Introduction and questions
« on: July 23, 2016, 10:14:36 am »
Hi all!

So I'm very new to pagan beliefs and I've actually come here after reading a couple of threads, on what I found out was your old forum.
I'm a 21 year old Dane studying molecular biology and even though Denmark is a christian country, most of "us" don't believe in anything, if you can put it that way. I thought I were the same, until I stumbled over pantheism. After that I read up on pagan, pantheistic and wiccan beliefs, however only scratching the surface. I have now stumbled over Flamekeeping, which explains me being here, because as I've learned it was apparently a member of your former forum (HeartShadow) who started it. Maybe still a member I have no idea.

So I've come here to find out more, as a quick google search wasn't really enough for me. I've read some posts and you guys seem like really nice and including people, so I thought I could get some help from here and hopefully one day contribute myself.

So I guess that's kind of an introduction of who I am and why I'm here. Hope we'll have a good time together on this forum.

And good day to all. :)

The last time I checked, it is not. Freedom of religion is a part of Danish legislation.

The Church of Denmark is still an established church, though (and your Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs tells the bishops what do!), but that doesn't make Lutheranism mandatory - just as only 17% of the population of England is Anglican, despite the established nature of C of E.

I hope I'm replying correctly with quote and all now.
But thanks and happy to se fellow Scandinavians as well.

Yeah that's true. I will have to take back that statement. I think it comes from Christianity being the most apparent religion in Denmark. However I don't really know. I've never looked into Denmark and religion with great depth.

is very true, of course. But you have several denominations, Christians and other, besides C of D. I believe, that you have something called Forn Siðr — Asa- og Vanetrosamfundet i Danmark, which is registered by the Danish Ministry of Ecclesiastical Affairs since 2003, but I am not entirely sure if they still exist.

Yup we do and I have no idea how it really works either. Actually I think from that statement, that you know more than I do. I have however been to multiple "Viking" fares set up by the "Forn Siðr — Asa- og Vanetrosamfundet i Danmark". So it's definitely present.
I have never before really been into religion and I've never before researched it as I do now. So there's a great many things I have absolutely no idea of.
