ULLCOMBE

 Don't expect this blog or a book to make you wise, you need to see for yourself what is true , because that is the only way you can learn anything. This is how you gain wisdom in life.

The Asatru faith should be a thing not only of the mind but also of the heart, if you want to really experience our gods it's important you get out in the countryside remember our gods are nature the twitter of a bird the leaves rustling on the trees, the sound of water in a stream. Everything in nature is part of the gods and the noises and signs in the countryside are the ways our gods reach out to us as the materialised thoughts of the gods and earth spirits. Visiting ancient sites connected to our faith is therefore very important. 

In the church yard of All Saints Ullcombe church in Kent, grows a  giant magical Yew that pagans call `Heimir’ it’s is one of the oldest trees in southern England. A Plaque in the church yard claims the tree is 2,000 year old, but it could be century's older. The pagans who visit and care for the tree claim, when the immortal gods of Asgard banished the giant race from middle earth and the black sun shone this yew was already old.

The Yew which was mentioned in Doomsday book, was the burial site for wodens kin before church was built. Six Jutish kings were buried here including Hengist and his son Oisic, who ruled kent for 24 years, from 488 to 516 after Hengists death were both buried at Ullcombe. Those who travel there and tie a offering on the tree that is old in years but wise and cunning do so to embrace it's power, by seeing, touch and feeling it. While those who only read about it on this blog can't and will never understand its power.
