyrnsidu #HeathenSky

There's more to Weed Month (Weodmonað) than you realise...

The Anglo-Saxon calendar can be a tricky beast to master (Just ask Bede!) but thankfully, we have @heathenwildcat.bsky.social and his fantastic Mine Wyrtruman blog to help us figure it out! #Fyrnsidu #HeathenSky

Hail Mōna! #Fyrnsidu #HeathenSky

Hope Springs Eternal

Frīgedæg blessings to all!

Wishing you all a safe Þunorsdæg.

The Way of Wyrd #Fyrnsidu #HeathenSky #poetry

I did another poem. seolforcwyllaheorth.wordpress.com/2025/08/13/n... #Fyrnsidu #Poetry #HeathenSky

'Neath the ash tree's whispering shade Wōden walks, runes are laid One eye lost to drink the deep Wyrd and shadows coil and sleep His ravens wheel in storm-tossed skies Bearing secrets, carrying lies Yet still the wind will not reveal What truth Hygeferigend keeps concealed #HeathenSky #Fyrnsidu

Private polytheistic worship provides the underlying foundation for a stable religious practice in Fyrnsidu. The establishment of hearth cult is thus considered to be the most important exercise the individual Heathen can take religiously. #HeathenSky #Fyrnsidu

Cosmology in Fyrnsidu is a regular topic of discussion with some tantalising snippets of information obtained from ancient texts and sources. The beauty of Fyrnsidu is that it is up to you to form your own view of what feels right. The linked article can help you! No dogma! #HeathenSky #Fyrnsidu

The case for Æled – An Anglo-Saxon Fire God. Reconstruction in Heathenry is the practice of reviving and honouring pre-Christian religions by carefully researching and emulating historical beliefs, rituals, and cultural practices. And so, Beofeld makes the case for Æled. 🔥 #Fyrnsidu #HeathenSky

The Gifting Cycle is basic but fundamental to Fyrnsidu. We like the term "Do ut Des", roughly translated to "I give so that you might give". It represents sacred reciprocity. This is the foundation of the relationship we form between us and the gods. #Fyrnsidu #Heathensky

In a world of anger, sadness, bigotry, lies, damned lies, and statistics, there must always be hope. #NatureFindsAWay #Hope #Heathensky

And finally, a prayer to Hengest and & Horsa for Midsumor. May Sunne's light guide you along the path of Wyrd and give you warmth to share with others along the way. A very happy Solstice to all! #Midsumor #Heathensky #Fyrnsidu #Solstice larhusfyrnsida.com/a-midsumor-p...

Then this masterful ritual from Beofeld: windintheworldtree.wordpress.com/2017/06/26/m... #Fyrnsidu #Midsummer #HeathenSky #Solstice

Next we have this example from @notlostwanderer.bsky.social seolforcwyllaheorth.wordpress.com/2017/07/01/m... #Fyrnsidu #Midsummer #Heathensky #Solstice

First up we have this excellent example from Rose: forthweard.blog/2024/06/12/a... #Fyrnsidu #Midsummer #Heathensky #Solstice

Midsummer/Midsomer/Liða Blessings to everyone! Today we celebrate the Solstice, when Sunne is at her peak and we have the longest day, a triumph of light over dark. Examples of Fyrnsidere Midsomer rituals can be found in the posts that follow this one. #Fyrnsidu #Heathensky #Solstice #Midsummer

A newly discovered 7th-century gold coin in East Anglia depicts Christian and Pagan symbols intertwined—offering rare insight into Britain’s spiritual crossroads during the Anglo-Saxon era. Scholars believe it marks a cultural turning point. wildhunt.org/2025/06/rare... #archaeology #witch #pagan

Wishing everyone a happy and safe Pride Month from all of us here at Fyrnsidu. Be proud of who you are. We all love you for it! #Fyrnsidu #HeathenSky #Pride

We don't have a hierarchy in our group. The Discord server is run by a few who have shown willing and have varying degrees of experience and knowledge regarding Fyrnsidu. We don't feel the need for titles, positions, or hierarchy. Our focus is on community. Sharing is caring. #Fyrnsidu #HeathenSky

It's Frīgedæg! Friday means the day of Frīg from the Old English and She is one of the principle Gods of Fyrnsidu. But have you ever wanted to know more about Her and why she is palpably different to the Norse God Frigg? This detailed article from our own Beofeld explains all: #Fyrnsidu #HeathenSky

Ever wondered what makes a Fyrnsidere? All are truly welcome in Fyrnsidu so whatever your background, if it resonates with you, you're welcome to reach out to us! Some basic understandings of what makes a Fyrnsidere can be found here: #Fyrnsidu #HeathenSky larhusfyrnsida.com/what-makes-a...

Following on from the May Day celebrations at Cerne yesterday, here is a tale of the Thyrs (Þyrs) of Cerne and a link to information about these mighty, chaotic, and dangerous wights (wīhta). seolforcwyllaheorth.wordpress.com/fundamentals... #HeathenSky #Fyrnsidu

Morris Dancers perform the May Day dance on Cerne Hill, home to the legendary giant of Cerne and the local deity, Helið at the Silver Well from whence our own Hrēodbēorht gorgeous the name for his hearth! #Fyrnsidu #HeathenSky www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The case for Blōstmfrēols, the Old English gloss for the Roman festival of Floralia. Many Fyrnsidere choose to venerate Ēostre as Goddess of flowers (Ēostre Blōstmbǣrende) at this time to mark the end of the Ēostre season. Blessings to you! #Fyrnsidu #HeathenSky larhusfyrnsida.com/2017/03/18/b...

#PaganComingOutDay (PCOD), May 2nd. The intent is to provide an opportunity for those who are looking for guidance on how to “come out of the broom closet,” and invite local Pagans who are already out to share their experiences and some “how-to” for the transition from private to public. #pagansky

"Ode to Ingui" by Hrēodbēorht. Find out more about the god of the Ingaevones, predecessors to the Angles, Saxons and Jutes at larhusfyrnsida.com/fundamentals... #Fyrnsidu #HeathenSky

So we don't have Valkyries in Anglo-Saxon sources, right? Wrong. In fact, they may have referred to them before their Norse counterparts... #Fyrnsidu #Heathensky seolforcwyllaheorth.wordpress.com/fundamentals...

Eostre walks where blossoms bloom, In dawn’s soft light she lifts the gloom. Not cross, but hare and egg she brings, Of springtime birth and sacred things. Forget not roots in pagan cheer, Eostre reigns this time of year. #Fyrnsidu #HeathenSky #poetry

In Hel's dark hall, cold shadows sleep, She holds the key and rules the deep. Underworld queen, dread and pale, She claims the dead beyond the veil. No boast nor blade can break her gate In silence still, all meet their fate. #Poetry #Fyrnsidu #HeathenSky

Many Fyrnsidere worship Hell or Hel as the goddess who looks over the realm of the dead, which is also known as Hell. Hell appears in at least one example of Old English literature showing she is not a Norse-only goddess. #Fyrnsidu #HeathenSky

Today is Friday, or Frīgedæg! Frīg is a goddess who is associated with love, beauty, marriage, motherhood, and even magic and prophesy. She is generally viewed to be married to Woden. She is often thought of as a hearth-goddess as well within Fyrnsidu.

The Nine Herbs Charm. Why is it relevant? The charm is a direct piece of Old English magical and healing lore, preserved in the Lacnunga, a 10th-century Anglo-Saxon text. This charm offers an authentic link to pre-Christian Anglo-Saxon belief and practice. #Fyrnsidu Read a translation:

Wīhta, or Wights, are an important part of Fyrnsidere praxis. Click the link to find out more! fyrnsidu.faith/wights/ #Fyrnsidu #HeathenSky

Who are The Wyrde? Known to some as "The Fates," they are well documented in Norse Heathenry, but were likely referred to collectively by the Anglo-Saxons. Beofeld explains more in this excellent article: #Fyrnsidu #HeathenSky

Why is Beowulf relevant to Fyrnsidu? Beowulf, an Old English epic poem, holds relevance to Fyrnsidu for several reasons: • Cultural Context • Ethos & Values • Mythological Elements • Ancestral Connection • Language and Tradition More to follow! #Fyrnsidu #HeathenSky

What other differences are there between Fyrnsidu and Norse Heathenry? There are many, but just one of these is the difference in Gods we worship. Today, we will look at Hengest and Horsa, and the case for them as divine twins. Tomorrow, we'll talk Beowulf... #Fyrnsidu #HeathenSky

Frið/Friþ, Griþ and Mund... No, not just random letters and symbols, but fundamental concepts designed to help us all get along. With recent events in the news, understanding these concepts couldn't be more timely! #Fyrnsidu #HeathenSky seolforcwyllaheorth.wordpress.com/fundamentals...

As we start the approach towards our Ēostre celebrations, please have a read of this lovely ritual by our Discord member, Rose, which you can use to help you prepare in advance for the day itself. Ritual is wonderful to do together, but even alone, it is a powerful thing! #Fyrnsidu #HeathenSky

Equinox blessings to all who observe it today. In Fyrnsidu, we acknowledge the seasonal shift slightly differently, as some Fyrnsidere only acknowledge two seasons - Summer and Winter! Many acknowledge the start of Summer at our Ēostre festival. It ends at Winterfylleð... #Fyrnsidu #HeathenSky

Liminality. What is it, and how is it relevant in Fyrnsidu and beyond? This excellent article from the Lārhūs Fyrnsida explains all. #Fyrnsidu #HeathenSky larhusfyrnsida.com/water-and-li...
