I've been wanting to buy a hammer necklace or earings or something for a while now. It'd be more Romantic if someone bought them for me though don't you think?

And I also listen to a lot of viking metal/folk metal, and am very fascinated in viking history.

That one is insane! How much?

It will only cost about fourty dollars.

The double-sided rune ring I wish to get will cost me about 80.

Krigloch the Furious · May 12, 2006

yeah I've been thinking about getting a custom rune ring, with my last name in runes and the othala rune.

UndyingDarkness · May 12, 2006

I probably wouldn't buy it though, I would be considered a heretic for wearing it.

I'm going to have one side say "Child of Mother Nature" and I've yet to decide what I wish the other side to say.

EDIT: So what if you are considered a heretic, unless you yourself are very Christian or at all don't worry about what others think.

Well I was baptised christian, but I don't even go to church.

Mort Divine · May 12, 2006

I was baptised and confirmed as a Christian, but it does not stop me from exploring my true spirit path.

Simple rituals like that do not bind you to their religion.

Krigloch the Furious · May 12, 2006

no shit, take back what is yours!

UndyingDarkness · May 12, 2006

I am on the same thinking path as you, I am christian with agnostic beliefs. I don't think about religion too much and I don't let it interfere with my life.

Krigloch the Furious · May 12, 2006

so you're a christian, and you want to wear Thors hammer??

Susperia · May 12, 2006

I'm an atheist.. Krig, Scally--- Do you two actually believe Viking myths to be true??

Krigloch the Furious · May 12, 2006

it has nothing to do with Vikings. Im German, my ancestors worshipped the "norse" gods. Its sort of a calling to learn about and have strong feelings towards their beliefs, almost natural.

Indeed

Mort Divine · May 12, 2006

Do I believe in the Norse myths? As in the Norse creation, warriors going to Valhalla, and the Ragnarok?

I don't know.

However, if you are asking if I feel a connection to the nature and the Gods my ancestors worshiped then yes, maybe not in the truest form but yes. I choose to represent my spirit with the symbols of the Norse, as I have Scandinavian ancestors, even if the gods I feel connected with are not those that go by the names Thor, Odin, Frigg, etc. The names do not matter to me, it is the spirits/gods themselves that matter and how I idenitify with them.
