Excellent article Brunwulf! As a more farmer/craftsman type of guy I must admit that the deeply philosophical bits were lost on me. However I think that at as somebody who has had a roughly similar "origin story" as yourself, this article does a lot to express the process of truly becoming heathen rather than doing so merely intellectually. The way that you describe our forebears' worldview (as an organic whole) I think is spot on! One element I believe to be crucial for newer heathen is that of time. It really does take time to change one's perspective. I've been on this path for about 5 years (from a scientistic background) and I'm only just beginning to truly *feel* heathen.
