Yule 07, bonds and Kindreds

Yule this year was excellent. I'm glad I was able to make it this year. Mostly because I missed my connection with the Folk, the head of the Hearth and my Systir. I also miss being able to have good conversations on the Lore, the Folk and the Faith.

I get a little tired of defending my beliefs from those who think all Asatruar are red neck hillbillies who find the Faith while in Jail for various crimes or racist jackasses who are using the faith as a shield for their dishonor.

On top of our regular celebrations and forn and Symbel led there was also a new oathbinding. Those of us present in the morning renewed our oaths to Suthristein, to Lonnie, and to Marcel. If Kevin been able to stay we would have renewed those to him as well. My Brudir, Danny and I also renewed our vows to each other and to our Hearth. Then we declared the founding of Kindred Mimirstein as a Western Clan of Suthristein, and oathed it to Suthristein, and several of our new members became members of Kindred Mimirstein.**

Hail Ya'll!

Hail Suthristein! Hail Mimirstein!

** Since Danny already said it well, I snagged his announcement and tweaked it for here
