The primary goal here is Sedian tenet 14. Sedianism is the way we celebrate our ancient tradition in the modern world.
Our ancestors walked great distances, for hunting, travel, ancient warfare, migration.
But the primary goal is to provide an enjoyable experience for people that love the outdoors. As well as being in touch with the lands we live in and the Gods.

I grew up on a homestead, and I understand the romanticized allure of the freedom it brings. But I also remember the hardships—being so far from town, the isolation, and the constant work.
Since my grandfather passed, I've thought about him often. One of the best things he ever told me was this:
"Boy, one day you'll become a man. Get away from here and make a life of your own. But don't live like this—there's nothing to it in the end."
This was a man who bought a small motorhome and built a house around it. He carved a life out of the mountain and raised a family there. "The times were simpler," he used to say.
At the end of his life, he moved into town. On the phone, he'd tell me:
"It's not all bad."
What I've taken from all of this is simple—don't be afraid to live a different kind of life. Embrace it with integrity, in a way that allows you to provide and stand strong. Make a living for yourself. Hard work does pay off, more often than not.
Today I went with my two kids and wife and we picked some strawberries. Those are where the memories are made.

A belief in the Gods
A Sedian Tru (tenet) #1
A belief in the Gods
An article to learn about Sedian belief and the natural order of the cosmos
1. We believe that our Gods and Goddesses actively exist as literal powers within the natural universe.
Ð ð Eth = English -th
Þ Thorn = Th as in Thor
Œ/œ used to represent the long vowel, pronounced uh" in "uh-oh" or the vowel in "hurt" but with rounded lips.
Ó/ó a long "o" sound, similar to the "o" in "go" or "boat"
Á/á" is pronounced as a long, open "a" sound
ǫ The "o" in "lot", "not", "caught", or "bought"
We will refer to the Gods and Goddesses as the Goðin this is used to group our deities in our pantheon.
Our Gods were birthed into our cosmos by the primordial elements that filled the void. Odin’s Great grandfather the primordial Ymir from his elemental sweat birthed Bur, who in turned married Bestla (Urðr), this union produced Bor, the father of Odins, Villi (Lóðurr) and Ve (Hœnir). In this time, they struggled fought and prevailed against the chaotic powers of the forming void that had sprung life into existence. In doing this they defeated the primordial and eventually created the realm of Midgard. The three brothers had become the creators and responsible to tend and care for what would become the world of men.
Just like an ecosystem they themselves are the caretakers, pulling beings like weeds that are invasive and clearing the rot of the Jǫtnar. They tasked other beings such as the (Dvergar) Dwarfs and (Álfar) Elves to tend to the world itself. We can see this in our Edda the prose and poetic, but more clearly in The Asatru Edda, literature that puts it into a better perspective. In Teutonic mythology by Viktor Rydberg, we see this in a comprehensive study, a very long read but work it.
• Literal Powers:
Just as Njordr rules the sea and ensures prosperity, as þor is asked to stop the powers of ice and snow. As Sunna pulls the sun do we see these responsibilities in our world firsthand, forever going until the possible end times. These deities are not just metaphors or symbolic representations, but actual, tangible forces or powers within the natural world.
• Actively Exist:
Odin himself is said to wonder the world elevating great men to a high position, and in doing so adding to his forces of Ásgarðr. This in essence is what it means to be a devoted follower of Odin, to practice his devine attributes but also have linage to him. This was necessary for Kingship and rule, as we’ve seen many from older times claim linage to Odin. A good and well-known example would be Alfred the Great of Wessex who claimed linage to Woden the Old English word for Odin.
We have seen in recent years that winters in the north have not begun to harsh, but eventually they do come. Some years may be the exception in which the cold has been minor. It had always turned out to be a White Yule until afterwards but then followed up by a dry spell and drought. The last few years have been better with winter becoming more consistence, and the snow melt providing the water needed, in this time I had considered the natural balance altered and wondered if Þor was in a fury. Perhaps his rule was so absolute that there were no incursions into the mortal realm. This theory comes from that the Jǫtnar were not being delivered to the world mill to be ground up into resources.
• Natural Universe:
As mentioned it is an ecosystem and there for is not separated from our natural cosmos, instead it all works in conjunction with our universe. It has often been said that nature will always correct itself. This is a statement I hold absolutely true, and we have seen this with our own eyes. Regardless what bad happens time moves on, and good times eventually present themselves. This also boils down to one’s actions on a individual level, how we act our own deeds and misdeeds. Such things are judged at the Helthing the Goðin themselves judge us and our punishment may await us for our Nið or lesser actions.

Sedian belief in the modern world has begun to extend its roots into contemporary society, bringing with it a deeper understanding of our theology. By theology, we mean not just abstract doctrine, but a living framework a cultural anchor that grounds our faith in both ancestral memory and present-day relevance.
As with many of the Goðin’s creations, we serve Them in the realm of Miðgarðr. We ourselves are part of the manifest and cosmic order. When Óðinn, Lóðurr, and Hœnir carved Askr and Embla from driftwood, They did not merely shape form they bestowed essence. They gave Ond (spirit), Lá (blood), and Óðr (inspiration/soul), among other gifts. This sacred moment is captured in Völuspá 18:
Soul they had not, sense they had not,
heat nor motion, nor goodly hue;
soul gave Óðinn, sense gave Hœnir,
heat gave Lóðurr and goodly hue—
litr goða, the hue of the gods.
This stanza affirms that we, as descendants of European lineage, are not separate from the divine order but are later born of it. We are not merely observers of the sacred we are participants in it. Our existence is a continuation of that divine vision, and our role varies to worship, and service to the Goðin in accordance with our Örlög.
Our Örlög our personal and ancestral layers of fate shape how we engage with the world and the Gods. It is through the conscious handling of what is set before us that we either align with or stray from the cosmic order. In this way, Sedian faith does not merely influence modern cultural identity it revives it. It offers a path of rootedness, resilience, and reverence in a world often adrift.
In our modern identity, we have become a hybrid lineage and we should not shun this. It was inevitable; shaped by the tides of history and the many encounters of our forbearers shaping our folk into what it is today. Perhaps this very blending is part of our Örlög a evolution toward something greater within the grand design of the cosmic order.
The world we have inherited through the sacred acts of creation is ours too care for. The strife we now face is but another thread in the tapestry of Wyrd. If conflict does not arise in one corner of the realm, it will in another. This is the balance sometimes to be corrected, sometimes to be maintained.
Many forget that the seasons turn without the aid of men. Sól rises with Dagr and sets, yielding to Máni and Nótt. Óðinn wanders still, seeking those of heroic worth, while Þórr stands ever vigilant, driving back the devouring chaos of the jötnar. In this, we see that the cosmic order does not depend on us—but we are called to live in harmony with it.
The order will endure until the end of time, whether we heed it or not. But to walk in step with it to recognize our place within it is to live with purpose, rooted in both ancestry and faith and pride.
