People have always tried to define such a thing, but between folkish willful ignorance and SCA dramaticism we've had difficulties finding a real spiritual theology outside Jungian and Dumezilian theories...which supplies us with dogma without root, so people have scrambled to indoctrinate themselves to Thorsson's paradigm. People need to remember Asatru is a New Religious Movement, not a tradition. It'll take generations to define any "orthodoxy". Funny, Orthodoxy and Asatru.

Wow. Kind of sad really. I love your podcasts. Keep up the great work.

There are some very conservative heathens in the Troth, and some people who are not quite sure what they are. This is one of the functions of the organization: to be a place where people coming from someplace else can land within organized heathenry and get a look around. Some folks get their bearings and decide to stay. Some move on to other heathen organizations, or maintain dual memberships. Some just move on. And some maintain their memberships and their not-quite-sure-what-they-are status. For those of us who are definitely heathen, that's annoying sometimes. Other times, it's... well... colorful. If that's not your cup of mead, that's OK with me. The Troth is one of the growth points in modern heathenry. It needs to be here. I don’t think one can generalize about “the religion of the Troth”.

I find the religion of the Troth to be very misguided and offensive, the wiccatru elements, the universalism, and especialy the fringe sexuality activism. All that aside, having members from the Troth and all other heathen leadership is very beneficial and is a great service to out community. Getting voices out there (those you agree with and those you disagree with) is very important and I get alot out of it, thanks I enjoyed the interview and I really enjoy your podcast.

But there was one little thing you messed up on (LOL!!!). There is for the most part 5 of us on our show (Ron, Charity, Tony, Lisa, & Laurie). The time frame that we recorded you guys for the show Lisa and Laurie could not make it becouse thay could not get the night off form there jobs. But all in all great show guys as always.

This seems to be a back-handed compliment. Obviously this interview disturbed you sufficiently so that you did not listen to end. You missed me mentioning that the Troth has no hold on what we do. You apparently also missed the last series of 'casts we did on all the National Asatru groups that we could find. I will not give you nor ask your permission for an approved list on who we interview, sorry. "If this is going to turn into a biased Universalist/Wiccatru we love all Pagans please let me know." Clearly, we don't agree with you. With this attitude, don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out. We put folks on the air who have something to say about or on Asatru and are willing to be recorded. We have recorded folks who's views we don't agree with because we thought it might be interesting and informative to other Asatru. Perhaps our next interview will be more to your liking. Wow.

But wonder if you are going to interview other authors such as: Greg Shelter,Swain Wodening,Mark Puryear,Mark Mirabello and James Hjuka Coulter. Or are only Troth approved guest going to be allowed now? Mrs.Paxon's dual involvement in the COG/Troth may not bother others, but in my opinion you are Tru or your not. Who's next?Raven Kaldera?
