Reddit mentions of A Piece of Horse Liver: Myth, Ritual and Folklore in Old Icelandic Sources

Hey there!

There are some books referenced in HeathenTalk that are not included, or are included as supplementary reading, in the reading list here. I'm early on in the podcast--I am just behind you, listening to the LGBT* episode--and just ordered A Piece of Horse Liver as it was mentioned in the podcast and sounded interesting. So you might keep a list running as you listen to check out those books/sources later and see if they would be of interest.

There are a couple places you can look for other heathens in your area--on the side bar there is a "Members Location" section, and some of the major heathen organizations in the US have regional breakdowns of groups affiliated with them. I'm not going to link to them here, but a little online searching will bring them up.

I'll leave the wight gift cycle to another user who is more familiar with it--currently I am more focused on ancestor veneration, though I give to the wights as well.

There is absolutely precedent for keeping an ancestral altar in your home. You may remember in the N00bcast (I believe), u/thatsnotgneiss mentioned her ancestor altar being within eye level during the broadcast. It's absolutely encouraged to remember them and offer them gifts, such as food or a drink they enjoyed in life. You can also honor them by telling their stories during sumbel and the like.
