about me
This is the bio from my books:
"Swain Æþeling Wódening is an Anglo-Saxon Heathen, and one of the founding members of the Miercinga Ríce. He started his Heathen life back in 1984 along with his brother. He learned of the Asatru Free Assembly the year it disbanded, but in 1989 he learned of and joined the Troth. Shortly thereafter, he learned of Theodism, then solely an Anglo-Saxon phenomena, and joined the Winland Ríce in 1993. He rapidly advanced to the arung of lord by writing articles and attracting new members. In 1996, after several disputes with the leadership, he left to form the Angelseaxisce Ealdriht with Winfred Hodge. The Ealdriht grew to be the largest Anglo-Saxon Heathen and Theodish organization to ever exist. The Ealdriht eventually became the Miercinga Ríce (for info go to www.ealdriht.org) in an effort to encourage regionalism, and to return to a purer form of Theodish Belief. He led that organization until June, 2006 when he resigned to seek a deeper spirituality. His former wife Teresa then took over leadership. Swain has written several books and booklets and countless articles including "Hammer of the Gods: Anglo-Saxon Paganism in Modern Times", and "Germanic Magic." " Now that we are through with the official bio, I can get on with the regular one. I am married with two children, a stepson and son. I grew up in Missouri, now living in Texas, and work as a manager for a major retail chain.

Every year at Yule I try to do one great boast. Usually, this takes the form of an oath to do something. But this year, I will speak of someone I hold very dear. To the most beautiful woman in Heathenry, my former wife Tee Wodening, an æþelinga by birth, a hlafidge by word and deed, a lady whose honor cannot be questioned. A good mother, she was a good wife too. May the Idesa smile upon her in the coming year.

Twenty one years ago today my father died at age 69. Thirteen years later my mother died on Oct. 15th. They were good folk. My father was a hard working farmer that until he fell ill with cancer worked everyday from a young child. He taught me about honesty, respect, and saw the importance of an education, having only completed the eighth grade himself. It was his beliefs while Christian that lead me to Heathen. His own ideas were more in keeping with Heathen philosophy. My mother was a house...

I have started a life coach business. Life coaching consists of helping folks figure out their goals, work through problems in their life, and puts them on a path of self discovery. Anyone needing a life coach should message me. My rates are reasonable.

Tonight I return to work. I am sad to see my weekend over, extended though it may have been. Since I went on my weight restriction, I have hated work, and look forward to Monday when I see when my medical leave begins. That is when I will schedule the surgery. As to this weekend, I did not do much. Drank some mead, and watched TV. I did see Bait Shop on the USA Network. That was a funny movie. Makes me miss fishing though. I really need to find a day job so I will have more time for such thi...

Well, my weekend is almost over. I did not do much this weekend, but sleep and watch TV. I did finally write a post for my main journal at swainblog.englatheod.org. It was inspired by a post by Garmr called What is the Appeal of Loki? Last night I watched the remake of 3:10 to Yuma. I enjoyed it a great deal. I love watching westerns anyway.
