    Re: Tribes and tribe building

    For my own experiences with Family vs Tribe, I do have relations who follow Heathenry whom I can celebrate different blots and festivals with. I find the ties I have with these relatives to be stronger than those I have with any other family member, or friend.
    I also used to have a friend whom I converted over to Heathenry. He has since tried to bed with the mother of my child, and speak ill words of me while I am not present. I do not know if this counts for anything, but I know family would never do such things, while a tribe can turn on you if politics or personal gains are right. That isn't to say all tribesmen are as disrespectful as this "friend" was to me, but this can always be a possibility.
    "In the shade now tall forms are advancing,
    And their wan hands like snowflakes in the moonlight are gleaming;
    They beckon, they whisper, 'Oh! strong armed in valor,
    The pale guests await thee - mead foams in Valhalla.'"
    - Finn's Saga
