Hey everyone! I'm currently in the process of developing my personal tradition, and I've only recently discovered what direction I want to take it. Since I personaly feel drawn towards the Celtic and Northern traditions of paganism, I think that I'm going to want to combine the two. So, if anyone on here could give me some good sources on the two traditions, or if any of you practice either of these two particular paths, please feel free to share your information and your opinions, it/they would most definitely be appreciated. Blessed Be!

By the way, "Gall Gaedhil" means "Foreign Irish" (roughly). That's the term that was given to the Norse conquers who intermingled with the Irish population they conquered, or to any person who had Norse heritage in their bloodline.

Hmmm. I just did a lengthy reply on another post about the same thing. But I did wish you the best of luck blending. I think that is one of the problems we all run into after studying, researching and practicing eclectic style and wanting more of a tradition to put together. I am trying to figure my blend and it is not easy trying to be true to deity and since there are no demands, staying true to myself... Mab

Thanks for the well-wishes, Mab. Hopefully, it won't be too hard to do, since there are some similarities and parrallels between the two practices. I'll let you know how it turns out! :signthankspin:
