Jön Upsal's Garden: Towards a Theory of Reconstructionist Religion (Part Three)

http://jonupsalsgarden.blogspot.com/2015/08/towards-theory-of-reconstructionist.html

Sunday, August 2, 2015. Towards a Theory of Reconstructionist Religion (Part Three). In part one of this series. I set some groundwork and asked some questions. In part two. I looked at sources (especially written, but others as well), and how to treat them. Now, I'm pressing on with the gaps and how to fill them in. So that begs the question, how to fill in the many gaps? But that begs the question, where is that bulls-eye centered? The 1st Century Teutones? There could be enormous variation, even thoug...

Jön Upsal's Garden: Towards a Theory of Reconstructionist Religion (Part Two)

http://jonupsalsgarden.blogspot.com/2015/07/towards-theory-of-reconstructionist_19.html

Sunday, July 19, 2015. Towards a Theory of Reconstructionist Religion (Part Two). In part one of this series. I tried to set the stage with some initial questions to frame the issue of how to approach reconstructionist religion (specifically, reconstructionist Heathenry, but applicable to different strains of pre-Christian religion). I'm not exactly going to follow the questions raised in that first post as an outline, but will be referring to them (and hopefully providing some answers) as I progress.

Jön Upsal's Garden: HUAR doesn't speak for me

http://jonupsalsgarden.blogspot.com/2015/05/huar-doesnt-speak-for-me.html

Saturday, May 16, 2015. HUAR doesn't speak for me. I am Joseph, born in the United States, of English, Danish, Swedish, and Ukrainian descent. And “Heathens United Against Racism” (HUAR) doesn’t speak for me. I think people of every ethnicity, and every nationality, should be free to embrace the religious paths of their forefathers. You can’t have diversity without a sense of identity. I’m a proud member of the Asatru Folk Assembly. Posted by Jön Upsal's Gardener at. May 23, 2015 at 4:01 PM. Http:/ therp...

Jön Upsal's Garden: July Garden Update

http://jonupsalsgarden.blogspot.com/2015/07/july-garden-update.html

Monday, July 27, 2015. With the miserably cold Spring that we had here in the Garden State, and the unnaturally cold June and most of July, I'm surprised that the garden is doing as well as it is. But anyway, here are some pics as of today. Tomatoes and peppers to the left, then corn, cucumbers lower right, and pumpkins behind them. (You can see the vé waaay off to the far right if you look closely, and that lattice thing in the far center is the seiðhjallr.). The first actual pumpkin! Of Axe and Plough.

Jön Upsal's Garden: Why is this blog called "Jön Upsal's Garden"?

http://jonupsalsgarden.blogspot.com/p/why-is-this-blog-called-jon-upsals.html

Why is this blog called "Jön Upsal's Garden"? Obviously, my name is not Jön Upsal. The name of this blog comes from a Danish folk-tale, as recorded in Scandinavian Folk-Lore: Illustrations of the Traditional Beliefs of the Northern Peoples Selected and Translated. By William Craigie, originally published in 1896. Here is the tale itself:. Whereas in other places they say "But Jesus though! A man who now lives in Copenhagen is said to have seen J.

Jön Upsal's Garden: Review: Asatru: A Native European Spirituality

http://jonupsalsgarden.blogspot.com/2015/07/review-asatru-native-european.html

Monday, July 6, 2015. Review: Asatru: A Native European Spirituality. I've been meaning to start a series of reviews of "beginner's Asatru" books, since one question that keeps coming up in online (and face-to-face) conversations is, "what's a good book I can start with? So when Stephen McNallen's Asatru: A Native European Spirituality. Arrived a couple of weeks ago, it seemed like a perfect opportunity. On the whole, this is a wonderful book for Asatruar from all ends of the spectrum. It's certainly...

Jön Upsal's Garden: Towards a Theory of Reconstructionist Religion (Part One)

http://jonupsalsgarden.blogspot.com/2015/07/towards-theory-of-reconstructionist.html

Tuesday, July 14, 2015. Towards a Theory of Reconstructionist Religion (Part One). It is often said that Asatru in general is a "reconstructionist" faith, meaning that it attempts to reconstruct the ancient faith of the pre-Christian Germanic peoples. While this vague description is sufficient to dstinguish it from more modern eclectic and inventive religions such as Wicca in casual conversation, it is not satisfactory when one considers the details. How do we identify gaps in the record? I don't pretend...
