E5 - WTF Spirit? - Guest Speaker - HeidiBeth Abney

In this episode, HeidiBeth Abney of Runestone Heathens of SW Ohio talks with us about Heathenry. Heidi has been a practicing pagan for almost 29 years. Like many people on the pagan path, HeidiBeth had an experience with the Christian church which led to her find an alternate way of experiencing spirit. HeidiBeth shares her wisdom on heathenry and how it is not just a masculine driven religion because it has many feminine deities to work with as well. She explains to us that heathenry is a reconstructionist religion and the part she works with is very open to different ideas rather than the staunch dogma associated with some religions. Heathenry is a religion and you do not have to work with Magick in order to be a heathen, however she explains combining them is very powerful. She and her husband Roger Abney started Runestone Heathens of SW Ohio right before the pandemic hit. Through the pandemic they realized many people wanted to be able to continue learning so many of their courses and classes are available online. You do NOT have to live in SW Ohio in order to join their community. Contact information for HeidiBeth: 1. Facebook - Runestone Heathens of SW Ohio 2. Email - [email protected] 3.
