Pagan Preppers and Homesteaders Short Link Roundup

Nasturtium, peppermint, and chamomile
 from my garden last year.

I've considered myself technically a prepper for over a decade, though admittedly on the smaller scale side of things. I also considered myself conservative for about 15 years before my former party nominated an orange mad man, but was slowly coming into the prepping mindset during the Bush 2 era.  I've just never fit into a box politically.  I think there've always been Pagan preppers from different political backgrounds.  It's just that liberals don't tend to do the chest-pounding and flag-waving that fits the prepping stereotype, so you may not hear about it so much.  

I've always thought there should be a marriage between elements of the more right-wing pro-gun and the left-wing herbal healing aspects of prepping culture.  Both sides are interested in homesteading.  I don't think I'm the only one who believes this, so prepping has become more quietly mainstream even with people who thought it was silly before.

If you're new and want info or to find others of like mind, here are a few sources to check out:

I'm sure there are many more, but this will get you started.  Feel free to post your favorite Pagan prepping or homesteading links in the comments.

Disclaimer:  Since we're so polarized culturally, I'm adding this disclaimer.  This post is not meant to imply that anyone I link to endorses me or my views and vice versa.  It's simply all about supporting the idea of pagans being involved in prepping.

In much of Europe and Asia, the common walnut, also known as the English walnut, is widely cultivated for its delicious nuts. The most prevalent walnut trees in North America are the white or butternut walnut and the black walnut tree. Black Walnut. Credit: Jami Dwyer, Wikimedia Commons . Walnut Trees in Natural Medicine Besides being a favorite nut in baking recipes, the walnut itself contains the mineral manganese. Linda Rector Page, N.D., in Healthy Healing: A Guide to Self-Healing for Everyone relates that one of the many benefits of manganese is supporting the brain and nerve centers. It also helps eliminate fatigue and nervous conditions. The le...

Prayer to Tyr

A prayer to Tyr in this dark time. Image Credit: Trish Deneen A prayer to Tyr, a god I've been more and more drawn to the last few months in my personal practice.  Image text reads: Hail Tyr, enemy of chaos. You who sacrificed a part of yourself to stave off destruction. Warder of true justice and those weary among us less capable of the fight. Balance keeper, honorable warrior. I praise you for your gift of being the boundary between us and defeat. Hail Tyr! Prayer to Tyr © 2020 by Trish Deneen is licensed under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0

Credit: Parent Géry, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons I've created a new meditation video for my Northland Hearth channel in support of my article at Hubpages titled, Crystals for Grounding and Healing the Root Chakra . My goal is to add more audio and video media to my existing blog posts and articles across the web, as well as create new written content and support it with videos. This will include a range from what some might consider "woo" to hard polytheist journeys. Why should AI have all the fun, eh? I hope you enjoy.
