106 Gifts of the Wyrd: Thea Prothero Solitary Heathenry

In this episode, we welcome Thea Prothero — Heathen author, solitary practitioner, and writer of ghost tales — to discuss her newly released book Heathenry for the Solitary Practitioner, published by Moon Books as part of the Pagan Portals series. Thea shares her personal journey from Druidry and shamanic practice into Heathenry, the role of Odin in her practice, the influence of runes, and why she felt it was important to write the foundational guide she wished had existed when she started on her solitary path. Whether you're investigating Heathenry as a possible path for your spiritual journey or been traveling along the path for a while, our conversation is a good way to get to know of this resource to inform you or maybe help reset some ideas about Heathenry as a solitary practice.   Thea Prothero is a Heathen and a pilgrim. She spends most of her free time walking in the wildest remotest lands, places that still make the gods tremble, and she loves the challenge of finding connection through nature to the divine. Her book is published by Moon Books and is available via Amazon or Barnes & Noble. Check out her Substack at Heathen Pilgrim , Facebook at Thea Prothero - Author, and Instagram @heathen_pilgrim.
