I am an Asatruar. I have worked with different Gods and Goddesses, but stick usually with Tyr and Frigg.

I don't put a name on myself because I follow my intuition on practices, but I am strictly a Freya devotee and follower.

I would say i'm eclectic due to i'm just starting out to see if this path is for me.

But i'm leaning on to the more Vanir side for gods and more lighter aspects

I cannot understand why a Heathen is thought of only as Norse beliefs!
Originally, a Heathen was one who "lived on the Heath" ie "outside of the village or settlement". A shepherd would be such, as they "tended their flock" on the Heath, and lived with the flock. Some witches lived "on the Heath".
Most modern thinkers would class Heathens as anyone not believing in the main-stream religions, not necessarily Norse.
In that sense Wicca is Heathen. As is Taoism and Shinto! And many others.

Heathenry is the name of Norse paganism. Therefore, those who are Norse pagans refer to themselves as Heathens.

heathenry is an extremely common word among heathens, and the word many of us use for ourselves

anyways, i guess i would belong to Asatru, although i usually just identify as heathen. im more or less a purist, and mostly honor Odin. though ive worked with Tyr and Loki in the past

I am a Tribalistic Asatruar, devoted to the Aesir. The deities I strive to honor are Thor the Protector, Odin the Allfather, Heimdallr the Guard, and Baldr the Loved.

Asatru, Thorian. I mainly work with and through, Thor.

However, I respect all practitioners within their chosen Norse paths. I don't have the right to judge.
