Ray is a former institutional machine cog like many of us. He described his Christianity to have been like that of a chronic seeker. He did a deep dive into Christianity, attended seven different congregations, and was baptized three times. Now he has taken the plunge down the rabbit hole embracing the questioning of everything. Conspiracy theory, Christian teachings, the formation of America, the Bible, the Apocrypha, the lost books of the Bible, and more.

Jen and I sit down and run through our 2016 with you while listening to music, drinking tasty beverages, sharing candidly about where we are at in our lives together, regarding, religion, politics, family, having children, and our hopes for the upcoming New Year. Not to mention, arguing about the difference between introvert and extrovert.
This is our second time doing a holiday special on the podcast, perhaps now it is an annual tradition!
The holidays and Christmas are not awesome for everyone. We take the time to share our personal struggles, family struggles, and the answers we find for ourselves despite all the drama of the holidays.

Alf Herigstad, an Asatru Gothi, whose Kindred have dropped the Asatru moniker and landed on Heathen. He is a Heathen Gothi (Preist) who shares his story and experiences with us. A carry over from the last episode, Alf grabs his Rune Stones and prepares to read my rune draw. As a bonus, he invited me to attend his Kindred’s Yule Blót this last weekend. Was I ready to attend my first heathen blood sacrifice ritual to the gods? Find out in this week's episode, plus bonus material about my experience at the Yule Blót as I recorded my thoughts on my drive to and from the Blót.

Alf Herigstad, he was on the path to be a Pentecostal demon hunting preacher when he became a Norwegian Reality TV Star (Alt For Norge, Season 3) where he found the spiritual path of his ancestors and then becomes an Asatru Gothi. Not in this particular order necessarily, but you get the idea.
I ask Alf to chat with me over mead and beers to teach me the ways of Norse Folk Life. Words like pagan, heathen, and diviner are discussed as I try not to shit my pants. I'm a former Christian for heaven sake; I'm not ready for this! Haha, yeah right!
He patiently tells me his story, and we find a lot of great connections, spiritual and otherwise. As we end the show Alf invites me to come and experience a Yule Blót and I am curious about him reading my stones, my Rune Stones that is.
