I suck at introductions, so I'll stick to the script.
1. Do you have a dog or a cat? If so, what is its name? No pets.
2. What is your favorite color? Seafoam Green.
3. Can you eat crackers and whistle at the same time? Never tried it, but sure why not.
4. Did you take Spanish in high school? If not, why not? (It is acceptable to have taken German instead). Took German for about 3 years, and i can now successfully order a large beer in German. I say mission accomplished.
5. Were you nice to your little brother as a child? I am the little brother.
6. Do you like brussel sprouts? Nope.
7. Have you ever eaten at the Golden Corral? If so, why? I have no idea what that is.

Welcome to the forum. What sort of religous background do you have? And I have tried whistling and chewing crackers. It's exceedingly difficult.

You were the little brother? And survived? That makes me doubly glad to have you here. The Golden Corral is a buffet style restaurant that has the ambience of a soccer stadium full of drunken fans. It is an institution around these parts. We are all animal lovers here. We are going to have to work on getting you a puppy or kitten.

Raised mostly Christian, now I'm Asatru. Huzzah! Another polytheist in the mix! Do you have any particular deity you honor? What are your feelings on the Jotun; I know some Asatru consider them worthy of honor and other feel they are only worth reviling? Do you belong to any specific tribe or specific group you belong to? I know that there seems to be different branches of the Aatru groups like Odinism, Folkish, and Theodists while other people belong to tribes. What got you into Asatru?

Those are great questions, huy! Thanks for asking. Seriously, I wanted to pursue that piece of information but I am so ignorant that I didn't even know what questions to ask! Now I don't have to. Looking forward.

Odin, namely. Of course I honor all the Gods and Goddesses, but I feel more connected to Odin.
The Gods didn't find them worthy enough to enter Asgard, so I don't see why i should honor them.
Not yet, but I've been meaning to join Forn Sidr, the Danish Asatru society.
I wasn't aware there were actual tribes one could join, but you have to be cautious when looking to join one of the bigger organizations. All religions have their dark sides, and some Asatru groups subscribe to Nordic Racism, a sort of Neo-Nazi type of belief that i would very much like to avoid.
It was the only religion that made sense to be after being raised Christian. The Gods, beliefs, morals and such just made the most sense to me.

There are all sorts of things I would like to know! How do you worship? Are there formal things you do (gather with others, rites? rituals? ) You don't have to explain that in your intro thread but we do have a Kemetic Orthodoxy/Polytheism board. If I rename it "Polytheism" is that too generic? I want both you and huy to feel respected. I could make a separate board for Asatru easily and you would have a place to say as much or as little as you like.

Are there formal things you do (gather with others, rites? rituals? ) I hope you won't mind me not explaining it all right now, but I'm extremely tired after a long day here, so for now I'm afraid you'll have to settle with this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bl%C3%B3t I'm Danish, it takes a hell of a lot to make us feel disrespected. No no the board we have now is fine, and i appreciate your concern.
