Europe was sparsely populated before and germanic tribes all related somehow by marriages and warbrides (many swedish and finnish women were left behind in 30 year war for example and married local men).

What do we call a god today; our heroes. If the elders of old attained that status, I'd erect a effigy to my grandfather and George Carlin everywhere I went to.

In truth, they are caused by out-of-focus particles (dust, pollen, lint, even moisture) hanging in the air. They are within a few feet of the flash and the lens, and are thus lit brightly by the flash...and turned into "orb" shapes because they are so out of focus. I've experimented with taking photos with and without a flash...and I've created orb photos by putting extra dust or lint into the air. You can try this yourself if you want. It is a common misunderstanding among people that orbs are ghosts or spirits, so I completely understand why you would believe that. Now, that doesn't mean you don't have house or land spirits where you live. Not in the least. :-)<br />ghostvigil.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03643288508875275397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872655574498550562.post-49717204762810561982013-06-18T02:22:21.391-05:002013-06-18T02:22:21.391-05:00thank you for this information.

I've been hunting mine with a digital camera, fascinated by the bright and colourful orbs I am rewarded with. <br /><br />I am confirmed now in what course of action I am to take in this matter and no longer am apprehensive of their presence. I use plural because there is more than one orb in any pictures that I might take. I will put this information to good use, and thank you for the time you have taken in posting this remarkably useful knowledge. May the gods watch over you and your endeavours.

I'm fairly new to Asatru and have been using blogger as a way to connect and learn, and this particular post really struck home for me (Funnily enough, I just wrote a post on my own blog dealing with the ideas of weaknesses and flaws as far as I understood them within the context of Asatru) it was nice to hear another voice articulate the way I feel about my own weaknesses and how they should be overcome.<br /><br />Definitely following you and looking forward to reading your past entries.<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />-AndersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872655574498550562.post-55508554227154188092013-04-20T13:42:48.073-05:002013-04-20T13:42:48.073-05:00I'm going to buy one of your books and then dr...I'm going to buy one of your books and then drop you a review.

Understanding the differences is the first step into grasp and understand the teutonic germanic and northern norse roots of heathenry. Me personally I go with what is mentioned in the edda's that is my guide book to understanding. And chatting with the gods at times, completion becomes satisfying. Never give up and stand for what you believe in, though let others breathe their own as well.Nari987https://www.blogger.com/profile/09784121897400206476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872655574498550562.post-30412991906689777452013-01-11T21:41:52.885-06:002013-01-11T21:41:52.885-06:00Great post, Mark, you nailed it.
