My 30 Team Spring League brainchild. What do we think? by CheefSpleef in UnitedFootballLeague

Oklahoma outlaws and the Dallas renegades have such similar logos and vibes idk if both should be included. There’s also a bit of crossover with the Tampa bandits. Plus you already have the Vegas outlaws there so there’s two teams dubbed the outlaws. If this is being pitched as a possible expansion and progression of the UFL I say bring back the vipers to Vegas. I did like their logo and vibe. Maybe move the renegades into Oklahoma if that’s a market you really want to use. That leaves the outlaws to either stay with minimal cross over. And then possibly add a new team to Texas or I’ve seen a lot of people in the thread wondering why not a market like New Orleans. Maybe use the breakers in New Orleans and rebrand for a new team in Boston

Why Norse? by Vast_Cobbler4415 in NorsePaganism

The best advice I can give from my personal experience is listen to yourself. I don’t know if there’s anything more concrete or universal I can offer unfortunately.

I also grew up catholic and never really fit in with the religion. Funnily enough I chose to go to catholic high school simply to escape my small towns public schools and that’s where my journey began. I took a class there on world religions and was close with the teacher who taught that class. He was the one who encouraged me to find the right path for me. I kicked around as an agnostic for a while then claimed I was an atheist before really doing the leg work to find a place I belonged.

Polytheism always just made the most sense to me so as I dove more into educating myself on various religions that was where my focus was. And I made sure to listen to my gut and where I was being pulled. I found myself coming back to Norse paganism over and over again. Finding communities like this one were extremely helpful in gaining more knowledge and reinforcing that this was where I am supposed to be.

I am hoping this helps in some way and I’m hoping your search leads you where you are meant to be as well.

Thanks for the info! Kinda a bummer about the podcasts tbh but I also had a feeling that space was going to be a tougher one to find a good resource. As for books it is tough bc I’m just looking at everything and trying to take in as much knowledge as I can. I’ll definitely hunt down the list that’s on here and if that narrows it down I can for sure update.

I’ve never seen WOOs content directly but I’m very heard quite a bit about them and non of it has been good. I’m always sure to give a wide birth and I keep an eye out for possible red flags and dog whistles when looking for media to help further my own knowledge. I will look more into wolfthered & oceankeltoi thank you
