Our Beliefs - The Kennings of Lodge Yggdrasill™
What is Lodge Yggdrasill?
First and foremost.....We are a Family. This Family is made up of both Kith and Kin.
Lodge Yggdrasill is not a destination that may be visited by car or by boat.
One may only arrive at it by the resolve of their own heart.
The best way to describe who and what we are, is by reading our "Lagu" page.
Does Lodge Yggdrasill have a hierarchal system? How does it operate?
Lodge Yggdrasill is not a hierarchy. We are a "round-table" group: taking in unision - the; thoughts, ideas, responsibilities, goals, feedback, and dreams of all Lodge Members. We do not (nor will we ever) have a High Priest and/or High Priestess. (Having titles or degrees does not a leader make.)
All Lodge Members are "Priests" and "Priestesses" alike. The term we specifically use is: "Godi" and "Godia". (The literal translation from the ON is: "God" and "Goddess".)
Does Lodge Yggdrasill have a degree system?
No, we do not believe in, or practice a "degree" system. However, we do require that all Lodge Members complete our standard "year-and-a-day" instruction...Followed by Our Initiation Process.
Is Lodge Yggdrasill a Wiccan, Heathen, Asatruar, Odinistic, Witch, or Pagan group?
We are Heathens who practice ancient Pictish movements within our rituals.
(Primarily, the structure of most of our rituals are Pictish, while our governing laws and deities are Norse.)We are not ecclectic, as we do follow a refined oral tradition; which has a rich hereditary line.
What makes Lodge Yggdrasill different from other Pagan Groups and/or Spiritual Organizations?
What makes us different than other Pagan Groups and/or Spiritual Organizations is that we teach, and facilitate (that which we know) to others. That is to say, that one does not have to "join us" in order to receive our benefits.
Likewise, we will teach and initiate Solitary Pratitioners, and Small Family Groups without prejudice, and without "membership" (if they so choose). This is a great service (we believe) to Our Community. We gift them the ability to be "vindicated" and "initiated" by members of their Community...without having to "change" and/or "assimilate" to another's Ways, Beliefs and/or Traditions.
