A.scandanavia,northern Germany,northern France,most of the British Isles,North America,and parts of the Mediterranean.As explorers,warriors,wanders the worshipers of Vanir and the Aesir the Asa-gods there ability to leave there mark on every culture they encountered and there ability
to take from other cultures and add it to there own without ever loseing there own styles and histroy was unrivield in early times.Theres was the first where woman held positions of respect unlike many others in there day.Even before christian influnces they had the concepts of Ragnarok and a afterlife.
B.To be quite honest ive never delvied much in to the early history of the norse homeland.Much of what i now comes from a early love of maritime histroy of tall ships which lead me to the histroy of these northern german ancestors.
Undoubtably there choice to settle in the harsh northlands of the world helped to shape there spiritual concepts into what we know them as today.And even today the bloodlines of these warriors can be seen in every culture around the world today.

3.Modern Relativity
A.Cultraly:To be quite honest before this paper this is something i never gave any thought to.But the more i learn and deilve in to this path the more i see that there mark has been left thru out the world thru there bloodlines ,belifes,there cultureand in many ways that I am un able to express in words at this time.It is my hope as i learn more and walk on this path if it is mine to walk to come back to this lesson and add that what has been shown to me and what i have learned of this path.
4.approachability
A.For me the drawing to this tradition seems to be a natrual progression of my studys and my awe of the Mystic warriors.Other the red road shamanism I have yet on my personal journay found anything that matches these great Wolf-Warriors as they where called.Maybe its a long forgotton call of my heritage that as been over looked for so long.I at this time can not say I can only hope to find the answers at the end.
B.It is in my opinon that the world as a hole can refind there sense of respect and understanding of that which is to come.To once again respect all races and cultures even those that are not agreed with,But can be shown equal respect.And learned upon.
