For example, if someone says they will turn up for a Blot, and fail to without previously imforming me (we all have mobile phones these days) then I reserve the right to question their committment. I also reserve the right to continue to welcome them to Blots they do deign to visit (on sunny days when they have nothing better to do). Honestly, that sounds like what i go through with Band practice. I am often the first to arrive and the last to leave, and at least one of the guys is usually late, or its not unheard of that they dont show up for a show. One thing that ive learned in life (because for most of my life i was a dedicated slacker) Is that everyone is replacable. I learned that the hard way. Especially with regards to a band that i intend to do something with. or even work related ****, it really gets to you when someone doesnt show. Honestly, though i do not know any other Asatruar in my area, so i suppose i dont have to be so concerned about it at the present time. But if i did have a group, i would be ****ed, just like i get with the band. How much more ****ed would you be if it was a religion and not a hobby? It is a religion. Yours and mine. Perhaps we have a different ideal of what it means. Perhaps you have more experience in it. But is it any less important to me? No. But all along i know there will always be people who jump too quick. My solution would be to give them a chance to bail, and not worry about it. IF after that chance they still clung on, and then still did not act committed, then i would be ****ed. But thats me, and you are you. As I wrote at the end: "Do we have a religion or a hobby? If we answer 'religion' then there is nothing more important. It is not merely a factor in our lives, it is our lives and we should consciously treat it as such. If the answer is 'hobby' then, to put it bluntly, take your hobby elsewhere." havamal affects my actions daily, and i definately believe the Aesir exist. I am no universalist besides believing that other gods do exist to different people. I would never draw the sword on any of my kinsmen or folks that i do not really know, Unless they have been asking for it for a long time. there you go,. Djirkie has you now. Bertie |
