ASH Thews (or Virtues) and Me: Self Examination 01-12-2008 09:47 к комментариям - к полной версии - понравилось!



 Well, it's been a while....  could possibly be a little while 'til my next post after this one. But anyway....

 I wanted to talk about ethics/ virtues. Since I'm considering and looking into Anglo Saxon Heathenry, here's a link with some info on the thews, or virtues, of Anglo Saxon Heathenry:  http://www.englatheod.org/virtues.htm

 They include: Frith, Honour, Freedom, Truth (honesty), Loyalty, Justice, Bravery, Industriousness, Equality, Friendship, Generosity, Hospitality, Moderation, Neighborliness, Steadfastness, and Wisdom. 

 As a little exercise in self-examination (something that, in all honesty, I really don't do a whole lot of - not really), I thought I'd type up a series of blog posts - each one dealing with a seperate thew and how I live up to it, or how I do NOT live up to it and ways I can change that. I'm going to make entries in my physical, real-life journal, as well...  some stuff that I write about there, my not be posted here, but I think most of it might be.  I'm going to make my first journal entry this evening, I think, and then try to post here tomorrow - or at least some time in the next few days. 

 This is actually something that I've been thinking about doing for a while, and...  well...  "no time like the present," huh?  :P lol  

 Just based on what little I do know about these virtues, they make quite a lot of sense to me.  And I think that it could be a good, even noble, thing to try to live by them.  So, as I said before, I thought that maybe a little self-examination might be in order... I already know that I fall rather short of living up to some of them.  A few others, I've pretty much always tried to live by.  But anyway, I think it will be food for thought. Even tho I can't do a hell of a lot of actual studying, I think this could be a good step to take in my spiritual/ religous developement. So I'm kind of excited. :)

 But anyway...  I couldn't really decide which one to start with at first. Last night, tho, I pretty much decided that I would go ahead and just work my way down the list on that link I gave above.  So, the first one I'll post about will be Frith. 

  "See" ya'll then  :)
