Do norse pagans put an emphasis on ritual purification?
« on: April 28, 2013, 08:29:48 pm »
I know that hellenismos requires a constant vigilance for miasma and thus ritual purification, but do norse pagans have similar attitudes to "uncleanness"? Beyond physical hygiene, I don't think I'd found much comments about spiritual purification in norse traditions.

I've never actually heard any mention of ritual purification within Norse Paganism. I think basic personal hygiene would be expected but beyond that, I'd say no.
