Good Day from Germany!
« on: April 28, 2020, 01:54:22 pm »
Herewith I would like to introduce myself briefly.
I was born and raised as a Protestant Lutheran Christian and followed that path more or less enthusiastic for the bigger part of my childhood and young adult age. Around 2000 I stepped into Buddhism for a period of perhaps 2 years but finally could not stay in that religion for it caused internal conflicts with my deeper values.
Around 2012 I became interested in the Nordic Mythology and as I acquired more knowledge and insight I became also more fascinated. Since 2014 I consider myself as an Ásatrúar and I am still developing myself in that spirituality.
I live in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany and I am married and a father of two. My leisure time I spend largely with my family, sports and traveling.
I am looking forward to communicate with other members of the forum about all things related, and unrelated :-), and hope I can contribute to the exchange of ideas in the future.

Guten Tag! Welcome! That is amazing that you live in Germany, I have a lot of German heritage, and while I took German as a foreign language in school I forgot most of it and I'm currently trying to re-learn it while in quarantine. Hopefully you enjoy the Cauldron :)

Thank you very much Ehina, for your nice reply!
I have relatives in US and Canada and lived and worked in UK for 8 1/2 years before returning to Germany. I very much like the fact that we all often have more in common than we anticipated before reaching out and I think that's exactly is what a forum like this can facilitate.
Best wishes to you!

Welcome! I spent a week in Düsseldorf last year, and would like to visit other spots in the future. Pröst!

And I have come back here now after some time.
