I'm the hot one in the purple shirt. Yeah.

About Me

I'm a big, bearded, 20yr old college student pursuing a Scandinavian Studies/History degree. Afterwards I hope to possibly venture into writing (both poetry and prose) and/or a teaching position of some sort, ideally in the field of Northern European history at the college level. I like to garden, practice gun marksmanship and write. I also do guitar and vocals for Ramblin' Evil Mushroom, and write lots of music for that and some other things.I'm very active in Heathenry/Asatru, and consider the Old Ways an important aspect of my life.

My Interests

Old Norse, Icelandic, Old English-WSOE, modern Norwegian and German, poetry in all of these languages. European history and culture overall, Northern European history from about 400 a.d. to 1200a.d or so to be specific. I also find the Second World War fascinating. I love delving deeper into the lore of my faith, Asatru/Odinism. Gardening and growing fruits and vegetables is enjoyable, I would like to work my own big garden on my own land someday. For now the backyard will have to suffice. I like to read about the above mentioned, also guns and survival, I'm a big fan of Sigurd Olson and Richard Proenneke. Homebrewing is also becoming something of a hobby.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet both of my Grandfathers, and all myancestors. Except Ingjald Ill-ruler, he seems like a dick. Also more Asatruar/Odinists, especially of the Odinic Rite! Hail the Rite! Also other Heathens in the Northern Plains area.Pretty much anyone interested in what I'm interested in, haha, for some good conversation.
