Norse Paganism at Sølvfelt Farm

By

 
    Norse Paganism is the belief in the old "Norse Gods". It is the religion that pre-dates the coming of Christianity. Since much of the source material and oral legends were lost; we rely on what few things were written, and the few oral legends that survived the spread of the Abrahamic religion. While much has been lost, there is still a massive resurgence of the old faiths since before the turn of the century. We will not claim to be experts, but we will always strive to stay true to ourselves and our ancestors. Norse Paganism is an open belief system and welcomes those who are drawn to it. We do not tolerate hate or bigotry in any shape or form. Nor do we condone appropriating from other cultures, which can be rampant online. We believe the world, can be healed and nurtured with love, compassion, Gods, and gardens. 

In Our Life

    My husband and I have only become more devoted followers of Norse Paganism in the last few years. As the pandemic spread, things seemed bleak, and it appeared we were near rock bottom. It was at this point, already being spiritual people, that we were called to this path of our ancestors. We believe with all our hearts that we have survived and continue to prevail because of this. The Gods and Ancestors have taught us this lesson: that family and love can be eternal and divine. It was family that gave us a home while we work towards our dream, and it is love that keeps moving us forward.

In The Garden

    One of the best ways to connect with the spirits is in the garden. It's in this space; that the connection can be built and strengthened. Working the earth, tending plants, feeding the visiting animals and insects; all of these things are congruent with how our ancestors lived. Everyone experiences Faith differently. Some of us feel an intimate connection to the natural forces of nature long before we can describe what we are feeling. Others spend a large part of their life with no connection, only to stumble upon it later. No matter how the path is discovered, once you're on it, you realize it's the only path through the woods. 

All Are Welcome

    Any Norse Pagan worth their weight in silver will tell you this: Norse Paganism is a welcoming and OPEN faith and religion.  So, we welcome all of good faith, with open hearts and love. 

Gods watch over you, friends.

Living Soil and Soil Health

 The earth beneath you teams with life.      The ground under us is a vibrant thing. Especially if treated well and allowed to perform its natural cycles. It is also the foundation for life on this planet. Healthy soil is the key to both the flora, fauna, and humans, living a well-fed life. The living soil is home to an extraordinary number of things: animals, insects, fungi, bacteria, microbes, also the nutrients and minerals that make the biochemistry of life possible. A healthy home environment encourages growth, abundance, and love.

    For the Love of Making There is so much to see, learn, and craft in this life. Why not give it our all? That's what we think here at Solvfelt Farm. Join us on the path of homemade and handcrafted. Joy and sustainability await those who take up a craft. The Crafter/Maker's life is one of love, creativity, and passion. So, dive in and share your art, passion, and creativity with the community and world. Take The Plunge The first step is often the hardest one, but with bravery and support, we can all make wonderful things happen. Some of that anxiousness could stem from the sheer number of things you could start. A plethora of goods can be made at home, but I remind myself often that: "One person can only do so much" and try to stick to the things that bring joy, passion, and happiness. With knitting, crocheting, and sewing you can create garments, blankets, bags, hats, coats, and so much more. You can harness the beauty of local yarns, fibers...
