SUMMARY:Heathenry Essentials Study Group
DESCRIPTION:6 January\, 2024 – 4:00 PM UTC– 6 January\, 2024 – 6:00 PM UTC\n\n\n\nAbout the Heathenry Essentials Study Chats\n\nWelcome to Heathenry (also known as Asatru). \nPerhaps you are beginning your journey as a Heathen. You may have friends or family that have become Heathen and you’d like to know more about it. It is our hope that\, as you work through the readings\, essays\, and sample questions\, you will develop a fuller understanding of Asatru and what it means to be Heathen in a modern context. This is a free resource available to the public as part of our continuing mission to educate and to serve. You can take this course without a membership in The Troth so that you can learn more about the basics of our faith. \nHow the Heathenry Essentials Study Chat Works\nThe first 60 to 90 min will be a discussion of the current subject chosen by those who attend the chat\, focused on the area of their interest. \nThis part will be recorded.  After the focused study chat\, the remaining time will be open for social hour. This part is not required to attend for participation in the study group\, you can drop off if you’d like.  This portion will not be recorded.  If being recorded causes privacy to be a concern\, feel free to join with the video blocked\, or an attendee can put up a neutral picture in their free Zoom account. Attendees can change their names to a code name and use the chat feature if speaking and having their voice heard or recorded may be a concern. \nBy joining the zoom meeting for the chat part\, you are consenting and agreeing that you are aware the zoom chat will be recorded and posted to YouTube for students in the program. By joining\, you are demonstrating that you consent to this. \nAll who join the room first enter the waiting room and then are admitted into the zoom room by the host. Upon entering the waiting room\, each attendee is auto-set to join with their video and mic turned off so they can choose how they wish to present themselves. (To set their video/picture choices manually). This is also done in case when people who enter the chat after the start time can still join without disturbing the class. A student can join the chat/social at any time while the zoom room is open and active. \nIf not speaking\, please keep your microphone muted. This keeps background noise down and stops switching of the focus of the video off the speaker. Those leaving their mic on and having background noise disturbing the chat will first be requested to turn off-mic; the host may and will mute those who do not comply. For repeated offenses\, the person will be removed from the chat by the host. \nAll entering the chats agree to comply with The Troth’s position on Frith and inclusiveness:\n “The Troth takes great pride in being an organization that welcomes all people without judging them. We believe that no matter what a person’s religious or cultural background\, ancestral background\, physical ability\, gender identity\, or sexual orientation may be if the Gods and Goddesses called to them\, they are welcome.”  \nUnless actively speaking\, please keep your mic muted. \nThis course is taught in English. \nIf any questions\, please email heathenessentials@thetroth.org \nFor Troth Members: there is a Discord chat for the Heathen Essentials Study Group on the Troth Discord to continue conversations\, ask questions\, and have a study community. \nFor non-Troth Members: There is a voluntary mailing list for the Heathen Essentials Study Group to continue conversations\, ask questions\, and have a study community. Troth members who prefer not to use discord may also join the mailing list. \nAdd this recurring event to your calendar\nPlease download and import the following iCalendar (.ics) files to your calendar system. It will preload the entire year. \nMonthly: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/tZEuceCqrzMuGtXU9dcgNSOci1Gq1zywbbQN/ics?icsToken=98tyKuGtrT0jGNWdtBmGRpwMA4_oXerzmFxbjbdlqUbhACd9USz1P7NlI-NlCc_S \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/85369218401?pwd=Nk5Ea1lwM0p6WkZ0YWhYWVJRc2hJZz09 \nMeeting ID: 853 6921 8401 \nPasscode: 945402 \nOne tap mobile to connect via phone verbal only \n+13602095623\,\,85369218401#\,\,\,\,*945402# US \n+13863475053\,\,85369218401#\,\,\,\,*945402# US \nMeeting ID: 853 6921 8401 \nPasscode: 945402 \nFind your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kdWV5hxkTi

Simultaneously near as near can be and far as far can be\, each facet of this sacred trinity contains its own deep mysteries\, wild medicine and guidance. In this contemplative\, collaborative\, and experiential workshop\, we will explore the mystery teachings and healing-magic contained within the Well\, the Tree\, and the Three.

This introductory workshop is about approaching the Runes as spirits in and of themselves. The workshop explores what the lore can tell us about Them\, to how to interact with Them\, to appropriate offerings and communication\, and will delve into deeper aspects of Runework from a spirit-based approach.\n\n\n6:30 EST/ 2330 UTC\nDinner\n\n\n\n\n7:30 EST/0030 UTC\nTorture in Our Name\nLauren Crow\nThe National Religious Campaign Against Torture produced a film in 2022 entitled Torture in Our Name. In this compelling 35-minute documentary for faith audiences\, filmmaker Matthew Gossage showcases the tenacity and resilience of people who have faced the torture of solitary confinement first-hand and are working to end it once and for all. The film traces the stories of campaigns in Louisiana\, New Jersey\, and New York in which survivors of solitary and their allies have mounted successful legislative campaigns in their respective states\, with New Jersey and New York being the first two states in the nation to legislate bans on long-term isolated confinement. Through poignant interviews with survivors whose stories have caused lawmakers to take notice\, as well as faith community leaders who share their own journeys of finding their voice in the movement\, this film will leave you and your religious community inspired to get engaged. Let your light shine and find your place in the movement. \nTune in and prepare for your call to action. It’s time to say “no more” to the torture of solitary confinement\, Torture in Our Name.\n\n\n8:30 EST/0130 UTC\nSacred Gender Ritual\nJai Mohan\nA gender-affirming sumbel.

These hardworking vaettir are legendary crafters\, creating many powerful tools for the Gods\, such as Óðinn’s spear Gungnir\, Þórr’s Hammer Mjölnir\, and Freyja’s Necklace Brisingamen. They are so much more than crafters. Come\, and learn how to develop respectful\, good relationships with Them!\n\n\n1:00 EST/\n1600 UTC\nLunch\n\n\n\n\n2:00 EST/\n1700 UTC\nHeathen Soul Lore in Everyday Life\nWinifred Hodge Rose\nWinifred Rose will begin with a short introduction to Heathen Soul Lore (HSL).

Folk magic offers an opportunity to find that magic by connecting with the local spirits of the land and the practices of those who have lived here for centuries. \nThis path leans far more on plant identification guides than mystical tomes\, and has more in common with naturalists than high magic\, however it is deeply rewarding to be able to find everything you need in your backyard to be able to work both hands of magic.\n\n\n4:00 EST/\n1900 UTC\nCommuning with Ancestors\nEmily streakingfate\nCome and join Emily streakingfate for a ritual of connection and blessings with the Ancestors. This is a participatory ritual. We will begin with a brief introduction of Who the Ancestors and why we are honoring Them. This ritual will involve thanking our Ancestors for our lives\, Their sacrifices\, and Their support and blessings along the way. It will also include a guided meditation and time to commune with Them. We will present our offerings and ask for Their blessings for the year ahead. There will be time for Q&A and sharing at the end\, where you can share what you wish. Feel free to bring a representation of your Ancestors and any ritual objects you wish to include. Please bring any offerings you wish to make\, and a drink or treat for yourself at the end. Think on the ideas for what you want your Ancestors to bless in the coming year.\n\n\n5:30 EST/\n2030 UTC\nLoki Ritual\nChloe Tartt and Cardinal Streamstone\nLoki and the New Year sumbel\n\n\nAfter Loki Ritual\nClosing Ritual\nLauren Crow\nLowering Tyr’s hand and closing another successful virtual Trothmoot!\n\n\n\n
