Theoretical map of Norse constellations. There is some evidence in the Eddas of stars being associated with beings: Thiazi’s eyes, Aurvandil’s toe, Frigg’s (or Freyja’s) distaff, etc. While evidence is scarce, it’s nice to think that the Greeks and Romans weren’t the only ones looking to the stars for inspiration, guidance, and insight.

Midwinter Fire
Welcome to Midwinter Fire, a collection of things that we find personally inspiring for Heathenism. Although we focus on Scandinavian culture, also represented here are other Northern European sources including Celtic, Scottish and Slavic. We live in rural Vermont.

By the way, whatever you do, don't view this in IE. It's crap.
