Guide to Reading the Eddas Want to know how to read the Eddas but aren't sure where to start? This guide is for those looking for pointers and recommendations.

Dropped a new guide today in honor of getting the website rebuilt. I'm really looking forward to posting articles more often now that everything's organized. skaldskeep.com/guides/readi...

Skald's Keep A Norse Pagan website about Heathenry, Magic, Practice, and more.

The website is live again! I still have a few things I need to tweak so you might catch it in maintenance-mode again, but if you do, wait about a half-hour or so and it'll be back. Also, please note the info box on the front page: skaldskeep.com

I have put the website into maintenance mode in preparation for deploying some major changes! It should be back up in a day or two if not sooner.

I had to rework the module because it escaped the scope of an introduction. I think I'm about halfway done now. Can't quite estimate how long it'll be before it's up and I rework the website because things came up, but hopefully it'll be within the next month.

The first module is going to be an introduction to Heathenry, and it will provide an overview about its composition, history, and how to practice it. The idea is to give you a map of Heathenry's landscape, rather than tell you what to do / not to do in practice.

Next step for the site will be an overhaul of how it structures information. This is mostly back-end stuff, but it will make it easier to find info you're looking for. I'm also putting together learning modules that will serve as 101 crash-courses for various topics.

I finally made one of these...three years after my Twitter account was axed. Follow for updates to the website.
