Military Faith Codes: Who Gets Counted? // Northwoods Kindred Podcast EPI 65

from Northwoods Kindred Podcast · host Goði Bodvárr and Gyðia Skogul

#asatru #norsepagan #pagan #northwoodskindred #spirituality #military In this episode, Gothi Bodvarr and Skogul Gydia take a closer look at the recent changes to the Department of Defense's religious affiliation codes and what those changes may mean for Heathens, Pagans, and other minority faith communities serving in the military.For years, Heathens fought for recognition and visibility within military systems. With the Pentagon's recent reduction of faith codes, questions are being raised about representation, accommodation, and what happens when previously recognized faiths are grouped into broader categories.Join us as we explore the history of military faith recognition, the addition of Heathen, Asatru, and other faith codes in 2017, the current controversy surrounding their removal, and the larger question at the heart of the debate:Who gets counted, and why does it matter?Follow Northwoods Kindred & Asatru Global Linktree: https://linktr.ee/northwoodskindredhttps://northwoodskindred.myshopify.com/collections/digital-downloadsNorthwoods Kindred Discord: https://discord.gg/umeumVKyuBAsatru Global Community Needs Survey: https://forms.gle/eVMyqd1t54p1Y7w77Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/NorthwoodsKindredDiscord - https://discord.gg/Yt6u62GW6uAmazon - https://amzn.to/3FaSQAyWebsite - https://www.northwoodskindred.comLinktree - https://linktr.ee/northwoodskindredMusic: "The Northwoods Kindred" by Gardvord Music, Fetsung, Norway. 🇧🇻https://linktr.ee/gardvord
